It's 20.01, about a month since other reviewers mentioned the problem, and still, the Mediathek app randomly opens as a default browser when clicking links that has nothing to do with it (I wasn't prompted to chose a default browser, it just randomly redirects to the hopepage of the app when clicking a link in an email in gmail, for example)

Wir bedauern, dass Sie unser Angebot zuletzt nicht wie gewünscht nutzen konnten. Wir haben uns vollkommen und sorgfältig auf die Lösung der Probleme konzentriert. Das Update zu Version 8.5.2 mit einer Fehlerbehebung steht nun bereit. Wir freuen uns, wenn uns Ihre kritische Stimme erhalten bleibt und wünschen viel Spaß mit der ARD-Mediathek!

I had been using the App for at least 2 years with no issues and with the latest update are faced with all the problems previous comment described (crashing, opening browser etc) . What went wrong? My AmazonFire TV is having the same problems. Not sure if this is connected to the Android app but it also needs fixing fast!

Ja, auch Fire TV basiert auf Android. Wir arbeiten an einer Lösung. Bis dahin können Sie den Anleitungen auf hilfe.ardmediathek.de folgen. Dann sollten die Probleme nicht länger auftreten.

Since today's update (23.12.20), this app opens whenever I open any link in any other app (eg my email app or Whatsapp). Instead of a web browser, I'm confronted by the ARD app, that can't do anything with the link, of course. Same thing started happening on me wife's device at the same time, so it must be something to do with the update. Very very annoying - please fix, ARD. Update: beginner's bug still not fixed after weeks. Everyone in ARD development still asleep after Xmas?

What’s new

Dieses Mini-Update erschlägt eine Reihe kleinerer Fehler und verbessert die Stabilität: Fehlende Untertitel bei Offline-Inhalten, doppelt vorgelesenen Elementen bei Voice Over und andere kleinere Bugs wurden damit behoben.
