by The BBC has updated its iPlayer app for iOS to support Spotlight searches and allow Handoff between devices.
Spotlight support means that you to search for BBC TV shows by swiping down from the homescreen, while Handoff allows you to seamlessly pick up where you left off when switching between devices. The BBC notes that it has also fixed a nasty bug.
In addition to all that good stuff, we’ve also included a fix for a particularly nasty crash on launch, and last but not least, you can now find an entire catalogue of iPlayer programmes for a channel via the A-Z option in the channel page.
The iPlayer app made it onto Apple TV back in December.
BBC iPlayer is a free download from iTunes, but licensing restrictions means that content is limited to UK viewers.
