I like the idea and love to explore. Yet the iOS app takes some minutes to be opened, and then I try to tap Sign in with Twitter but it doesn't respond.

@plugkingteam Hey, sorry to hear this and thanks for reporting the problem! Can you try to force quit the app and re-open it and let me know if it still doesn't work? The UI for the iOS app is just a WebView that is loaded over the internet. It sounds like maybe there was a server error or connection issue that caused the page to take a long time to load and the Javascript to never run.

@reallyjeff Still got the same problem on iOS. Tried to Create Account, using Chrome, but it takes forever to load...

@plugkingteam @reallyjeff I love this idea,but I found some problems in my sign up process(web), when I click get start, I can't use apple or twitter to sign up, and it doesn't respond, I can't type in , except the username.

Downloaded this after hearing the Product Hunt podcast episode and so far, I’m a fan! It is incentivizing helpful behavior and introducing me to perspectives outside my ordinary channels. I’ve only been using the app for a few weeks, but my main ask would be better tool tips and guidance. For example, it’s not clear how someone can become a scout. I would love to add articles into the mix. And theme or topic based reading lists would be really helpful, along with the ability to underline/highlight areas. So far, Readup does a great job helping people read with more attention, how can we give people tools to read with a critical lens as well? Keep it up!
