RaiPlay is also available as an Android TV app. After installing the RaiPlay app on your smart TV, you have three options to log in: pair the TV device by framing the QR code that appears on the TV screen with the smartphone or tablet on which you already use the app RaiPlay or perform the association by entering the numerical code that appears on the screen in the “Associate TV” section of RaiPlay (accessible on the mobile app from the More > Settings > Smart TV section and on RaiPlay browsing from the Support > Associate TV menu); you can also opt for the standard access process and therefore enter the credentials (email and password) of your Rai account on the TV.

The functionality is available in multi-user mode, for use with family and friends.

We remind you that from abroad you will only be able to access part of the content available on RaiPlay: the live broadcast of the Rai News24 channel and the on-demand catalog of works for which Rai holds the related distribution right via IP.

Ratings and reviews

It was very good until the latest November 2019 update. I can no longer download the shows to view them offline and half the time I'm getting internet connection errors eventhough my WiFi and Mobile Data speeds are 150Mbps at least. Also, some of the shows no longer display the full list of episodes for you to select. In short, the app has become beyond useless and annoying since the latest update. Please revert back to the old format!

You can't play anything from abroad. It's also quite confusing. You can install the app (not sure why you can if you can't play anything), then you see content (most of which is displayed as "not available") and when you click on some available content, you see a pop up "sorry we can't stream in your country". Dear RAI, you make great content and I love your documentaries. If you really want to be so restrictive, just don't allow downloads abroad outright!

The mobile Apps was perfect since few months back. Now, 9 out 10 times crashes, stays locked on the initial screen, give me message data cinnection is missing and so on. Very dissaponting because without this app there is no way for me to follow up on italians news and program. Can someone collect this feedback and do something?
