Comments on BBC iPlayer for Android

★★★★☆ John Nicholas · Sep 29, 2016
This used to be utter garbage. But the BBC seem to of changed to an adaptive algorithm so now the quality you get is good. I haven't done a true A B test, but it is at least 90% of the quality the samsung tv does natively. I was only watching cartoons. IE the really negative reviews are out of date (they were bang on at the time though)
★★★★★ John Jennings · Apr 22, 2017
Re: Paul G, it started working again after 24 hours. A network error/change from BBC I assume. Works very nicely with the Shield remote. Now, Nvidia, if you'd make a compatible version of other British TV apps (All 4 / ITV Player etc.) it would be wonderful since the app makers themselves seem unwilling to add Android TV compatibility!
★☆☆☆☆ Chris Strathie · Feb 20, 2016
Very unreliable and temperamental. Makes the box pretty useless without getting onto iPlayer
★☆☆☆☆ Stephen Amos · Dec 25, 2015
The blacks are light gray, what's going on?! The user interface has dark, near black elements, however video playback shows things that should be black as light gray! The shield tv device shows true blacks properly on every other app, so I know my 4K OLED is not set up incorrectly. I have maybe more than 10 other BBC iPlayer programs that don't have this problem.
★☆☆☆☆ Stephen Salter · Feb 28, 2020
Can't install on nvidia shield 2019 (tubular) and it no longer works correctly on 2015 shield due to screen split corruption after recent OS shield upgrade. Please fix.
