Sky News says it has reached the 10-million download milestone for its mobile applications – across iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and Blackberry.
The jump from 9 million to 10 million downloads has taken five months with Android app growth especially strong and representing nearly half the rise in downloads since November.
Sky said the Ukraine crisis and the missing Malaysian Airliner have been recent big drivers to the app’s content.
