Editors’ Choice

Our favourite BBC shows, whenever we want? Perfect! With the option to download and watch offline, we actually look forward to commutes and long flights. And the range of programmes is astounding—from the newest and best to iconic old classics.
Best one so far!

All you have to do is just create an account but it is fair because it has soo many programmes so you can watch everything and live things on CBBC and news on it :D. I am happy with this app because it is also like Netflix but better. You can watch movies. Though some of the movies are old :(. Overall, it is one of the best apps and I recommend you should download it Also, it updates all its channels so on Monday there might be only 1 episode of so awkward, then on the next few days (due to upload time and publishing) day there might be the 2nd episode while on Netflix there might only be 1 episode for a few years ;( Hope this helped whoever reads this :P (some of these reviews are fake and written by other companies so don’t let that fool you!)Ps. The account making is quite tough

Difficult to watch audio described programs on the app

Can the development team please put on the roadmap the ability to toggle audio description from the play screen? Currently, if I want to watch an audio described programme, I have to go into the audio describe section. If I’m lucky, the episode I want will be featured on the first page, otherwise I have to go into the A-Z and find the program i want. However, if it is a series, only the latest episode is shown with audio description. If I select a previous episode, the audio description doesn’t work. Also, if I’m watching an audio described episode from a series and the next episode launches automatically with auto play enabled, the next episode doesn’t play with audio description, even if the website shows that audio description is available. Also, at the moment you cannot currently download audio described programs. Confusing to read? It certainly is a confusing way to try and watch audio described programs.

Beyblade X

I absolutely love this App! My favourite show being beyblade X of course, I only just started watching it and it’s already my 2nd favourite anime! It really hooks you in to the characters perspective, you really start to think and feel like them! I’m only on like the TTh episode or something but there are still 23 series waiting for me! So my opinion? I AM RECOMMENDING THIS TO ABSOLUTELY ALL OF YOU READING THIS AND MY FRIENDS AT SCHOOL TOO! I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS! THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF THE SHOWS ARE UNIMAGINABLE! I sincerely hope that some of you reading this will try this app, because I know people have different opinions, but this is totally amazing! So get the app, and if you like anime, try beyblade X! That’s all, bye! -Ash M
