| 2024-11-16 |  | | Solid news grateful to have found your app. |
| 2024-10-04 |  | | 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? |
| 2024-04-16 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-03-14 |  | | I love Slate, but their app is a hot mess and it's only getting worse. Started crashing constantly a few weeks ago, and now the home page is stuck with the same content from several days ago. I finally uninstalled it today. I'll have to go directly to the website to read their content. SAD! |
| 2024-02-15 |  | | Worked for a while, but has been stuck on last week's headlines. If I click on "recent" I can see the new stuff but the home screen doesn't update. |
| 2023-07-20 |  | | I love slate, but this app isn't even usable. It's used to work just fine, even if it was just a basic iframe of the website. Now when I open it, it's blank, except for a header at the top. Uninstall/reinstall, force stopping, clearing cache...nothing seems to make this app work. A subscription is so expensive, the least that can be expected is a functional app. |
| 2023-05-17 |  | | One extra star because I do enjoy some of the content, but this app is barely functional. When clicking on a link to another story in the app, it instead opens in Chrome (and prompts a sign in). Almost every time I open it, it asks me to approve cookies. It send me push alerts but when I click on them nothing happens. Searching is difficult. Do better Slate! |
| 2023-05-01 |  | | Well, the new app is always completely blank. It send me notifications, but if I open it, nothing. Just the "Slate" heading and a bunch of unclickable white space underneath. Edited: I reinstalled and chose "accept all cookies" even though I don't want your damn cookies. The app now works. One star for giving me a "choice" of either options I don't want or a completely unusable app. Three stars for the content after you lost most of the best writers. Average it out to two. |
| 2022-07-24 |  | | I don't know if it's because I've moved from iPhone to android or from US to Europe but what was an OK app has turned into what seems to be a very mediocre mobile version of the site rather than a proper app. I'm cancelling my subscription. |
| 2022-07-15 |  | | Slow and kludgy. After reading a few articles, the app seems to "lock up," it won't change screens, and it goes blank. It can't seem to keep up with itself. I enjoy Slate content, but I'm much better off on my laptop than on this disappointment of an app. |
