BBC iPlayer for Android adds support for 10-inch tablets, improves user interface

It’s simple: the numbers don’t lie. Clearly aware of the many, many hours viewers are squeezing out of their tablets, the BBC has, for the better, made its iPlayer for Android more friendly with 10-inch models.

Folks using the app will no longer have to rely on a shortcut to the website, with the BBC iPlayer now offering native support for those larger Android slates. The changelog also notes some tweaks to the UI on smartphones and 7-inch tablets, but mum’s the word on what the changes were exactly. Either way, we’re sure owners of, say, a Nexus 10 will be happy to hear there’s less steps to catch up with their favorite shows.
