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.

Auf die Darstellung der Untertitel haben wir keinen Einfluss. Wir haben Ihre Anregung aber aufgenommen & an die entsprechenden Kolleg*innen weitergeleitet. Bezüglich der Daten bin ich nicht sicher, was Sie genau meinen. Vermutlich beziehen Sie sich auf die Sendungsinformationen. Hier sind Verbesserungen bereits in Arbeit.

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.

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)

Wir bedauern, dass Sie unser Angebot zuletzt nicht wie gewünscht nutzen konnten. Wir haben uns vollkommen und sorgfältig auf die Lösung der Probleme konzentriert. Das Update zu Version 8.5.2 mit einer Fehlerbehebung steht nun bereit. Wir freuen uns, wenn uns Ihre kritische Stimme erhalten bleibt und wünschen viel Spaß mit der ARD-Mediathek!

What's new

Heute nur kleine Portionen Neues: Wir haben Fehler der Bedienung im Bild-in-Bild-Modus korrigiert, eine inkonsistente Darstellung bei Sendungen A-Z angepasst und ein Problem bei der Wiedergabe von Inhalten unter Android 7 behoben. Außerdem neu: Verbesserte Sichtbarkeit des Login!
