Also good to know:

If you use an Android version older than 7.0, the entire app will not be available

Ratings and reviews

While in the USA impossible to watch most titles. Lots of buffering and sometimes doesn’t play at all. Unusable this way. Used to work better. We have fast glass fiber optic internet, and can play FaceTime, live YouTube church broadcasts etc without buffering. The problem is only with the NPO app. All other apps works well except the NPO engineers seem to be incapable of making it work.

Many options are broken at random, like chrome cast icon not showing up. For multiple programs the seasons and episode categories are broken. More options are broken than working properly, main impression is that it is released without any testing or quality control. Low quality overall.

Apparently Chrome cast feature has either been removed or it has become faulty. The icon no longer appears even after applying my usual tricks. The ZDF app and Netflix still work, so it doesn't seem my fault. 😞
