So disappointed – Sling: Live TV, Sports & News Review

Update 12/11/17 Dear Sling, your iPad platform still doesn’t allow playback of NBC shows like DATELINE, LATE NIGHT W SETH MEYERS and WILL & GRACE. It is not an issue with my local NBC station or whatever it excuse you gave last time I complained because it works fine on Kindle and Samsung. If Sling has an issue with Apple developers or NBC, you should admit it. You’ll lose more customers by lying to them. 9/2017 I had high hopes for this idea and app given the reviews when compared to other streaming TV service. The Roku version works OK but the iPad and iPhone apps are the WORST! It doesn't play back many recorded shows aired in NBC, Comedy Chnl & CNN. The wheel-of-wait just spins and spins. I have contacted support 7 times in as many days (feeling like a new platform deserves direct feedback to help improve), but all their suggestions change nada. Unplug, reset, reinstall, re-record, rinse, repeat. Nothing changes. They have "elevated" my issue several times but I do not hear back as to the status and I asked them to email me. Also, the show descriptions are often and shows with episodes don't show the air date so you don't know if it's one you've seen already. I have to cross-check with Comcast! That's ridiculous. I really wanted/want this idea to work. Comcast (in my area) has had a monopoly on television WAY too long, but if Sling isn't going to listen to (see other reviews) or respond to its subscribers or to actually USE the feedback to improve, it's a waste of money.
