### 4/5 — 한국에서 SVT보고있는 학생입니다

*2024-11-08*

화질 좀 고쳐주세요….

**Developer response:** 죄송하지만 한국어 지원은 제공되지 않습니다.

### 3/5 — Ja, Engelska tack!

*2020-06-02*

Pretty good, but as someone who am’s also not so familiars with the Swedish language, I also would like to see an English subtitles option!

### 3/5 — Average

*2019-07-24*

Even though I do enjoy some of the programs. Most of the programs does not download and I do have a good reception. 
Also when I play a program I can not find what I am already watching. Is annoying.

### 4/5 — Great

*2010-04-13*

Its my best app, can keep up with swedish tv since i moved to england. Would give it 5, but i cant play it through my tv, hope that'll get fixed.

### 4/5 — Copyright challenge

*2010-02-16*

Works great and loads video fast. Only challenge is that many clips are not viewable in the US due to copyright laws. If this can be fixed, a definate 5 star app!

### 5/5 — Bra for MF

*2010-02-15*

This is wonderful, at LAST!
Now I can keep in touch with MF while in London, UK :-)

### 1/5 — Laggar

*2026-02-10*

Vet inte vad de gjort med appen? Har flera streaming appar som fungerar men SVT bara laggar!

### 1/5 — Apple TV

*2020-05-06*

Appen hänger sig varje eller varannan gång när man ska spela nästa avsnitt av ett program med någon text om att ett fel har uppstått. När ska ni fixa det så man inte behöver starta om appen och försöka 5-10 ggr innan man kan spela upp?

### 1/5 — Extrem försämring

*2016-12-22*

Varför förstöra en väldigt snygg och lättnavigerad app? Ta genast bort minimeringsknappen som sticker i ögonen hela tiden och gör att jag inte ens kan/vill använda appen! Backa, backa...

### 1/5 — Was a great app, now no more than html5 wrapper.

*2012-09-13*

My 3 year old daughter could operate the app (1.0, 1.2) without help - not any more. There are so many extra clicks needed.
A child is a good test of interaction. This new app is not intuitive.
 
These were issues asked and detailed during the beta testing.
Who quality controlled this? Seriously. Disaster.

Min 3-åriga dotter kunde hantera er app utan hjälp – inte nu längre. Det krävs så många extra klick.
Ett barn är ett bra test av en fungerande interaktion. Denna nya appen är inte intuitiv.
 
Dessa frågor ställdes under beta-testningen.
Vem kvalitetskontrollerade det? Allvarligt. Katastrof!

### 1/5 — Does it work abroad?

*2011-11-23*

So far it hasn't worked a single time. Is it the case hat it only works in Sweden? Perhaps that could be noted somewhere?

### 1/5 — Awsome

*2010-02-22*

Works a treat.

### 2/5 — Crashes every time I try to watch Game of Thrones...

*2012-03-14*

It works for some short clips though

### 2/5 — Please update!

*2012-03-01*

Worked ok at one time but has since lost the ability to load and watch programs.

### 2/5 — Ny verision

*2011-03-12*

Man laddar ner den senaste verisionen men den säger fortfarande att det finns en ny när man startar den. Och den spelar upp ljud men inte video fortfarande. Kom igen SVT eran utvecklings avdelning saknar något.

### 2/5 — Sound and video is not synced

*2010-07-22*

Using the app on an iPhone 4, the sound and video is out of sync. The video stops playing after a while and i just get the quicktime logo. I'm on wireless.

### 5/5 — Great !

*2021-12-31*

Great App and fantastic that SVT offer a lot of good content also outside of Sweden.

Would be great if this app would also let you download that same content for viewing offline and while travelling.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your feedback! /Märta

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2019-05-19*

I really love this app. I used it to watch the Eurovision Song Contest here in NYC and it worked perfectly the entire time I “mirrored” it with my Apple TV box.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2011-03-13*

This is a great app to watch Swedish tv. I would to see an iPad version!!

### 5/5 — Finally here!

*2010-10-29*

Brilliant! Beautiful! Get this and SR poddradio app -- two must-haves for all Swedish lovers. 
Did I say this is a beautiful app? It is. 
Now let's do the iPad version

### 5/5 — Fixa en iPad-app tack!

*2010-04-30*

Underbar app, om ni nu bara kunde fixa en iPad-app... :P

### 5/5 — Svt play app

*2010-04-19*

Please, make an app for iPad too, soon!

### 5/5 — Great app - also for iPad

*2010-04-15*

Streaming TV, works like a charm on my iPad. Menu is made for iPhone, but the programs are sharp.

### 5/5 — Awesome app ... now, please make it run on the iPad too.

*2010-04-08*

This is a kick-*** app. If I could run this on my iPad, I would be soooo happy.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2010-02-23*

Videos load quickly and it even has the text on some broadcast so you can read along. Very easy to use; very good design. Skitbra!

### 5/5 — Simply the best!

*2010-02-21*

SVT, Swedens public broadcaster, delivers an amazing browsing experience. Far better then most US services.
