though Sky Go is on android as per say it has extremely bad support for example it still doesn't work on my nexus 5 which is more than capable or running it the app installs and runs perfect but refuses to login thanks to skys horrid white list, if netflix can do it on basically every android going since ICS there's no reason sky cant

In the case of Sky Bet it's because Google don't permit gambling apps in the Play Store, and Sky have obviously made a decision to only distribute their Android apps in the Play Store.
