All the apps I've used recently use QR codes (or similar measures, like a sync code) that has you log in from the phone, so it should work anyway!

But not all apps, sadly, I just experimented it with Crunchyroll, and saw my dad struggling with a crappy app called Vix yesterday.

Fair enough. I'm mostly using "big ones" plus SmartTube.

In my experience the only one that works with any degree of reliability is YouTube. Even the Netflix one can be fairly intermittent.

Also a lot in the time you'll go away and the hotel you're in will have a smart TV and the software was last updated in 2011 so you have to sign in on the device.
