ZDF

ZDF Mediathek is a German app for a network of the same name that offers access to thousands of on-demand shows, livestreaming video of your favorite programs and more!

Depending on where you’re located you’ll be able to save shows and news programs to your phone or tablet to watch offline, and you can watch along live on ZDF and participate in user polls to make your voice heard.

You’ll also have the ability to get push notifications when your favorite program is live or when new on-demand videos are available, personalize your recommendations in your feed, and you can even pin news and programs so you can find them on other devices.

It needs to be said that this is a German app, so if you don’t speak German you probably won’t get much use out of this! That being said, ZDF offers the ability to stream live TV, watch documentaries and news programs, save for offline viewing and more, which makes it a pretty great download for German speakers looking to stay connected and informed while on the go.

Pros

• Over 30,000 On-Demand Videos Available Get access to thousands of on-demand shows, programs, livestreaming video and more with the app!
• Offline Viewing Available, Too! Depending on usage rights and your location (i.e. inside Germany) you’ll be able to download news and programs to your phone or tablet for offline viewing.

Cons

• Reported Issues with Nexus 7 Many users have reported issues running the app on Nexus 7, so watch out!
• Quality Can Drop Even on 4G Connections Users have also reported issues running ZDF app on 4G connections, so make sure you have LTE and above available to stream content.

Mit dieser Version könnt ihr bei Videos ab sofort das Intro überspringen. Auch wurde ein Problem behoben, das zu einem Fehler beim Übertragen von Videos auf den Chromecast führte.

Dieses Update ist erforderlich, damit alle Funktionen der App weiterhin genutzt werden können.
