Slate.com for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great articlesIt seems that the article authors write from a very balanced point of view. Makes for honest writing with a tinge of positive vulnerability..Version: 5.6.6
✓ GreatGreat.Version: 4.4.2
✓ Always IntriguedThe slate app icon is like a homing beacon for my curiosity. I can click it and I might get an advise column about a 76 year old divorcee that is lusting after her pool boy, or great interview with the mother of an asylum seeker that is stuck in Mexico awaiting a hearing. There is always something to learn, something to enjoy, or something to ponder. I love it!!.Version: 5.4
✓ Unable to access slate plusLike many others, I have been unable to access slate plus content since joining. I have emailed support twice and after a few days, I was sent instructions which were not applicable or did not work. I will be cancelling my subscription..Version: 5.3.15

✓ Logie49Good app for up to date well written stories.Version: 5.1.6
✓ An excellent way to enjoy SlateI use this app most days if I have a few minutes to burn..Version: 3.3.2
✓ App does not let me sign inI’m a paying subscriber who loves Slate content, but the iOS app continually “forgets” my login and bars me from reading stories. Often I can’t even get to the sign in screen. When I do, I have to keep producing my password because it is not cached. This is an awful user experience that needs to be fixed..Version: 5.6.2
✓ If you like the site, you'll like the AppA great view of reading slate on iOS devices. A more powerful search fiction is the main fault but otherwise a great app..Version: 2.1

✓ Slate is topsBalance smart and funny this well and you'll never be alone....Version: 2.1
✓ Great appEasy way to access Slate articles on phone and iPad..Version: 4.2.3
✓ Decent AppI love Slate and have had their app for some time. This is the best version. They have fixed the problems with the app crashing. And the content seems to be the same as is available on the website. My only quibble and the reason I didn't give it a 5 is that some articles don't seem to have a link back to the home page, so you get stuck in the articles that are linked to the one you selected. But I am seeing that less and less..Version: 3.3.2
✓ No problemsApp works well, interesting articles..Version: 2.1
✓ My favourite news sourceSlate is my favourite news source and I love using the app to get news on the go. The app is easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing..Version: 5.1.7
✓ Always interestingContent and app of similar high quality and clarity..Version: 4.4.0
✓ Great!!Amazing source of informative News and stories, and app very well implemented..Version: 2.1
✓ The first news source I checkGood coverage on the stories I need to know..Version: 4.2.3
✓ Excellent app!Almost rivals the Guardian app, an update would be nice to increase the upload times and a few more categories to increase content but well worth the money..Version: 0
✓ Paywall even for subscribersI have loved slate and have been a plus member for years. Recently I am unable to read any articles as a paywall comes up, even though I should be signed in. I can’t even hit the link to sign in on this wall as the link doesn’t work. I have emailed the company and their only answer is that they know this is a problem but have no idea if or when it will be fixed. Sorry. I will cancel that membership now. Geez, get your act together!! Higher some new tech people. How many people will you loose over this???.Version: 5.6.3
✓ Great app, nicer than the website of course.Slate Podcasts are king though!.Version: 5.1.5
✓ Great content, not such a great designSlate is essential for US news and analysis, and I check it countless times a day. The app could do with a simpler design though. The Salon app is a good example of how to do it well..Version: 3.3.2
✓ Comprehensive and exhaustive.I don't read anything else..Version: 4.2.1
✓ HandyAn easy way to access great articles on US politics, the arts, science, and technology..Version: 2.1
✓ Free essential appTechnically weel done, no glitch no problem. Good writing. And news by people who use their brain. A good information source on USA for people outside (Canada) who want to understand this weird nation 😏. Thanks Slate..Version: 5.1.4
✓ Decent article driven news appInteresting articles that are refreshed very regularly. If you like opinion pieces on US news items it's worth checking out..Version: 2.1
✓ Easy to use, and great access to content.I love the layout of the app as it leads to me meandering through the news, rather than looking for targeted stories. The only criticism is that Slate Plus content should be better identified..Version: 4.4.0
✓ Best news app I've usedSuper awesome just like Kurt Russell.Version: 4.2.1
✓ It is goodI like it.Version: 2.1
✓ Fantastic appAlways great coverage.Version: 2.1
✓ Podcast to written wordFrom Australia I first encountered Slate with the podcast Political Gabfest, a favourite weekly gem. Then Slow Burn, I consider the best ever Podcast, backed by brilliant research. Just new the written word. Slate has the authenticity and fearless independence usually only seen in outstanding public broadcasters..Version: 5.3.12
✓ Great appThe mobile website is quite difficult to use but this app is very slick, login is smooth and all round a pleasure to use - much better way to get Slate content.Version: 4.0.5
✓ SlateExcellent a must visit on a daily basis.Version: 2.1
✓ I love SlateTerrific coverage of news both great and small. Entertaining and thoughtful. Above all, I love Prudie..Version: 2.1
✓ First rate appI have no complaints about this app . I read it regularly here in Australia and have experienced no problems at all . Great writers, great content . Well done everyone ! OzNana.Version: 2.1
✓ I miss the free articlesSlate has only gotten better over the years except that it’s become so paywalled. Is this the price of progress?.Version: 5.6.1
✓ App crashes randomly every few minutesI really like this app but it crashes every few minutes. Please fix it!.Version: 5.3.24
✓ Please note the podcasts. Good content and interface.Please mark which articles are audio only (podcasts) with an icon, similar to the way you mark the content that is Slate Plus. I really enjoy Slate’ writing and mix of subject matter. The mobile app is solid and one of my go-to apps. Unfortunately, I don’t normally have the opportunity to listen to your audio content. I often click through an intriguing title in your mobile app only to find the content I had hoped to read is audio. I wish I could listen to all of your trenchant analysis, but I can only read it. Please help me know which is which before I click through. Thanks for considering my suggestion..Version: 5.3.15
