I cannot believe a platform of this stature has a UI that doesn't allow you to view your account details, log in and out, change your password, or a laundry list of other basic features that literally every single app is supposed to have. especially ones you're giving money to. I just want to log in with another email address. I have to totally remove the app and re-install it in order to log back in. Absolutely pathetic.

Substack push the app hard but the app makes it hard to see your subscriptions without pushing lots of dross. At least improve your recommendation algorithm if you are going to do that, I'm drowning in 💩. If I do mark something as 'show less of this' I lose my place and have to scroll all the way back past the same posts again. It's sometimes a bit slow too. I use it only because a few writers I like are on the platform.

Please! Please! Let us turn off emails for individual subscriptions! What the poing of having an app if you are forced to receive emails anyway? I only want to receive emails for my paid subscription, I don't want to unfollow my other subscriptions, but I don't want get spammed with so many emails. It is truly mind-boggling this isn't an option in the app.
