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

★★★★★ Lynne Cervantes · Apr 2, 2026

So far so good! Found you by watching Rita Panahi. I love her show n just know I'm going to love the app as well. Thank you, Rita!

★★★★☆ A Google user · Aug 2, 2026

Main source for breaking news for myself.

★★★★☆ 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

★★☆☆☆ Julie Edmonds · Jul 26, 2026

I've used the Sky News app for years, but recently it's become far too video-focused. I want to be able to quickly read the headlines, not watch a video for every story. Because of this I've switched to the BBC app. Please bring back a text option or let users choose between text and video.

★★☆☆☆ russell barford · May 16, 2026

This app used to be quite good, but now it seems like every story is a video. I like to read the news not watch videos.

★☆☆☆☆ Andy Smith · Apr 18, 2026

Have used this app for years as enjoyed the articles and coverage. However it is now bloated with adverts which are becoming more indistinguishable to the news articles. More and more stories are now video only and to watch them its more adverts and very buggy. Shame but will be moving to BBC and I urge everyone else to do so
