There are some great ideas behind Sky, but right now the sample app does not even open anymore on my Nexus 5 and when it did, it just showed trivial content.
Displaying one spinning square is not impressive, you need to display 1000 if you want to make an argument for Sky.
I don't think that allowing the app to update its code on the fly is a good idea though. You lose the PlayStore automatic app analysis and those 5 seconds delays before launching any screen are not acceptable.
Maybe that Sky is the future of Android, but it seems it is still very very far away.
I am using the official demo app, which is be updated regularly.
It is probably trailing several weeks behind the dev branch, but I don't think it is very far behind.

You experience is probably dated as they are changing things quite fast. They are making hundreds of commits each week. I think there are more demos but not yet ready ( https://github.com/domokit/sky_engine/tree/fb814cabf61c1bd3b... ).
