BBC iPlayer for iOS updated with AirPlay streaming for downloads, simpler searching

BBC iPlayer for iOS just got a big update that makes it easy to keep watching -- even in less than ideal conditions. The app now supports AirPlay streaming for downloaded shows, letting users watch on the big screen when there's no internet connection. Searching is also much improved; iPlayer now groups results by series, and iPad users get a dedicated search section. It's easier to start watching recommended shows, too. The update is sadly limited to the UK version of iPlayer, but those fortunate Brits can grab the new app through the source link.
