Substack, an online subscription-based newsletter platform, has announced that it is launching Substack Reader, a new iOS reading app that will combine all users' Substack subscriptions into one space.
The new app aims to make the flow of reading and organizing one's Substack content smoother and more intuitive. In line with these goals, the app boasts a range of useful features, most notably, a new inbox system. Every time a writer creates a new post it will be automatically added to their follower's inbox, which will also serve as the app's homepage.
Meanwhile, for Substack writers, the app will make it easier for them to connect with their readers while also providing them a greater degree of control over their content and mailing lists.
