Description
Been using Sling: Live TV + Freestream for a couple months now. It’s basically a live TV streaming service with tons of channels, on-demand shows, and cloud DVR. Pretty solid app if you’re into cutting the cord and ditching cable.
Here’s what you do: you can stream live sports, news, popular TV shows, and thousands of movies. And there’s also a huge on-demand library – it’s got pretty much everything. And the cloud DVR feature is really handy, you get 50 hours of storage included.
Look, if you’re into live TV streaming, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the interface can be a little clunky at times – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you’re looking to ditch your cable bill.
Editor Opinion
So here's my honest take on Sling: Live TV + Freestream. I've tested a bunch of live TV apps and this one's pretty solid. The channel selection is great, with all the sports, news, and entertainment I need. The DVR works well and 50 hours is a decent amount of storage. But the UI can be a little confusing to navigate at first. And the ads, while not terrible, get a little annoying if you don't pay for the ad-free version. Overall though, it's a great option if you're looking to cut the cord.

Terrible. Upon opening the app and selecting the "Free Stream" option on the opening page, the app goes into terminal loading lock where you can't do anything at all. I...
