Awesome, thats 8 out of 2978 apps worth downloading!
Anyone confirm if the app is searchable using Siri voice search similar to the Netflix app?
Wooooooo can't wait to download it
Now if only they got off this region-locking rubbish and offered it outside the UK. As a matter of fact, all content producers should just end their utterly ridiculous need to region control content!
Really? CoolYou won't need to. It'll be there already. Much to my annoyance.
Really? Cool
Well, we dont get your stuff, why should you have ours?Now if only they got off this region-locking rubbish and offered it outside the UK. As a matter of fact, all content producers should just end their utterly ridiculous need to region control content!
Yep. Apple think you need the iPlayer in your life, they'll save you the effort of launching the App Store and installing it yourself.
That's most probably on the cards. The BBC is getting a little desperate with regards to it's funding. The laws around the licence fee are changing in the coming 12 months to incorporate catch up services as licensable. Currently catch up does not require a licence. I suspect this was a reason for them creating the app... It means more people will be forced to purchase a licence, when the loophole is closed.
Doubtful. Im sure the BBC were developing before "that guy" made his Auntie App. The BBC Online Development Teams, App Teams and producers all do a lot - this was just one of the apps.The only reason this app came out now was because that guy made his own BBC app in a few days and then posted it online to shame them into it. From what I understand, anyone who has an iOS video app already doesn't have to do much extra work to port it to the TV.
It only auto installed if you had previously downloaded the iOS app
The word you're looking for is 'subsidise'.The word you're looking for is "subsidize".

Why should UK license payers supplement those people?
