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.

★★★★★ Shekar Mania · Sep 5, 2018

I love the content. Please update the UI because it is not readable. As the content of the app is mainly reading stuff, Put an effort for UX. And when I'm scrolling through an article, it's switching to previous article, I don't know why that is happening but it is so frustrating. Add a search bar too. It really helps.

★★★★★ Shamus Connor · Jul 6, 2022

Could use an update. And the ability to go back more than 100 articles.

★★★★☆ A Google user · Feb 28, 2018

Works great except for one bug. If I set threshold to +1 or higher in the general settings, then click on a story, press the top right icon and select '0 and above' the app crashes. If threshold is 0 in general settings all storys load fine. Oneplus 5. OxygenOS 5.0.4 (Android 8.0.0)

★★☆☆☆ 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

★★☆☆☆ 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.
