User Reviews

Sky News is praised for broad international coverage, reliable reporting, and concise, detailed updates that help US readers follow UK/European news. However, users repeatedly cite downsides: heavy advertising, disruptive UX redesigns including loss of search, unreliable push notifications, perceived bias, and persistent Apple TV/app stability issues.

Pros

Broad global/world coverage and reliable reporting across regions, including UK, Ireland, Europe and beyond.
Useful for US readers to stay informed about UK/Europe and other international news.
Concise, no-fluff presentation of news headlines and stories.
Detailed stories with timely updates.
Reader-friendly format and strong overall presentation (some reviews compare favorably with BBC).

Cons

Ads and clutter are excessive, with long video ads and overall ad burden.
Significant UX redesigns/layout changes that reduce readability and remove features like search; home screen content can feel repetitive and poorly organized.
Notifications are unreliable or blocked on devices, leading to missed updates.
Perceived political bias or leaning, with concerns about objectivity and alignment with NBC News.
Ongoing Apple TV stability issues (black screen, TVOS compatibility) and related playback/app performance problems.

Recent reviews

I love Sky News. It’s up to the minute and they have such great interviews. My favorite is Professor Michael Clarke

The app itself is perfectly fine, but I have to delete it on account of the incessant advertisements. Specifically, the Temu ads show objects and people that - at small scale - appear pornographic.
