The function of the app is very problematic compared to the competition. Examples: *When (chrome-)casting a live stream, you cannot move backwards to already played content. *When buffering you cannot se how far you have watched on a programme. When the stream then crashes and forgets where you were, which happens frequently, you have to guess. *Extremely poor performance on slow connections. On YouTube I can watch multiple videos in the time it takes for SVT to display available ones.
You pause the video, and switch apps or lock the phone. Then it just randomly starts playing in the background, with the audio audible. It might randomly start playing again in your pocket, or when you unlock your phone and use some other app. It's been like that for years, really terrible for an otherwise great app. This is the same on an Samsung Galaxy S9, S8 and my daughters Motorola something android phone
Very good choice of things to watch but sometimes fails to cast to chromecast (casting symbol missing). Starting YouTube and cast from there will bring back the cast button to SVT-play. Also in one of five times the SVT-play app isn't populated with anything to watch - only closing SVT-play and restarting it will bring back content to the app. Please fix, these issues have been apparent for as long as I can remember.
Good app, great to have videos on demand but this type of app should not be funded by taxpayers, should be privately funded. The casting feature does not work flawlessly, it often buffers the video making it only viewable on the mobile screen. There are issues with the subtitles as well. Also there are no personal accounts for this app, everything is saved locally on the device. So forget about creating favorites or "watch later" lists.. this is a missing crucial feature.
Please fix autohiding of the player controls. I often watch Rapport and other shorter programs, and for some reason the play controls are never hiding, so the image is very dim and obscured by the controls. Not sure if it's related to the running time of the show?
Some programs are not displaying in other countries than Sweden. I don't have autorotation option on my phone and the app is not rotating the picture so everything is very small and hurts eyes during watching. SVT Barn is much better in this matter.
Problems with cromecast, loosing device and unble to redetect it (works with other apps). Problems with resuming and jumping in stream. Search function almost useless. Suggestions function not good.
Cannot play anything since last update. It's just a black background with controls showing. Nothing happens when I press play. All other controls seem to work.
While chrome casting the series, it suddenly stated to play all the next episodes. Tried reinstalling the app but did not help. TV is samsung smart . Same problem even on Android mobile.
The app is really good to watch swedish programs but it is not working with chromecast. Only one video can be casted before Chromecast is not responding.
App on Samsung TV frequently stops playing videos and provide error code. Seems like the app not buffers or reinitiates sessions. None of YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, ComHem & T4Play apps have the same issue
One of the best things about SVT is that their digital transformation was before the times when it came to streaming and the availability and reliability of this app is another great example of SVT and public service at its best.
Very pissed off. Can´t see Svt play anymore in my Ipad.
Why this app running incomplete on samsung A10 tablet? For example i can't see the complete picture of episods and also their names . I uninstalled and installed it again and again but nothing changed.
It WAS amazing, I used it to learn Swedish until subtitles just stopped working, for no reason. Well played guys.
Pause, ff, rew does not work on android......to pause you have to close the app.
The new version stops working after viewing one episode. Need to restart app to start a new episode.
It's wonderful the not so hysterical Swedish news boring no not in this environment of everything being like a end of the world movie hi guys from Boston Joe I've been here a long time and I've got a few Tales to tell but we'll save that for later carry on your good work I love this app
No chrome cast and doesn't work at all on Samsung TV app.
forced update, FAIL. As soon as alternative is found this gets trashed.
Pathetic app. Always buffering. Pls stop publishing such pathetic Apps. There is no way you can watch a game of football
Works flawless on both the device and for casting.
Great easy to use and at any time
Unreliable, doesn't play 95% of the time.
Please stop sending push notifications!
Will there be an update soon so you can set the local news (not the Stockholm news) for live streaming? SR manage this, så why not SVT?
Not good app crashes, no good interface
Really good app. Works really well with my chromecast. One minus is that I can't switch off the swedish subtitles, although the app has that option, which is slightly irritating.
