Medium

Description

Medium is made for you: people who are genuinely curious about the world and your part in it. From opinion pieces to interviews to in-depth reportage, photography, and features, Medium stories take many shapes, but always leave you with greater insight into the world. Our app features a clean reading experience designed to let you focus on the story (without an ad in sight) wherever you are, from your commute to your couch. You can read a select number of stories for members each month for free — or subscribe for $5/month for unlimited access. HOMEPAGE: The sheer volume of information on the internet can get to be too much. So in our app, we curate stories based on your personal interests and our editors’ picks of the best of the day. COLLECTIONS: Our editors package the best stories on Medium into multi-part collections that you can binge-read or savor over time. You can explore expert columns, multi-author anthologies, comprehensive explainers, and our monthly magazine. READING: Our app is designed to let you focus on the words. Bookmark stories to your reading list. Join the conversation by writing a response. Clap for stories to show writers your appreciation. If there’s a particular passage that intrigues you, highlight it for posterity. MEMBERSHIP: With a free Medium account, you get access to all these features — including all free stories on Medium — plus a select number of stories for members per month (the ones with a star next to them). If you upgrade to become a Medium member, you’ll get unlimited access to everything Medium has to offer: the smartest and most ambitious stories from the sharpest writers on Medium, audio versions of popular stories, and more. All for $5/month or $50/year. WRITING: For writers, we know inspiration knows no bounds — you can compose a new story on the go and then switch easily to your tablet or computer without a hiccup. Your Medium membership will automatically renew each month, and you will be charged $4.99 through your iTunes account within 24-hours prior to the end of the current monthly cycle. You can turn off auto-renew at any time from your iTunes account settings up until 24-hours before the end of the current period, but refunds will not be provided for any unused portion of the term.

Money money

This is also making money

Better than any other news app

Amazing. I don’t know why but I actually like reading the news with this app.

Unclap

I don’t appreciate dark patterns for unclapping.

Not very intuitive

Keeps generating a cycle of asking for email, sending a validation email and then asking for email again. Wasting my time unfortunately.

It’s like r/politics moved to medium

I was subscribed but now it’s like every day my daily read is about the world coming to end and Donald trump is hitler reborn. I don’t care what you political status is but I signed up to read about engineering and development topics so why the hell is my daily read about liberal politics claiming the world is ending. I don’t want to read anything about this and specified I’m not interested but every day it’s the same thing. I unsubbed and deleted the app.

Pathetic in app payments; their objective is cash, not information

This app is absolutely absurd in how quickly they expect you to subscribe, especially considering most of the articles are posted from other sites for absolutely free. You can even see the banners of the embedded articles from third-party sites in the medium articles. I understand how they eventually will cut off free accounts until you upgrade, but so soon? Pathetic. I honestly wish half a star was available. Maybe a quarter of one. They do, after all, provide a correlated listing of valuable information. So zero stars wouldn’t be accurate.

Dangerous links

Why aren't links verified? How do you report scams? Would be a great platform but it needs to protect the end user better.

Daily read

Just a few interesting thoughts every day. Like snooping at a cocktail party of smart folks engaged in a good conversation. You want to hear more.

Found my love for writing again

This platform has made me realize how much I miss writing. It feels great to speak my mind and talk to people with a wide variety of viewpoints. Keep up the awesome work team!

Absolutely love!

I spend more time on Medium than any other app, or reading platform for that matter. LOVE Medium, have been a premium member for ages and a program partner since Jan. Only complaint- please fix the app! Even with the new update it’s laggy, buggy, freezes and crashes constantly. I abandon my reading out of frustration daily, 99% of the time. At least the app recalls where left off and picks back up in the right spot of said article, huge plus, that’s the only reason I haven’t come unglued. Please fix!!!
