Sky has announced a redesigned Sky Go app that promises an improved user experience and combines the existing features in the Sky Q app.

Rather than having two apps – Sky Go for watching live and on-demand content on laptops, tablets and smartphones, and Sky Q for more or less mirroring the Q box experience – as is the case now, Sky is introducing the new do-it-all Sky Go app to be a one-stop shop for Sky customers.

The refreshed Sky Go app’s new user interface is categorised into Home, TV Guide, Browse, Downloads and Recordings, the latter allowing Sky Q Multiscreen customers to view and control upcoming recordings and series links. (To activate the app’s Recordings feature, customers must connect the app to their Sky Q box.)

There’s now personalised Sky Cinema recommendations, too, and Sky has worked to improve navigation for visually impaired customers. For example, voiceover lets customers hear a description of everything they click on, and font size and colour contrast can be increased.
