Just tried it to re-confirm. Don't select Xbox version. If you leave it on PC, it will show the proper/accurate results.
I used the Xbox button.
ETA: I double checked - the PC button and the Xbox button give the exact same results for the same seeds. The ONLY difference is that the size of the map using the Xbox button is limited to the size of the Xbox world.

There are many ways to mine for Slimes, but I've NEVER had issues with my methods after finding out a few tips and tricks.
Firstly, use Chunkbase Slime Finder app to locate either 1 slime chunk, or a few close to where you usually have your main base of operations. Dig straight down to level 40 and clear out everything within the slime chunk coordinates. Then mine down to about level 35 and there's one level. Slimes might begin to spawn here provided you light up the area enough to cancel out hostile mob spawn rates. After you've finished, go down another 5 levels so the floor of the first becomes the ceiling of the second. Mine out the entire chunk and keep doing this until you reach bedrock. You maximise your chances of finding some Slimes this way as you're utilising the same space over a wider vertical range.
Just remember the main points:
Find a Slime chunk close to your house/base,
Dig out the exact size of the 16 x 16 chunk for the Slimes to spawn,
Have the height of the room about 5 blocks to maximise the chances of larger Slimes spawning,
Light up the entire area; this ensures that no hostile mobs spawn which lower the spawn chances for Slimes,
Layer the rooms exactly on top of each other until you get to bedrock so you make full use of the available space.
Follow the checklist above, and the mini tutorial I've written and you'll have more Slimes and slimeballs you could ever deal with.
The rooms only need to be three high for big slimes, so four blocks per floor is good. Any more is just extra work.

Must have been user error on my part.
No, wait! I'll blame it on the chrome browser on my tablet! Yeah, that's the ticket! I just didn't update the seed after punching it in, so when I clicked next after inputting my location, it just used the random seed that was already there.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
Well, you're not alone... I spoke from the voice of experience. They should have the app show you right on the chart somewhere the seed that was calculated. That way a person could verify that 1) it's not just still calculating a random seed and 2) the seed string was typed in correctly.
