An ARD account for the whole family: From now on, multiple profiles with their own watchlist, further viewing and personal recommendations can be created on the same device. We have also revised the main navigation and given the "My ARD" area its own icon. Most recently, we have addressed a few bugs, such as the synchronization of the content stored in the ARD account.

We wish you a nice Advent season!

A few highlights of the new version: The regional live streams of the WDR are now also available in the app, the playback on Chromecast does not start again from the beginning after the end, content removed from "Meins" disappears even without updating and around Merken and Meins- area we tightened a few screws. Only for registered users: The new profile symbols replace the initials. Further innovations for the profile are already in the works - ARD login is worth it!
With the New Year's greetings on our backs, we're off to a lively start with the first update. We now display additional information such as sign language, subtitles or original version on the thumbnails. Fixed a missing back button in the video window, playback errors of Arte content with Chromecast and a playback error related to the WebView and certain Android versions. We are also making technical preparations to be able to display the first ZDF content.
Nine...Ten! This version is definitely worth the jump! The most important innovation is our player, which now aligns all platforms, brings the first improvements and is already eager to jump to the highlights on the timeline for the upcoming World Cup. We know how often new playback features are requested. The new player marks the start of new features! Which function is still missing?
Know when the action starts - thanks to the optimized display on the thumbnails of live events and happenings! We also fixed minor issues and optimized some corners.

Now the cold season is approaching, but we are not despairing and have some long-awaited innovations in the starting blocks. In this version we integrate the new design for the overview of the live streams. In addition, the rotation behavior has been thoroughly optimized, minor errors and inconsistencies have been corrected and we are paving the way for further improvements.
We are still working on optimizations and new functions. This time, a major redesign under the program provides a better overview and shows what is already available in advance. We have also significantly reduced the data consumption when navigating through the app. Nonetheless, our tip: switch off autoplay in the settings when you are out and about.
For August we are putting some problems on the mat. Above all, we remove the incorrect rotation of the screen in full screen, the lack of subtitles in the live streams from HR and Phoenix and inconsistencies in the content in the course. The new display of the channel selection and the player page helps us to get to the Ippon. Greetings to Tokyo! Info: We are working with the broadcasters on a solution to existing problems with Chromecast. Thanks for your patience!
In a nutshell: We have resolved a bug in the display of recommendations, improved the filtering for stations in the search, fixed an error message when opening the crime scene under "AZ" and made small adjustments to the color scheme.
Summer starts, we're pushing the tube! With the new version we have improved a lot and the design shines in new splendor. The stage on our homepage now shows more information.
