Can't Log In - The app hangs whenever I try to log in. Restarting reenables the app ... until you try to log in again. Sigh.

The app regularly has issues with notifications. Whenever a notification is sent regarding an article, the app doesn't open immediately to the article but normally to a list of articles that doesn't include the headline that caused the notification. l also wish there was a better search function to Slate's archive.

Doesn't have a search function on my Android phone. When I click on "comments", it first gives an error message. Clicking on it a second time brings up commenting, but with a cookies announcement that has to be approved for the 3000th time.

I keep a web link to the slate homepage on my phone, rather than use this app. The app is clunky. Also, I cannot open an article link from an email. I just got a message that says the app is out of date. But I have the newest app installed. I like slate, but not its Android app.

Love, love LOVE Slate as well as its app. As a subscriber, I'm happy that I am contributing to Slate's continued success. But, I'm not sure why when I open the app now that it comes up blank. Could this be due to the Feb 18 2025 update? Please note that I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and still see a blank screen.

Installed itself without my input. Should be marked malware.

Fix for Android! Does.not.work. At.all! would give zero stars if that were possible. I enjoy Slate's content... aggravated beyond belief I'm unable to enjoy it from my smartphone.
