Customers of Sky’s broadband-based Sky Glass and Sky Stream pay TV streaming devices and service may like to know that the media giant has recently released an updated Sky Remote app for Android and iOS (Apple) based Smartphones, which finally turns your mobile phone or tablet into a remote control for both platforms.
The new app recently popped up on both the Google Play Store (Android) and iTunes (Apple) as the v1.0.7291 release and comes in at around 28MB (MegaBytes) in size. At the time of writing, it’s only been downloaded over 100 times from the Play Store, so it’s clearly fairly recent or not yet very well known (Google says it was updated on 17th November 2025).
The app’s description says: “Enjoy all the entertainment you love, even without the physical remote. Change channels, navigate menus, search, pause and play. Even quickly switch between compatible TV devices in your home. Simply make sure devices are on the same WIFI so they can be controlled from the app.”
We’d also suggest using the direct links in the paragraph above to get the correct and official Sky app for Glass and Stream support, which avoids confusing it with several other (mostly unofficial) apps of a similar name. As above, the key consideration is to make sure that everything is using the same WiFi network, otherwise it won’t work.
