Ratings and reviews

Not only does sky cost a lot but out of all the channels you do have not one of them has a decent series or film to watch. The only sky channel that is on in our house is nickelodeon hardly worth having, if it weren't for my boys I would have canceled years ago. The sky go app is annoying keeps loading and booting me out when it loads the adverts the ad plays ok but causes the actual series I'm watching to crash. Sky has been around for years yet are worse much worse than the netflix

While the streaming is good, the user experience could be massively improved, especially for phone users. To watch a programme the viewer will hold the device in landscape format, but the guide is always in portrait. This may be ok for some but is annoying if the device is in a cradle or stand.

App has so much potential, yet falls short in areas. For a long time I've been having issues with watching recordings - lots of buffering, error messages & being kicked out, as well as screen being dark, even when phone brightness is max. The best way I found to reduce buffering was to repeatedly force stop & clear cache. I was forced to update app today & both buffering & darkness are even worse, unbearable to watch...or try to!! It would also be great to be able to get subtitles in recordings
