Ratings and reviews

Pretty good. Room for improvement though. Does the job of streaming well. However, you can't switch between Sky box and Sky Go easily. I mean you can't start a show on Sky Go, and then be able to switch on the TV and carry it on from the same point on your Sky box. Indexing is a little strange, and I find it a little uncomfortable compared to other services. But I use it regularly, as it does the job well.

Update for 2025 - still the same from 2022!! It's the worst of all the on-demand/streaming apps. Clunky, slow, takes forever to load, constantly disconnects from the Sky Q box whilst in the middle of watching something, can't download a recorded programme because apparently I've downloaded if too many times even though it's the 1st attempt, ads ads & more ads when steaming a programmes, etc. The list just goes on, it's utter garbage but we're stuck with it!

Recording remotely is great. But available programmes often don't come up in the Sky Go app: e.g. today I searched for something that is on TV tonight but searching on Sky Go it only found it on demand. And even though two series are available when searching on Sky Q on the TV the app only found one series! And why does the TV guide in the app start at ITV/STV/etc. and not include BBC1 and BBC2?! A potentially great app that's let down by poor functionality, updates and maintenance.
