Ratings and reviews

Awful. Bearing in mind, this app is part of a paid for subscription service, the constant forcing of ads every time you try to play a show, irrespective of how long it has been since you last saw one, with no option to skip until 30-40s in is unacceptable in an app that runs on a phone. You know, the kind of device upon which you might watch Sky on the Go, and not want an ad break every time you have to turn the screen off. Also won't cast, as if it's 2002 and multiscreen needs protection.

When compared to others, this app is lacking! Can't watch when travelling or recorded shows. Even if in home country, but use VPN for security while staying in hotel, most of the time it doesn't connect. Netflix, Disney and others, allow you use their app while travelling plus allow security of VPN. If you watch shows, you are forced to watch 30secs of ads; something you don't have to on SkyQ. Overall, very disappointed considering the money paid for subscription. Improvement needed.

A hit & miss experience for me. So often, whilst I'm using the app at home (via Sky broadband) the feed freezes. Sometimes it's just the picture that freezes whilst the audio continues. It's also somewhat frustrating that A) the favourites from my account don't appear here, and B) I'm paying £5 per month to skip ads but it's impossible to skip ads on to the app! And, when I need to restart the stream after it's frozen, I'm forced to watch an ad before I can resume the show that got interrupted.

What’s new
