User reviews

Summer negligence

All their main programmes are on holiday, except The Wrap, and yet they can’t even be bothered to make the full programme available for streaming—only the newspaper review section. As someone who used to watch it religiously every morning, I feel rather neglected!

Too many podcasts

I want to read the news, not listen or view videos. Gone massively wrong.

Stop the barrage of videos

Please just revert to concise written news reports. I like many others it seems do not have time to waste on video clips.

Too many videos (and adverts)

I used to like the Sky News App but have now deleted from my phone. Most of the news articles are videos (with no option to read the article instead). If you select ‘play’ you’re usually greeted with an ad. Perhaps I’m just getting old but, whatever, I’ve enough, it’s not for me anymore.
