I have used the app for a couple of weeks as I am looking for a non-biased news site for my stay in the UK. Unfortunately I found Sky news specifically reporting on things happening in China, where my previous local news is reporting on Tibeth. Unfortunately reason for me to uninstall the app. The UI was ok, just a bit too busy with ads and recomended articles.

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.

The new look is nice, but the text has shrunk yet again!!! Why do they make it so small on mobile devices. My text size is supposed to be large, not small!! Don't they ever check before they release update?? But still an excellent tool and simple enough to find your way around and get what you need. Interesting live video coverage too, as this is one of the key features I find useful. The ads are well placed and not intrusive.
