The iPlayer app is still absolute dogshit on Apple TV. No UHD programs, no season selection, no subtitle support (which is insane for a supposed organisation that champions inclusivisty), still no redesigned app which launched on all other platforms I can think of over two years ago…

When I’ve got in touch with the BBC to complain about the lack of subtitling in the past they have just said “it’s too difficult” and panned me off, even though literally every other app including ‘BritBox’ which is partially owned by the BBC has them.

So I’m just wondering (especially with Doctor Who back on Saturday, and next year) if there is anything more I/we can be doing to get this sorted?

    The BBC is not competing with Apple TV or music. They are archaic and intransigent though.

        I was going to argue but I just re-read your comment and see I mis-read it the first time. Will remove my comment as it is indeed not relevant.
