Ratings and reviews

Everything good pales against the--in my view--disrespectfully high frequency of ads. It's too easy to hit the "next episode" button given that the navigation generally is not hard but certainly less convenient. The app won't keep up in an effective, intuitive way with your progress through a series between visits, and when you search through episodes to get to where you were, up to nine ads await at every move. I don't expect an insufferable US-style 'viewing' experience from a BBC affiliate.

good choice of programmes. documentaries, etc, but for me, personally, they are ruined by the excessive advertising breaks. very much understandable why the programmes are recorded on other catch-up tv so you can fast forward the advert. I'm one of those. If I see an advert on tv or even YouTube, I will purposely not buy that product. BBC iplayer, yes, you pay for BBC, but it's well worth it, not watching something, then 10 minutes later interrupted by 3 minutes of advertising.

Picture and sound come up OK, but with no access to any controls. Can't put up subtitles, can't send to Chromecast, can't pause and resume while I go for a wee, can't do anything but watch and hope that "oops something went wrong" doesn't appear - again. Virtually unusable as it is!
