Solid three for me. The articles in here are wonderful, the writers are so full of life and I think it's a wonderful platform to let down your writing skills. My problem is the accessibility, it is so limited. The many articles I'd like to read with intriguing titles are always members only and I believe it's quite unfair. The layout is simple and easy to navigate but the reason I cut back with the two stars is the absolute limited accessibility.

The app works great and is a better experience than the browser. But I'm so-so on Medium itself. I appreciate their value. It's an awesome ad free platform that provides beginning authors with an audience. But, its utility is somewhat limited for me. It's pretty cool if you wanna zone out with an eclectic library of articles, but I don't really do that. Mostly, I want a specific subject, but it's not ideal for searching, plus articles are partially blocked about 80% of time in free version

I just found this app today and already love it! It has soooo many articles and most of them are short reads (5 minutes or less). You can save them for later or read right away. In the free edition, you're only allowed so many articles per month and it's not many, maybe 5 or 6 before it tells you you've exceeded your free limit for the month. Then to read any more you have to sign yo for the monthly or yearly plan. It costs either $5/mo or $60/yr. I'm starting with the $5/mo plan and then.....

Can't read much without paying for it. And often what you are paying for is someone pumping their own product or service - for example, a comparison of trading bots where you find the one that wins is run by the guy that wrote the article, even though he never mentioned it. If you like paying for deceptive and opaque advertising methods, Medium is the best for that. Just imagine paying money to read something that is a sneaky advertisement. Does that make you happy? Then you need this.

Once your membership runs out it's unusable. For all intents and purposes, readers don't get 'no membership' functionality You lose access to member articles, which is fair. However, it's majority of your feed. The only signifier is a star under the title, so it's more work for me to search through all the articles to find the few that are readable. In order to make this usable is to suggest more readable articles, toggle visibility of member articles, or to add a feed of readable articles.

Many good features, but DANG! One that's very important to me just does not work. I am a paid-up member, and yet when I bookmark a story on my PC, that story is NOT available offline when I try to access it via this app in situations where I am offline (but had been online earlier). I double dare you to tell me why this feature does not work. Better yet, fix it! Broken in version 3.6.1000095
