Multitask effortlessly on your PC or Mac as you try out france•tv : direct et replay, a Entertainment app by France Télévisions on BlueStacks.
So france•tv is basically the place to watch a whole bunch of French shows, either live or whenever you want on replay. There’s so much on there—series, cartoons, talk shows—basically anything you’d expect to see on big TV channels in France. It used to be called francetvpluzz, but now everything’s rolled up in this app, and it feels organized and easy to browse. Once you make a quick account, the app keeps track of what you like and gives recommendations, so it feels kind of tailored without asking for much effort at all. It’s cool that it works across pretty much any device, but throwing it on a PC with BlueStacks brings all that content to a bigger screen, which makes streaming nicer if you’re sick of watching on a phone.
People who are into French TV will probably appreciate the live feeds from channels like France 2, France 3 (with all the regional variations), and more. If someone misses an episode, most shows are up for a week on replay—stuff like Plus belle la vie or C à vous, all of that. Subtitles and audio choices are easy to switch, and there’s even audio description if that’s needed. The search actually does its job, which is handy for digging up everything from old cartoons for kids to current affairs and morning shows. The app makes it possible to cast programs to a TV with Chromecast, so there’s a way to share stuff or watch with friends. Sometimes some videos or live streams don’t work if you’re outside France, but there’s a setting to show just the stuff that is available abroad, which helps. Data use can get high if you’re just binging on mobile, so probably best to be on a decent Wi-Fi connection. The whole thing is free except for whatever your data provider might charge, and there are privacy settings that let people control their info. Not everything is perfect—sometimes there can be issues with playback, but those are kind of typical for video apps. For anyone wanting French shows with a reliable selection and plenty of options, this is a solid hub.
Big screen. Bigger performance. Use BlueStacks on your PC or Mac to run your favorite apps.
