Add search. -- Wordgrump, 2024-12-01 ### *---- "My neck hurts. Why no landscape mode?" Longtime Slate Plus member here. You’ve got to be kidding? On the iPad this app can’t rotate to landscape mode? I use my iPad Pro ~90% on the Magic Keyboard and in landscape. Hopefully this is all a big mistake. I’m going to go put a hot compress on my neck. -- bob.os, 2024-11-14 ### ***-- "Like the content ipad app is poor" I just would like to read the content horizontally on my ipad. It’s very frustrating because I think it’s built for the iphone. Also, would like to be able to control the appearance - size of font etc. You can do better, it’s 2024! -- Ruthykr, 2024-11-04 ### *---- "Absolutely the worst. At least it was expensive." Nothing works in this app. Podcasts won’t link to players. My paid slate plus subscription isn’t honored. I sent a help request 6 days ago with no response. All I wanted was Amicus, and now I’m dealing with this massive annoyance. I reported this app to Apple as fraudulent. If you’ve paid for and not received slate plus, you should too. Do yourself a favor, and stay well away from this dumpster fire. -- Bare Bear, 2024-05-31 ### **--- "“Recent” crashes" I love the last format update of the Slate app, and as a Slate+ subscriber I tend to keep up with articles, so Recent is a great option to find what I haven’t already read. However, with th last update, going to Recent crashes the app for me as it’s loading the headlines. Otherwise I would be very pleased, this crash is very disappointing. -- No “Recent”, 2024-03-19 ### *---- "Unusable. Video ads run constantly in middle of articles!" Slate is a great magazine, with good political and social analysis. However, the app is unusable. In the middle of every article are adverts that are in motion. They are visually distracting. They are Google ads and have a minuscule close “x” that doesn’t work. But even if they did, that’s not a solution. One does not want to have close *every* manually. Plus, the close buttons are so tiny, one risks tapping in the advert and passing over private data through their intrusive tracking. No thanks, Slate! You’ve blown it with this approach. -- AstroPaul, 2024-03-19 ### *---- "Paid for Slate+ for this useless app" I fell prey to the incessant ads on Slate podcasts and sprung fora subscription. I have yet to find how to listen to pods ad-free and keep hitting a pay way when I try to read articles. I'm glad it was a trial because I just canceled. Good luck getting support. -- Anthony Wilson, 2023-12-09 ### *---- "No Landscape Mode" I just upgraded, but found it will not display in landscape mode on my iPad. Nothing in my settings will fix it. -- cw45743679865, 2023-09-21 ### *---- "Bad app, takes your money and then gives you nothing" You don’t get the sub you paid for. If you try to contact support you get ignored. You may be a loyal customer. they don’t care. -- McCrae o' the woods, 2023-09-08 ### *---- "New mobile app - not great" Slate is one of my favorite sites and I have been a subscriber for years. Sadly I am considering canceling my subscription as the newest version of the mobile app is horrible. Bad visuals, hard to navigate, set default not to my liking. -- Cookies##9090, 2023-08-27 ### *---- "3 months and counting - doesn’t recognize SlatePlus subscription" I have a SlatePlus subscription, but for over 3 months now, it does not recognize it and tells me I need to subscribe to read articles. I’ve been patiently waiting for for this to be fixed, but nothing. To say I’m frustrated is a huge understatement! -- KPN97, 2023-06-28 ### ***** "Landscape mode for iPads, please" Long time Slate reader and Slate+ subscriber. I still use my green and purple patterned mug. Please bring back landscape mode for the iPad. That’s not a corner to cut. I enjoy Slate a lot less since the new app rolled out. Please consider bringing it back, soon, in a new version. -- bnorman, 2023-06-07 ### *---- "Paid for 3 month trial and can’t read anything" Paid $15 for 3 month trial yet can’t actually read anything because I am still getting a paywall. -- jacktasia, 2023-06-01 ### **--- "I prefer landscape mode!" I enjoy Slate content, but the new version insists on showing it exclusively in portrait mode on my iPad. Not a fan! Gove me the option of using my device the way I prefer. -- NMADavidB, 2023-05-23 ### *---- "New app is horrible" I just canceled my $60 annual subscription (which was too expensive anyway) because the new app only lets you read in portrait mode on an iPad. What genius made that decision? I do everything in landscape, because it’s convenient and, gee, the way the Apple iPad keyboard accessories position the device. Until Slate fixes this egregiously stupid decision to force people to physically hold the iPad to use the app, bye bye. -- Stonesfan4, 2023-04-24 ### *---- "Update more like Letdown amirite" Cringe review title aside, this app is annoying. - no search option??? Or at least easily accessible one - limited amount of articles you can access without trying to navigate through recent articles like a webring of days gone by. If I have unlimited access to articles, why can’t I scroll down further to catch up on things I may have missed? This has always bothered me - no rotating to landscape anymore - the ads are new, and seriously make me forget I’m using an app vs just a browser - why am I paying for slate plus if the app now has ads and I can’t easily access all the articles from the app? - seriously, whoever decided on this update needs to be fired. Uninstalling and returning to browser-based reading, which is annoying but at least ACTUALLY unlimited -- Antler Queen K, 2023-04-22 ### *---- "Good content, bad app" This app has the worst functionality - from sign-in, to search, to content viewing. I also joined so I could have access to all podcasts, which should become avail to me in other (better) podcast apps but I have to instead dig through the Slate app to listen. All very frustrating! -- expat_living, 2023-04-15 ### ***-- "More ads, less content" Content is more difficult to find in the new version. Ads are everywhere. The only positive aspect is that they’ve weaned me off my slate habit with this terrible interface. -- gallusman, 2023-04-14 ### **--- "What, no landscape mode?" The app is not designed for iPad, no longer supports landscape mode, so it doesn’t work for me. Such a waste of excellent content. Hate to give up Slate+, but can’t support IT mediocrity in 2023. Hey Slate IT, why don’t you just ask a ChatBox how to do it? -- LouDog206, 2023-04-14 [View all Slate.com reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Slate.com In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Slate Plus | $119.00 | ## Slate.com Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Grossing | Portugal | News | #80 | | Top Grossing | Colombia | News | #97 | | Top Free | Singapore | News | #182 | | Top Free | Canada | News | #228 | | Top Free | Kuwait | News | #234 | | Top Free | Ireland | News | #314 | | Top Free | Australia | News | #380 | | Top Free | Philippines | News | #395 | | Top Free | Pakistan | News | #416 | | Top Free | South Africa | News | #420 | | Top Free | New Zealand | News | #422 | | Top Free | Peru | News | #425 | | Top Free | Greece | News | #436 | | Top Free | Switzerland | News | #439 | | Top Free | Chile | News | #441 | | Top Free | Finland | News | #444 | | Top Free | France | News | #465 | | Top Free | Lebanon | News | #472 | ## Slate.com Discovered Keywords -
