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.

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