    291 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the app has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the excessive and lengthy advertisements that often exceed the duration of the content they precede. Many users express frustration over having to watch multiple ads before accessing short video clips, especially as some subscribers feel they should not be subjected to ads at all given their paid subscriptions. Overall, the app is perceived as overly focused on advertising, detracting from the user experience and functionality.

    • “It is a great app, and I'm glad there's no ads.”
    • “The monetization model is fair and doesn't disrupt gameplay.”
    • “I appreciate that the in-game purchases are optional and not pay-to-win.”
    • “Monetized to the extreme, I pay a Sky Sports subscription yet still have to watch 30 seconds of adverts before I can see a 22-second clip of a press conference, then bookended with more ads at the end for good measure.”
    • “I pay a fortune for Sky and I can't even watch a 30-second clip on the app without being force-fed multiple ads every time.”

  • story
    96 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the app has received significant criticism, primarily due to persistent technical issues such as stories failing to load, crashing, and misleading notifications that do not direct users to the intended content. Users have expressed frustration over the frequent need to accept cookie settings for each story, the prevalence of ads, and the repetitive nature of the articles, which often lack depth and relevance. Overall, the app's functionality has detracted from the user experience, leading to a decline in satisfaction with the stories provided.

    • “I like how it gives you notifications about your favorite sports and tells you any big story or news about your favorite sports and how you can check results of your favorite sports and team and how you can watch highlights from matches from your favorite team.”
    • “It's improved; they have stopped being biased towards Man Utd. Used to have a story every day about something just to be on it, but now seems to be a bit more balanced.”
    • “You never miss a story with Sky Sports.”
    • “But since the last update, every time I try to open a latest story it won't fully load up and the screen goes blank.”

  • stability
    84 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the app has been widely criticized, with users reporting frequent crashes, freezes, and slow loading times, particularly after recent updates. Many have noted that the app often fails to load content properly, leading to a frustrating user experience.

    • “No bugs, no glitches!”
    • “Very good app, no glitches or bugs.”
    • “Decent app, no glitches.”
    • “Since the update, the app keeps crashing. It lets you click on one story, works fine, then when you try to go on another one, the app either crashes or freezes. It needs to be closed down and then reopened. 30-second ads for a 40-second video, and half the time the video won't load after the ad has played perfectly fine. I had no problems with it before the latest update.”
    • “The app freezes constantly and has done for months. One star is all I can give it now.”
    • “This app is shocking; it freezes pretty much every time I use it. Even when you close the app and start again, it freezes.”
  • optimization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, user reviews indicate significant optimization issues with the app, including frequent freezing, slow loading times, and incomplete information display, particularly on Android devices. While a small number of users report smooth performance, the majority express frustration with the app's reliability and urge for urgent updates to address these persistent problems.

    • “Runs smoothly and I've had no problems with this app; I've also had this app for over 6 years.”
    • “Very poor performance overall which is indicative of a company concerned only for new customers and not current.”
    • “Absolutely poor performance, continued issues with freezing after visiting almost every page, have to close the app and restart after every article read, please update ASAP or revert back to the previous version.”
    • “Android performance - underperforms vs iOS, trouble loading pages, information on league tables does not fully load, cuts off info like points or games played, same on Samsung and OnePlus phones, definitely more work to do.”
  • graphics
