Though Sky says that ‘multiple generations’ of Fire tablets will be able to install the Sky Go app, there’s no comprehensive list of supported Amazon devices yet. Sky has confirmed that the new sub-£50 Fire tablet will be supported, however.
Luke Bradley-Jones, Sky’s director of TV products, commented: “It’s brilliant that Amazon Fire tablets are now compatible with Sky Go in time for the great line up of TV this December.
“There’s something for everyone to watch including Cinderella for princes and princesses, Geordie Shore for reality TV addicts and the World Darts Championship for those with a competitive spirit. And Sky Go is set to get even better in 2016, with more great content, and a series of exciting updates.”
Sky has been unable to confirm whether or not Amazon’s Fire tablets will be supported by the My Q apps. My Q is a feature of Sky Q, Sky’s forthcoming TV platform which promises a smooth, seamless viewing experience across multiple devices. Due for release early next year, Sky Q promises 4K Ultra HD TV content and the ability to record up to four programmes at once on the Sky Q Silver set-top box.

If you are an Amazon Firestick user and can’t figure out how to get the Sky Go app working, then this is the guide for you.
What is a Sky Go Firestick network error?
The Sky Go app is unfortunately not officially available on the Amazon Firestick. Thus, it has to be sideloaded to your device. We will also guide you on how to do that later in this guide.
Due to the absence of official support, the Sky Go app can sometimes act buggy on the Amazon Firestick. If you have been facing the network error issue on the Sky Go app on the Amazon Firestick, then let’s take a look at how to fix it.
First of all, check if you have a working internet connection on your Amazon Firestick. To do this, open the web browser and try opening a website such as Google. If your internet is working, you should check the internet speed. To do that head over to Fast.com and perform a speed test. If your internet speed is slower than 5Mbps, contact your internet service provider to upgrade or fix your internet as this could be the reason for the network error.
Why the Sky Go app won’t open on Firestick
If your Sky Go app on your Firestick crashes immediately after opening, a faulty installation could be the reason. Uninstall the Sky Go app, download the latest APK, and install the app again.
If this does not solve your problem, open the setting on your Firestick and head over to “Application”, then find the Sky Go app and open it. Here make sure that the permission for storage has been granted to the Sky Go app.
After performing the above steps, your app should start working normally.

How to put Sky Go on Firestick: 2020
As we mentioned above, the Sky Go app is not officially available on the Amazon Firestick. That is why we would have to install it via side loading. To do that, you have to first go to “Developer Option” in the settings. Then find and turn on the option to install apps from unknown sources.
Next, you need to download the “Downloader” app from the store. This would allow you to download the APK for the Sky Go app. To do that, open the Downloader app and go to this link and click on “Download APK”.
