Relative to Netflix - the NEON app is very average in terms of usability. Describing it as 'dogsh!t' relative to the superior Netflix app is just colourful language on my part. I have never had issues with the app crashing or forgetting my place etc like other users have reported. It works great for me...functionally.
NEON works okay - but Sky need better than Ok. And it's the little things that add up. For example, if I stop watching an episode or movie part way through...when I go back into the app I should be able to resume watching from where I left off with one click like I can with Netflix.
There are a number of things like that which annoy me about NEON...it's functional, gives me a reliable stream of great content BUT is lacking in key areas.
I think I have been reasonably consistent about my Sky streaming criticisms in the past.
And don't get me started on the fact I still have no AppleTV NEON app :( Compounding this issue is the fact that NEON only supports the worst version of Airplay. Once I start playing a show and Airplaying it to my AppleTV...I can't minimise the iPhone app so that I can use my phone.
I mean, Christ Almighty! What is the world coming to when a man can't surf the web while watching his stories?!
Still, it could be worse. I had the misfortune of being locked into a Vodafone TV contract for 12 months a while back. Now that platform is, without any doubt, an absolutely stinking piece of cr@p. Functionally ok...reliable stream. But Jesus Christ Almighty on a Unicycle!...to try to navigate around that UI...I couldn't get rid of it fast enough.
