Crashes all the time
September 5, 2022

Crashes all the time. This app on the TV just stops suddenly all the time. You can only watch TV for about an hour before you look up and the app is closed. It's nonsense. And a pain. This is way too expensive for this to be happening

I signed up to this service. It sucks, and charges through the roof. I forgot to cancel the subscription by a few days and they refused to refund me. I had a similar incident with Nextfix one time, and didn't ask for a refund because I was happy with the services anyway, but Netflix refunded me. SLING you suck.

I had a monthly subscription, which I cancelled online. However, I was still charged for the next month. When I called customer support, I was told that the subscription will be cancelled from next month and they can not refund my money already charged.

Called tech support with freezing issues and was told I would be cancelled after free trial. After 2 months of taking $21.19 out of my account I was told there are no refunds. Ripped me off over $42 out of my fixed income. BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE!

I hate this service after months you pay a premium and still have to watch long commercial and ads on every channel. The quality of the ads is perfect and the quality of the shows is diminished the video and audio goes to crap after the ads finish.

Sling TV advertises heavily for being able to watch local channels. That is completely false. You basically have to live in New York, LA, or Chicago for that to be even possibly true. Their work-around is to use AirTV which requires an OTA antenna. The whole point of streaming local channels is to not have to use an antenna. Completely disappointed in the bait and switch. I did get the first month half off, but I still feel like it was a complete waste of money.

The encyclepedia of their terms of use which is nowhere in their table of contents or site navigation, has a lot of 'we are not responsible' clauses in it.

DVR stopped 1/3 through a game. - not responsible.

Quickly tried to flip to the live channel to catch the end. Butbit actually played the DVR recording from the beginning and stopped at the same spot 1/3 through. - not responsible.

I only subscribed to watch my team and wished to cancel sine I am not getting the service I thought I paid for. Should have read the 'terms of use' that you can't find any reference nor link to - not responsible.

Sling the wallet sickle!

They will do anything to get your money. I disputed a charge because it was charged at 3 something AM And I know for a fact I was asleep at that time. They disputed my claim and recharged my account anyway And why would I sign up for some thing that I didn't like in the first place. I pay for YouTube TV and spectrum app and Hulu what the hell do I need sorry a@% Sling for? All I have to say is buyer beware!

ADS non stop
July 31, 2022

Ads all the time, and most of the time the ads ruin the show, this is because the show starts over usually, and you have if you try to start back where you left off you watch ads just to find out it's still starting over. I'm beyond frustrated with this crap. I'm going back to cable

Thanks Sling TV for canceling my account NINE days prior to my next bill date with no notice and no refunds! SNEAKY.

Yeah, Sling TV is a class act... shutting down my account because I posted a complaint to the BBB! Thanks for the heads up... wow.

Guys, do not give these thieves your money! The service sucks and they won't give you your money back.

*Try Philo, it's half the price.

Sling TV are thieves!
September 19, 2017

I tried Sling TV for a month. I called to cancel their service but was charged for another. I called to dispute these charges. They say there's no record of my cancellation and wouldn't refund the charges or transfer me to a supervisor but would put in a cancel services for next billing cycle. I hung up and called again immediately in hopes to talk to someone else. This call was very concerning. They had no record of any of my previous calls or my cancellation. There seems no way out of this company!

Upon trying to cancel your sling Tv subscription they will make it as confusing date wise as possible, if u even miss it by a few minutes in my case one day they will not prorate it nor will they refund it, they will make it incredibly incredibly hard to reach anyone customer service wise. Once you do reach anyone at a customer service level expect the rudeness to run rabid. Do not I repeat, do not try this service

Click on the free sling they wanted a credit card. Then they charge me the $30.00 plus a 13.4% tax charge for the state of Fl. Fl state sales is only 6.25% this a over charge from the sling co, also Fl does not have a State Tax.

Annoyed
September 14, 2023

Not only did sling restart every two seconds they blamed my internet. None of the other streaming services have the issue. What was move annoying is that I feel scammed. Sling is selling customer free tv. What I mean by this is nick jr for example they use Pluto TV what is Free. A lot of there channels nosey for example that come free with every Samsung tv also for free

On top of this, the app is the worst app in history... I can't tell you how many games I recorded then watched... then it would skip around... nothing like knowing the score in the 4th quarter when you're watching the 1st quarter! No responses from them... I fning hate them

What a ripoff
December 2, 2022

I purchased this service in order to watch the World Cup. Since it showed that it had Fox Sport I went ahead with my purchase only to find out that I was unable to watch the game live. Instead they said I had to watch it the day after it aired. Little to say I looked elsewhere for my viewing. All I can say is this is a terrible streaming service and the customer service was rude when I called to inquire about this issue. I recommend getting YouTube TV, it's overall better and offers everything! F Sling TV, I wish I never googled you!

Have been a Sling customer for about 2 months now. Purchased a new fourth generation Apple TV so I could get the Sling APP. In the last month I have had significant problems with programs being watched just going black or loading endlessly. Sling customer support has told me to unplug the Apple TV, wait 10 seconds and plug it back in. Unfortunately I am now doing that multiple times a day. I also have a subscription thru the Apple TV for CBS All Access. I have had no such problems with that APP. I hope that Sling is able to work out the bugs because the concept of a la carte TV is much in demand. I intend to end my Sling soon.
