Thank you for these great new features and I especially wanted to say that the new Substack app for iOS is truly top-notch! Very well designed, the app functions beautifully. I also write on Medium and I wish the Medium app was as good as the Substack app!

Wow!

I especially admire the SPLENDID idea of presenting readers who have asked to cancel---the option to pause.

BRILLIANT!!!

I would love to see new features for adding sign up bonuses like ebooks, reports, email sequences, etc. to auto responder “Thank You” email

These are good developments. I have one question and one suggestion:

- When using the early-access feature for a podcast, I understand that when it is posted for subscribers-only it would go to their private feeds (such as in the Apple Podcasts app, for instance). When it is then opened for all subscribers, would it then be sent out to the public feeds at that time, in addition to free subscribers' emails?

- For the stock images, it would be great to have the option of adding one of those images for the social preview/title image, without having to have it somewhere in the body of the text.

Thanks!

Incredible product innovation occurring on Substack's interface, app and related tools. I notice these in real-time and as a user I have to say it's kind of a thrill! I'm always checking to see how many more reviews we got on the iOS app, it's incredible to be at the start of the Creator Economy with a platform that cares this much about its writers and creators.

A lot of these new features and upgrades and enhancement are impactful on both the reader and writer side.

The 'subscription pause' addition is fantastic. Great psychology. THANK YOU!

These are awesome. The stock photos will really come in handy because you’ve basically gone ahead and cut out a couple steps from what I already do.

Another critical tool needed on the dashboard is Calendar. this would be helpful in listing book events on a blog or newsletter. Please consider this asap. Thanks for your consideration.

Has anyone tried the Early Access feature? If so, how is it going? Also: how long are you waiting to unlock a post?

I love the search image and the activity feature.These features not only help writers to create a polished product but also increases the connection with the readers through the activities.

I really appreciate the Activity and Reader features on the website since I don’t always want to switch to another device to use the app when I am already on my iMac. It makes the website similar to the app. And it is much easier to type (respond to comments) on my iMac than an iPad or iPhone.

I've been using the Unsplash add image for years on Medium. It's really nice to see that Substack is making it easier to use the same.

Thanks for the updates!