✓ Great source of balanced newsFinally I can access slate news easily, great app, meets my needs.Version: 2.1
✓ Informative, insightfulSlate provides thoughtful, well-written commentaries on current events and a miscellany of topics. It focuses on US politics from a liberal, progressive perspective. I love Slate's podcast roster, esp. Mike Pesca's "Gist"..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Great news appThe Slate app works perfectly, no problems. Content is great & more necessary than ever since the election..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Tech issues w subscriptionI subscribed so I could enjoy more episodes - the content is fabulous. But I lost access to that extra content after maybe a month, for no reason I can follow. I tried everything they recommend - tried using a range of listening platforms to no avail. Spent about 40$ to listen to about an hour and then lost that time and more to trouble shooting..Version: 5.3.15
✓ No search functionGenre at content, but why is there no easy search function built into the app?.Version: 5.6.8
✓ Great news sourceWell-balanced articles. I like the format of the app too..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Get this appThis is, in short, a top-quality news app. Don't buy it simply for it's purply colour, pleasing to the eye as it may be. Buy it for the quality of its content. This app proves the old cliche that 'you learn something new every day'. Be a sport. Download this bad boy..Version: 3.3.2
✓ Fine, but can we have complete sentences please?The app works fine but on iPad every article thumbnail shows a fragment of a sentence - irritating!.Version: 5.3.6
✓ Clean layout, easy to navigate.I love Slate magazine and this app makes it easy to read on the go! Thanks!.Version: 6.0.3
✓ Doesn’t work since update.The login function in the app is broken. I can still login just fine on the Internet using Safari on my phone, but I can’t login to the app. Just get a blank screen or an error message when I click login. Incompetent developers..Version: 5.6.2
✓ GoodGood content, can you allow it to bump up the font?.Version: 4.4.1
✓ InformativeInformative, functional, user-friendly interface. Content is excellent if it's Americana you seek..Version: 2.1
✓ Keep reading and listeningExcellent app, great insight and real news! Congrats on doing an important job well.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Love it!Easy to use app, always something interesting to read, no functionality issues for me..Version: 3.3.2
✓ A great news source with fabulous podcastsSlate is a great news source with tightly written articles across a broad range of subjects. Great range of podcasts..Version: 4.2.1
✓ I can't see anything, white screen onlyAfter updating the app on Thursday 12 April, the app still doesn't work, it's just a white screen on every page..Version: 5.3.5
✓ Much better appDoes need automatic background download of articles otherwise it's annoying to wait for each article. See nytimes of how to do it really well..Version: 4.2.2
✓ Quite goodRange of well written articles. Sometimes the articles are slow to load but I'm willing to continue using it whilst awaiting further updates which will hopefully improve performance..Version: 2.0.4
✓ My fave appI love all things Slate - Jacob, Mike, Virginia and everyone else. You keep me informed, entertained and hopeful. Thank you. Ed.Version: 5.1.6
✓ First class resourceOne of my favourite 'go-to' sites for intelligent commentary and insight. Highly recommended..Version: 4.2.2
✓ Love Slate, app could be improvedI'm an avid reader of Slate, one of the best emags out there. But this app has been extremely glitchy on my iPhone 4s, crashing at least twice before having some kind of stability. Please fix!.Version: 2.1
✓ Slate Plus - no benefit at allI do not get full versions of Slate Plus podcasts. I have tried all the “fixes”, uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, done everything suggested but still only get the free version of episodes. Sorry I paid for this as there is no benefit..Version: 5.3.15
✓ Easy to useEasy to use app. No problems..Version: 2.1
✓ Battery usageLove this app except for the past couple weeks it has begun to decimate the battery, going down 10% over the time it takes to read one article (under 5 minutes). I’m using an iPhone SE ... wondering if this is happening for anyone else? Great app otherwise:).Version: 5.3.15
✓ Excellent journalism; bad time for paywallIt’s a great site with sharp writers, good politics, plenty of human interest pieces and a taste for the contrarian. It should not erect a paywall on March 26, 2020 thereby losing long-time readers and alienating or blocking people who, with time on their hands, could stumble on its good Covid-19 coverage and form the Slate habit. It’s a tough time to pony up $35 for a nice but non-essential expense..Version: 5.3.24
✓ Interesting stuffGood articles. Home page lay out is a bit unfriendly..Version: 2.1
✓ Good fix on us newsSeems pretty reasonable.Version: 5.1.6
✓ Search freezes the app.I love Slate and I’m a member, but this app drives me crazy. Every time I try to use the search function, it freezes. I get stuck in the search results and unable to view anything else. Each time I have to delete the app and reinstall it. It’s so annoying— just fix it!.Version: 5.3.20
✓ Excellent all round siteI heartily recommend Slate, for its varied content and wonderful roster of writers. Insightful, engaging commentary, and a tremendous collection of podcasts. I subscribe to Slate Plus as well, and really enjoy the extras that come with it, especially the bonus podcast content..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Downloaded from the Dear Prudence column only!Love it!!!.Version: 2.1
✓ My pennyNever fail to find something interesting & informative. Ditto the flip side of the coin, unfortunately. But, part of my daily read, and if Slate disappeared, I would miss it almost as much as I'd miss my cat..Version: 5.3
✓ Love itFantastic app.Version: 2.1
✓ One of my go to sitesI am a fan of the political gabfest and trumpcast and have come to value many of the slate writers..Version: 5.0.2
