Solid news grateful to have found your app.

Well I was having problems getting kicked out of the app occasionally. So I uninstalled and reinstalled. About 8 times. The app now just comes up with a Slate cover, then a blank white screen. Nothing. I don't get it, why can't Slate build an app?

Fix for Android! Does.not.work. At.all! would give zero stars if that were possible. I enjoy Slate's content... aggravated beyond belief I'm unable to enjoy it from my smartphone.
