  • Provides up-to-date sports news, scores, and fixtures coverage across many sports, including football, cricket, boxing, and F1.
  • Allows customization of favourite teams and sports for personalized news and notifications.
  • Good video clips and highlights (when they work) with live streaming available for subscribers.
  • App frequently crashes, freezes, or fails to load articles and videos, requiring frequent reinstallations or restarts.
  • Excessive and lengthy unskippable advertisements before short video clips, even for paying subscribers, causing poor user experience.
  • Notifications are poorly managed; users receive unwanted sports alerts, especially for women's football, despite disabling them, with no proper filtering options.
  • monetization
    168 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The app's monetization strategy heavily relies on intrusive, excessively long ads—often longer than the videos themselves—that frustrate users, including paying subscribers who still must watch ads. Frequent crashes, loading issues, and inappropriate or irrelevant advertisements further degrade the user experience, leading many to view the app as overly commercialized and poorly optimized.

    • “As a paying Sky Sports customer, it annoys me that I have to sit through ads on each video the same as a non-paying customer.”
    • “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.”
    • “Not only do we now have to watch a 30 second advert before every video (regardless of how long the video is), but there are full page ads appearing over articles.”
  • story
    56 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report frequent issues with story loading, crashes, and app freezing since recent updates, leading to frustration when trying to read articles. Notifications often fail to direct users to the relevant story, instead opening blank pages or the homepage. Additionally, repetitive cookie consent prompts and misleading clickbait headlines detract from the overall reading experience.

    • “Open a story, bang the story is there as it happens.”
    • “I like how it gives you notifications about your favourite sports and tells you any big story or news about your favourite sports and how you can check results of your favourite sports and team and how you can watch highlights from matches from your favourite team.”
    • “Good for keeping up with news for the most part, sometimes a little difficult to navigate and doesn't always take you directly to the story when you click a notification.”
    • “Whenever I open a story, only half the story downloads, then the rest of the app is frozen. I shut down, reload, and the same happens again. This has been going on for weeks if not months.”
    • “Push notifications are absolutely garbage; clicking on the notification never takes you to the story you clicked on.”
    • “No stories load; clicking on the story just opens a blank page.”
  • stability
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The app suffers from frequent and persistent stability issues, including video freezes shortly after streaming begins, crashes, and long loading times, which significantly impair usability. Users report audio continuing after video freezes, failures to load content, and repeated crashes, especially after recent updates. Overall, these bugs and performance problems make the app frustrating and unreliable for live sports and video content.

    • “No bugs, no glitches!”
    • “Since the update, the app keeps crashing. It lets you click on one story and works fine, but when you try to go on another one, the app either crashes or freezes. It needs to be closed down and then re-opened. There are 30-second ads for a 40-second video, and half the time the video won't load after the ad has played perfectly fine. Had no problems with it before the latest update.”
    • “When I load up a live game, after 5 seconds the picture freezes, then 5 minutes later the commentary stops.”
    • “I have to reinstall this app 3 or 4 times a week as it constantly crashes and freezes.”
  • optimization
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization is notably poor, with frequent freezing, slow loading, and performance issues across multiple devices, especially on Android. Users report having to repeatedly restart the app and experiencing incomplete content loading, indicating a need for urgent improvements from the developers.

    • “Sky app is suffering from performance issues; sometimes it loads, and other times I have to load and close multiple times before it works. Very buggy at the moment.”
    • “Android performance underperforms compared to iOS. There is trouble loading pages, and information on league tables does not fully load, cutting off details like points or games played. This occurs on both Samsung and OnePlus phones, so there is definitely more work to do.”
    • “Worse performance than illicit streaming sites, so what is the point?”
    • “Very poor performance overall, indicative of a company concerned only with new customers and not current ones.”
    • “Absolutely poor performance, continual issues with freezing after visiting almost every page; have to close and restart the app after every article. Please update ASAP or revert to the previous version.”
    • “Android performance underperforms compared to iOS; trouble loading pages and incomplete information on league tables, cutting off points or games played. Same issues on Samsung and OnePlus phones; definitely more work to do.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the graphics functional but somewhat lacking, missing features like interactive team lineup visuals that were present in earlier versions. The current graphics serve their basic purpose but could benefit from more detailed and interactive elements.

  • gameplay
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay lacks transparency and essential information, as users note the absence of stats and data for teams on platforms like Sky Sports, impacting the overall experience.

  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor aspect is notably absent or ineffective, as users express frustration and dissatisfaction rather than amusement, highlighting issues with the app's performance and customer service.
