The WODA-TV app on your iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac

Our own app for Apple devices, downloaded from the official App Store. Search for it by name: VAR. Got an Intel Mac? That one takes a different version.

The WODA-TV app on an iPhone

Works across your Apple devices

The same account works on all of them: sign in once on each device and that is it.

Step by step

How to install it on your Apple device

It comes from the official App Store, like any other app.

  1. 1
    Open the App Store

    The one on your own device: iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac each have their own.

  2. 2
    Search for the app by name

    In the store search box, type:

    VAR

    On the store it shows as “VAR Player - Unlock your world”.

    Reading this on the iPhone or iPad itself? Then you can skip the typing: this button opens the listing directly.

    Apple TV has no browser: there, type the name with the remote.

  3. 3
    Install it

    Press Get and confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your Apple password. The download is free.

  4. 4
    Open the app and name the playlist

    When it opens it asks first for the Code or Server Number: type 801, the same for everyone. Then, on the Add User screen, where it says http://url:port, type WODATV exactly like that, one word in capitals, and below it your username and password. You have it box by box further down. You only do this the first time.

💡
Got several Apple devices? Repeat steps 2 and 3 on each one: the app name is the same on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac, and so is the account.
💻
Is your Mac an Intel one? Those cannot install the App Store app. They have their own version: download it here.
Intel Macs only

Your Intel Mac has its own version

It does not come from the App Store: you download it here and install it like any other Mac program. The account is the same.

Download WODA-TV for Intel Mac

It is called WODA-TV-MAC-NEXT.dmg and weighs about 41 MB.

  1. 1
    Download the file

    Press the button above. It usually lands in your Downloads folder, named WODA-TV-MAC-NEXT.dmg.

  2. 2
    Open it and drag the app into Applications

    Double-click the downloaded file. A window opens with the app icon: drag it onto the Applications folder, the way you would with any Mac program.

  3. 3
    If macOS says it cannot check the app

    That is the normal Apple warning for programs that do not come from its store, not an error. Close the warning, find the app in Applications, right-click it and choose Open. It asks once more, and this time it lets you through. It only happens the first time.

  4. 4
    Sign in with your account

    When it opens it asks for the same details as on the iPhone: in Code or Server Number type 801, and on Add User, where it says http://url:port, type WODATV; the username and password are yours. You have it box by box further down.

🔎
Not sure whether your Mac is Intel or M? Open the Apple menu > About This Mac. If the «Chip» or «Processor» line reads Intel, this is your download. If it reads Apple M1, M2 or similar, your Mac uses the App Store app, just like the iPhone.

Signing in the first time

When you open the app it asks first for the server code and then for your details. Fill them in like this, in this order.

  • 1
    Code or Server Number Type 801. It is the same number for everyone: do not change it.
  • 2
    Add User Where it says http://url:port, type WODATV. Type it exactly like that: one word, in capitals, with no spaces.
  • 3
    Username Your WODA-TV username, the one we gave you when you signed up.
  • 4
    Password The password that goes with that username. Mind upper and lower case: that is the most common mistake.

✅ Confirm and that is it: you can start enjoying the service.

⌕

Search that actually finds

It searches the whole catalogue, not just the folder you have open. And accents do not matter: type «raiz» and «Raíz» shows up.

⏱

The app remembers where you were in every movie or episode, and you can keep your favourite channels and titles within reach.

◉

If something does not go as expected

The questions we get most, answered.

I cannot find the app by searching “WODA-TV” in the App Store

That is expected: on Apple's store it does not go by that name. Search for VAR: it comes up first, as “VAR Player - Unlock your world”.

Does it work on a Mac with an Intel processor?

Yes, but with a different version. Macs with an M chip (M1, M2, M3 and later) install the App Store app, just like the iPhone. Intel Macs cannot do that, so they get their own installer: download it here. The account and the catalogue are the same on both.

I downloaded the Mac file and macOS will not let me open it

That is the normal Apple warning for programs that do not come from its store. Find the app in your Applications folder, right-click it and choose Open: it asks once more and then lets you through. You only need to do this the first time. A plain double-click will just show the warning again.

How do I download a movie to watch offline?

Open the movie or episode detail and use the download option. It is saved on the device and you can watch it with no connection, on a flight for instance. It takes up space, so delete it once you have watched it.

What do I put in “Server Number” and in “url:port”?

In Code or Server Number type 801, and in url:port type WODATV. They are the same for every customer. The only details that are yours are the username and the password.

It says my username or password is wrong

It is almost always upper/lower case or an extra space at the end. Type them slowly and without autocomplete. If you are sure they are right, your account may have expired: your service provider can check that.

A channel keeps loading or cuts out

The app retries by itself for a few seconds. If it stays the same, try another channel: if the rest work, the problem is that one channel, not your installation. If they all fail, check your internet connection.

Can I use the same account on the iPhone and the Apple TV?

You can install the app on several devices. How many can watch at the same time depends on the plan you signed up for: your service provider can confirm that.
