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.

New update has broken this. When I open a headline i find the story that opens is completely different to the headline I've clicked. Videos only play the sound, I just get a static image on the screen. The interface is not nearly as clear as it used to be. I've had this app for many years and it has always been my daily news source, shame I'll have to find a working alternative now.

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!!!
