-back up on the 7th I see on iPlayer the bbc is no longer funded by the government, free for over 75 is being terminated in August and a privately funded pay model is being implemented. Not sure how this directly relates to uk player functionality yet
Great idea terrible delivery

I paid 10 bucks to download this to be able to watch noughts and crosses and I can’t even select an episode or start at the beginning. If I could get my money back I would. Waste of time.
I’m confused

Episode Issues

I really enjoy this app because I love watching British shows. I started getting into them when Eastenders was on BBC in the US. What I don’t like about this app is the follow through with series. I start watching and get really involved and then there are no more episodes. For example, I really enjoy the A Word and there have not been any episodes past the first one. This is an occurring problem.
Nice TV

Hi it’s lovely being able to watch British tv once again it’s just like being at home I still wish I could get football. I like Living over here with the warm weather but just can’t take the tv anymore thank you ITV and BBC.
We cannot get the search function to work either. Please fix! We love the app.

Currently the search function is broken — but in my experience they always fix problems when notified. I have had this app for years on a couple of accounts, and have always been so grateful for the reliable, readable interface (even on my tiny iPhone SE), reliable function, and ability to stream live bbc channels or watch a selection of programs. (I believe the issues of occasional repeat listings for identical shows, or being able to find only episode 1 of a series, are down to the bbc. If you want to follow a series, you basically have to catch it once a week when they are showing it. Bbc often will bring back the first episode of a show and not bring back the rest). Thanks for a great app!
Waste of money

This app is a complete waste! What is the point of making an app of this kind without being able to watch/search for specific episodes of a series?! Spending this much money on an app should give a person more freedom in choosing programming. And when you consider this has been a complaint since it was first made, I doubt this horrible company has any desire to fix the issue. Not worth the purchase.
