I have been using Medium since February 2022.

I am so happy I found this platform. Medium has given me a place to share my love for writing and photography and connected me with talented writers! Some of them are now my friends.

As much as I love Medium, there are a few things I wish Medium would change. Here are some things I would like to see.

Apply the listening tool on the app.

I am a busy individual. I want to catch up and read my friends’ articles.

I can’t always read them because I am busy getting ready for work, driving, etc. I have to access my phone’s browser to use the listen-to tool.

If I want to write a quick comment, I have to click the “open app,” but it doesn’t always take me to the article I was listening to.

I get annoyed and frustrated having to switch back and forth.

Allow us to draft, edit, and publish

I never saw that feature on the app when I joined, but I have read that this used to be a feature in the app.

Why take that fabulous option away? I use my desktop during the weekends, but I am always on the go during my work week.
