No text selection support, really?!?
I’m a paid Slate+ subscriber. I love the content, I love the podcasts, but I hate that this app won’t let you make text selection. What is this? If it’s unintentional, then it’s just sloppy. If it is intentional, then it’s stupid. Please fix this, and I will update my rating to a 5 star.
Installed app, icon doesn’t appear on launcher
I installed the app on my Apple TV, but the icon doesn’t appear in the launcher. I couldn’t find a way to launch the app.
Clean layout, easy to navigate.
I love Slate magazine and this app makes it easy to read on the go! Thanks!
Too slow
Loads too slowly. Erratic access to Slate Plus podcasts.
One of the worst apps ever
The menu to access your account page keeps disappearing on my very large iphone 14 plus. You need to go to that page to access and subscribe to Slate Plus ad free podcasts in iTunes . So after paying over a hundred bucks for Slate Plus, I cannot subscribe in iTunes because I can't get on the account page. There is supposedly a menu in the upper right to access my account, but it doesn't display on my phone, even when I make the font smaller. Another supposed option in the Slate Plus FAQS is to type in your cell phone number to get a link to subscribe. However, the keyboard to type in the number doesn't open when you click on the field to put it in. I can listen toPlus podcasts in the Slate app instead of iTunes, but there isn't a decent search feature to look for the podcasts I like. Customer service is only by email and the responses are never helpful.

Love Slate, hate the app
The app won't let me see comments. I'm a Slate plus member and have contacted the team about a year ago. Fix the glitch!
Problematic App
This app is consistently horrible and never improves despite many “bug fixes”. I pay for Slate Plus and the app makes me reconsider. Frequently the app just doesn’t update with new content for days, there are no comments and the search just doesn’t work. I’m not sure why it’s so bad, but it really does the content a disservice.

The worst
Never has the distance between how much I love the content of something and hate the delivery of it been as great as it is with Slate. This app is just the worst. Constant bugs, ads that pop up and cause issues every time you scroll past them, lack of updates, so on Sunday morning when you are most likely to want to spend time reading, it’s never a sure bet Slate will have new content. Comments are not enabled on the app, you can’t view them or make them. I also have issues with my account and the app every time I renew my sub which I don’t know why I keep doing.

Slate is great…the apps needs some work
Slate has great writing and journalist and podcast. This app should make them easier to find, sort, and know what is new in news and culture. But the app often just sends me to the website, loads the podcasts slowly, and it does not allow quickly searching for authors. Given how snappy competitors apps are…this looks like it’s got a way to do.

5 stars for content. Minus 4 stars for the app.
The Slate app is the Startac of iOS apps. It is a dinosaur that still lumbers about the earth, but only just. I pay for Slate Plus, which means getting multiple versions of podcasts in the podcast feed. Podcasts which aren’t supposed to have ads, have ads. Some of them. Consistency is hard to find. I love many of the podcasts here, and the Plus is worth it for the bonus content from Slate Money alone. I would just like to see Slate have an app which is even a tenth as good as their journalism and opinion.
