Ratings and reviews

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.

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!

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.
