6. [R65] 4/5 · US Great value!: Sling cut our “cable” bill in half from our previous provider. More channels, cloud DVR…just great! Wish they had numbers assigned to each “station” for easier searching. Other than that, love it!
7. [R67] 5/5 · US Excellent: Sling is affordable and easy to use. Very good quality
8. [R126] 5/5 · US Cut the cord!: I cut the cord years ago when I discovered the Sling app. It’s my go to for News and sports… It has everything my cable company had but for a lot less money.
9. [R46] 5/5 · US My fav: I love the record option so I don’t miss my favourite MSNow programs, Also love the golf options open to me
10. [R128] 5/5 · US Recording is easy!: So many times I’m out and think, “shoot, I should have recorded that to watch later. The app takes me about 10 seconds to set up the recording from anywhere where internet is found.
11. [R44] 5/5 · US Day Pass!: Whoever thinks that deserves a raise! Thank you so much!
12. [R63] 5/5 · US 7 Day Pass: 10 ⭐️ The day pad is a dream come true
13. [R116] 5/5 · US Awesome: The option for a one day sling pass that gives you a day of TV is amazing! Now I can watch the Nuggets game tonight without having to pay $50 for a month of some streaming service. Thank you SlingTV!
14. [R88] 5/5 · US Best Streaming Service: Sling is the only service that allows you to combine your over the air channels with your streaming channels in one app. It is the best price and also allows remote viewing so I can watch it any where. Extremely happy with it.
15. [R2] 1/5 · US Stops constantly: When I say that this app stops constantly, it’s not an exaggeration. The stream is interrupted every 1-5 minutes. It’s unbelievably frustrating. My cousin said she used to have sling and got rid of it because of the glitches and stream interruptions but that it might have been her WiFi. We have high speed internet and all our other apps work just fine. This may be the cheapest
16. [R15] 3/5 · US Problems with app: The app is terrible. I am constantly removing it and then downloading it to get it to work.
17. [R17] 1/5 · US Least reliable. Most glitchy. Inconsistent. Just randomly stops broadcasting.: I think the title says it all, except for adding the lousy customer service when a technical problem is reported.
18. [R24] 1/5 · US App is buggy: Have had this app on Apple TV for a couple of years. Interface is clunky and hard to adjust to just the channels I am interested in. Links to Apple TV watch queue is iffy. But worst of all is that the App locks up every few months and gives a technical problem and asks to try later. Someday never comes as CCR sang. Turns out the only way to recover from this bug is to shutdown A
19. [R1] 1/5 · US Epic fail with World Cup: Hey I’m going back to cable congratulations. You did it
20. [R7] 1/5 · US this app is buns: this app is buns the only thing i bought a subscription for was the world cup and it won’t let me watch the world cup the stream keeps crashing or it won’t play the actual game but redirects to some bs tv channel
21. [R11] 1/5 · US Would not unlock channels: A waist of money. I purchased online a 1 day pass. It would not unlock the channels. A family member also tried and the same thing happened to them. I would not recommend this service. I would have gave 0 stars but it is not possible.
22. [R16] 1/5 · US Deceptive marketing: Purchase this to watch the World Cup under the assumption from marketing that I was able to. After purchase it then told me I could not actually watch the World Cup. This is not the first time sling TV has used deceptive marketing to get me to sign up.
23. [R8] 1/5 · US Never works: I would give a no star if I could! Has never work right. DVR will not play. No email, phone number. No help at all!
24. [R18] 1/5 · US DVR CONTROL: Your DVR Control Overreach is astounding.
25. [R27] 1/5 · US Back in the stone ages with the DVR!: The DVR won't play the next show after the one you press play on. VERY annoying! DirecTV allowed you to do that decades ago! The DVR is a joke!
26. [R40] 2/5 · US My DVR movies\Shows are gone: I’ve had sling for a few years now. I usually watch Sling on my Ipad, but it’s also on my phone & TV. My DVR shows/movies on my iPad are mostly gone. I only have about 9 that show up, but on my iPhone & my TV they all show up. I tried reinstalling it. I have no VPNs on, the app is up to date. I’m disappointed because I use my IPad to watch sling.
27. [R9] 2/5 · US Who is the monster?: Who is the one responsible for changing the guide? Who hurt them? Did Mr. Rogers tell them they would never be loved as an adult? The guide worked. It showed what was on, and what was coming up. Then someone tried to save the world, and we now have this abomination. Instead of listing everything, the channels are grouped by seemingly arbitrary genres. But to see everyt
28. [R31] 4/5 · US Mostly good: I find it hard to find the shows I’m looking for, because when searching it goes back to beginning of the list. I wasn’t sure how to record on my DVR. I Think I’ve figured it out.
