Earlier this week, BBC teased us with some delicious news of the official iPlayer app for Android arriving later in the week. The app lets UK residents watch TV, listen to the radio, manipulate their favorites, and look up schedules of TV programs. Oh yeah, and it just went live in the UK Android Market.
Sounds good, right? Top Gear on my phone anywhere I go… errrr, nope – the app only works on Wi-Fi. Not on 3G, not on 4G, not even on 5G or 6G – just Wi-Fi, and on top of that only in the UK (no surprise there though).
Disappointed Android users who are downloading the app are currently staging a bit of a revolt in the Market comment section over the 3G fiasco, which, to be honest, is all too familiar to us.
