This update contains bug fixes and enhancements. Video and audio quality is of a suitably high standard, and you have the option of dropping image quality if your connection is not up to the task of delivering high quality content. Another omission is offline viewing - unfortunately it is not possible to download shows to watch when you do not have an internet connection. For most people this is not going to be a problem, particularly considering that the app is only available for the iPad not the iPhone, but the option of making use of a 3G connection would have been nice. There are a few niggles with the app, the first being that it is only possible to use BBC iPlayer over a wifi connection. This means that you can quickly jump to new episodes as they become available without the need to scour the rest of the available videos. If there is a programme you always watch online, you can add it to a list of favourites for easy access. You can also browse through the schedule to check what you can look forward to in the near future.

The BBC iPlayer app is a piece of iOS software that has been eagerly anticipated.
