Play Suisse

Die Idee ist toll, die App muss noch verfeinert werden. Eine Offline Funktion wäre super für Auslandsreisen und Flüge etc.!

I thoroughly admire the project's central idea: bringing Swiss movies and shows together on one platform, in all languages. However, there are glaring omissions in the app’s features. First, there’s no possibility to share anything. If I find a great documentary and want to share it with my friends, I just can’t! Implementing a Share Sheet is trivial... Secondly, the app does not support iOS 14’s Picture in Picture. Again, if you are using AVFoundation, it’s almost trivial. Thirdly, search is monolingual. Indeed, if my app is in French and I search for « Der Bestatter » there are no results... This limits discoverability, especially for bilingual users.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a new app this buggy. I guess SRG had a deadline and decided to ship what they had and fix it later. Awaiting the bug fixes ...
