Like many news apps, every article is death and destruction, or scandal and celebrity shaming. Where is the good news?? Also, the app contains too many ads and links to unrelated stuff, like puzzle apps?? What's that about? If Sky News creates a page JUST for good news - I'll reinstall the app. Otherwise, the news is just too depressing!

slow start up times and sometimes the app doesn't start. When you try to skip forward or back on a video, the video just goes black (audio still plays). so you have to restart the video if you were interested in the content (and you might have been 5 -10 mins into the video already)

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!!!
