## Sky Store Player Description
Watch the latest movies and TV shows on your devices. All available to watch offline and you don’t even need a subscription.

With the Sky Store iOS app you can:

	•	Download your movies and box sets to watch offline

	•	Cast your movies and TV shows to your TV with Chromecast

Here’s the legal bit
Sky Store Player is available on any iOS device running iOS 13 or above. Watching Sky Store on a 3G/4G connection will use data and contribute to the monthly allowance set by your mobile network operator. Exceeding this could result in significant charges. For security reasons and to protect the rights of our partners, Sky Store isn’t supported on any device where limitations included within the device operating system have been removed or tampered with. Sky Store doesn't support video output/screen mirroring due to Studio restrictions.

## Sky Store Player Reviews in United Kingdom

### *---- "Would give zero if I could"
Ability to cast to tv stops working. App only available on lg. I had twenty five movies and all but three disappeared for no reason. Currently been waiting 90 mins for customer service.
-- Wouldgiv0, 2025-01-04

### ***-- "Order"
Please put films in alphabetical order on the app
-- Rpa_79, 2025-01-02

### *---- "Awful"
Doesn’t allow you to cast. Just paid to rent a film and now it’s only viewable on a phone.
-- Rikki86, 2024-12-27

### *---- "Cadbury rent movie"
Deeply upset about the fact that we purchased a movie was implossible to watch
-- SoniGreenwich, 2024-12-26

### *---- "Issues watching via chromecast"
Bad
-- Reviewing2024lbh, 2024-12-20

### **--- "Confusing"
App jams on the purchased movie page. No way to navigate to main Sky store catalogue nor to see my account credit.
-- purchases blocked, 2024-12-13

### *---- "No Apple TV streaming allowed"
Poor app as it does not allow Apple TV streaming. No good reason for this. Some LG TVs don't get the web OS3 support and having an alternative means to cast from device to screen such as Apple TV is a must. Sky...can you sort this?
-- Medixine, 2024-12-10

### *---- "Doesn’t Work"
Doesn’t work, bought one of those Cadbury boxes that gives you a free movie, says you don’t need a sky account but then makes you create an ID and link to your sky account, complete rubbish!
-- carl170981, 2024-12-08

### *---- "Streaming doesn’t work"
Films I have purchased won’t stream to my tv, although all trailers will!😡
-- Woodyem74, 2024-12-03

### *---- "Not working"
Tells you to open the app with an Internet connection, obviously done this, deleted the app reinstall the app still doesn’t work
-- Birch stag, 2024-11-30

### *---- "How do I rent a movie?"
Can’t see a way to find a list of movies to rent
-- R####t, 2024-11-23

### *---- "Terrible technical & app support. Avoid buying and renting from Sky Store."
Despite hundreds of people reporting an ‘Error 5000’ when Casting movies for well over 2 years now, Sky refuse to properly acknowledge the issue and it remains unfixed. Worse still, each new support ticket seems to see them reply with surprise when you report it to them, as if they weren’t aware before.

I have a lot of time for Sky as a company, but their attitude and arrogance towards supporting their iOS/iPadOS app for Sky Store is appalling. The error is preventing people from casting their movies to their TV, meaning that customers are locked out of their digital purchases if they no longer subscribe to Sky’s TV services. This, despite you still being able to purchase movies on the Sky Store website - it’s clear they’re happy to take your money even if you’re not a Sky TV customer, otherwise why not just limit purchases to just Sky boxes?

There is no doubt that this is a technical issue, but given that this is the only app that struggles with its advertised casting abilities, it’s also clear that Sky aren’t investing time or money to fix it. This is unacceptable, if you’re happy to let us buy films, you also need to take ownership of well publicised app errors. Speak to your customers, keep us updated, and don’t stick your head in the sand. All you are doing is increasing our frustration and it’s simply not good enough.

Poor communication, poor support and an extremely poor user experience. If you’ve never bought films from Sky Store before, I wholeheartedly recommend you to protect your future digital film collection by purchasing elsewhere.

### *---- "No option to buy movie"
Terrible app- no help system and can’t actually use it to buy a new movie
-- Jonnoww, 2024-11-21

### *---- "Diabolical rubbish"
VIP service says search, there is no search function.
-- Hattie500, 2024-11-20

### *---- "Horrendous"
Can’t cast to tv. Error 5000. Issue since September and no help from sky
-- Use use use mo, 2024-11-17

### *---- "Convoluted"
If you purchase a movie through sky, and no app is there to play it, does the movie even exist?

As a rule I never watch films or tv shows on my phone, so to play any purchases on the tv you need to download the app to stream on to your tv. Except that doesn’t work, it’s super frustrating and I don’t know why sky wouldn’t just create an app on the tv itself instead of exclusively on a smart phone.

I keep being told about an update, but nothing has been fixed.
-- Ewand11, 2024-11-17

### *---- "Pointless app"
Even if I log in in Wi-Fi the app tells me I haven’t logged in in the passed day and can’t watch the movies. If like me you buy movies on sky to watch on the train DONT! Definitely buy them on a more reliable app
-- Samhorra, 2024-11-11

### *---- "The unviewable"
What’s the point and having a Sky Store there is no store there’s nothing to buy. I have to buy it on sky VIP completely somewhere  else to watch it in MY SKY store. A Sky Store that all it does is actually store movies that you bought can’t choose movies it’s just complete madness.
-- Adamtiki1, 2024-11-08

### *---- "Usability"
Presents only purchased - no windows to see those rent or buy
-- cockle, 2024-11-06

### **--- "Often doesn’t work on iPad or iPhone"
I’ve got an up to date iPhone and iPad with up to date iOS but am always having issues with this app. Tells me that there’s a problem try again. I’m really fed up with it. Works fine on my Roku box. Sort it out SKY.
