Reviews

4.0 is a huge improvement or past versions
sausie12345

The new version is much faster and easier to navigate. Still can be sluggish, at times, but a marked improvement.


Update
Myteesharp

This update is horrible! I have to now jump through so many loops to get to my dvr


Don’t update
Photon bear

After the latest update even component cable connection is blocked and no longer supported.


Disaster of an update!!
kervkov

Please revert to the old version. Useless. Using the guide to find a program to record now takes an eternity. Useless.


HDMI hook up doesn’t work with iPhone anymore after a decade!!
chrismb1

Used my slingbox constantly hooked up in my car via hdmi to my iPhone. Now it barely works. Have to turn my phone side ways and it it doesn’t fill the big screen on my radio anymore it’s projected to. The older versions worked great, want to roll it back to old version how do we do that? This is terrible. You have to turn your screen sideways too to get to the remote icon too. Wow! It’s like hide and seek with this app. Start over.


Broke HDMI
cdubs1214

Can no longer watch via HDMI. Had to spend $80 on an HDMI to Component converter and it’s still spotty.


Long time user
scottfromnashville

Great


New Roku TVs not supported
nortsnorts

This app no longer works with many of the newer Roku devices and TCL Roku TVs. There’s no way to even log a support request with Sling. You have to pay $27 to call them so they can tell you this.


Constant re logins
M-Ku

Otherwise working again in ios12. Give me skip and jump back controls in portrait orientation. Or all the remote controls. More room for the skip and jump buttons in landscape view.


Old format was better
BillyBilly1

The latest update is a downgrade. It takes longer to get it going and the guide only goes forward 2 hours.
