hey there it's michael and i'm back
0:01
today with a quick update to my sling tv
0:04
app review because sling tv has listened
0:07
and is taking action about one of the
0:10
biggest complaints about this new app
0:13
less than a month ago when i reviewed
0:15
the new app i mentioned how channel
0:16
surfing functions disappeared if you've
0:19
used that channel surfing function for a
0:21
couple of years or so and all of a
0:23
sudden you can't use it anymore
0:25
that's going to affect the user
0:27
experience in a negative way first look
0:30
at the old app while watching a program
0:32
with one click you could either view the
0:34
full guide or the mini guide along the
0:37
bottom of the screen but when the new
0:39
app launched all you could see was
0:41
recent channels not the full guide or
0:43
even the mini guide but as i mentioned
0:45
sling tvs made some quick changes and
0:48
now when you click down during a live
0:50
program with the new app you'll see
0:52
those recent channels but also the
0:54
option to see all channels so this is
0:57
kind of a version of the mini guide now
0:59
this mini guide is not quite like the
1:01
old app which was more text heavy and
1:04
had more sorting features but it does
1:06
give you access with the new app to all
1:09
channels from a program when i recorded
1:12
my initial review i asked you to leave
1:14
your comments because sling tv told me
1:16
they would be taking into consideration
1:18
your feedback and making changes and the
1:20
number one feature requested was
1:23
bringing back the channel surfing
1:24
features if you have more feedback on
1:27
the new app of course you can leave a
1:28
comment below or go directly to sling tv
1:31
that's probably the best method in fact
1:33
when i went to give feedback on the
1:35
browsing of the channel guide i saw
1:37
there's a shortcut and that to me
1:39
indicates that a lot of people have been
1:41
contacting sling about this issue so
1:43
we've got some progress sling tv is
1:46
responding to the complaints from users
1:49
about the new app and already making
1:51
changes what other changes would you
1:53
like to see let me know down in the
1:55
comments and i'll see you back here soon
