User Review of SlingPlayer for Phones

  • Mr. Paul Oct 11, 2012

    When I bought this program both for my pda and tablet, it was a little pricey. But at half price this is a smokin' deal. It works great and now that I have it I don't know what I would do without it when traveling. Everything is pretty self explanatory and is fairly quick considering what it's doing. The phone version is a little more time consuming to use but all in all both versions are indispensible when traveling.

    I had downloaded this program 2 years ago, on a different headset; and I anticipated having to pay for the app all over again, after reading on the Internet that there were many changes. I have to tell you that the program works perfectly on my SGS3, whether I'm home or out and about. I am definitely impressed. I will let those around me see for themselves that they should get a Slingo; and the app.

  • Excellent ! Oct 10, 2012

    Absolutely brilliant. Even performs really well on 'H' network. Watched my recordings whilst in Thailand with only 'Edge' connection. Only occasionally buffered. Can't praise this app enough, although initially seemed a little pricey.

  • Update ??? Oct 4, 2012

    $30 app that hasn't been updated in over a year!? In that time, how many updates to the iphone app? I want my money back, unless we get updates to add all the features the iphone has (audio only, guide, etc.) (Revised for 10/03 update) Updated finally, thank you! Very useful update. Guide, rotation, better quality, nice job. Seems slower to change channels and send commands to cable box, improve that and 5 stars.

  • Good, but... Oct 15, 2012

    Love my slinbox and player. But I have an android phone and tablet while my wife has an iPhone and iPad. If we want to use all 4 devices, we have to buy 4 separate apps. Ridiculous! Also, latest update was HUGE and can't be moved to SD card. That needs to be fixed ASAP!

  • Great app for a great product... Jan 4, 2013

    You really can't go wrong with the Slingbox player. I would give 5 stars if you could adjust the band usage down so it could be watched on gogo on a airline w/o allways buffering. Sputter sputter.

  • Almost great Dec 13, 2012

    it delivers television service very well, but needs 3 additional features to be perfect. if it had a screen lock feature, an audio only mode, and the ability to see which data source you're using, it would be everything I need.

    I have tried this app numerous times with each update. It finally works now for Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Remember that this app is mostly dependant on your home's internet connection UPLOAD speed to send video to your device! If you have awesome 4G Phone with mega fast service but DSL at home with terrible upload speed than this will always have bad video quality. I suggest that you know what upload speed your home internet service is SUPPOSED to have and make sure you are getting what you pay for!

  • This app works better than the RC65X DirecTV remote. No, I don't work for the app company or even have their stock, but I might in the future ;-) With this app I don't need direct line-of-sight to control my antique HR21 DVR. A single click on this app does what three frustrating clicks does with the RC65X in IR mode. I use this on my Google Nexus by Asus running Jelly Bean with no problems. The 7 inch size is great for a remote. It was awkward on my 10 inch tablet.
