Sling’s apps all such. The mobile one is no different. The app continually freezes when cutting to commercials, and causes me to have to force stop it on my Android device. On my computer, commercials will cut off parts of the show, and even other commercials. I am a software developer, and there is no […]
Reviews for Sling: Live TV + Freestream
β Back to Sling: Live TV + Freestream20 reviews
I signed up for sling through Roku, but the Roku app shows no sign of my account. I try to go to the sling account who says my address isn’t right. You get what you pay for, I guess by getting cheap TV I have to be subject to zero customer service, just robots, confusion, […]
Worked fine for a month. Now it works half the time at best. It either has an error message at the start, or it plays for a minute and says the stream is unauthorized, or it just crashes. There is no way to get help for it. If you can contact the support, they just […]
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 refuse to give up my cc# info and pay for a service that is advertised as a “free” streaming service. I really should have read […]
Although Sling is a great value, this is probably one on the worst mobile streaming apps I’ve ever used. When device powers down and resumes, video does not start up again. You have to go back to the guide and relaunch the channel. When the player is windowed, the device does not stay awake. You […]
The app is great for sports events, but it gets incredibly spotty if the event runs a little long. Watching an NBA game tonight (casted to my Google TV), the game ran from 7:30 to a little after 10:00. Right at 10:00, the stream began constantly disconnecting. Every 2-3 minutes, I would have to stop […]
I’ve never had so many issues with a streaming service. It’s not worth the price. When I open the app, it immediately closes or crashes. It constantly stops playing all together, it keeps giving me errors trying to set DVR schedules and then doesn’t show anything that was recorded. I’ve un-installed, cleared cache, and every […]
I don’t usually make reviews but these streaming apps have become so greedy. I understand its a business, but there’s a line. I started paying for Sling to watch Playoff hockey which I love. I wanted to watch one game on my TV and the other overlapping game(s) on my phone… and to find out […]
Keeps shutting down. Sometimes, we have to restart three or four times for it to stay on. Only happening sling, not happening with other streaming services. Changed to Sling for the cost difference but due to poor service and rising cost of streaming, it may be time to go back to cable. Also, seems like […]
Promotions are total scams! I’ve been advised twice now from legit emails that I have earned spins in their promotions, only to open the app well within the allotted time, so I can spend an hour looking for this non-existent wheel to spin. It’s so frustrating that I’m about to spend the next few hours […]
Worst app to watch live sports. works great during the allotted time for the event but as soon as the game goes over it allotted time on the guide the stream glitches. Since every game goes over the allotted time the ends of games are unwatchable. It great if you are not in to the […]
Sling is getting worse by the week. It used to be a good, reasonably priced streaming service. Now, it is painfully slow, and the fast-forward function only partially works. Forget about support. There is none. There is also some problem with adding services like a sports package. In any event, I can’t add baseball no […]
App freezes way too much. The guide doesn’t match up with what’s playing. Plays the same episodes 3 times a day, every day. If it plays in the morning, it plays at noon and in the evening. TV shows have more than just the 5 same episodes. It crashes when more than one person is […]
The platform is ok. Not great, but ok. However, they are now increasing the rates by $6/month (from $55 to $60.99), and although I have the sports package already, (Sling Orange and Blue, and Sling rewards), I would have to buy an additional sports package for $15-$23 or more per month (unclear on the price) […]
App was ok until I decided to pause the app for two months. The pause worked fine only $5 a month until I decided to resume my regular plan. They resumed but I was not able to view what I was paying for Espn Disney channel and free form. They were all locked and Sling […]
The dvr experience is totally horrible. Some of the scheduled programs that are suppose to be recorded aren’t. And getting black out moments for games that are suppose to be showing in my area is not what I’m planning to keep paying for. And a lot of the games that are suppose to be recorded […]
Sling is the worst streaming app that’s not free. Actually, it’s worse than the free apps I use. I’ve tried it out 4 times over 7 years. It’s still as garbage as it was the first time I tried it in 2018. It’s never not glitching. It displays the wrong times, channels, programs, and it […]
More complicated than it needs to be. Channels that are “included” with a package are inaccessible, like some cruel tease. There are constantly errors on the website when trying to manage your account, and messages that just say, “Unable to process, please try again later.” And again, the channel you want to watch is likely […]
Terrible product and terrible business model. Bought a subscription, first sporting event i watched the live stream timed out and had to be restarted at least a dozen times. Other times the stream would rewind to a previous spot without warning causing another restart. The next morning i asked for a refund and because i […]
I signed up 2 mos ago and it’s been nothing but problems. 2 wks after signing up for paid service, DVD didn’t work. Then for several days when opening the app the screen was just black, so I had to keep uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times. The past few days it’s been buffering and freezing […]
