I like the idea of the platform, the diversity of its content and the ideals of democratizing written content creation. This comes at the expense of article quality, which is overall, very medium (pun not intended). Articles tend to be longer than necessary, filled with annoying 1-sentence paragraphs, and generally shallow. There are of course exceptions, articles in the data science realm tend to be more thought-provoking. Not sure if I will remain a paying customer.

Content is good, app not so much. I've been using it for 10 minutes and already miss features like a simple link to comments, and searching for text in an article; both are available in a browser. Main screen should contain an icon for favorites/archived stories, not hidden in a menu which says "reading list". Also: no formatting in comments (tried that on a computer, can't even find how to edit a comment on the app)

I already pay for a subscription for Medium. Almost every time I open the app to read a member only article, I keep getting asked to upgrade to a higher level. This is a ridiculous and non-sensical thing to do, but I guess Medium does not care about how annoying this is for already paid customers. Other than that, I enjoy reading the articles that I am interested in.
