Terrible editing by a two year old

Grammar, spelling and punctuation very poor across most stories. Cut and paste is so obvious and always has lots of mistakes. My cat could do better.

Unrequested ads that pop up in a new browser window at the slightest touch have ruined this app. I will be uninstalling I think.

Ruined

This app is now mainly just a collection of videos. I used to enjoy reading the news on Sky but now it’s nearly all videos. I will find a different place to read the news.

Now just permanently broken

This app now fails to fully load the home page with 60% of items greyed out and unresponsive to touch input. This is happening on three iPad Pros running OS 16.7.16 All other apps, BBCNews, CNN, YouTube, iPlayer, etc, etc working fine. If this is a case of only the latest iPad OS being fully supported/no legacy OS support and I have to choose between a new iPad and a functional Sky News app, so be it. Sky lose out!
