When working in social you need things that work fast, efficiently and easily. That is Slate. This has exponentially helped make our lives easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly there is nothing that can improve this product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to swap between the mobile app and the computer website is what makes this app shine the most. Being able to easily create a filter or template from my computer and then upload it for mobile usage is super useful especially when trying to create content on the go, or with a fast flip time.

The app could be a bit more convenient. Requiring items to be an exactly a certain size and ppi can be frustrating, especially when ppi will automatically be adjusted on most apps. The stability of both the site and app is questionable as well. Having to manually save everything has to be the biggest downfall of Slate, and often times, me and my crew found that even when we did manually save, the program would not save our changes when refreshed. There absolutely needs to be an autosave feature. The ability to create filters in Slate is also very clunky and needs a fair bit of work, although I think it is currently still in beta.

Thank you so much for the detailed and productive feedback. We brought up this review during our product feedback meeting with myself, our CEO and our product team to discuss. Here are some specifics related to your feedback:
1. Ppi/sizing of assets: We actually hadn't received this feedback before but it makes total sense. We're going to explore ways the platform can be more flexible to ingest assets of different sizes / resolutions and take more burden off the customer to size correctly.
2. Stability: This is always a top top top priority for us and something we track daily, especially since so many of our customers use us in real-time during high leverage events. We definitely would want to dig in with you on where you notice issues and get to the bottom of it because it's not something we hear often and not something we want to put on the back burner.
3. Auto-save: We totally agree this is a very necessary feature edition. We recently released the ability to save draft so when you refresh you can still access old draft, but its not automatic. Auto-saving comes next and it's moving high up the roadmap.
4. Filters: I believe you are referring to our new PSD templates feature which is in beta. You are correct it's still in testing phase, but we're making improvements to release it out of beta soon!
I love the versatility of the app as well as uploading to the desktop / web version. It's incredibly easy to use after you figure out where everything is located. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some formatting limitations make it a bit harder to use when trying to customize content for stories. I think there are other apps that Slate could use inspiration from, like Unfold, to create more options for content customization within the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
