The video player now includes a handy “watch from the beginning” button, and it includes quick access to video quality settings.The on-demand menu has received a visual overhaul and now has filters for your watchlist, movies, TV shows, and kids programming.
This menu includes a clearer explanation of how Sling decides which recordings to delete when you run out of storage, and it adds a trash bin for recovering programs you’ve deleted by accident. Sling replaced its old Sports tab with a shortcut to its cloud DVR, which means you won’t need to dig through the home screen to find it.Sling has also trimmed its list of channel filters, so they all fit in a set of tabs at the top of the screen. The grid guide has one-click commands to mark channels as favorites or record individual programs, and each channel expands to show program information when you highlight it.New Sling TV app on the left, old app on the right. The home screen has more of a focus on what’s new, highlighting your most-watched channels, recent recordings, and upcoming shows you might want to record.Sling has also made some big improvements to each of its menu sections: I also like the use of icons to distinguish between live and recorded programs, along the way Sling explains its recommendations with phrases like “Trending” and “You Might Like.” Overall, everything’s a lot easier to read and understand. Text is bigger and brighter, the new deep-blue background looks less drab than the old gray, and the app uses more rounded edges throughout. Sling has replaced its top menu tabs with a left sidebar, and it uses varying thumbnail sizes to break up the monotony as you’re scrolling along.
