buggy, crashes, barely works when it works is laggy and slow. My guess, that it's b-cuz the app is harvesting Soo much data about me from my phone that it cannot even perform it's rudimentary functional utility as a text/document online host without using up soo much resources it causes my phone to struggle. I suppose that's simply the standard model of the modern world. Honestly it's one of the worst versions of the world we could potentially have and if pressured to rate the app, honestly 🚮🗑

people who don't have many people around to talk prefer writing and I am one of them and so I have been using this medium app for like last 3-4 months mostly for writing and I find it really helpful for writing my thoughts out now I am even amazed that medium even pays the writers for writing so I am looking forward to writing more often so I can make money out of my hobby as writing hehe but first I have become a member of this platform which I will thank you medium .

Android app will often refresh itself back to home page if I leave app running in background for more than a few hours. This causes me to lose the article I was reading, multiple times. partial workaround is to be sure to like or repost those long articles so you don't lose track of them permanently.
