## Sky Go Reviews in New Zealand

### *---- "Wish 0 stars was an option"
Only works with good internet connection, even then drops out regularly or doesn’t even load. Very hard to navigate films and shows without searching for specifics you found using the web. Wouldn’t want to be sky when the other players step up because they are well behind the game.
-- Flatty killer, 2024-12-29

### *---- "Worst App Ever"
Impossible to watch sport on the app. Freezes every 60 seconds, connection drops out constantly. Chrome cast rarely works. 

Will be finding another way to watch sport and genuinely hope Sky goes out of business
-- CRDW1234, 2024-12-28

### *---- "smh"
Genuinely the most unusable app I have ever had to deal with as I was trying to register not only did it not send me the email but it then didn’t let me try it again saying that there was some error or something like that so I’m pretty annoyed right now because I’m just trying to watch the BBL and this tin can “ahh” app is just casually ruining my night so I am STOKED to say the least.
-- Lé Goat, 2024-12-18

### *---- "They just don’t care"
Not willing to invest in fixing this broken app. Has monopoly written all over it. But instead a overpriced, mid, rip off brand called Minoppoly
-- SamboWelly, 2024-12-15

### *---- "Useless if I could even half a star it be you much"
Half a star would be too much
-- Daveysdoll, 2024-12-13

### *---- "Update not working"
Loved being in an infinite loop between the app telling me it needed to be updated and the App Store saying it had been updated.
-- Kw83_1, 2024-12-12

### *---- "I can’t watch anything anymore."
It has asked me to download updated version but my device needs to update but it won’t let me update. Says it will download latest compatable download but it doesn’t work just keeps saying same thing. I guess this is the end....or buy a new device which I’ll be struggling to afford at this time of year.
-- Nallottneo56, 2024-11-27

### *---- "Absolute Rubbish for Live Streaming"
Do not get a Sky subscription with the intention of watching live sport on this app. It has been broken for years. There is something seriously wrong with how it buffers (or rather fails to). The picture freezes, sound continues and then screen goes blank. Occasionally it comes back only to fail seconds later. Only strategy is to leave stream and re-enter. It then fails again, sometimes in seconds. I gave up counting retries after 50 in a recent All Blacks test. It is not quite as bad for F1, perhaps because fewer people are using it but is still an agonisingly frustrating experience.
-- QeeWee, 2024-11-23

### *---- "Still a pile of junk"
Doesn’t AirPlay most of the time, if they would release an AppleTV app (that actually worked) this app being a disaster would be less of an issue, your paying a fortune for something that doesn’t work properly. If they plan of seeing a future they need to sort this app and get with 2024.
-- Robbiekrnz, 2024-11-22

### *---- "Worst app"
Worst app ever to stream sports when not connected to wifi.
-- Ivann Jacobs, 2024-11-22

### *---- "Poor Streaming Service"
Given the time we are living in and the dinosaur-ing of Sky Box’s we all once used to use, the primary way I use Sky is by casting it to the TV. I have always had issues with the app, where I would click to cast a channel and it a) won’t cast it at all or b) stream a completely different channel. More complications happen when you try to either pause, rewind or just go back into the app to see what else is playing on other channels. Without fail, every time I click back into the Sky app when I am casting to the TV, it ALWAYS changes channel to something completely different. There are numerous bugs and difficulties riddled with this app that need some serious attention to fixing and developing. As a “leader” in NZ TV broadcasting, this is the last thing you would expect.
-- Nickname10458923, 2024-11-19

### *---- "Sky box"
The  new sky box is the most frustrating electronic gadget ever what are you thinking
-- Old and irritable, 2024-11-15

### *---- "Almost every download has audio syncing issues"
Worst streaming app I’ve ever used. To get halfway through a movie and all of a sudden it’s playing audio from a completely different part of the movie. Also, if you’re downloading long stuff, don’t minimise the app and expect it to keep on working seamlessly.
-- Texan cigar, 2024-11-14

### *---- "This is currently unwatchable. I E it doesn’t work at all."
This app is unwatchable. It doesn’t work at all. Please fix it.
-- Really Fed Up1, 2024-11-07

### *---- "Rename to crash bandicoot"
What a rubbish app. Just keeps crashing. No wonder people are leaving sky in droves.
-- Demo70, 2024-11-03

### *---- "Won’t even load"
The app won’t even load. It opens, I see it and then it says something went wrong please retry. Waste of time having it on my phone
-- Fringelou, 2024-11-03

### *---- "Barely usable"
This app has become barely usable now. Seriously thinking about dropping sky off household budget and getting Disney or prime instead.
Sky Go all has become waste of time
-- Blitz0111, 2024-11-02

### *---- "Chromecast"
Can&#039;t cast. But can on the iPad. Very odd. Is there a change coming to this?
-- Dougy199, 2024-11-01

### *---- "Sky Go freezing on sports channels"
Trying to watch supercars however transmission keeps freezing only happens on sport channels
-- kevisimp, 2024-10-26

### *---- "Cannot access on phone"
It just jams and locks and goes nowhere
-- Cribby1967, 2024-10-24
