Ratings and reviews

I'm updating my review after having deleted their first terrible app and uploading this one. It's not much better, folks. It's just basically a watered down version of the web page. The app has no ability to play the games, watch the videos, or listen to the audio content. Its obviously not designed for a smaller screen, or easy navigation. Put a little effort into it, guys

I pay a premium for Slate. The app is dysfunctional. I am constantly asked to sign in mid article and then redirected to the front page or receive an error and have to restart my app. The podcast player is a joke you can hardly pause or rewind and can't see where you are. The search engine is just ads and doesn't find anything even if you search exactly the name of an article. It's so frustrating because I like Slate's journalism and entertainment, but I have such a hardtime accessing it.

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!
