It’s Europe only for the time being, free with pre-roll ads and sponsorship for some content. If you’re wanting the whole package, it’ll set you back €6.99 per month (or €49.99 a year). Best of all - the app downloads content overnight when charging.
It’s also iPad-only for the moment. Whilst ordinarily the BBC would be required to be open-to-all platforms, Stuart Dredge at the Guardian App Blog notes:
BBC Worldwide is not subject to the same requirements to support a range of devices as the BBC in the UK, so for global iPlayer, this was a purely commercial decision.
