RÚV spilar upptökur fyrir sjónvarps– og útvarpsrásir RÚV, í beinni útsendingu á símum og spjaldtölvum. Hlaðborð yfir nýtt efni í boði eru sýnd fyrir sjónvarps– og útvarpsefni. Leit og dagskrá er einnig í boði. Hægt er að horfa á sjónvarpsrásirnar og hlusta á útvarpsrásirnar. Útvarpið heldur áfram þó farið sé úr spilaranum og hljómar í bakgrunni, þegar slökkt er á símanum eða spjaldtölvunni og hægt er að velja útvarpsrásir með hraðsnertingu (e. 3D Touch). Útvarpið er öllum aðgengilegt, hvar sem er í heiminum. Fréttir í sjónvarpi eru einnig aðgengilegar allsstaðar en sumir dagskrárliðir eru ekki aðgengilegir utan Íslands, ef RÚV hefur ekki sýningarrétt. AirPlay og Chromecast stuðningur.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: RÚV at 4.3 against PEZ Play's 3.7. RÚV also leads on ratings volume (227 vs 26) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). PEZ Play's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 29%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RÚV holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RÚV has 227 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of PEZ Play's written reviews are positive against 29% of RÚV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PEZ Play ships an update every 2 months, RÚV monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
