Comments on Sky News: Breaking, UK & World for Android

★★★★☆ Naveed Aslam · Jul 26, 2026

I don't want to see unnecessary ads at the bottom after the news. They ruin the whole experience of the app, and I'm also worried about the ads being scams.

★★★★★ Daniel Rodell (Dan) · Oct 16, 2026

2025: Appreciate the new UI a lot. Still lacks in the notification management department; would very much appreciate an AI or algorithmic approach to push notifications relevant to the individual. 2026: A year on, the UI has been completely refreshed again, and I'm a big fan. Great update with long-awaited features like tailored feeds and notifications based on your interests. Upgrading from 4 to 5 stars!

★★★★☆ Andrew Tindall · Aug 3, 2026

The 3 button bar display at the bottom of the Android screen changes the buttons to white on a white background when an article is clicked, thus making them invisible. The main articles page has black buttons properly displayed on a white background. This appears to be a navigation issue with Sky app rendition in Android 16 / HyperOS 3 on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro

★☆☆☆☆ James Gunstone · Oct 5, 2026

Used to enjoy using the app, but now there's more and more video content and less written articles, seems to be that now every time I click on a news story it's a video, which is a shame. I know that sky made this change consciously, but its made the app a bit redundant if you want to read about the news.

★☆☆☆☆ Kate Dobson · Oct 17, 2026

Uninstalling this app now. It used to be really good. Now it wants you to register/sign in - ok not the worst, but also wants you to register what you are interested in - stealth capture of my political views, ecomonic views, etc., etc. News articles are mostly videos with adverts beforehand that you cannot skip. I want to read news articles quietly and choose what and how much I read.

★☆☆☆☆ John Reed · Oct 9, 2026

Should Provide an option to disable all the video news feeds. If I want to watch news in a video format, I will switch my TV on. Many of your stories are video based. I like to read my news on an app, not try and watch some mini video clip. Most of your app is full of video feeds with no readable content. App is useless now for checking news discreetly. And now you have to sign in? Uninstalling as your app is loaded with ads, used to be my go-to news app, now it's just rubbish and looks a mess.
