Never worked

Purchased a doorbell 3 weeks ago however this app has never worked! Avoid like the plague!

Not brilliant

I extended the Ethernet so
The chime is now closer to the doorbell-but still it won’t show me who has been at the door - sometimes it does and sometimes it just won’t it’s very frustrating to be honest I’ve rebooted a few times but still not great

No help at all

Got this, won’t log in. Told they would phone, haven’t. I called again, apparently I’ll get a message when it’s working ?! 2 weeks, nothing. Genuinely the worst customer service for a massive tech company I’ve seen. Then they have the cheek to charge a quid less for new customers….. 🫪

Doesn’t work

App doesn’t log in no matter what, apparently known issue for weeks but still selling the doorbell, been told 7-10 days till issue fixed, won’t hold my breath going by reviews from a month ago says 7-10 days to fix and still not fixed, and the the reply below I have contact yourselfs and that’s what yous have told me it just doesn’t work poor service expected better from sky

it’s 2026 FFS!

The shortest possible power and data leads and no means of powering main doorbell beyond its short battery. Oh and unable to extend system as none of the components are available to buy separately. Genius!

Doorbell

DO NOT BUY - sky actively let me pay and receive something that I can’t even set up as their app is broken and they have no timeline for repair! Yet I can’t cancel it and order a different make for home security as I can’t cancel the sky one until I’ve set it up! Go figure!! Diabolical service and very sneaky still selling them! I REPEAT DO NOT BUY

This app is rubbish

This app is rubbish, contacted sky and was told they are working on it but i have paid for the doorbell that wont work without the app so not impressed with the way sky sell items before the app is up and running properly
Sort it out sky or the doorbell will be returned.

Not happy

I’m not happy with it ever since I’ve got it. It doesn’t keep its charge. Be honest it’s been a bloody nightmare with it. I’m not happy. Thought I was getting a good deal but doesn’t look like it.

Won’t work

Carnt install app won’t work,

App not working

Bought went to sign into app and you get a message saying there is an internal problem, shocking from a multi million pound company
Doorbell is worthless without a subscription

When can we log in

Had the kit a few days now, still can’t log into the app to actually use it! Apparently an internal error occurred and I should try again, which I did….. again and again and again and again and again…… and again. No luck, will wait for a response from sky - won’t hold my breath

App hasn’t worked from the very start

App hasn’t ever worked. Paid upfront for the doorbell, chime, indoor camera and SmartHome+ subscription only to find I cannot use any of them as the app won’t allow me to log in. Contacted the “help” centre via web chat (as this is the ONLY way you are able to) for the past 3 days, to be repeatedly told that the back office team are working on the issue and I will be notified when it is working again.
No timescales, no escalation process, no apology, nothing.
So far, very unimpressed

Very bad apps

Very bad apps

Absolute rubbish - No Stars!!

Absolute rubbish, when connecting to the App it just crashes and won’t let you in!!!

Reading through the forums everyone is in the same boat and Sky still take the £4.00 per month!!

Don’t buy the doorbell

The app doesn’t work

Not working unable to log in

Just brought doorbell and cannot set it up useless without the app

Hopeless

No way of talking to a person who can help.

Total waste of money

Does not work at all, tried talking to support who say they are resolving issue however 2 weeks later nothing has been resolved and no further assistance from Sky…Absolute waste of money, with complete lack of customer service…

App not working

So I purchased the sky doorbell and camera and set it all up and then went to finish the set up in the app only to find the app not working and an “internal error” causing issues and having been on the phone to sky for hours and hours being told four times now it will be fixed and someone will call you back and it’s still not fixed!!

Sky can’t even fix an internal error!! Ridiculous

App not working

New Bell - won’t set up, “ no experts within the new home app or doors bells to talk to” Clueless responses, when your new fast fibre is fitted it will work !? Why sell something that’s isn’t fit for purpose.
Refund and Complaint made as this is a farce reading reviews, and SKy continuing to sell devices that do not work.
