Sky News Australia Reviews
Garbage
It’s nothing but a source of lies or at best distortion of news.
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!
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.
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!
Start over
Great content, terrible app. Lacks proper audio integration. Often out of sync and annoying audio jitters. Cheap and nasty. Use flash.
Sky News Australia app
The app glitches most times.
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
Poor
Can’t login can’t find account can’t find shows
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.
