I have verified that my phone tv and stream puck are all connected to the same wifi and yet the app doesn’t find it. But a 3rd party app identifies it instantly. How can a 3rd party successfully detect sky device but not sky’s own app. ### 4/5 — Great but… *2026-07-05* Great app for if you can’t find your remote but the lack of a volume control is incredibly frustrating. Just add it and the app will do everything needed to be perfect. ### 3/5 — Brilliant but needs volume control *2026-06-30* I understand it might be harder for volume control on the Sky Stream’s but it would be nice if there was at least volume control for the Glass ### 4/5 — love *2026-06-30* Connected instantly i didn’t even need to do any set up, no volume control which is annoying but otherwise it’s really good and works great ### 3/5 — Nearly, but not quite *2026-06-24* Nice and easy to set up and use, the UI is straightforward and works well. The only downside - and I’m afraid it’s a big one - STILL NO VOLUME CONTROL Come on Devs, it’s been over six months now, surely you can add a volume button? As someone else stated in their review, it would be a 5 star app with that addition ### 1/5 — No Volume Control or Voice Support - Disappointing!!! *2026-06-16* I don't understand why so many Sky Q users are downloading this app just to give it a one-star review. To be clear, this app is exclusively for Sky Glass and Sky Stream users. Anyway, I installed it to use with my Sky Glass, but it lacks both volume control and voice support. It only offers the most basic functions. Very disappointing! ### 3/5 — Decent but needs improvements *2026-06-06* Has basic function except there is no volume control!! Also could have a voice recognition activation button ### 2/5 — No volume control *2026-05-20* Hugely disappointed this app cannot control volume or even mute. Already sky glass voice control is unreliable using volume control or muting (often says can’t do this) but to introduce a remote control that can’t support volume control is poor. As a result will probably not use. ## Frequently asked questions about Sky Remote ### Does Sky Remote work with Sky Q? No, the application explicitly states it is not compatible with Sky Q.
