Customer Reviews
£60 a year
I like to view news from various sources to get a clearer overview of an event, £60 is too steep to include Sky News!
Not impressed one little bit.
I used to use this quite a lot, however I am not impressed at all that I need to pay for this now and have stopped using it altogether. I now use their competitors which freely provide a similar service.
Why Pay £60
There is plenty of better value news apps and free content via the web. I think Freemium model would have been a better choice.
For TV subscribers however a nice addition to there subscription.
