Apps that we like: Medium, reading stories

Download Medium

Welcome to Medium for iOS, a simple app that lets you read and write the stories that matter most to you.
Every day thousands of new voices publish their unique experiences, views, and reflections to Medium.com, creating the largest, most diverse collection of stories on the internet. With this app you have the cleanest, simplest way to discover them and create your own, wherever you are.

Why we like it:
• The long read form of writing and reading is not gone because of Twitter—it has to be re-invented; Medium is probably the best place now where to discover new content
• The app on iOS and on the web have a beautiful and simple interface.

As part of this major new release we are also introducing better Text Tools, improved Pinterest Import and Bigger Boards for Premium users to fit even more images, websites and texts on a single Board.
We are also making it easier to add content to a Board from your computer with the release of Save to Curator, our Safari Extension.

Share & Collaborate

You can now share a Board with anyone you want to work with. Send a Board to someone new via their email address, or simply select someone you already worked, and they will be able to see but not edit your Board. Or, invite others to collaborate on your Board. Any additions and changes will be instantly visible to all the participants. You can revoke access to a Board at any time.
