-If you are having trouble with audio or controlling your Slingbox after this update, please make sure the mute switch is not on, and try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. We are working on a fix for this issue.
-IMPORTANT: If you have a Slingbox SOLO or a Slingbox PRO-HD, after installing this update, you can’t connect to your Slingbox until you upgrade your Slingbox Software to the latest version (2.1.80 for PRO-HD and 2.1.110 for SOLO). You can do that by going to Setup on Slingbox.com (http://setup.slingbox.com) on a desktop or laptop computer.
-Adds High Quality (HQ) streaming. To stream in High Quality (HQ) mode outside your home, you need at least 800 kbps of bandwidth from your Slingbox to your iPhone when using a Wi-Fi connection, and at least 500 kbps with a 3G connection. To see available bandwidth within SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone, tap the SQ button, then the Options button. The current bandwidth displays in the lower left corner. You can test your home upload speed by using a web site such as www.speedtest.net on your home computer; test download speed at your current location by using the free Speedtest iPhone app. The total bandwidth available to SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone is limited to whichever is smaller: the upload speed, or the current download speed. If you don't have enough bandwidth for HQ mode, you can improve your viewing experience by pressing the SQ button to stream in Standard Quality.
-Users with the Slingbox Classic, Tuner, AV, and PRO can stream with this update, but they can’t use the High Quality (HQ) video mode. Users with these Slingbox models can also continue to use SlingPlayer Mobile for iPhone in Compatibility mode on the iPad.

PaulCohen,
Fails frequently with CarPlay and random crashed
On iOS 12 when in Audio only mode and attached to CarPlay as soon an something else grabs the Audio the app disconnects. To start app another Audio app has to be running and then the app can start and play audio until another CarPlay app (message, phone) takes the audio. When the app fails to start you need the kill it before you can start it again.
M1V22,
Needs drastic improvements
This app works just fine for watching TV, but needs more improvements for giving the best experience as its description is calming.
I got frustrated the instability of Chromecast integration. When I operated a remote (e.g. open menu), Chromecast app crush and went back to the stand-by screen.
Also, when I operate a remote on iOS app, it refreshes the screen each time. It’s really annoying and made me frustrated when I was browsing channels.
At last, the sound quality of TV streaming is really poor. Low volume sounds (e.g. whisper voice) are often cut and avoid you to focus on TV. As you can easily imagine, it’s extremely frustrating when you are watching music channels. Slingbox streams great musics as a garbage noise.
I really wish Slingbox team uses their app by themselves, experience how their users feel and fixes poor qualities of their products as soon as possible.

Mr lobo,
V4.0.3 much better
They finally updated support for the iPhone X and the streaming actually works really well, unlike the SlingTV app for local Channels.
The Gallery doesn’t seem to work anymore, and I would give it 5 stars except for the bug in the channel guide. When you swipe left to see the next show on a channel, the guide starts over from the top, so you have to scroll all the way back down again. Very annoying

Stephen8334,
Wish you would keep the service going...
Just found out the servers and all sling boxes are all shutting down effective November 9, 2022 and the service will no longer be available. Very sad to hear this. I’m using this with my Apple TV and it’s a wonderful product. Please keep the service going even if you decide to charge a small monthly fee which I feel is worth it. Drop a star to 4 stars because of this.
borik_k,
Worst app version I have ever used...
I have sling box for at least last 10 years and it always been very good, until this latest version. This app is ONLY usable when you are at home and use your own wi-fi, but it still fails to load gallery. It doesn’t work ANYWHERE else!!! Sometimes it streams sound, but most of the time it doesn’t even do that. Sling box doesn’t work on laptop, either, no mater if it’s MacBook or Windows. I sent feedback them many times, but nothing has changed. Looks like these guys want me to buy another box. Problem is it will not guarantee it will work again. I do NOT recommend their app!
TampaGuy,
Not Changing With the Times
Since the iOS 13 update, the Slingbox apps are useless. Sound alone from my home TV is heard without loading of the gallery and no video. There’s no functionality with OS Catalina either, rendering computer based watching equally useless. Similar trends holding true for other platforms as well. And because I’ve got a “legacy” Pro-HD, support for even other platforms is non-existent, essentially leaving my long-used Slingbox a brick. Their website offers no help, giving the impression that they’ve moved on to their other ventures, writing off their Slingbox technology. Please not be the case and update!
Antoney,
Much Welcomed Update!
Not perfect but a far and beyond improvement from the old outdated app. I literally placed my Slingbox 500 on Craig’s List because of the lack of software support but this update has given the device not only a stay but also new life! Thank goodness I never sold it.
And thank you Sling Media for not forgetting your customers.

The Big Show,
Love my Slingplayer
I’ve had a sling box for a few years and though using the remote is slow, it’s still reliable. Unlike my cable provider app which blocks a lot of programming once I’m away from home, sling has never failed to deliver. I wish they still made the boxes because they work great.
chrismb1,
HDMI hook up doesn’t work with iPhone anymore after a decade!!
Used my slingbox constantly hooked up in my car via hdmi to my iPhone. Now it barely works. Have to turn my phone side ways and it it doesn’t fill the big screen on my radio anymore it’s projected to. The older versions worked great, want to roll it back to old version how do we do that? This is terrible. You have to turn your screen sideways too to get to the remote icon too. Wow! It’s like hide and seek with this app. Start over.
yamanote,
Thank You!!!
Finally after so many years an update!! Thank you Thank You Thank you!!! This was a fossil app and now so much better. You guys are heroes!!! RESPECT. Been using original sling box so many years and nothing has ever matched it for place shifting. Please keep it up!!
