About this app

With SVT Play, you can watch SVT's programs and broadcasts when and where it suits you best.

With the app you can:
- Look at SVT's content
- Continue watching programs you started following under For you
- Search and browse categories
- Play on your TV via Chromecast

Programs can have different rights that determine how long they are available in the app. The rights also govern which programs you can watch when you are abroad. The app only shows the programs and features that are available where you are.

If you experience problems with the app, please visit our help forum, http://www.svtplay.se/hjalp, where you can both search for solutions to known problems and ask new questions.

Ratings and reviews

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

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.

Good over all but users should be able to create an account imo, if I watch something on the app I have on the TV and then want to continue watching from my phone I have to fast forward to where I was, no sync, this would be easily solved by letting us create an account and keeping track via that
