Would be stars but some categories not updating on iPad as they should                 Top news site dlb4jp
I feel dumb just reading it     So transparently biased Loapip18479
I ve read your articles for quite awhile recently installed the app The writers put a good left handed swing on things keep up the good work we need the pot to be stirred Only drawback is that news isn t always fresh and some grammatical errors may make it seem not as believable at times                     Good stories Joszmudka
I understand the election is near but Salon s team of writers have found nothing interesting enough in the entire world that deserves attention besides Donald Trump Talented as the staff may be their utter disregard for all current events that don t surround Donald Trump is very disappointing             Trump trump trump J Wade A-wade
I feel like they recycle a lot of their stories by just republishing them with a new title and image They don t even bother trying to keep their most read articles up to date Or maybe their read articles are the most read because that is all they have to read         Stories don t update Damnitvan
Search is a critical function for a news app The search function does not appear to work I searched for Clinton No results I searched for Bob Dylan No results I searched Malala Yousafzai No results     Search does not work Dedwarmo
I really enjoy reading the articles I ve been reading Salon for years I am more than a little tired of seeing Ann Coulters face everytime I open the app though The most read stories have remained the same since June Unfortunately the most read story at the time was a story about her defending Trump as not being a racist That got old a long time ago If you could correct this I would gladly give you 5 stars         Good news app bad optics Debowozoe
Great content good app             Fix the most read section Polandexpat
I mostly love the content but the big space taken up by Most Read is so annoying because it never refreshes Please either fix or remove it             Most read refresh mizzimbra
The most read section sticks on day s most read from installation or last update Very annoying as dynamic most read would make for better experience Rarely check this app         Most Read from months ago Chi---city
Not a bad app but for some reason the Front Page Most Read section has been stuck on the same set of story links and their accompanying images for the last six months Maybe more I ve reinstalled the app and the problem remains uncorrected with the update Not sure what s causing the problem on Salon s mobile site it does not show up on the regular website             Okay but what s with the Most Read link section CJ Wolfe
I don t think Salon reads the reviews and possibly don t care Yes you have great articles and reporting but all that is overshadowed by when your mobile site crashes and your app has to be relaunched Get with the 21st century Salon     Could be better Cocaineblues10
I enjoy the long form articles and visit often Why has an article about Leonardo DiCaprio s Rimi movie been on my most read banner for months             Good Crz018
Inaccurate Authors are so one sided Not reliable at ALL Probably trying to see how big of a lie they can tell and see if people are dumb enough to believe it Delete it immediately     Horrible Rame0127
I love this app giving 4 stars BUT I d gladly give it 5 stars if they fixed ONE thing I ve just read a story so I scroll back up to top looking for arrow in top left corner that s basically the back button to get me back to section I got story from but sometimes it s not there and I ve tried all kinds of things to make it appear on my iPhone 6 but most of time it doesn t appear so I close app double click on what I have open and delete open apps then go back to Salon Hope above makes sense but Cliffnotes version is make the back arrow automatically appear when scrolling back up to top of page                 Great news app but Thedoctordave
I love reading Salon Your articles tend to reflect my sympathies My only concern is grammatical errors of which I ve come across several of late Newspapers have these errors all the time the Atlantic does not I hope that your publication would strive towards that standard and save me the pains of digesting fast journalism                     Great with a little ouch Farina43537
The content is often good but some of the columnists are off the deep end The app is buggy new articles appear first but after tapping load more you get a mix of second level recent articles and stuff from two months ago         Mixed Bag JRMlaw
This is literally worse than a high school newspaper No offense to the highschoolers     What an Abortion Newbie jones
Great way to get a selection of the news of the day                     Love timujin1008
Excellent writing Enjoy the stories Salon has been my raft in a sea of poor journalism Only problem is with short pieces that end with a video There s no link to click iPhone 5                     Nice app I8amnm
Very low quality far left fringe content     Really low quality content ArpitChauhan
This app should be discontinued Glaring problems from years ago persist update after update Today s insult This 2nd to last update no longer hides the giant SALON logo at the top when scrolling down an article Yay Less room for content more branding I guess since this new feature survived through 2 releases we re stuck with it Thanks     Never improves ever cftc
This version is DEAD ON ARRIVAL No articles display only text placeholders Remove the app and re install to recover from this faulty update                 DOA RELEASE REQUIRES RE INSTALLING orvalle
Bazinga                     Great app dalelee57
The content is fine would have given more stars just based on that Everyone can find a writer to love and one to hate on a given day Functionality is not great First as noted by others the app had to be deleted and reinstalled to work after a previous update Now every time I open Salon it s reverted to the smallest text size requiring a trip to Settings over and over Pain in the         Annoying little issues SF Lefty
Selecting ANY story item the APP CLOSES BOMBS started today     App is BOMBING jdstone
Yeah yeah I know delete and reinstall But I expect to have to do stuff like that on a Windows PC not an iPhone Maybe don t break the app in the first place     No data pjbrad
Settings like text size are not saved permanently Sometimes lost between sessions Sometimes lost only if app crashes Oh app crashes Auto disappearance of button sometimes fails as you scroll down It remains sitting at the top Worse auto reappearance of sometimes fails when you scroll up as it used to in very old versions of this app I found the only way to get back is to load a link to some other story then hit and then again as the back button reappears I m not using any new features I only know basic functionality is now very unreliable The basic program has become unstable Salon has never been usable on iOS Safari It hangs then reloads This app is all site readers have Sad     I reinstalled Many bugs Professor Media
