Dark mode

Did someone forget to include dark mode in the latest update?? Please return it as I cannot use the app as is …

No news

Sky News used to be my go to news service but recently the app just seems to be full of videos and adverts for other videos and other Sky shows. So much so I’ve actually deleted the app and going to a news service that actually provides news.

Dark mode gone

I have had Sky news installed for as long as I can remember and had it in dark mode. Since last app update its now normal mode and there appears to be no way to change it. Really disappointed

Too many adverts

Enjoy sky news but too many adverts in the middle of text, some very flashy not good for my eyes or reading just before sleep!
Too lengthy adverts before video news and cannot skip them. Do not look at video now!
Too many news stories from other media and then requiring accounts.

Dark/ night mode

What happened to dark/ night mode? Screen way too bright to read before bed now! Gutted!
