Review

No follow up on stories. Too many ‘podcasts’. I don’t want to hear someone talking about news. Too many adverts you ‘accidentally’ hit while scrolling. Poor!

Messy and bad video

What’s happening here? It’s clear there is now more video than actual articles, and the video player is terrible. There are adverts before every one, and they waste my time. I also find the app very messy to navigate now with all the videos and duplication. This used to be my main news app while commuting for good overview of the news, but not anymore.

Too much video now

App was much better before they added all the video and pod casts. There were more stories to read. Now Sky has decided to cater to the Tik Tok generation who only have a few seconds of attention rather than continuing to provide real news analysis in written form. Shame.

Bias and repetition

Since Andy Burnham became PM, I’ve noticed Sky News question everything he does, and go into great detail about say how can he afford this policy or that policy, and the reporters seemingly undermining everything he says.
Do not recall this type of journalism when the ruinous Tory Party was in power.
Blatant bias I’d say.
Also, as you scroll down the news feeds, the same story pops up again and again- WHY???
