Canal + Rwanda has launched its free software application, Canal + app, to allow clients access content on different portable devices.
It was launched on Thursday, May 4 during a ceremony that was graced by the French Ambassador to Rwanda, Antoine Anfré, alongside other Canal + partners and members of the press.
The software application launched is set to allow its clients access all Canal + TV content via their smartphones, tablets, personal computers or Apple and Android TV in a live or on-demand format.
Using the app, you can access more than 200 channels including all the local channels, 70 African channels, 29 Canal + own channels, 9 news and information channels, 17 scientific discoveries and 10 youths and cartoons channels among others.

You can also watch up to 250,000 programs in replay of up to eight hours including Kids programs available on Nathan TV.
The software application also allows one to download certain programs and watch them offline.
"To simplify our clients’ experience, we want them to walk with their screens wherever they go, to avoid missing any content because of any circumstance like power outage among any other challenge,” Sophie Tchatchoua, Canal + Rwanda’s Managing Director, announced during the launch.
She reiterated that the app will provide more fun to Canal + clients: "In case you are stuck on the road, or in a very distant location, no need to travel home to watch your favourite programs, they will all be available on your portable devices.”
Partnership with Mango Limited
The app was also designed in a less-consuming data mode.
It is free, but it also has a feature of using cheap data bundles as one is able to watch videos in three less data consuming video qualities.
To enforce that, Canal + has also joined hands with one of the internet service providing partners, Mango Telecom, to ease internet affordability for those who will be using the app.
If you download and use the app using Mango Telecom internet, you will immediately get seven free GBs.
Canal + app can be found on Play store.