Hopefully this will help to offset the one stars You re not the only app to get bitten by this bug in App Store submissions                     Here s a fiver Curbhalb
Get rid of ugly head shots Articles not bad huuuge photos need to go         Get rid of ugly head shots mitzlet
Thank you for your reports We re aware of the missing content issue and are working to release a new version of the app with a fix right away In the meantime if you delete and re install the app it should work correctly                     UPDATE FROM SALON Salonfan
Salon has long been my favorite website The first 40 minutes of my day are spent browsing it in bed before I do anything else I appreciate all of the writers different perspectives and Salon s attention to detail when it comes to non political events such as the passing of Phife I have dozens of accolades and one critique Today I opened the app and the first 7 or 8 headlines had Trump s name in them I ve often read on Salon about the over saturated media coverage of Trump and how it fuels his campaign Even though these articles are constructive and need to be written it s becoming a pattern of nothing but Trump pieces as the first handful of articles I see on the Salon app It s too much Trump Please don t fall in line with the rest of the media Other than that you guys are amazing I m thankful Salon and its talented writers exist                     Too much Trump All else is perfect Ani gza
Not sure why the update of the Salon app killed the program and why there s no info on the App Store or within the app on what s wrong or how to fix it But simply deleting and reinstalling the app works fine Salon should be doing a much better job managing this and communicating what and how they screwed up But at least it DOES work                 Just reinstall and all s fine MikeK2008
Silly people don t know to delete and re download yet they somehow know to write a stupid and useless review The app works just fine and is the same Salon ey goodness if you just delete and re download                     LOL Dumb reviewers revoltaire
Delete the non working ap and reinstall from Apple Ap store Strange way to do an update but mine works now             Just Reinstall Ap Pkcarreon
Did you test this little disaster Come on Nothing loads Worthless update                 Ok You have to reinstall and then it works Martinez 66
Whoever wrote the update for this app should not be allowed to write code solo     Last update was a down grade 6283belle
For four days the app has been blank I have restarted but no luck Maybe they could fix this     Salon app doesn t work Phleb3
The app is now completely nonfunctional showing nothing but NODATA     WORST UPDATE YOU VE EVER DONE BobRinMidtown
FIX IT     Update Mamanbear
Since the latest update Salon app displays no titles text or image except for banner ads at bottom of screen     Non functioning useless Hofner Bassman
One of my favorites                 Excellent App
I use this daily and cant get enough I love their articles theyre always changing and interesting and I never have problems with the app Great job                 Must have
Consistently provides thoughtprovoking articles that challenge my assumptions about human behavior and people with different political backgrounds However too many articles rise to the level of alarmist trope If they tone down the focus on idiots like OReilly and Giuliani it would be great              Great news and commentary app
Every headline longer than 4 words is cut off How is one supposed to decide whether to read an article or not if one cannot read the headline        Love the content hate the app
Finally allows landscape but front page now useless in portrait orientationcan only see a few words of headlines           Interface problems
I like some of the content on Salon but the iPad app is becoming increasingly unmanageable to the point where each move I make is becoming an adventure in navigation and surprise Soon I will get to the point where I wont bother with Salon anymore because the grief to payoff ratio is so low There are better more functional places I can go for the same content so I advise you to get an app designer who knows what they are doing     A bad app and getting worse
I enjoy the content but text sometimes gets cut off and ads sometimes disable the selection of articles making the app unusable        Buggy app
This is my go to App for all news and commentary                 Awesome App
An extremely progressive site with extreme left commentary No news here     Progressive Communism
The app through all its iterations has been buggy and not user friendly Since I like to read ideas Im drawn to the fantasy of what Id like Salon to be but in the end only about 10 is worth reading usually book reviews or links to articles written elsewhere like Alternet I consider myself progressive but Im also thoughtful and want to be challenged to think outside the box Too often Salon seems like the Lefts answer to Fox News a lot of outrage and bluster not a lot of selfcriticism If you want real thought provoking content youll have to go to The Atlantic or Harpers        Buggy to use often unsatisfying to peruse
I read it every single day If more people did the world ok the US at least would be a better place                 Best source for progressive commentary
It is a pleasure to return to Salon in large thanks to this solid app After being frustrated by number of other apps that were quite nonfunctional in particular the newest version of Slates app I was in need of finding an app that would allow me access to highquality journalism I am happy to report that salons app is easy to use and does not have bugs that prevent you from navigating it to read the journalism you want              Solid app
Why does the app post stories to Facebooks photo albums instead of directly to the wall Makes no sense and makes me not want to share stories           App ok but I hate how it connects to Facebook
Salon long ago gave up on producing a functional website This app is a good way to get to their great content                 Works much better than their buggy website
I like Salon Not love like A bit too many articles directed at youngsters and sex balanced by meaningful articles Technically glitchy however specifically the third article one the left side seems to be a problemI cannot download or read it and there is no contact information on the app for me to report glitches I would prefer salon to stick to real news and spend less time on fluff pieces           Bugs
