User Reviews

Reviewers praise Substack as a writer-first, independent platform with strong web publishing and honest discourse, offering a robust alternative to big social networks and a wide range of thoughtful, independent voices. They value deep engagement and discovery of ideas. However, several reviews flag reliability and user-experience issues: persistent iOS app glitches that hamper writing, and onboarding friction with mandatory app install to read content. Overall Substack is seen as a strong platform for independent voices, but reliability and UX glitches need attention.

App crashes at about 1 minute thirty seconds of any audio you play. Used to be one crash and then the audio would play upon reopening the app, now it crashes every time at about that timestamp regardless of whether you fast forward.
