Reviews for Medium

Buggier and buggier. Every time I log in, I run into something else that isn’t working. Now after publishing stories and comments since August, I get an error message saying I need a verified email address in order to publish. That message sends me to my settings, where I have no option to re-verify anything; […]

I’ve had medium for a while on my phone (years) and it offers daily insight, reflection, reality, and so much more. I truly appreciate all that it has shared with me. I wish that I could get the membership or that they can increase the amount of free articles you can read in a month […]

First, let me say I absolutely adore the articles on medium. My criticism lies in the fact that I seem to have the same articles recommended to me more than once, and sometimes a long time after the first instance. Can’t recall if this is through the app or email digests, though. And in the […]

I just tried to draft two articles I have in mind. And I can’t. Why? They removed the ability to draft articles on mobile. How many people seriously spend all their writing time at a computer? Because I can’t manage that luxury! I’m in a PhD program and have a baby. When I have quick […]

I absolutely love the amount of content and information you can find in this app. All of the articles are high quality and great to read. The ONLY reason it doesn’t get 5 starts is because of the article limit each month with a free account. I understand they need some form of revenue, but […]

With my 3 free articles per month, I opened three of them. Had the tab open from end of one month to the next month, and hadn’t had a chance to read it when my computer restarted weather updates. When I went to open the article again, it was counted as 1/3 read for the […]

Having a slight issue on Pixel 3 XL when I’m reading an article. It seems to resist, in a sense, me scrolling down when I get closer to the end of an article. It’s kind of hard to explain but I hope they see and fix it. Phenomenal app otherwise! Love reading on here. Update: […]

I open a title while getting coffee or walking in the office, read a sentence or two, have to stop and actually work. An hour or two later I open the app again, 95%of the time I cannot find the same article twice so I just try to start reading whatever (title + a few […]

As an avid reader, I appreciate the short articles, approximate reading times, and links to similar articles available on Medium. I can get caught up on current events while waiting in line, or on hold for a call. The articles are not interrupted by annoying ads popping up and moving around the screen, so that […]

What a joke! 2 “free” articles then they want a $5/mo. subscription to keep reading. While I might be willing to sign up, 2 articles (the ones I read, based on their recommendations, were generic paid advertising-type) doesn’t provide enough information to make that commitment. Ideally they would have, at a minimum, a trial period […]

Unfortunately Medium practices the “annoy your user base until they pay you to stop” marketing tactic. Get a paid $50 / year membership. And then every time you open the app to read an article, you’re greeted with a pop up asking you to upgrade to a “friend of medium” membership of $150 / year. […]

I get that the whole point is for people to pay for what they like, and i fully support that. Maybe just allow 5 articles a month rather than three? I didnt read the reviews or anything before downloading. I just read a bit of medium on line and got excited when i saw the […]

Very easy to lose track of time while reading 🙂 *After reading a couple of bad reviews I’d like to add that I’d much rather pay a monthly subscription than be bogged down and distracted by ads. Some of the articles can be found for free on other sites and reference is made for those. […]

Medium is an important forum; one of the last bastions to find longer form content on a broad range of topics. I use it often. What’s baffling is how they underwhelm so badly on technology. For example, basic functionality such as the ability to search archives is missing. What is the point of saving 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
