ORF ON (TVthek) App Reviews

I love being able to see what is on TV. My Mom lives in Enzesfeld and I live in the Northeastern USA. I find it gives us something to talk about. Sometimes I even get to tell her what is coming up to watch. We both like music shows - especially Volksmusik. However, lots of times you don't allow for these to be seen outside Austria. That makes me have to find a different way to watch if even possible. That defeats the purpose for having the app at all. Can that be remedied?

Even though the other reviewers' complaints about the apps limitations are understandable, the limitations, even though a disappointment, are perhaps equally as understandable. Often specific content requires specific legal license agreements which are not always easy to maneuver around. Nonetheless, perhaps ORF can work on those and look at their German neighbors ARD, ZDF etc... on the hand, the ORF app allows for live streaming of some content whereas ARD and ZDF do not have that feature.

I live in Montreal and this App gives me the opportunity to watch news and shows with Austrian content. It is disappointing however that many programs cannot be watched in North America due to copyright etc. In such cases I try to find these programs on other Apps like 3Sat Mediathek, ARD etc. Ich würde gerne alte österreichische Filme sehen.

Wie es im Titel steht. Ich versuche das Playback mit AirPlay auf meinem SmartTV zu schauen aber es gibt andauernd “freezes” oder das Playback wird mit “errors” unterbrochen. Alles lauft ganz ohne Probleme auf iPad ohne AirPlay. Es würde viel netter auf TV zuschauen zu können.

Just too often: error messages that make the player stop loading. Great that shows are now available linger.

Great app, keeps me connected with my homeland. The only shortcoming I experience is, that there are too many restrictions as to what is available in the USA. I see a title that I am looking forward to, but no go. Maybe one day it will improve. Otherwise keep up the good work!

Why can orf not provide what zdf can do? Too many things that are not allowed to watch !! No folder for my favorites, like my ORF. Gruesse aus Atlanta

Why does Zib always tell me that the live stream will start in 0.51 or 0.45 or whatever minutes when its already 19.32h??? Recently I was unable to watch the first minutes of Zib. pls fix this!

First rate content but compared to YouTube slow and unreliable loading of content. Would also be great if content would be available for longer than 7 days. It really needs an upgrade!

viel zu viele abbrüche, error messages und crashes.
