No comments, buggy
Comment capability is non-existent on this app. For a publication that talks about being accessible and listening to it's readers, that's humble.
Less buggy than the previous version, video now works and Slate+ members can sign in (on the iPhone app, not on the iPad).
Slate gets high marks from me for it's writing, but the technology is still way behind.
