Pros and cons of Sling: Live TV, Sports & News app for iPhone and iPad

Sling: Live TV, Sports & News app good for

"Available now" shows will not forward on my iPad. Not by the 30 second forward button and not by sliding a finger on the progress bar.

I was watching Disney channel and it said Liv and Maddie was on. But when I started watching it, a different show was on! And when I clicked on a show, it didnt say anything about the episode! Please fix this

UPDATED: Buffering problems are history and reliable streaming is the standard of the day, day after day and at anytime of the day. Truly a reliable live streaming option to cable and satellite services. Updated to four stars. *** Using the App for the trial service on an iPhone 6S, an iPad 4th generation, an iPad Pro, and both the 32GB and the 64GB Apple TV fourth generation models was an exercise with more pleasure than pain. The devices with the Sling TV App were connected by 5.0Ghz WiFi at ~200Mbs. The Sling TV App works just fine. The streaming service needs greater reliability. The App UI is not particularly slick or especially innovative, but it is functional, becomes familiar to use in no time at all, and does have some nice options for previewing the current and upcoming schedule without leaving the program being currently watched. The Sling TV service delivering the content stream is either rock solid or an on again, off again, on again, off again buffering interrupting annoyance. Most of the time, the performance is solid; during those times that the streaming is interrupted, it is frustrating beyond common patience. Having "cut the cord" in 2006 and then easing into paying for Netflix and Hulu as those services evolved, adding Sling TV as an additional paid entertainment service for more television choices wasnt a quick decision and I watched far more programming during the trial period than I normally would in order to give the App and accompanying service a good workout. Sling TV offers a good choice of networks; most of the same networks which I wouldve selected à la carte if the cable monopolies allowed such an option. Ill manage through the occasional frustrating interruption and stay with the Sling TV as it continues to more fully develop.

Im so happy with Sling so far and I havent even tried it with Roku. Im stoked you have Bravo its the main reason i switched as its pretty much all i watch. You literally saved me so much money every month and i get a lot more channels! It felt soooo good to return my digital starter and additional outlet boxes to Comcast. Felt like a huge weight off me. I have high speed cable internet and havent had any issues w crashing except just one error that said something about another device running and in order to keep viewing id have to start a new video. Had no idea what that meant so i signed off and went back in and everything was fine. Hope it stays this way! Thank you thank you!!

I have no idea why so many one star reviews - but Sling TV is fantastic. Dont believe me? Try their 7 day service for free. I have not seen any lag or any other issues since I started with this service. If your service is poor, it could be due to poor internet speeds - not the sling service. Is the app perfect - no. Could they improve the service - yes. For the price however (20/25 a month) it works great. Do some research and try Sling. For me its way better than cable.

AAAND the app has worked PERFECTLY since day 1 which was a few months back. All the channels I love. No interruption in service. Low price. Cant beat it. Thank you SLINGtv -- very satisfied customer.

Some bad moments

Unable watch live tv in IPhone. There is an endless spinning circle. Two months trying to fix it and their customer service is worse than their app.

Started 7 day trial today. Tried on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, disappointing. I spent more time waiting for it to load shows, sound and pic not syncing up. Tested my speed and Internet is fine, all other streaming apps work fine.

I really like the idea of cord cutting, but I really hope that they will spend more time fixing the app crashes and paying attention to user experience. The UI is just horrible especially if you subscribe to the Cantonese channels. Not a single show fetches a screenshot, so my entire UI is showing the default icon.

Ive been using sling for 3 months now. Only because I prepaid... This is by far the worst streaming service I have ever used. Hulu, Netflix, Amazon video, etc all have way better service. Sling TV constantly freezes, especially on highly traffic programs likes the NBA finals...

The live TV feature On Now doesnt work at all, even in high speed wifi. Please fix.

The app doesnt work on iPad either on iPhone! You cannot seen live tv! I just purchased 3 months of service!!! I am furious!
