There's a major update out for the BBC iPlayer app for Windows Phone 8/8.1.
The layout has been redesigned and it should now work better on lower-spec phones.
Radio services have been removed from the app, and the BBC says a separate iPlayer Radio app is "coming soon".
There's still no facility to download programmes and watch them without a data connection - something Apple and most Android devices have enjoyed for some time, but the app does work on 3G and 4G as well as WiFi. Live channel watching has also been added.
