Constantly telling me when I try to open the app that I have no Internet connection when in fact I do have 1 which works fine for any other app/website access. Reinstalling, cache clearing, or force stoping doesn't fix the issue and others are having the same problem. The strange thing is that when this happens, the live section will load and work but nothing else so no top stories, videos, ect. Does same thing on data. Your CANNED email suggestion reply was useless, tips don't work.

Like many news apps, every article is death and destruction, or scandal and celebrity shaming. Where is the good news?? Also, the app contains too many ads and links to unrelated stuff, like puzzle apps?? What's that about? If Sky News creates a page JUST for good news - I'll reinstall the app. Otherwise, the news is just too depressing!

Suddenly after using it for years on this and other devices, it often refuses to load, stating my wifi or connection is broken, yet it's the same in WiFi or mobile data. Clearing the cache sometimes works, but then it will stop again after a while. All other Internet connected apps work whilst this one doesn't, so I don't believe it's my phone at fault.
