Sky has launched an updated version of its Sky Go app for Sky Glass and Sky Stream customers, making it easier for subscribers to watch entertainment and live sport on the go.
The new version of the app gives Sky Glass and Sky Stream subscribers more ways to watch Sky across their TV, mobile, and tablet.
It is based on the look and feel of Sky OS, the operating system for Sky Glass and Sky Stream, with a focus on helping subscribers move between the big screen and a mobile or tablet.
The updated Sky Go app enables subscribers to pick up where they left off on available shows, find saved favourites in My Library, and stream in full HD. Subscribers can also set recordings while they’re out. It is also designed to help customers find live sporting events more easily, via a dedicated sports section.
Sky Go is included with a Sky TV subscription, and Sky Mobile customers can stream on the go without using their mobile data.
Carli Kerr, Managing Director, Sky TV, NOW, said: “Great entertainment should fit around customers’ lives. Millions of customers already use Sky Go to watch what they love when they’re out and about. The new version is designed for Sky Glass and Sky Stream customers, bringing more of the experience they enjoy on the big screen to their devices, so it’s easier to pick up a show, follow the match or set something to record wherever they are.”
Sky recently officially agreed terms to acquire ITV Media & Entertainment for £1.6bn. Discover more here.
