I am grateful for the good range of shows that I can watch on the iPlayer. It means I don’t need a subscription service, I’m informed, inspired, comforted, in hysterics and gripped by the programmes available!

Growing up, I always wanted to watch TV on my own schedule. Now I use iPlayer to do that exactly as I wanted back then. Huge variety of UK-based content (unlike American channels, which I've also tried) that I can watch and usually revisit later. If everything was available from the entire history of the BBC it would be amazing (and probably impossible to store?), but there's more than enough to watch anyway. Our go-to app for TV-based entertainment.

is it the fault of the BBC or of Apple? Mirroring to another screen no longer works properly. Video is distorted. Horrid. Years back the iPlayer could not but eventually did manage to fix strangely teeny tiny HOH captions. That took quite a while. Has no one complained yet about this? Allow me to be the first. Every other app can be mirrored properly but this one. Hope this will take less time to fix. I am not going to live forever. Counting down the decades here. Fix the bloody thing, please & thank you. Cheers.

Truly the BBC lives on in its many offerings from current affairs to ground breaking series and stunning films. Long may it continue!

Some extra functionality would improve the user experience: 1) Ability to mark episodes in "Continue Watching" as watched. 2) Allow sorting of Watchlist e.g. to see which ones have the most recent unwatched episodes 3) Make the “TV Guide” a TV Guide. If I want to see a program synopsis I can only click on those programs that are available to watch (either live or catch-up). The “TV Guide” should include a synopsis of all programs (along with a message to say if or when they are available to watch).

When you offer me alerts and I don’t want them, the options should not be limited to ‘yes’ and ‘maybe later’. Heaven knows what you people are like on a first date but I hope we never have one.
