Videoland is the Dutch version of Netflix. Of course there is also a handy iOS app. In this article we give you tips to get the most out of the Videoland app.
This is how you get everything out of the Videoland app
Videoland has a wide range of both English and Dutch series and films. The streaming service has 728 titles from Dutch soil and also offers 978 international films and series. The little ones are also thought of, because they can indulge themselves with 260 titles. Enough to watch, and the Videoland app is also very handy to use. But how exactly does it work? And what can you do with it? We’ll explain that to you.
1. Trial Period
Videoland works with a trial period of 14 days. You can try the service for free to see if you like it. Download the app and create an account. To get started, you must first verify your account number by transferring one euro cent. If you are satisfied, your subscription will continue after the trial period and an amount of EUR 8.99 will be debited monthly from that moment on.
2. Cancel subscription
If you don’t like the streaming service (anymore), you can easily cancel your Videoland subscription. Unfortunately, this is not possible in the app and you can do this via the website in your browser.
- Log in to the website;
- Click on your profile icon and then on ‘Account’;
- Under ‘Subscription information’, choose ‘Cancel subscription’;
- A confirmation email will then be sent to the email address you used to log in to Videoland.
3. Devices
The Videoland app can be downloaded on many types of devices. You watch series and films on Videoland via your laptop, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Chromecast and PlayStation. Videoland is easy to stream to your TV via AirPlay.
If that doesn’t work, you can of course always connect your laptop to your TV using an HDMI cable. If you have a smart TV, the app is often already installed. If not, it can be downloaded on your TV. When you start the app for the first time, you must of course log in.
4. Watch offline
When you are on the road a lot and watch series on your iPhone (or iPad), it can be useful to watch offline. You can download most series and movies from Videoland on your device. It is useful to do this before your trip if you have WiFi. That way you don’t use up all your data to stream. All children’s series and movies can be watched offline, as well as much of the adult content.
- Check whether the download icon is present with the title of your choice;
- Tap and confirm. Then wait for the download to complete;
- In the account menu you will find all your offline titles under ‘Downloads’.
Downloaded movies are kept in the app for 30 days, but this period differs for series. However, if you’ve started a movie or episode, you have 48 hours to finish it. After this period, the download will disappear automatically and you will have to reconnect to the internet. Be careful with long journeys, because the series and films can only be viewed within Europe.
5. Watch List
Do you have different series that you really want to start again, but are you already working on another series? Then it is possible to add films and series to your watch list. When a friend recommends a series or movie, all you have to do is add it to the list in the app. When you’ve had enough, open ‘My Watch List’ and you’ll see all the series you still wanted to watch.
