The BBC have released an iPlayer app free on the market, it does exactly as the mobile site for Android does, it streams programs to our phones.

It only works for Android 2.2+ because of the need for flash player.
Try it out!

Download link from the Market

Can anyone post the .apk file for this app? I am unable to download it and have tried market enabler and that isn't working either. Thanks in advance for any help.

If you can't post the download file, maybe some advice for where it might be found.

Isn't this wifi-only; not available via 3G?

Salival · Feb 19, 2011

Any chance to stream out of UK? Maybe TOR?

leon sprouse · Feb 19, 2011

After install I get "BBC I Player is only available in the UK " This post should explain this so others like me ( in the USA ) wont waste their time downloading it !!!!!

I have had this for a few days now. sad to say on my galaxy S over wifi I can only play low bandwidth?! ridiculous

Personally I am not a fan of the app, and I will use the website instead. Streaming is choppy on the app, and perfect on the website.

Also, no download options! The Nokia N8 (I think) has had this since last year...

Just a FYI to everyone (as the news post makes it sound like you can stream over mobile network...):

This only works over WiFi (it will not stream over mobile networks)
You cannot pre-download anything.
If you do stream over WiFi the quality isn't very good.
If you want to see bbc iplayer content on your mobile, the best way is still to use their website.

It'll only work in the UK.

Any way to spoof location?

tim440 · Feb 20, 2011

I'm using it in Spain via a VPN. I think the quality is pretty good. Perfectly watchable.

What a shame it only works on uk

Any way to fake location to enjoy this app?

tim440 · Feb 20, 2011

If you set up a VPN, it works fine over wifi.

I don't know how a VPN would help, unless you were already in that region, but I wonder about a legit (is there such thing?

proxy app for Android... is there one to test?

tim440 · Feb 20, 2011

I live in Spain and use a VPN that gives the phone a British IP address and it works. There are plenty of companies that offer this service.

Is the app still terrible? Didn't bother with it after testing it for 10 minutes. It was awful.
