Pros and cons of SlingPlayer for iPhone app for iPhone and iPad

SlingPlayer for iPhone app good for

If you have a sling Box IT IS a must. With an iPhone IT IS great, One Thing i Miss the 3g Support. All other plattforms like BB, Nokia can that. Why the iPhone Not i Hope IT will ne On the Next Version.

I cant say enough on how much I like this app it makes road trips or just hanging out much better.It works great.

Works well. Previous versions stuttered even on WIFI but performance has improved greatly, even on my iPhone 3GS. I use this app daily.

This version has fixed the problem with adding numerical favorites in the mobile version. "Guide "now brings up your favorites list instead of the unreadable Digital box guide. Thanks. Perfect. 5/5

When I was a child watching football and basketball I dreamt of tech like this. Thank you sling box!

***Update*** Still love this app and use it like crazy, really dont understand the haters. It seems like most of them are complaining about the price point which is maybe fair, its a bit pricey. But if your willing to dish it the dough, the app is absolutely great, i watch hockey games on it with wifi on the go. If your going to baulk at the price, ok, but i dobt think its fair to give it such a low rating given it works great. I have the slingbox classic and this app works with it as of now. For anyone worried about it not working with classic I wouldnt worry, other reviewers have mentioned success as well. This app is really great, love it as much as I do my slingplayer for my pc. If it ever becomes incompatible with my current configuration (classic slingbox)i will not be happy, but Ill probably just upgrade my slingbox. 5 star app for sure ******UPDATE******* I now have the Slingbox 500. The newest version of this app does not work!! Please fix. I used this app for three years without a single problem with my slingbox classic but now the new version of this app will not run properly with the latest and greatest slingbox, the 500! Please fix the app, it works for like 20 seconds and them the feed freezes. Bring the app back to the high performing standard it had before and I will bump the rating back up to five stars. ***Update Works better than ever, 5Stars! Highly recommended you buy a slingbox 500 and the ipad and iphone apps, so amazing watching NHL hockey outside north america in HD

Some bad moments

0 very bad! Shame doesnt work on full screen iphone 5. Such lazy people working at slingmedia...! Shouldnt be that hard to upgrade to fullscreen!

This app is an exciting idea. Its implementation is not particularily user-friendly and slightly bug-prone. During the set-up I found myself in an endless loop that even the helpful hotline had difficulties in solving. The app then did work - for aprox 24 hours - but now for some reason crashes every time I start it. When working the picture was just about bearable quality on 3G. The developers will need to do a *lot* more testing and optimizing before it works in a stable and efficent manner. Im currently waiting for a response and hopefully a bugfix as it sadly doesnt work at present. Expensive disappointment.

The version prior to 2.0 was better. The high quality video on the slingplayer 2.0 I can no longer enjoy. I have completed various test and the issue is not the Internet but the slingplayer current software.

All the 3. Version are very Bad, befor with 2..... all works very fine. In SQ No HDMI Picture out, only sound on the TV. I wan´t have back the Old Slingplayer.

App is not working anymore at Chromecast. An expensive app like this one should have a better support.

Why is there now a Facebook link??? The last thing we need is more stuff on the screen. This version also crashes, the previous one had never crashed for me.
