★★★★★Lancelot· Apr 24, 2025
Fantastic App for watching ARD and other associated TV stations programs. It has the usual favorites, currently watching, functionality you would expect. Great program choice, and professional independent unbiased news reporting.
★★★★★Chris Kelley· Oct 8, 2026
I appreciate the app however I have two questions. 1. I used to listen to this on my Yamaha Network Stereo on the "Music Cast App" via Airble. Is this no longer going to be available on there? Now I have to download the app and connect with Bluetooth which is not as direct, sound wise. 2. is there a way to translate the app into English?

The variety of channels you can enjoy is great, but not all channels will play. I haven't been able to listen to RBB Radio 3 for example.

As a non-native speaker of German, I use the app to listen to interesting content but above all to practice my hearing and understanding. Often the spoken language is too fast, and I need to slow it down. The speed options in the app have clearly been designed by someone who has never needed to use this feature themselves: 0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x, ... If 1x is sometimes too fast for me, 0.75x is much too slow! More helpful would be options like this: 0.8x, 0.85x, 0.9x. 0.95x, 1x, ...

Interesting audiobooks, Hörspiele, etc. but the delivery is pretty bad, constant interruptions and delivery issues. At least the app asks for understanding, what a nice gesture. Overall pretty öffentlich-rechtlich, means taxpayer funded=doesn't work.

Somehow the all does not reliably run in background... Not relate to this app, but why are those podcasts not showing up in my standard podcast app? I don't see a point using another app to listen to podcasts.

Only very small-time window for radio playback. What a let- down. Hard to use for radio.

Google home streaming not working, whereas BR worked fine. I cannot listen to Bavaria 3 anymore.
