Comments about BBC iPlayer Android Version
Auto play does not work when downloading episodes, this is a big thing when you are getting ready for a 4 hour drive with a 2 year old. Also if you have watched an episode before and rewatch it the recording starts with 3 minutes of the episode left. Issues need fixing as it's not worth using for the kids.
the shows are good and typically entertaining, but the apps UI leaves a lot to be desired. theres no option for autoplay when youre watching through old shows, it doesn't save it properly when youve finished an episode, so when you click back onto the show it takes you to the episode you were just on. also typically the first season of the show so you have to click through to the one youre watching. overall clunky and not very user friendly. oh well!
2024, some years since my last review and STILL the screen does not rotate. Still no option to view at a chosen bitrate (iPlayer consumes more data per minute viewed than any other streaming service) and STILL issues with broken downloads that restart from scratch rather than picking up from where they were interrupted. Like I said, it's 2024 and these basic functions should be par for the course for any streaming service, not basic functions that have yet to be fixed.
