## Sky News Australia Reviews in Australia

### ***** "Best news app in Australia"
Excellent news coverage
-- Australia: Marketing Agency, 2024-12-31

### *---- "Garbage"
It’s nothing but a source of lies or at best distortion of news.
-- DeanOz70, 2024-12-23

### *---- "Sigh"
Something is definitely wrong with this app. Whenever I’d open it I was bombarded with a swathe of right wing kooks running what seemed like a never ending infomercial for the Liberal Party and their ilk. I mistakenly thought as the app was called “Sky NEWS” it would actually be “news” but, alas it is mere opinion dressed up as news. This Murdoch swill is a solid wall (especially in the evening) of biased right wing nut jobs preaching to the converted. Sky News has descended into such farce that it is now nothing more than a right wing echo chamber where those who already believe this nonsense, come back to the trough for their daily recharge of Murdoch swill. During the day it’s ok but after dark and on weekends it’s insufferable. Also, commercials on a station you’re already paying to watch? Cancelled!
-- Craig from Australia, 2024-12-21

### ***-- "Great content; painfully slow"
Really appreciate the great content delivered via the app, but after 5 minutes of use the app goes into ‘think’ mode and becomes slow and (sometimes) unresponsive. Don’t think it’s my wi-fi.
-- Dockers1, 2024-12-17

### ***** "Excellent news service and app"
It’s so good to have a fresh alternative view to the news. No wonder Sky has the biggest increase in subscribers this year. No one else holds the current govt to task as much as Sky. Keep up the great work!
-- nehugg, 2024-12-09

### *---- "Start over"
Great content,  terrible app. Lacks proper audio integration.  Often out of sync and annoying audio jitters. Cheap and nasty.  Use flash.
-- Woody3366, 2024-12-07

### **--- "Sky News Australia app"
The app glitches most times.
-- Grutzj, 2024-12-05

### *---- "Does not work on Apple TV"
Tried setting this up on Apple TV for my Mum but it says “Unable to load remote content” doesn’t seem to be wifi related as it works fine on iPhone/iPad
-- Angus_T, 2024-12-04

### *---- "Poor"
Can’t login can’t find account can’t find shows
-- Askkstt, 2024-11-26

### **--- "Trump"
Please why every single morning we have to talk about Trump ?
Why don’t we talk about what heppining in our country!
I have to read on the bottom of the screen what’s happening in
our cities.
Shame on you Sky News.
-- il torrese, 2024-11-25

### *---- "App does not work with Apple TV"
After downloading the app to my Apple TV, and selecting it, the message says it all: 
Cannot download from this service.

Sky News may be a good news outlet, but it is moot when you cannot stream it.

If I could select a “0” star, I would.
-- mstr_cmdr, 2024-11-16

### ****- "Automatic video."
I subscribe to stream Sky News as I love The Late Debate. When I go to this app to read the articles videos start playing even though I have not hit the stream button. I may have to go to Flash if this continues.
-- Canny yatton., 2024-11-11

### *---- "fake news"
if you want to hear disinformation everyday, come on in. biased towards right wing lunatics
-- Michael7310, 2024-11-08

### *---- "Broken on AppleTV"
Fails to load on Apple TV.   Support don’t know when or if when it will be fixed.   No timeline.  Last AppleTV version released in 2019.  What’s the refund process?
-- Gkuhnert, 2024-10-25

### **--- "Waiting, waiting, waiting …"
Used to watch the Sky programmes on Flash but had to look for other options when they were no longer available via that platform.  Signed up to watch via Sky News app BUT all we ever end up doing is waiting for it to be available to stream.  Very frustrating that decent and reliable options are seemingly now unavailable for Sky News programming!
-- fungooleyruley, 2024-10-20

### *---- "Disappointing"
Stupid app suddenly stopped us from streaming with the claim we are outside of Australia (which we aren’t). Also takes them ages to upload latest content.
-- Scampenstein, 2024-10-20

### **--- "App seems to lack common conventions"
I have this app on both my phone and my tablet, using the same account. For some reason when I save something to watch later, it only saves on the device I save it on. This is the lack of a pretty basic feature. If Sky News doesn't want to allow these sort of choices to save to my account and sync to my various devices, then I should be able to sync my app installation via one of my cloud storage accounts. Time to get with the program Sky News. 👍 😃
-- Phiz_1472, 2024-10-09

### *---- "Inconsistency"
The app is very inconsistent. And very annoying.
-- TCH@H, 2024-10-03

### *---- "Why so many advertisments"
With a paid subscription why am I still getting all the adds.  

This is very annoying!
-- Ausland76, 2024-09-19

### **--- "Terrible ap."
Always troubles click on news and every voice on all shows comes out loud and not clear. All talking together. 
Simple,  click on what you want to see and that voice and show should start, not all the others with just one click.
-- Someone else’s name, 2024-08-29
