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.

Daily ritual lol
I’ve been watching EastEnders since I was 13 years old. I absolutely love it. I remember watching it when we only had like three or four channels. I even remember when we used to have black-and-white TV. And I like watching it to see what happens every week even though I know it’s fiction fantasy not reality it’s just nice to keep watching the story people say it’s sad but I absolutely think it’s great. I look forward to watching it every day. It’s like a little ritual every evening or morning. I have my coffee and I just watch it the only thing I find annoying is when you’ve got to wait till 6 pm or 6 am that she watch it and you think you’ve watched the episode of the day before and you realise you’ve already watched today’s episode and you’ve got to wait a whole evening or next day when you were looking forward to it I forgot you watched it that is really annoying

All you have to do is just create an account but it is fair because it has soo many programmes so you can watch everything and live things on CBBC and news on it :D. I am happy with this app because it is also like Netflix but better. You can watch movies. Though some of the movies are old :(. Overall, it is one of the best apps and I recommend you should download it Also, it updates all its channels so on Monday there might be only 1 episode of so awkward, then on the next few days (due to upload time and publishing) day there might be the 2nd episode while on Netflix there might only be 1 episode for a few years ;( Hope this helped whoever reads this :P (some of these reviews are fake and written by other companies so don’t let that fool you!)Ps. The account making is quite tough

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.
