## Sky News Reviews in Ireland

### ***-- "Video controls cover content- iOS"
Top video section does not work well on iOS. Video controls stay onscreen for ages and obscure content.
-- MetricJo, 2024-11-27

### *---- "I no longer trust them to tell the truth"
Fact check their coverage of the genocide in Palestine.
-- Minxs_mum, 2024-10-16

### *---- "Discover tab is not a good user journey"
The ability to see the different segments has been removed. The previous version you could clearly swipe between World news, business, US news etc. You are now stuck on the first page unless you navigate to the discover tab.
-- Gav1996, 2024-08-15

### *---- "Review"
Too many add from obvious fake and scam sites.
I don’t mind add but you need to try harder and do better.
K
-- Irishmts, 2024-08-07

### *---- "Scam adverts"
Be very careful of this. They have a lot of scam adverts on every story designed to target vulnerable and elderly.
-- Jamesod1, 2024-07-28

### ***** "Brilliant"
Great news
-- eire🇮🇪, 2024-07-26

### ***** "Review"
Excellent job
-- Bg19599, 2024-07-21

### *---- "Too many fake news ads"
Very high quality app is totally undermined by the plague of nonsense fake news ads that are designed to look like real news. Stops me using the app - alternative news apps don’t have this rubbish.
-- JWorker, 2024-04-27

### *---- "Rename it Sky ads"
The sky news app is absolutely flooded with ads .
-- Daz_j, 2024-03-21

### *---- "Generally ok but problem with todays update"
I live in ireland and have been able to see news and videos, but today cannot. Trying to look at the article about the Star Wars actor that dies, but is says it’s not available in our geographic location.

Not using VPN, so using Irish ISP.

Can you please fix this
-- NKFOX, 2024-03-14

### ***** "News for busy bodies"
I love to be able to scroll and chose varied content I am interested in from across the globe.
-- jsd edkuvbalskdj n, 2024-03-01

### ***-- "Poor coverage"
Service is very selective of issues covered and deferential to PR of established news generators . Appears reporting staff have limited knowledge of issues being discussed .
Inability to follow up or confront major issues. By way of example , sacking in January of postal chairman .
-- carrickbeg, 2024-02-20

### ***** "More light stories and relief from the misery of our world"
Where are the good stories? There must be some relief to the constant evil that seems to be our world. Is the reading proportionate or is this all we can expect when we reach for world news ? A bit more levity at times would be great.
-- Moteresa, 2024-02-14

### **--- "Play/Pause"
The play pause screen stays on for 7 seconds which obscures the important part of some videos. Before the update you could touch the screen and it would disappear but now your forced to watch it for 7 seconds.
-- mute viking, 2024-02-04

### ***** "Speedy and up to date"
Whenever I hear about anything happening in the world, I’m straight onto Sky News to get in-depth and up to the minute information. Just what I want from a news channel.
-- GVGMCc, 2023-12-17

### ***** "Unbiased"
Since the other large UK news channel has ‘reworked’ its News app, I have been turning to Sky.
I find the app easy to navigate, with a wider range of topics covered (even when they’re not fashionable at that precise minute) and the fact it is updated REGULARLY is helpful, unlike the ‘other’ news app which is ‘stuck’ on stories, sometimes two days old.

Keep it up Sky.
-- MoanerGB, 2023-12-14

### ***** "Excellent up to date world news. Well deserved EMMY."
A well deserved Emmy for Sky News’ coverage of the Ukraine war. Probably the number one source of up to date world news available to me in Ireland. 
Sky News has not let the  Ukraine war be forgotten, unlike some other broadcasters .
By keeping this story fresh and up to date in the minds of other countries I believe it is contributing to saving lives in the long run.
By keeping us informed, it encourages support from other nations, and hopefully Russia will tire of their tyranny against Ukrainians.
-- M. Dublin., 2023-09-28

### **--- "Annoying nonsense ads"
Why do Sky pollute their excellent news app with low quality nonsense adverts ? Instead of normal acceptable product advertising you constantly get ridiculous ...only a fool would believe.... claims of miracle cure devices and products geographically aimed at readers claiming everyone in ...insert IP location..is talking about ... Its hilarious at times but lowers the quality of the App.
-- Terryofcrete, 2023-09-14

### ***-- "Sky app"
Font size is too small, can you increase? Thanks.
-- SellMyStuff2, 2023-09-03

### *---- "absolute rubbish"
terrible app . full of terrible inappropriate ads
-- Thicko4104, 2023-09-02