29. [R52] 2/5 · US Fix the bugs: Should be the best cable streaming app but it’s the most glitchy POS of all the streaming apps I have. Stop changing the layouts and doing this gimmicky nonsense and just make the basic functions work properly. And why does that stupid noise scream at you when you open the app?
30. [R3] 1/5 · US Streaming options have degraded and stopped working: The app keeps giving 26-50 errors making the app useless. Something has drastically been degraded in the past few weeks. Terrible! And there are no customer support options!
31. [R32] 1/5 · US It’s a recurring ripoff: Can’t login, can’t change password, can’t cancel subscription, can’t contact anybody. This provider literally charges me every month for a service I can’t use. I have tried for months to get anywhere with it to no avail.
32. [R4] 5/5 · US Mr Akol: I love Sling but improve contents please And lower prices, it is too high for subscription that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much
33. [R28] 1/5 · US You pay AND you get commercials!: Annoying sign-in process, censored dialog, $4.99 a day, and tons of commercials.
34. [R39] 1/5 · US Pessimo: Vou colocar uma estrela porque não há opção de não colocar nenhuma. Não cumprem com nada e te cobram por tudo. Assinei o pacote completo com globo play e nunca consegui acessar. Depois paguei o pacote pra Fox sport1 para assistir ao jogo mas o jogo sai extremamente atrasado, horas depois do que já passou. E depois não devolvem seu dinheiro e você não consegue cancelar a assinatura com fac
35. [R54] 1/5 · US Don’t waste your money: Over priced not good for watching MLB and when I cancelled they ended my programming a day early. Definitely would not recommend
36. [R93] 3/5 · US Par I guess..: Only got this app to watch Nascar, video quality is CONSTANTLY dropping out. even when I’m not caught up to live tv. Hard to enjoy when there are all of 13 whole pixels on the screen honestly. But I guess for 1/3rd the cost of YTTV, its.. something.
37. [R73] 1/5 · US Glitchy, waste of money: I canceled after attempting to watch 1 live NHL game. The picture quality was rarely clear, buffering happened often. And the kicker - the recording and live feed stopped 1 minute before the winning goal in overtime. So I tried to jump to there channel- ESPN. Apparently YOU can’t just watch the ESPN ‘channel’ as on tv. Whenever I clicked on the channel I was taken to the
38. [R23] 1/5 · US Inundated with commercials: This is the worst streaming service. Tons of commercials and even spots of a nonsensical text with a literal countdown on the screen. So you’re just sitting there watching a fricking countdown. Unbelievable.
39. [R84] 3/5 · US Good for live sports but…: Every commercial break is literally children with cancer, dying animals, and pharmaceutical companies selling hiv or fat loss drugs. Will absolutely ruin the mood of anything you watch. I find myself turning it off and watching something else more and more.
40. [R136] 3/5 · US Casino Adds: I have had sling for 5 + years. Channels are great but all they promote now is these stupid casino adds. They come up some much it seems like they are trying to brainwash you in to downloading them. They are on every channel. You can’t escape them. Considering going back to cable.
41. [R14] 1/5 · US Playing on AirPlay Issue - Still Broken at 9.41.1 and Sling Won’t Fix: Now at v9.41.1. Ever since the v9 update months ago, Sling introduced a bug where the on-screen player controls stay displayed and will not disappear when Airplaying to speakers (HomePods). I’ve let support know several times and have left feedback here. And for whatever reason, they won’t fix it. Make the app unusable for my p
42. [R193] 3/5 · US The only let you watch 1 ESPN: The only that sucks about Sling is they only let you watch 1 ESPN at a time even with their most expensive plan! So if 2 games you want to watch live at the same time and you turn on another TV on your house it will only let you watch just 1 game on 1 TV. WHY? They don’t even offer an option for this or have split screen like YouTube does. Also if a NASCAR Race or
43. [R20] 1/5 · US No good: I am requesting a full refund because this app used deceptive advertising. I subscribed to the Arabic package based on information that it includes the Arabic beIN Sports channels to watch the FIFA World Cup matches. However, after paying, I found out that these channels are completely unavailable in the US region and the World Cup is not being broadcasted on this platform at all. I was m
44. [R57] 5/5 · US 2018 Great; Price way up since: I’ve really enjoyed Sling but it’s very expensive for me now. I might be switching to something else very soon. Otherwise, good selection. 🙂
45. [R99] 3/5 · US Overpriced: Honestly I liked the streaming service when I first had it. But then the on demand section just never had anything and the price tripled over time. Ended up canceling and getting a new streaming service elsewhere with the same few channels for a third of the price. Would consider going back if the price was right.
46. [R111] 3/5 · US Price is going up: Price is going up
