Easy to use and a good interface. Works well 90% of the time but occasionally finds a programme it can't download. I've not had that problem with iPlayer Automator.

Works so much better than iPlayer downloader or iPlayer grabber. Series link is also a big plus. Well done to this team!

Works nicely for me and so much quicker than the Beebs own iPlayer Desktop (which for various reasons I have to route through a VPN). Incidentally the latest version of Aunty Beebs app won't launch at all now and Adobe Air won't update either - Safari problem methinks!!

GUI is a touch primitive but easy enough to use and nice that it saves in mp4 so I can stream straight to my TV via PS3 using PS3 Media Server (another great free app).

So apart from maybe some GUI tweaks in future updates I can't think of any reason not to be chuffed to bits, especially since it's free.

Let me guess. You're British, aren't you.

finepics@gmail.com replied on 21 Jan 2012

I am indeed British.

Bye the way occasionally programs will fail to download due to a "failed or bad proxy". When this happens submit the report as the app asks and wait a couple of days for the proxies to be updated. This happens when the BBC makes changes and is not the fault of the app. Get Iplayer Automator has now added ITV programs so hopefully this app will follow suit.

Works for me!. This app does what it says on the tin. In the UK we pay a license fee hence the content is available for viewing up to a week online, but what this (free) app does is allow you to take that content and view when not connected to the net especially useful on an iOS device. The only other thing I'd like to have is the ability to receive the HD streams as opposed to SD although better than nothing would be on my wish list. Thanks to the developer for posting this a free app.

Just finished reading previous comments and visiting their website. My conclusions:
- Site looks like it is just in its infancy as pages are missing, including support and some pages display HTML code and indexes ftp style.
- There is a 'Store' tab which leads me to believe the products will not be free once they are fully developed
- iPlayer is designed primarily for the UK media and the rest of the download tools seem oriented for the European market.
- Did not examine the App that turns your screen into a 'flashlight' as do not own a portable device. However my gut feeling on this is that it is a awful waste of battery and pixel life except in very unusual circumstances or emergencies.

Hopefully my comments will enable readers to make more informed decisions about this developers products before spending time to download and trying them out.

Version 2 crashes at start. Version 1.02 works just fine. I am running OS 10.6.8. Perhaps this should be looked at by the developer. I am only leaving this comment here because there is no obvious way to do it on their webpage.

*NOTE* Version 2 is ONLY for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. (You can verify this at the developer's website). You MUST use version 1.0.2 for Leopard or Snow Leopard. That is why v2 it is crashing on 10.6.8.

Used to work for me well until last week. Now I only get "Initialising..." for a couple of minutes, then a crash. (Trying to download Radio 3 programmes)

Update: after a system restart, it worked again. So I'd give another star for functionality (only app of it's type currently working for me for radio). But the interface...

Getting better each release. It does what is says it'll do - but the user interface? Like the other reviews ... The UI need some extra effort in layout and design.

Terrible interface, the instructions on the main screen to press the play button to add a program to the queue is just completely wrong. There's not really a proper list view, the queue is just a the series name with empty grey window under it. Looks really odd.

Seems the coding's pretty poor too, upon trying to download an episode of Top Gear, the app crashed. Even with other shows, I've not been able to download anything successfully.

It seems it's got a few handy features, just a shame nothing works...

i'd have to say check your settings. I was able to download both a radio and TV program without any problems. Like everyone else, I think the interface could use work but it's not quite as appalling as I was expecting based on what I read here.

Elijahg0 replied on 05 Jun 2011

Ah-ha, I tried it again, and hidden away in the preferences was the download location... It was set to /TV Shows, no idea how but that was causing it to crash as /TV Shows doesn't exist. To the dev, a quick check whether the directory exists when trying to write to it would prevent the app crashing... Now that's resolved, the app downloads no problem.

Unfortunately MU doesn't allow editing, so I can't change my rating. If I could, I'l probably give 3 stars overall, with 3 on features, 2 on ease of use, 4 on value and 2 on stability.

W_g had trouble on 01 Dec 2011

The downloads work great, even in HD. However they no longer play in iTunes or even get into iTunes. I can go Open, click on the .mp4 file and nothing. Used to work. The developer's webpage has this question in the troubleshooting section but the link goes no where. I'd really love to give them some money if I could watch these shows on my AppleTV. Any ideas?
