Sling TV

Functionality – 4/5

After you start the app, you will see the “My TV” section. There you will be able to see the channels you usually watch, recorded programs, movies, and news from “continue watching” section, your favorites list, etc. “My TV” is a default page that will be shown right after starting the app.

You can search for the movie or any other tv show by tapping on the “search” section. All the sections are located on the left side of the screen, tap the “menu” icon to see them. You can also go to the “channel” section, where you will see the available channels. You can sort them into groups (my channels, sports, movies, lifestyle, kids, news, etc.) It is obvious that you cannot pause live programs while watching them, because they are being streamed. However, you can record the show and watch it later.

Design – 4/5

Sling TV design is not brilliant because sometimes it may be uncomfortable to search for movies and TV shows. But despite this fact, all the sections are sorted, and it is easy to reach them. Sling TV uses a dark theme, so it is comfortable to run the application at night time.

Usability – 4/5

The app provides users with all the promised content, but some users say that the Sling TV sometimes crashes. Nevertheless, you can easily watch any channel you wish. The app has many useful features, and all of them work great.

Cross-platform use – 4/5

You can download Sling TV for iOS and Android devices for free. You can find the app on the Google Play Market and App Store. The features are the same on both devices. The interface also has no differences.

The Bottom Line
