I have a subscription but cannot watch live broadcasts!
I have a subscription through December, but when I try to watch, I am told to subscribe. When I sign in online, it says gain access, but when I click on gain access, then it says you are all set enjoy. The start watching icon button is now missing from the live broadcast page in the Apple TV app. I also cannot watch online for the same reason.

I have subscribed since 2018, but they appear to have more subscribers than they want, because this mediocrity drives viewers away. Do not waste your money!!!
Recently Archived Shows Removed
Because of the time difference between where I am and Australia, I mainly watch archived shows. Recently, a hold was placed on recently archived shows and then all shows after September of last year have been removed. Do not bother with this app. It is managed by people who apparently have all the viewers they need in Australia. NOT RECOMMENDED!
Apple TV App does not work with iOS 17
The app stopped functioning on Apple TV after iOS 17 update. When you press pause, the video continues to play, but the sound goes mute. Please correct this issue. You also sometimes get a second audio playing in the background. Not sure what causes that to happen. The app had been functioning well before the iOS update.
Requires Premium Subscription
App is now completely useless. You can no longer watch live, or archived shows without a premium subscription, which appears to be a third party site wholly unrelated to the app. Sky News may as well delete this app from the Apple platform.
Archived Shows Require Premium Subscription
Because I do not live in Australia, I watch some archive shows to keep up with events. This morning access to those shows was blocked saying I needed a premium subscription. Unfortunate, as i am not inclined to pay for something I only access occasionally.
No closed captioning?
I’m not deaf, but I am hearing impaired. I rely on closed captioning to help me understand what I’m hearing. It appears that there is no way to turn on closed captioning in this app, or perhaps Sky News Australia itself is not captioned. What a shame.
