Sky Store Player: Movies & TV

Great once films were downloaded...watched all the time. Since an upgrade few months back only a couple of the films I have downloaded will play...the other half dozen wont play. when I click to play/watch i just get blank screen on iPad and the timer going round... .....UPDATE: uninstalled app, reinstalled and downloaded all films again. They still will not start to play when offline, but if you start the film while connected, you can then disconnect and they will play offline, however, if you stop the film and come back to where you left off, you again need connection to play again. Ridiculous.

What a complete load of rubbish this app is. The only reason it got one star is because I couldn't give it a negative rating Like others have mentioned I got the app so I could watch TV/films whilst away on holiday during some long train journeys. Silly me for thinking that would be a good idea. Of the 12 items downloaded only four will play off line from the download. All the others just give me a blank screen and one tells me it's not compatible with my device (an iPhone 6) ! Even when I got to my hotel and used their wifi it didn't work. I'm not interested in any convoluted fixes to try and make it work I just want to watch the programmes/films that I've paid for when, where and how I want to using the app that I've been told is there for the purpose. If the only way to watch them is via my own wifi connection at home I may as well watch them on my TV. Believe in better the adverts tell us. I do. which is why I'll look elsewhere.

Great app for watching all your purchased movies and TVs programs. Could do with being able to rearrange the movie tiles or at least put them in alphabetical order so you can group movies and there sequels together. Also there is no need for the preorder tiles to stay after the movie has been added, the movie really should take the place of the preorder tile. Takes unnecessary time for me and Sky employees to have to remove these as they are incredibly irritating!!

If, like me, you want to build up your digital film library then it would be great to have a much wider choice of films to choose from, I know the different film companies need to come together on this but Sky is a very influential company and hopefully they can make this happen at some point, hopefully soon. Also why aren’t digital purchases available in UHD ??? Will they be available in UHD ??? Come on Sky, get your finger out, the reason I got Sky Q was fir the UHD content, and there ain’t much of it yet, and when digital purchases are available in UHD will my existing digital purchases be upgraded for free or at the very least a very reasonable low cost ???

I bought a film to watch in the sky store, after buying it and realising the very limited platforms that you can actually watch it on, I decided to buy a google chromecast as it told me that this was a compatible device to stream films on to from the app, after spending more money on a chromecast i then come to a realisation that it actually won’t let stream on to it and if you look on the sky store app it actually states that it is a compatible device! This is false advertisement and you will waste your money if you even bother. Buying films from the sky store is on beneficial if you have a sky box which not everyone has! I have always thought sky is a complete rip off and it proves me right still to this day!!!!
