Sky Glass arrived towards the backend of 2021 with plenty of hype, its aim of simplifying the TV viewing experience by taking care of picture, sound and content without any need for additional sound systems or streaming sticks.
You can read what we thought of it in more detail in our review but in short our reaction was mixed. Sky Glass offers a wealth of content but its picture performance underwhelms.
However, one of Sky Glass’ highlights was the sheer wealth of content available on the platform, and it’s not just Sky’s own library viewers can get access to, but content from the likes of Apple, Disney and Netflix. Since launch, Sky has added more apps to its line-up, so for a full list of what’s available on the Sky Glass platform, have a look below.
