  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

    I just upgraded, but found it will not display in landscape mode on my iPad. Nothing in my settings will fix it.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
