If you're having trouble with the Slate app, please download the latest update from the App Store. For sign in trouble, you might try minimizing the window rather than closing out of it and signing back into your account as needed.

If you are receiving an error "Problem Linking Account", please close the error window, and you should find you are able to continue reading. This message is not a reflection of your Plus member status.



If you signed up for Slate Plus on the Slate website...


1. Go to the menu in the upper left corner of the app



2. Tap LOG IN / SIGN UP


3. If you are signed into the app, all content should be accessible and podcast will automatically play the ad-free Plus version in place of the regular one. If you are hearing ads and you are signed in, try locating the episode from the "Slate Plus Podcasts" icon under the shows tab rather than the individual show subsection. 


If you continue to experience issues, please contact us at plus@slate.com

Your iTunes/Apple purchase or Google Play purchase may be disconnected from the app, and will need to be restored.
