Sky News: Breaking, UK & World

Loved Sky news until recently when the viewing format was changed. And now it’s the same adverts which are on for too long. I’m now using the BBC news which has a similar viewing format and no adverts. All the same news with TV no ads

I have been” forced” to install the latest update on the Sky News App to access the news. The new format is awful. I don’t find the old “ new” format particularly good compared to the previous labour, with the Discover option at the bottom. ( I note the topic of Royals has disappeared. ) Instead of seamlessly flipping along the top to access the subjects,,now I have to go to the options and tap each individual subject , go into the topic and so on. The latest format is so distracting, with all the adverts all over the front page. The topics are in no particular nor sensible order. and I find it quite off putting. Not a good look either. Big boxes, spaces big, adverts big. Not a good idea Sky News. I will stick to the BBC news. As an update to my recent review above, I have tried to get used to the new format but not finding it too easy to navigate. Could we have all the top stories together please instead of splitting them up between random puzzles and other topics? Makes for a very fragmented format. However, is anyone reading these reviews please?as a further update please could I ask if there is any way to revert back to your previous format please? I’m afraid so can’t make head Nor sense of your new app, things are so disjointed and the worse this is that the news always used To be updated On an afternoon and Now it doesn’t and continues to shows old News for days On end On its main home page. pretty dire and awful I’m So disappointed as it used to be my favourite app. I don’t think anyone reads these reviews.

Still no improvement despite all of the negative feedback about how to access different topics Update - the latest version says that it groups topics together to make it easier to find things….. it doesn’t and it isn’t. It’s still an endless list of items with the topics hidden behind a menu pick at the bottom. I wonder of the person describing the update had actually used the App. Latest update has an updated look and feel bit they didn’t take the opportunity to revert to the easier to navigate tabs which is a missed opportunity. The UX gurus at sky have decided that hiding the different news topic areas behind a pop up list, and so needing two clicks, rather than having them directly accessible from her menu bar, only needing one click, is better - I wonder what training course they go on

The update as ruined the app , it’s messy and difficult to navigate

Disjointed and irrelevant stories. Adverts interfering with news stories. Have read Sky News for at least 20 years but now changing to BBC News.

Better website and reporting on Sky ynews than the BBC which has gone backwards

So many articles with a distinct left leaning bias and to many reporters and journalists with the same bent

Very noticeable downturn in news even more so ‘out of hours’, barely a 24 news medium these days.

Used to like this app, easy to use and read things that were interesting to me. The latest changes have mixed everything up and now difficult to find or see. Far too many adverts. Will have to switch away from them.

I hate the way you have changed the way Sky news is displayed. It’s very much like BBC news website and that’s awful as well.
