What are users saying about Salon.com

U70%
by U####:

Today, clicking on story A brings up story C. Repeated attempts brought same erroneous result. Gave up and am going elsewhere.

Q70%
by Q####:

The text size in the comments section on my tablet is very small - maybe 5 or 6 point. Very small to read easily without a magnifying glass. It does not seem that the text size can be changed.

Y70%
by Y####:

What just happened? You updated the app and now it stinks. Keeps directing to the same article no matter which article I try to look at.

V70%
by V####:

The stories are stimulus for conversation but the app doesn't work very well. When selecting a story it often gives you a different story.

S70%
by S####:

I downloaded this app because I was tired of the desktop site constantly updating and forcing the browser to go back to the top of the page. Unfortunately the geniuses behind that idiocy probably had a hand in this app. Make the entire title of the article fit on the screen. I literally had to click on every article to see what it was about because the text cuts itself off. Will probably uninstall and just stick to buzzfeed as they know what they are doing.

R70%
by R####:

Great, interesting content but the navigation links sometimes open stories other than the one I am looking for.

Z70%
by Z####:

This rating is not so much for the app. but for Salon content. During this election season Salon has become such an extreme left dung heap as Limbaugh, Coulter, et al, is to the extreme right. Really tragic.

Z70%
by Z####:

The best of the "online tabloids." Far better than Huffington, AOL, Yahoo, Newsmax ewww, but still very sensationalist and gossipy. The app itself went to hell. The articles link to random content now. PRO TIP: Get over your hard on for bashing anything not leftist insane and learn how to make an app.

X70%
by X####:

Salon has great content, well worth reading, but this app makes it very hard to find that content. People have been complaining for months; why has the problem with the links not been fixed? UPDATE Just loaded the app on a Galaxy Tab S and it works fine. The links problem would seem to be platform-related. UPDATE 2: even on the tab s, some of the pages (politics, for one) have an off-by-one error in the indexing of the links. On the phone the indexing is just atrocious.

M70%
by M####:

Tap on one link and another random story comes up. Great articles when you can find them. Frustrating.

Z70%
by Z####:

Links don't work correctly. Cannot get to articles I want to read

C70%
by C####:

I have clicked on several stories and get directed to an entirely different article. New edit: incorrect links still exist. Don't get this app.

Z70%
by Z####:

I'm a long times fan of Salon. This App really does deserve all five stars, solely based upon the magazine's content, yet I could not compel myself to grant that final star. It's of my opinion, and only my opinion that this News & Entertainment App contain more news, breaking news, etc., and a "lil-bit" less of the blog or blog style articles; not to mention the Hollywood Star type of reporting...boo...yuck! I still, as a bleeding heart Progressive, LOVE this magazine and probably always will.

Z70%
by Z####:

Not very usable for my Sam 4 phone.Cannot read in landscape mode and I hate it in portrait. It is not my settings. Almost all other apps will rotate but not this one. I guess I will read Salon on my PC when I can

Z70%
by Z####:

Good site overall. I love the political writing. Occasionally some articles feel more like unedited blog posts due to the spelling and grammatical errors. Some days the links point to a completely different article...which is maddening.

Z70%
by Z####:

This app is dedicated to calling out Republican politicians and their supporters for telling lies and saying stupid things. It's not an app for deep analysis, but it's usually pretty interesting.

Z70%
by Z####:

Selecting an article brings up wrong one. Very frustrating.

Z70%
by Z####:

I love this publication. Insightful, well researched, thoughtful analysis, great writing. That pretty much sums it up for me

B70%
by B####:

Americans have such short memories.....it's so important to remind us how we really got to where we are. Thanks..

Z70%
by Z####:

When you click on a "teaser", you get an entirely different article than what you expected. Please fix this soon.

I70%
by I####:

Great writing. If you ascribe at all to progressive thinking its a no brainer and if you don't its even more essential.

J70%
by J####:

Rate the app as soon as u get it it will prompt you to rate it every time you open an article otherwise

Z70%
by Z####:

This has been going on for months...even after the update that fixed the comments. The blurbs on the main pages link to the article above or below them usually. Today they seem to be linking randomly and I can't even find the article!!!! This is the one of the worst news apps now, since it never seems to work 100 percent correctly...coupled with the fact that Salon used to be a very comprehensive and erudite news site, but it's become much more trashy and silly to be frank.

Q70%
by Q####:

You never know what article will pop up when you click on a link. And you often click on links because you can't make out the whole title.

Z70%
by Z####:

As others have mentioned, click on one article, get another. Using this app is like an article roulette. Fix it please!

Z70%
by Z####:

Brings up completely different story that I chose. Press story c and received story d.

Z70%
by Z####:

Great writing and opinions. Stuff you can't get anywhere else.

Z70%
by Z####:

My last 5 attempts to click the last 5 pieces I wanted to read connected to something else. Now anything I click connects to an Orange Was Not The New Black piece I read days ago. Come On!!!!! Someone's actually in charge of this, right!?!?!

Z70%
by Z####:

Having attempted to use this app multiple times over several days, I have found it quite frustrating. Clicking on an article (other than the main one) leads me to a completely different one. There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the article selection. It is not like they are just out of sync. Every article link leads to something completely different than what the headline states. In this day and age, not being able to correctly link to an article is unfathomable.

C70%
by C####:

Excellent E-Magazine! Left of centre, as it should be.

Z70%
by Z####:

For months now, I've found many Salon links on my Android bringing up the wrong stories. VERY frustrating!

R70%
by R####:

I like it because it's nice to read on the train from work and home.

Z70%
by Z####:

I don't watch TV and you're a very well selected source of information

M70%
by M####:

Swiping to the next article causes it link to the wrong article when go back out to the main title page and tap links. You then have to use app manager to force stop the app and clear the cache. Then it works but you should always access articles from the cover page and avoid swiping from an article to the next article.

N70%
by N####:

Videos sometimes don't work but I'm here for the content.

U70%
by U####:

When clicking on an article, you get another article that is not the one you clicked on. So you're left wondering where is the article that you chose...although the articles that I do read (not by my choosing)are very good

Z70%
by Z####:

Just downloaded to Galaxy 5, but it won't open any article. Will keep trying, there are things I'd like to read.

Z70%
by Z####:

Not your typical USA today type reporting..

Z70%
by Z####:

Tapping some articles leads to some other article...nothing matches. Please fix. Tired of uninstalling and re-installing.

Z70%
by Z####:

Each time I touch a link it takes me to an incorrect story. The content is great, but I can't access it. Please fix it.
