Customer Reviews
No support for older models, and why do I have to pay when I have iPhone all
I already had sling player for iPhone, so was annoyed when I was asked to pay $30 again for the iPad app. In the end I wanted to be able to watch tv though so I ponied up, only to find out that it doesn't support the sling player av, which works just fine on the iPhone. The only reason I can see for their not supporting it on the iPad is wanting to drive more device sales, and I refuse to give them that satisfaction when my old box works perfectly well. I want a refund... Sling has lost a fan.
Fantastic update!!!
I had to login and say how AWESOME the update is! The remote is perfect, you have instant access to some previously hard to find controls. And the general feel is cleaner and more intuitive.
Great Job!
Great update
love the new remote, the tv guide overlay and the app seems a bit more responsive. Now if only they could fix the audio issue on the iPhone version (audio mono only with headphones).
