Fan Pass for Android
Unbelievably expensive! What a complete ripoff! At least 4x more expensive compared to any other countries live streaming services. You'd do better to get a VPN and subscribe to one of them.
Please, for the love of god, FIX the Chromecast bugs. Whenever a big event is on SS1- it takes about 20-30 attempts to offload the stream on to the CC. All other channels stream ok. Unbelievably frustrating on a deadline.
This app is sometime unusable and I'm paying a $100.00 for it I should be able to click and watching doesn't work consistently with chromecast and it used to but since the price increase all has gone backwards. Would only renew as last resort.
App used to work every now and then. Had a lot of difficulty casting to chromecast. Sent multiple emails complaining and asking for help and recommendations - not much help. Can't see this app as practical and since the prices have shot up it's absolutely ridiculous. Thought it was our internet or the fact we had an old chromecast. Updated chromecast and turns out internet wasn't a problem either. Have the app on both android and ios but both just as bad. Only reason i still have the app is that i had it before the price was hiked and i wont have to pay extra until February. Terrible application. Highly recommend NOT getting it.
Still think the fanpass concept is the future. However current app, chrome cast issues and service from sky leave a lot to be desired. I really hope it improves. As all I really want is the current sky sports offering in conjunction with Netflix.
The update issued for this app on 5/06/17 means it is now impossible to watch any live sports on my android tablet. This is a catastrophic fault which must be fixed immediately.
I bought this app so I could watch the Americas Cup. It just says that the video is not available please try again later. Not good enough.
It just doesn't work. Trying to watch the Americas cup this morning, and it just says 'video not available at this time' when you try to play it. Which for a video playing service is hopeless. You have one job.......
Well your app was working then stopped and now tells me I'm offline and simply won't start again. Tried restarting phone, stopping app and still won't work. If I was offline I could not have left this review...
Inistalling . Faults not economic cost $20 per race at the tail end of the acup , and chromcast often would not work fail fail fail uninstalling
Should be investigated by Fair Trading - not fit for purpose. Don't waste your money!
A horrific piece of work. No contact or apparent effort to fix it. Don't bother yourselves with it.
Right in the middle of the race it dropped out and it wouldn't connect back to the America's Cup. Grrrrrrrr
Thought I'd just check this out to see if was worth revisiting. Pricing has gone up and is now extortionate. Over priced bunch of guff. No wonder Sky is losing customers hand-over-foot...
Not offering the GGG vs Canelo fight, therefore you get a bad review.
Cannot watch past coverage from that day, sky still expect you to stop what your doing when theyre ready. Can watch coverage that day on a desktop but not on tablets or in app.
Every other bad review has said it right. Do not get it. They have had enough chances to fix it. Not to be renewed when mine expires.
Absolutely terrible app, their app for Samsung tv's is worse and streaming via their website not much better. Complete waste of money.
Limited troubleshooting advice on chromecast, and video frequently unavailable on tablet
Paid over $300 For subscription and it didn't work... FIX IT
terrible trying to cast to Chromecast thru my s7 phone use to work ok not anymore!
Always issues with getting it working.. most unreliable app in history...
Can't watch on Chromecast at all. Spent $100 to have it kick us off at the end of the final Americas cup race
Rubbish. Waste of time and money
Not good service with this app.
Would use it a lot more if had v8 supercars
Beta software .... become a paying tester
Very Good
I can't believe they have not addressed any of the issues when using with Chromecast yet... Really poor show. The following is my original review from 2016: Terrible when using with Chromecast. Yes it starts the sports, but when you go back into the phone, the app has minimized, and you either have to log in again, or close the app completely then drop the chromecast, and restart the casting to chromecast. Very clunky to use with Chromecast compared to the likes of Netflix and YouTube. Not recommended at all.
Sky are like the fossil fuel of TV. Suffering a slow but steady decline until they fade away completely. The last hope was moving online but then in some "genius" move decided to double the price. Sorry Sky but you're toast with that attitude.
Used to work fine, but now is a pain to use. EVERY time the app is opened it jumps backwards in time and makes for a very annoying experience. What used to be great is now just awful.
Pricing is absolutely ridiculous. App itself is brilliant, but not worth it. Sky is so far behind the times it's a joke.
Crappy, buggy and unreliable app. Sort it out sky. You are getting my good money.
Can't fault the streaming on Chromecast. Great service in general. Big bug - whenever you go back to the app while streaming, like to check what's on, it rewinds the stream back to where you started it. Really annoying! Almost as annoying as having to LOG IN ALL THE TIME.
there are too many replays on Sky sport 1,2,3 and 4. I know there is live sport on but I only see replays. And why no pop up channels..fan pass should be ALL sport channels (it costs too much just to be 1,2,3 and 4). And yes, as previous user states, there is an annoying bug where you go back into the app while streaming and suddenly the action is not live any more.
When it works it's great but it's full of bugs. If you use it with Chromecast, when you go back into the app it reminds to an early part of the broadcast. Worse though is a big I get where after every stream when I want to stream again it says I am offline and need to connect to WiFi or 3G even though I'm online. Only way to get it working is to uninstall then reinstall which I have to do repeatedly throughout the day.
Ive recently re puchased another month's pass. The stream is interupted on chromecast when i open the app to view the schedule. This often results in skipping back in time, in one case it skipped back at least 45 minutes. Other examples i was bumped onto watching rugby world cup highlights instead of live cricket. The app has seriously deteriorated recently.
Stick with website. Dont bother with this app - another Sky less than par product
Drifts off live easily onto recorded dribble! Didn't pay for the time wasting

FAIL! Thanks sky. Changing the live channel stream to the replay channel and visa versa between races and without warning so I missed the winning race of the Louis vitton for Nz. $100 for nothing.... I WILL NEVER give sky another dollar
