Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
Our favourite BBC shows, whenever we want? Perfect! With the option to download and watch offline, we actually look forward to commutes and long flights. And the range of programmes is astounding—from the newest and best to iconic old classics.
Downloads
This app is great, it allows me to watch a large amount of shows at the press of a button, and all for free.
The only problem I have with the app is downloads, I think they are great. But the one problem I have is that you can only select one show to download or be put in the queue at a a time. When watching later seasons of a show that has a lot of seasons, like Doctor Who, it gets really annoying having to scroll to the series, then scroll down to the episode I want to download, then have to scroll back to the series again because it puts you right back at season 1. Having the ability to select multiple shows at once to be put in the queue would be a major benefit.
Other than this problem, I think the app is brilliant.
Difficult to watch audio described programs on the app
Can the development team please put on the roadmap the ability to toggle audio description from the play screen?
Currently, if I want to watch an audio described programme, I have to go into the audio describe section. If I’m lucky, the episode I want will be featured on the first page, otherwise I have to go into the A-Z and find the program i want. However, if it is a series, only the latest episode is shown with audio description. If I select a previous episode, the audio description doesn’t work. Also, if I’m watching an audio described episode from a series and the next episode launches automatically with auto play enabled, the next episode doesn’t play with audio description, even if the website shows that audio description is available. Also, at the moment you cannot currently download audio described programs.
Confusing to read? It certainly is a confusing way to try and watch audio described programs.