Informative article with more depth than just headlines                 Good app good website
Good App              Good app
Almost unusable Maybe 1 out of 5 stories are readable For the rest no matter how many times I tap they dont come up And its not my iPad Dont see this on other apps     Terrible App
I have deducted a star since the last update So much harder to navigate the site and it wasnt ever easy I find myself avoiding it Shame really Because I liked to read the articles but its not worth the hassle        Getting worse by the update
I read Salon every day Always gives a good perspective that others do not                 Everyday
I like everyones pieces my wife and I really like Abrams articles                 I really like it so far
This app would be much improved if it would open up the article I was reading when I switched from Safari to this Salon app Instead when I decide to open the article in the app I get sent to the home page and have to search for the article        Where is my article
Your Apple Watch app wont even load and crashes every time when opened Pointless presence on wearables way to be     Sloppy build
I like Salons content but apparently they hired a beginner to design their app which barely functions Cmon guys you can do better than this     Good content bad app
Salon has well written thought provoking articles that you wont find in the mainstream media The articles are much more relevant as well                 Salon is my primary source of news
Great interface excellent stories but I find that sometimes when I tap the third or forth story from the top on the right nothing happens I have to open a different story and swipe to get to the story I want           A bit buggy
Luv this app              Great
Great content but the software is terrible Very buggy and the arrows at the bottom of the page appear and disappear finding your thumb as you scroll up and down the page you are reading sending you to another article Very annoying Otherwise a nice app           Great content
Disgustingly immoral     Immoral
Frequently does not show stories that are on Salons Facebook timeline or on the Saloncom website Articles often appear as a blank white page with no content Video advertisement are super annoying           Earlier versions were better
Its great to have this app to access all the wonderful articles Their technical support is fantastic Thank you                 I love Salon
Sensible news for sensible people with just the right amount of immortality Great content thanks                 Love it
The Facebook share doesnt work           Facebook Sharing Problem
This is news done right and one can comment or leave their own opinion People reply some pretty stupid things but one could find a good conversation Plus articles are written to feel real and opinionated with little bias Remember not to make it your only source so supplement with Fox CNN or whatever Dont be that person                 News done right
Ive often enjoyed the Salon articles Ive read so I decided to check it out myself           Just getting started with the app
This app should be discontinued Glaring problems from years ago persist update after update Todays insult Twitter posts are embedded into articles as links but no longer display the content of the posts Totally useless     Never improves ever
Good improvements The articles are right on                 Great app
Sorry folks this is not news These are opinions Maybe it would help to stand back take a deep breath and say Just because I believe something is true does not make it true Because one has an opinion even a very very strong opinion based on personal perspective does not mean that other people have to change their ideas or agree or do anything Stating an opinion repeatedly and loudly does not make it true     Opinions presented as facts
it doesnt matter its got good lefty content im rereading hemmingway              the bugs can be fixed
The Salon website is actually a better experience than this app but the real problem with this app and the reason Ive deleted it it that frequently it starts opening the App Store to a crappy cheap gamemultiple times while reading an article It does so automatically without a user clicking a link At least the website doesnt keep kicking you out of the article youre trying to read     Adware loaded app repeatedly opens App Store to crappy games
Appreciate the range of subject matter and often pleasantly surprised at the length and depth of the articles              A daily must read
Latest update caused issued on 4s iOS 7 Now it crashes often is slow to load and when finished reading articles in the Load More group the back arrow takes you back to front page so you have scroll down and hit Load More again the get back to where you were Avoiding Salon because of clunky app        App crashes often
Can only guess that conservatives write bad reviews about liberal media apps for the same reason they claim government is bad They hope youll stay away while they take over and fill the space with poorly thought out ideas and misinformation Great strateegery              Clean App
The articles on this app are often quite good but it is impossible to count on being able to open an article Often one must come back a few hours later to try again They are lazy with picture assignments to the articles frequently using the same picture on the same page for two or more articles Sometimes the picture has little to do with the content        Frustrating
In these times of lousy journalism I am so grateful for this app The articles whether I agree or not always leave me with something to think about Amazing and rare I read about the glitches but I have been so mesmerized by the content I have not noticed                 Unbelievable
I started reading Salon when I found out it was started by the man who wrote Season of the Witch Its a firstrate news source The reason I left off a star is that there are occasional stories that wont open Its a measured nonhysterical news source a welcome sight in this fraught age              Superb
Frequent spinning beach ball And the antiSemitism is a bug not a feature     Dodgy loading
Salon is my go to news website for a progressive view of current events Nice to have the same articles available on iOS I have found the app bullet proof in daily use It is responsive and basically the same as the website with an iOS flavor                 Great App
Limited article access           Ok
One of their articles caught my eye so I decided to get app Soon I realized it was a leftleaning love fest Im pretty open minded and have a lot of news periodical apps but this was ridiculous 35 articles biased     Review based on content
