Case Study: BBC reimagines iPlayer for mobile audiences with Apadmi

One of the nation's favourite apps reimagined for an increasingly mobile audience

BBC needed to upgrade BBC iPlayer, one of the UK’s most popular entertainment apps, to better serve an increasingly mobile audience. Apadmi was brought in to handle bug fixes, maintenance, legacy system integration, and a broader UX/UI redesign for the app and web platform.

Apadmi updated the Android, iOS, and web experiences, improving networking and streaming performance, building a native wrapper, refreshing the design, and enhancing search and channel branding. The result was a more scalable and user-friendly iPlayer, which by 2018 was seeing over 8,000,000 TV programme requests per day, while strengthening Apadmi’s ongoing relationship with the BBC.
