Mit diesem Update feilen wir am Inneren. Wir haben einige Systeme aktualisiert und so die Performance verbessert. Außerdem ist der Player nun in der neuesten Version integriert, die bald zusätzliche Funktionen ermöglicht. Zuletzt haben wir einen Fehler der neuen personalisierten Bänder auf der Startseite (nur mit ARD-Konto) behoben.

I switched from the old ARD app to this new version today, for my Tatort addiction 😉. Just a bit of feedback to improve: the subtitles have a black background, can't you make it transparant, it's not visually pleasing. Furthermore, there are no dates of original broadcast anymore, would be great to see them in the list of episodes. And last but not least, to me it seems the quality of video has been downgraded compared to the old Das Erste app. Is this temporary? Oh, am using Android TV btw.

Great functionality and great for catching up on German TV

I installed in Android TV, I was extremely happy to get Deutsche culture exposure through live TV ( very few channels ) movies but was extremely disappointed to see age restrictions is removed only by using German passport credentials & not by my paasport. I can't use my country's identity card number. They must enable our UID Card here.

It's 20.01, about a month since other reviewers mentioned the problem, and still, the Mediathek app randomly opens as a default browser when clicking links that has nothing to do with it (I wasn't prompted to chose a default browser, it just randomly redirects to the hopepage of the app when clicking a link in an email in gmail, for example)

Animations in sports Livestreams (ie. before and after replays during live sports) often cause multiple microstutters right after. probably buffering issue, maybe caused by Bitrate or key frames. Seems like an oversight during design phase. Needs to be better in QA. Also, lately live-menu didn't show any channel, unsure if one-time issue or persistent issue yet. I'd like to subscribe to recurring formats, otherwise profile is quite useless.

Since today's update (23.12.20), this app opens whenever I open any link in any other app (eg my email app or Whatsapp). Instead of a web browser, I'm confronted by the ARD app, that can't do anything with the link, of course. Same thing started happening on me wife's device at the same time, so it must be something to do with the update. Very very annoying - please fix, ARD. Update: beginner's bug still not fixed after weeks. Everyone in ARD development still asleep after Xmas?

Average content considering that it's funded by public money. And get your supported links setting in grip. Instead of supporting "*", you should just support "*.ard.mediathek". This will solve the problem of automatically opening browser/other links. Also there is no option to customise the playback speed.

Update: In general moves in the right direction with occasional set backs :) Mostly watch news and documentaries on my own schedule. Disappointed a lot of content is blocked online despite very high mandatory broadcast fees.
