MAKE THE HOME BAR DISAPPEAR

You are the only app left on the planet earth where the home bar still sits at the bottom of your app while watching in full screen. It might be 4 lines of code knock this out; MIGHT BE
Worst update ever!

Dear Sling...If it’s not broken, don’t fix it! This update is the absolute worst in app history. I can no longer connect on my iPhone or for that matter, even at home. Thirty bucks down the tubes. Fix this horrible mistake or roll back to the previous version. Zero stars if I were allowed to do that.
Awful

Where did the DVR button go? Keeps asking for login info. I’ve been using slingbox since 2005. Every year just gets worse and worse. Even serving ads on the desktop player for something we bought. Just utter garbage. I guess sling is pumping all of their money into subscription based services these days. Don’t even bother.
Frustrating App

With this updated app, I can no longer use my lightning to HDMI adapter and watch my local television on another tv through my cell phone while I am out of town. The picture comes up extremely tiny up in the corner (literally the same size as my cell phone, but on my tv). I’ve messed with every picture setting imaginable on the tv, and I get a full screen when watching YouTube or other movies, but the sling box app is not compatible with it. I wish I could contact support about this issue, but I haven’t had any luck so far.
Where are the Dvr recordings

First of all I love the idea of being able to view my home television dvr. The interface of this is not super intuitive. And I have no way to find my Dvr recordings after searching for an hour. I am not an old man who is technologically incompetent, but used to be a software engineer. The playing is fine , just work on the interface and show me the Dvr!
No update is horrible

No remote until stream starts. No good for food as I can’t go to a non HD channel to watch. Verizon Box starts in 1080p mode all I get is a message video stream not supported. The only way I can get it to work is go to the TV where the box is located turn TV on switch resolution to 720p then it works. Not good if you are away from home which is what the sling box is for right?
Much Welcomed Update!

Not perfect but a far and beyond improvement from the old outdated app. I literally placed my Slingbox 500 on Craig’s List because of the lack of software support but this update has given the device not only a stay but also new life! Thank goodness I never sold it. And thank you Sling Media for not forgetting your customers.
Trash

First off, you pay $300 for the hardware and THEN YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE APP TO USE IT!!???? Secondly, how can you update an app and make it even worse? Now you have to login almost every time you use it, evens if it's open. Preferences don't save and buttons change or sometime don't even work at all!! Thanks sling box for your trash app.
Worthless money

Sling box use to have all the remote controls. As per the description, I understood I could get the controls back by buying the paid app. WRONG!!!! I cannot find one feature more than the free app. Don’t waste your money buying this app!!
