Dear Sky News Editors and staff!
Thank you for your core groups efforts to keep us posted on what’s happening in the war zone in Ukraine these days.
Without your reports we wouldn’t have been able to learn the truth about war crimes committed by this regime in a foreign country!
Thanks a lot!
Lefter than left
Opinions and reporting don’t reflect British heritage and don’t report the truth and facts
Ditch the pre video ads
Having a 30 second video for a 40s video clip is just crazy. Stopped using the app
Used to be good but…..
Now there are too many purple and sensationalist ads that can only be seen as click bait to generate revenue. I understand that the app has to pay for itself, and make profit, but lose the click bait and credit your users with a bit more intelligence please? “Live” articles are almost unreadable due to updates repositioning the screen you are on, meaning you have to flick through the entire site again to find what you were reading. Frustrating to the point I don’t use it any more. Web developers need a bit of coaching I think.
Too woke
The amount of Woke stuff and female news is getting very boring. Also the amount of news ( and I use that term lightly), about blacks and Asians is disproportionate. Anything right of centre is always criticised and anything bad about a white male is always disproportionately aired.
Too many adverts!!!!
Great news app, which is being overwhelmed by adverts. I get that Sky has to raise revenue and that’s fine but when every video news clip you watch comes with an advert, it’s a tad annoying. What makes it ultra annoying, is having to watch a 30 second ad to then watch a 20 second clip?

Sky News Review
All good and up to date reports my 1st choice for news
Please stop forcing society to watch adverts
It’s a decent app. But it’s just plain wrong to force adverts down people’s throats.
You are reporting the news. It’s not a marketing opportunity. You click to watch a video about some poor person that’s been murdered, but you’re forced to watch a video about f’ing chicken nuggets first.
It’s appalling and wholly inappropriate.
No longer working
Been using the app for many years until yesterday. One day ago the app ceased to load the news 24 hours later still no news I deleted then reinstalled the app still no news. Are you going to fix the app?
