Until only a couple of months ago, the iOS app required you to click through each creator to see their posts only. There was no central news feed like the website and the most obvious way to consume such content.

They -finally- fixed this about two months ago.

Deep linking also often failed for me, i.e. I got a push notificaiton, I click the notification, and I end up on the first creator in my list's news feed rather than what I clicked. That also seems finally fixed now in the same update.

So I'm glad they fixed it but I have no idea what they were doing for the last few years...

I realise they can't/don't want new revenue on iOS due to not being able to use their own billing system for electronic goods and losing a chunk of the revenue but I'm sure they have many people who use the website but want push notifications to work and to read the news there.. it was bonkers.
