Comments on S2 Slashdot for Android

★★★★☆ Christopher Soutar · Apr 19, 2019

Great app for reading slashdot stories, I like the option to switch day and night modes and the fact I can read offline. I wish though it would have the" from the dept of x" which is in the header of all articles.

★★★★☆ Jeff Clay · Jul 21, 2017

Everything works and looks great except one thing. For a while now (months), when you try to filter an article at 0 or above it gives the error "End of input at character 0 of". This happens regardless of the article you are trying to filter. All other filters seem to work as expected.

★★★★☆ Phillip Hellewell · Nov 28, 2018

I like it but the threshold setting doesn't work. I have to change it inside each story instead.

★★★★★ eBaab · Nov 4, 2021

Best app ever, been using since first version. Sadly some Android update has broken it on my Phablet. Still works on my phone.

★★☆☆☆ Ari Edelkind · Feb 18, 2017

There is certain basic functionality that I'd expect from any useful slashdot reader: ability to filter comments based on moderation rating (yes); offline caching (yes); view a comment thread, which is often necessary for context (no); way to remove articles I don't care about or am finished with, i.e. a kill filter (no). Any other features are gravy. To be fair, there is no slashdot reader available that does _not_ lack basic functionality by my standards. But lack of a better choice doesn't make this one useful.

★★☆☆☆ Thomas Edwards · Jan 5, 2017

Next/prev swipe too sensitive Every few times I try to scroll up or down the comments section, it triggers the next or previous article. There is far too little horizontal movement required to swipe between articles. For that reason I will not use this app until this issue is fixed
