Android Tablet devices – Why does the BBC iPlayer App launch the service via my browser?

If you are an Android 3 (honeycomb) tablet user or if your Android device has a screen size greater than 7.2 inches, you may be wondering why you are redirected to the browser version of BBC iPlayer and not the android App that other Android devices are currently using. Well, there are a few issues which we are currently addressing which we hope to resolve shortly. In the meantime, you can still use the App to access BBC iPlayer.

Your BBC iPlayer App will be prompted to update when the issue has been resolved.
