Free entertainment app for Qatar Airways
Qatar Airways Oryx One is a free-to-use entertainment app that lets the passengers of Qatar Airways access the library of ORYX ONE, the in-flight entertainment system of the airline. This portable travel platform lets passengers check and browse the shows and tracks available on their flights. The app also lets users access digital copies of publications like newspapers and magazines, and download them for free.
With an intuitive app layout and a massive library, Qatar Airways Oryx One is an app that improves the customer experience and helps the environment. It’s a great companion to the Qatar Airways app.
A handy entertainment tool
One exciting aspect of Qatar Airways Oryx One is that it serves two purposes. One is to improve the flying experience of its passengers by letting them prepare their custom playlists before their flight. The other is to help save the environment by giving passengers access to a vast catalog of digital publications instead of picking up physical copies that end up as trash.
In terms of the app itself, it has over 3,000 viewing and listening materials distributed across flights. Right on its home page, you can put flight details such as your source and destination and see what’s available. Surprisingly, it contains the latest materials to keep you updated while on the air. It includes FIFA World Cup Matches Live onboard selected flights.
It’s worth noting that Oryx One is not a standalone streaming platform like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. While you can create playlists to listen to while on flights, you can’t play tracks on your app. The same applies to the videos; it only features trailers to give you an idea of what to expect. Unfortunately, it suffers from performance issues on specific phone models by lagging or outright freezing.
A fun pre-flight tool
If you’re the type of passenger particular with the shows and tracks on your flight, Qatar Airways Oryx One is a must-have if you’re flying Qatar Airways. It presents its massive library in a streamlined app layout that works with most phones, although not all. While it doesn’t let you watch or listen to content from your device, you can browse for content that cater to your media needs.
