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.

Widget no longer works after recent update. Doesn't update nrmews stories, and clicking on a story just takes you to that item; hitting the back-arrow then closes the app. Devs have cocked up here in a classic 'if it isn't broken then don't try to fix it' principle. Also littered with Ads, some of which are inappropriate for a 'news' channel

Was the best news app with 5 stars, but new update has ruined it. The layout has changed from an easy on the eyes straight list of stories, to a disjointed mess with big window screens highlighting stories unnecessarily. This app now causes stress when trying to absorb daily news, find myself not wanting to go on it anymore. Please Sky News, put the app back to how it was and be the best again!?
