Substack Reader is the app for reading newsletters and publications you follow, all in one place. When something goes wrong, this page collects user reports and shows which problems are appearing most often right now. Reports come from readers like you, so the picture updates as more people check in.
Substack Reader gathers the newsletters, podcasts, and posts from writers you subscribe to into a single reading app. It syncs with your Substack account, so your subscriptions and reading history follow you across devices. Common issues include the app freezing mid-scroll, slow loading, trouble signing in, and errors connecting to the server. Some problems follow an app update, while others point to a temporary service disruption on the network side. Before reporting, try closing and reopening the app, checking your internet connection, and confirming you have the latest version installed. If login fails, test your password on the Substack website. If the site works but the app does not, the issue is likely on the app side.
