Suddenly after using it for years on this and other devices, it often refuses to load, stating my wifi or connection is broken, yet it's the same in WiFi or mobile data. Clearing the cache sometimes works, but then it will stop again after a while. All other Internet connected apps work whilst this one doesn't, so I don't believe it's my phone at fault.

I would give the app 5 if it didn't have adverts. I have now lowered my rating to 2 because of the adverts. I pay £87 a month for sky TV and £37 a month for broadband, as a result I think I should be able to use the Sky news app without any adds at all. It's so frustrating having to watch a 30 second advert that has no relevance or interest to me before I can watch a video related to a news article. Also when you finally do get to watch the video, the screen goes really dark for a few seconds.

I quite like the Sky News app, it gives an alternative take on events, but I never watch videos they post because of the ads they put in front of said videos 99% of the time. Unfortunately I have a zero ads policy in life, ads come on TV I switch over and may switch back again after they've run, so in applying that to this app, I skip the videos at all times. Putting ads in front of what are sometimes very serious events is also pretty crass to be fair.
