Customer Reviews

Comments? (4 stars)
App is good, but are there any plans to add a comments section to the app? I miss the rowdy randomness of the comments on the website.

No comments? (2 stars)
From what I can tell, there is absolutely no way to read, much less add comments on the articles. Why not Slate?

Low-res (1 star)
It is absolutely unacceptable for slate to still use a low-res icon and imagery months after the retina display was added to the iPad. It makes Washington Post seem amateur - get your act together and update the resolution!
