Ratings and reviews

Easily the worst app I've ever used. It's slow to load, notifications are unreliable, some text fields are completely blank when they should clearly display a yes or no value, and text input fields only show one line at a time while typing. The UI feels outdated. This app is a disappointment — it shouldn't even be in beta; it should still be in active development. I'd give zero stars if I could.

Despite it mostly working fine on my iPad, this app runs very poorly on my Samsung S25. After countless updates applied, stability worsened; notifications won't work after a week, and the whole app crashes while viewing messages and my shifts. Clearing data and cache only works for a bit then it's back to bugging out. And the buttons for putting my shift up makes the text unreadable.

I gave sling 3 stars because it can be a great asset easy to use, access to my schedule and updates to it show up in real time, I can see open shifts and request them BUT the bugs are no fixed, like today I picked up 2 shift and can't get to my schedule to see if they approved them because all the buttons at the bottom of the screen dont work. all I can do is look through the notifications. Can't see any other pages or click any tab. This happen on and off I close the app and still doesn't work
