Too many stories are repeated on the feed. Sometimes 'Breaking News' at the top is followed by exactly the same story below it. 'Stories you may have missed' consists of stories I have CHOSEN to scroll past! Stories relating to the same subject should be grouped not filling your feed with one topic. I used to rate the sky news app alot higher than the BBC news app but now it is just as bad, repetitive, and dominated by 2 or 3 topics!!!

Has suddenly decided to announce all notifications with the "Sky News sound", without me having changed anything. This is extremely distracting and whilst I have now muted the notification sound, will likely lead to me uninstalling, particularly as there are no filter settings for notifications - there's already too many inconsequential updates, even without sound.

Used to use this app to read the news headlines every single day, first thing in the morning, last thing at night before bed and lots of times in the day inbetween. But now the app seems flaky, i.e news stories and videos don't open , it's riddled with ads and you can't skim the top of the page to navigate the topics your interest in now you have to click and extra button and it just doesn't feel as pleasing to use so I've uninstalled it
