Broken

Since the last update they have made a good app slow and sluggish.

Rubbish App

After every two days I have to uninstall and install app which is very annoying. I never had to do that virgin media app.

i can’t overstate how bad this app is

It is intentionally impossible to find anything you want to watch. Hungarian GP qualifying just finished and there is literally no way to go back and watch it. Horrendously put together app.

Adverts spoiling things yet again

For the amount Sky costs you’d think they’d stop with this. But the ads are relentless. You’re forced to watch half a minute of them before you can skip, which is worse than watching at home, and if you’re searching for a specific moment in a show it’ll trip the adverts every time you search ahead, making it impossible to just find a part of a show if you’re trying to check something, a purpose for which it is unusable. Poor, greedy, and now deleted.

So flakey

The app doesn’t stay connected to devices. Can’t watch recorded programmes because it doesn’t connect to the Sky Q box. If it does happen to connect, it usually loses connection in the middle of a show. Trying to use it on a laptop is just as bad, most of the time it doesn’t even load

Worst app ever made

Doesn’t work when you want to stream. Even worse if you are not on your home WiFi. Avoid

Works well

App works well, allowing me to watch tv whilst on the go with work.

Paying lots of money to watch an ad before changing channel

You should not have to pay over £100 for all the channels just to have to watch an advert every time you want to change channel. That is a disgrace which sums up Sky, not remotely value for money. Apps like Netflix and Disney + are much better

Sky Go Update

How about new update with 1080p HD

Sky News

Sky News is apparently no longer available on the Sky Go iPad app.

I have waited 2am and it’s not working

Freeze or Crash, Generally OK

Generally, I find this app to be ok but it seems to have a lot of issues such as errors causing you to be kicked out of the program you’re watching or regular freezing - my internet and iPad seem to handle everything else so why is this app a problem?

Peter

I travel a great deal and the app provides me the opportunity to watch and listen to my favourite program’s.

Not as good as the Netflix app when travelling

Just a pain to travel with. I go to the bother of downloading the programmes I want to watch in advance. It then just hangs or takes an age to start the downloaded progs. It can’t be that hard surely

Linking with TV

Over all sky go is good but you can’t purchase movies on app
You have to do it on the TV, it would be good to change it so you can purchase on app, thank you.

T20 cricket

An excellent transmission. Very clear with no hitches.

Shoddy app when it comes to low bandwidth situations

Overall the app is pretty looking and functionally fine, finding things is easy and the channel list is akin to that on the puck, where is fails is in it’s recovery on mobile data you’ll be watching and it locks up with no obvious signs retrying, that seems lazy to me.

Sky G

Great TV and support from Sky, what’s not to like.

Review

Amazing

Good

I just realised you can use it to watch all channels live including non-sky ones as long as they’re in your package, brilliant
