Slate is an amazing tool - the app? Not so much
Slate is a really powerful tool, and I love using it on my desktop. Unfortunately, the app is almost unusable. I am forced to re-login just about any time I click a link. It is great for checking guests in for events, but it’s impossible to do just about anything else. If anything, the app makes life as a recruiter even more difficult.Show lesscake.ninjak
Difficult to view certain items
Looking at the Rules Editor and other items it cut things off and hides items.aag607
Pure torture
There should be negative stars to rate this app as well as Slate in general. It is a waste of bytes and electrons. I get more user friendliness and efficiency using a terminal, no wait actually using a rock and another rock is also less frustrating! To the creators please look up UX and UI on Wikipedia, maybe you learn something.Show lessProf EP
Piece of crap, just like Slate
The phone app does not allow you to run a query and interact with applications. It just sends you in a circle or crashes. It is also more confusing and inept than the online Slate, which is quite an accomplishment. But it literally does not work. There is a way to make Slate work if you are a masochist, or have nothing but time to waste.Show lessOnce tired auntie
Horrible
My university is making faculty use this garbage to read applications. Does not work at all, not functional, crashes. Basically does not do what it claims to do.Anna1987644
Horrible for reading apps
Can’t load pages properly and loses track of where the pages are in space. Also jumps to the beginning of a tab when reader sheets are being filled out. Should be improved asap for readers!Catie M M
Just awful
Like everything else about slate. Stodgy, user-unfriedly, and ridiculous. Deadends everywhere.Cart539
Terrible App
The mobile app is slow; when used outside the country the security measures are extremely cumbersome. It is easy to enter into an endless loop between the website and the app itself. I have been using the app for more than a year; I keep hoping that it will be fixed, but no success. The interface itself has significant defects as well. In particular the user is given only a tiny box in which to put comments on an applicant, and there doesn’t seem to be any mechanism so that a given member of an admissions committee has access to the comments of other committee members. This works fine for “clear admits” and “clear declines” but not for the significant numbers who would benefit from committee discussion.
IF YOUR UNIVERSITY IS CONSIDERING ADOPTING SLATE I SUGGEST YOU DO ALL YOU CAN TO DISSUADE THEM! Any members of an active admissions committee who travel at all, particularly outside the US, will curse the application and the university officials who adopted it.Show lessdagantz
Slate is excellent. The app is pathetic.
The worst part about the Slate system is that the website on my phone routes me to the app.... which is terrible. So in effect, Slate would prefer that I not use the tool at all on a mobile device.Ralphzilch
Lovely App
This app is great even with the limitations of being on a mobile device. It allows me to check things out super quickly wherever I am. Also, iPhone X support within three days of release? Incredible. Keep up the good work!Toucanjake
