### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-03-28, version 4.1.11*

Having to log in every time to record something is ridiculous. Surely the developers can add something that remembers us?

### 2/5 — A very shoddy app.

*2026-03-13, version 4.1.11*

It constantly crashes, freezes won’t show you anything but the startup screen. Sky just reminding its customers that they have no options here in NZ.

### 1/5 — Almost unworkable

*2026-03-10, version 4.1.11*

### 1/5 — Hopelessly unreliable

*2026-01-31, version 4.1.11*

The app used to be a good product, but has become unreliable - either refuses to load, or has to login every time. Could be so useful, but needs a major overhaul.

### 3/5 — Won’t link to internet

*2026-01-20, version 4.1.11*

The last few days Sky TV Guide won’t connect with the internet on my iPad although everything else works on the internet every day. I need help!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-01-10, version 4.1.11*

What was a strong and reliable app is now well and truly broken. And same for all my extended family - stopped working in 2025 after update 9months ago - please fix this!
