Slate

It’s an admin tool made by bean counters without much understanding of what the people who use it need to get from it.

Next to sliced bread, this may be the greatest app ever greated.

I think the idea is awesome! But to me, the whole point of having a slate mobile app, is to look up a record...maybe while I'm at a college fair and be able to easily view a file away from my office. Work on files while I'm traveling. I feel like this is a tease. I log in and pull up an applicant. I view a transcript, and when I hit the return tab, nothing happens...so now I have to close the app, log back in and go back to the students file.Then if I want to evaluate the file, I have to go to slate reader...where I can't run a query to see who belongs to me in my first reads. I have to go to slate mobile, run a query there and either export it to a pdf,excel, etc... Or take a screenshot of the list and then go back to slate reader and look for your file to add it to the queue.When you add it to the queue, it takes forever to load...literally forever..you have to close the program and go log back in again and then the file will be in your queue. You can't upload anything from slate reader or mobile because the app will close, so you have to go on the website and upload it that way.These glitches aren't difficult to fix either. They are very minimal and I was hoping they would have been fixed sooner. My understanding of the slate team was that they were constantly trying to stay as up to date as possible. We just got that new look on the page and that's awesome too, but I would prefer a more efficient way to use your app. Otherwise, I find it rather pointless to have a half working app that isn't going to be updated with improvements.
