Sky News: Breaking, UK & World

What the app does

Sky News: Breaking, UK & World brings Sky News coverage into one Android app for people who follow UK affairs, international events, business, politics, sport and major breaking stories. It combines written reports with live video, giving readers a choice between scanning headlines and watching coverage as events develop.

News and live coverage

The app is built around regularly updated news sections and breaking-news notifications. Its live stream is suited to users who want continuing video coverage rather than individual articles. Coverage spans domestic and world news, while podcasts provide a longer format for analysis and discussion beyond the main headline feed.

• Breaking alerts: notifications for significant developing stories.
• Live news video: watch Sky News coverage within the app.
• Podcasts: access programmes including news and political discussion.
• Offline reading: save or retain articles for reading when a connection is unavailable.
• Dark mode: an alternative display setting for darker surroundings.

Who it suits

This is a practical fit for regular Sky News readers who want text, video and audio in the same place. It also suits commuters and travellers who prefer to catch up in short sessions, or who want to keep selected reading available away from a reliable connection. Users who mainly want a simple, text-only news reader may find the wider mix of media more than they need.
