Update ruined it
Very rarely works. Since an update. Doesn’t load up programmes. Always need to restart app
Ads
I would like it if you could make adds shorter
Poor
No innovation for years and then this upgrade produces a poorer version. The channel list continuously comes up with No channels so you have to keep restarting the app. Along with a poor UI on the sky boxes, poor WiFi and mesh network between sky q boxes and a poor design to the hardware, some focus on products would be helpful.

Too many adverts
Too many adverts when you first open up the app! Keeps freezing and needs deleting and reinstalling.
Unable to connect to sky q
Post update stops connecting to sky q box on iPad
Why does this work sometimes
Why do I go for months watching Sky Go on tablet and it’s fine, and then stops working suddenly. I am recording programmes on Sky Q box and having to watch BBC ones on I player and ITV ones on ITV X where they work fine. Sooo frustrating
Terrible
What is says is on in the schedule is too often different than what is being shown.
Barely works
Doesn’t download anymore, new restrictions are a pain the backside. The guide stops working altogether at times, on demand services are riddled with adverts. There are less ads on free YouTube.
No red button extras, no way of setting up a device pin. Useless.

What’s with the stupid app name now?

Watching Sky Go in Hospital
Brilliant so glad I have this there is no tv in Hospital and would have been board stiff without this app.
Terrible
With this new app update I can no longer watch anything, as when you press play it’s just the ‘loading’ icon spinning round. At the extortionate prices of sky package, you’d think the least they could do is make an app fit for purppose
Pay for Sky but can’t watch it on Apple TV
Pay for Sky but can’t watch it on Apple TV - a rip off.
Ads!
Let’s say I’m watching a live game on my iPad. I’ll have to watch an advert before getting to the live stream to potentially tune in during an advert. If I accidentally close the app or WiFi issues etc I’ll need to watch an ad before continuing a live game! Likewise if I want to watch an episode from a half way point you watch an ad, forward the show and get a 3 min add. What for £100 odd pound a month and no screen share. In regards to the app itself… poor

Latest update is awful
Since updating nothing will play. It keeps crashing absolutely dismal
Why Download if I Have to Reconnect
Every time I travel I download a film to watch on the plane, go to watch file, I’m not allowed till I connect to Sky …. I’m in a plane ?!!
Nah
The app for MacBook is the worst app I’ve ever used, crash after crash
Doesn’t work
I got logged out of the app and can’t get back in on either iPhone or iPad - absolutely useless.
Introducing bugs
The last few updates of Kindle has introduced more bugs than it has fixed. From always resetting in light mode to forgetting what book was being read. They must improve their testing process before a release.
Just a vehicle for advertising now
The Sky Go app has never been great. Poor UI, sluggish interaction and normally quite poor video quality. But it was OKish.
Now, it’s just completely broken with diabolically bad advertising rammed down your throat all the time.
If you fastforward or rewind, the app will immediately skip to a two-minute ad break, even if you’ve just seen one.
If, as happened to me just now, you fastforward to a second before an ad break, you’ll get
Two minutes of ads (for fastforwarding)
One second of content
Two minutes of ads
Sky subs cost a bucketload of money now, even for a relatively basic package. Having to sit through endless ads (mainly for other Sky programmes, Sky Bet and Sky mobile/broadband) is beyond annoying.
So whereas the old, laggy, blurry app was Ok, now it’s slow, laggy, blurry EXCEPT FOR the tonnes of ads.
Can’t really recommend it.
(And why IS the ad content so much better visually than the programme content?)
