It's been years, and the audio player is at least more stable, but STILL can't queue articles. I have an hour long commute and if I want to listen the whole time, I have to pull out my phone every 5-8 min and browse. It's intensely frustrating to have two free hours a day and a nearly unlimited supply of things to listen to, only to trip over the carelessness of developers who couldn't be bothered to add the 3rd-simplest feature an audio player could have (which worked on iPhone on day one).

I really like what substack is about and what they are trying to do but one major problem makes it almost unusable for me. I like to listen to long form articles and podcast. When I start on my andriod phone, then swich to android auto, it should remember where I left off, like every other major streaming app but it doesn't. Every time, it wants to start me from the beginning. The same is true when I switch to my ipad.

I stay for the quality of writing. Three things in particular bother me about the app: 1) that you can't save notes the way you can save posts 2) that when you open the app by clicking on a notification it doesn't stay open in the background if you leave the app. I'm constantly having to reopen the app and try to find what I was in the middle of reading all over again. 3) that there is no general navigation on every screen so I have to press the back arrow several times to get home
