### 4/5 — Zoom

*2026-03-29, version 1.8.425*

Estaría bn si se pudiera ajustar el zoom desde aquí y no desde el celular

### 2/5 — SlingStudio

*2025-12-10, version 1.8.425*

There is a problem with the livestream because the screen keeps blinking in and out and no matter what I’ve done nothing fixed the issues. I have updated the slingstudio app, deleted and reinstalled the app, factory reset the console and it still does the same thing. Overall it is a great streaming program if they would fix the connection issues with the screens.

### 3/5 — No funciona Facebook

*2023-06-11, version 1.8.425*

No me deja transmitir en Facebook nomas en YouTube que puedo hacer.…?

### 5/5 — Great love it

*2023-01-09, version 1.8.425*

The best ever my best choice ever

### 5/5 — Sling Studio

*2022-09-29, version 1.8.425*

This is the best system. I wish they would start making them again. Or sell the technology to some who will. For streaming nothing comes close to this mult-cam system period.

### 5/5 — Amazing system!!!

*2022-09-15, version 1.8.425*

Sling Studio is an absolute amazing system, makes our job of filming funerals such a breeze.  Would love some more features where you could take a photo and import that straight into the sling or upload a video from email.   Hoping the keep developing the system, as it’s one we can’t live without…

### 4/5 — software

*2022-08-02, version 1.8.419*

I hope they continue to update the software with added improvements to flow and add-ons. Hardware has been excellent and very durable as I stream football games.  I would love to have better lower thirds and graphics as well integrated scoreboards.  I fear the developers will not continue with improvements.  Good value.

### 4/5 — Good but buggy

*2022-07-24, version 1.8.419*

Has been a good system to use, but a couple of prominent issues: the app will occasionally close out unexpectedly. Doesn’t interrupt the stream, but a little annoying. Also, the split screen function sometimes freezes up and doesn’t work.

### 4/5 — Probleme avec facebook

*2022-07-17, version 1.8.419*

Les mise a jours sont pas a jour

### 2/5 — Needs Updates!

*2022-02-25, version 1.8.419*

I have been using sling since the beginning of 2020 and ever since apple changed their iOS system in late 2020 I have been having horrible glitches and crashes on my iPads and laptop!

### 3/5 — App crashes

*2022-02-13, version 1.8.419*

Recent the app has been crashing in the middle of our stream. App is up to date as well as OS

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2024-08-04, version 1.8.425*

Got this app and streaming system for live streaming… now it doesn’t let us live stream about 75% of the time. Need some serious fixes for me to be happy with this!

No working

### 1/5 — SlingStudio No Longer in Business

*2023-08-28, version 1.8.425*

I purchased my Sling Studio in September 2019 and it does still work but the SlingStudio company no longer exists. Dish Network owns the myslingstudio.com domain and there are no more sales of the SS nor any of the parts or accessories. If your unit breaks down, you’re screwed. Fortunately my unit is still working seamlessly however the Wi-Fi speed test check on the app doesn’t work anymore and the app hasn’t been updated in over a year. I suppose the app will eventually become obsolete when it can’t update anymore with the newer iOS updates. Then the entire SS  console and hub will become utterly useless. I bought my SS for $2500 and my investment will be gone and I’ll be forced to purchase a different kind of streaming solution and switcher. I do love the SS unit and wish they didn’t go out of business and it’s very disappointed they did it without notice one year after I bought the unit and left their customers high and dry and with no compensation. Feels like a scam.

### 1/5 — Help was rejected?!

*2023-08-03, version 1.8.425*

Our sling studio quit putting audio over our livestreams and recordings. We have done everything the website suggest and nothing helps. We’ve tried contacting them and everything, it says we are rejected with no other way of contact.

I spoke to someone who either was miss spelling my name or did not know how to resolve the problem and told me to call back. a lot of help and support that was.
