Sky Go app gets visual refresh, 7-day TV guide, and remote record in version 6.0

Scott Scrivens

For viewers in the UK, the TV landscape is infinitely less cluttered compared with our American counterparts. Multiple time zones, networks, and providers in the US make things far more complex than in the UK. The strength of free-to-air TV means that a much smaller percentage of Brits actually pay for a satellite or cable service. For those who do, the dominant provider is Sky, whose Android app has just been updated. Version 6.0.9 brings with it a visual overhaul, full 7-day guide, and remote record/download.

Sky Go Streaming App Adds Android 5.0 Support In Its Latest Update, But Problems Continue

Michael Crider

Most apps should work just fine on new versions of Android. That is, if you have a forgiving definition of the words "most" and "just fine." Sky PLC's Sky Go streaming app for the United Kingdom and Ireland was one of a few that ceased to function on devices that came with Lollipop or received a subsequent software update. The latest version of Sky Go works with Android 5.0, at least according to the "What's New" text for version 4.1.2.

On the other hand, the app's primary description still advises users not to upgrade to Android 5.0 if they want to continue streaming.

[New App] Sky Go Tablet Brings Sky Streaming TV And Downloads To UK Tablet Owners

Jeremiah Rice

Hey, Sky? You do know that the same Google Play Store listing can be used for both smartphone and tablet versions of an app, right? No? You're still going with separate smartphone and tablet apps, like it's 2010? Okay then. The Sky Go tablet app has the same basic features of the smartphone app, but it's restricted to 7" or larger tablets running Android 4.0 or later.

Kidding aside, the feature set of the Sky Go app is pretty admirable, with live TV and streaming TV on demand. According to the app description there are "over 800 movies" and more TV shows than you can shake a sheleighly at across 11 movie channels, Sky Atlantic, Sky 1, Sky Living, Sky Arts, and Sky News, and various sports channels.

Sky Go Coming To Android Devices "Next Month", Allows Users To Watch Live TV And Anytime Content On The Move

John Thompson

Sky Go, a service which allows Sky TV customers to watch live and archived content on the go, has been available in the browser and on iOS devices for 7 months now, and according to Holly Knill, the head of Sky Go, it's finally coming to Android devices next month as well.

Customers running "a selection of Android smartphones starting with Samsung Galaxy and HTC handsets" will be the first to have the opportunity to test the new Sky Go app, but there is no mention of support for any other devices in Sky's post just yet. Presumably, the app will be rolling out to select devices in order to iron out any lingering bugs that are found once it is released into the wild, and hopefully it will be coming to many more devices, including tablets, in the future.
