Latest update means you can no longer swipe through topics

Get the complete story first, for free, from your preferred news source.

Access our app for renowned journalism and up-to-the-minute news reports from the UK and worldwide.

At Sky News, our goal is to provide you with the whole story initially, from wherever you access your news. Having the full story empowers you to form your own opinions. We are convinced that this is more crucial now than ever before.

Enjoy all the news from Sky News, nationally and worldwide

Sky News is the official app of Sky News, the news channel of the Sky platform. In the app, you can consult the latest national and international news, with a special focus on the United Kingdom and everything that happens there. You will find sections of content of all kinds, including sports, politics, economics, weather, science, technology, breaking news, and many more.

Sky News also allows you to watch the channel of the same name live from the Live tab. There is no need to be a Sky subscriber to access it, so you can watch the news channel without paying and from any country. You can also watch the videos on the most important news items of each day. By clicking on each news item, you can read all its content, as well as access related videos if, for example, it has been discussed in the news.

A curious function of Sky News is that it allows you to send news that has occurred around you. You can send 3 photos or a video, your location, and comments about the event that happened. This is useful, for example, if you see that there has been an accident nearby and you want to contribute multimedia content that you have recorded or photographed.

So, if you want to stay up to date with the latest news, don't hesitate to download the APK of Sky News.

    Before publishing, the content must be proofread! The quality used to be higher, but now it's becoming frustrating. Conflicting statistics lead to confusing stories, titles disagree with the stories below, and sentences are left unchecked. Photos are often not verified as well. There's no option to report errors. It seems like they rush out stories, but the numerous errors make me doubt the validity of the content. If this trend continues, I may need to find another source.

    The Sky News app offers the latest news in a clear and accurate way. It's the best news app I've tried. There are no annoying links to other sites and the ads are not intrusive. The app covers a wide range of news topics including breaking news, politics, world news, science, nature, entertainment, and sports. It's a fantastic news source.

    I had no issues with this app until yesterday. Now, whenever I open a story, the cookies preferences question pops up every time. No matter which option I choose and click "save & exit," it just exits. When I try to read the next story, the question appears AGAIN. Sky Sports News app has the same problem. The BBC also has some faults, but at least its news and sports apps respect your choices. Update: I have increased my star rating as it seems to be functioning properly now.

    This app is amazing! It gives me the latest news, videos, podcasts, and hotspots. I really like Sky News because they share information without any bias. The presenters are great and keep me updated on COVID-19 and current events. Ever since I started using the Sky app and watching it on TV, I haven't looked at any other news channels.
