  Kay Andrew 🇺🇦 (@JohnLizzieGirl) reported 3 minutes ago

  @BBCiPlayer your programme is broken, I clicked on Winter Olympics: Team Skating today in order to watch the Team Figure Skating competition and got Skiing, Snowboarding, Ice Hockey, Ski jumping and Curling. If I click on a thing that says Team Skating I expect to watch that! 😡

  @anon_opin I love @BBCiPlayer, it's years ahead of the awful @ITVX, but they need to track my usage and see that I skip EVERY SINGLE TRAILER. I don't want to watch a trailer for something else, I want to watch what I've selected.

  @BBCScrumV @BBCiPlayer @BBCSounds Why don’t Wales nationalise the WRU? I can’t see any other way to fix this mess created by stakeholders

  @EnglandRugby @BBCiPlayer I think barring 1 or 2, this is the worst squad and management I've seen for many a year

  @BBCMOTD @BBCiPlayer That screeching woman commentator on Arsenal game would do your ears in. Had to turn the sound off. Terrible from @BBCSport women are not compatible with the men's game.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The Ben Mitchell bashing is in hyper drive. I guess this is petty retaliation for Max Bowden not wanting to return to this **** show. I'm so glad the rating r plummeting every day. Ben Wadey is the worst thing to happen to this show.

  @bbceastenders @BBC @BBCiPlayer Denzel brought bad medicine into the house. Now Yolande must find an Obeah man to fix this. And she won't find one in yellow pages.

  @StephenNolan @DHamill2004 @BBCiPlayer The problem is in their own community.

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Bet it dropped off majorly. Detectorists it ain’t and the guy who played Michael was awful.

  Les Bien (@BertSnazzle) reported 36 minutes ago

  What’s going on with @BBCiPlayer app? It’s complete garbage…takes about 5 minutes to sign in 😠😠

  Siobhan Mc Dermott (@gallonupper) reported 37 minutes ago

  @StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer Loads??? No it's about 10 people. Distraction bs as usual. This issue is simply not affecting the majority of us. Your childish antics and your same callers day in day out! Norman & Brian 🙄 impossible to listen to for anyone with a bit of common sense

  The View From Belfast ⚖️ (@CallumTheReds) reported 38 minutes ago

  @StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer If either a union flag or a tricolour flag is flying in a community that supports those flags - why is that a problem?

  Alex Barrett ☘️🇮🇪 (@albarr1978) reported 42 minutes ago

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The storylines are awful right now and the so called acting is even worse

• 
  Lorraine (@LORRAIN25481106) reported 42 minutes ago

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Awful storyline and writing = awful acting from everyone involved.

• 
  Liam (@Liam5xwr) reported 44 minutes ago

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Time to axe Johnny (and Callum). Both actors are awful.

• 
  Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported 46 minutes ago

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Lauren is beautiful but a terrible actor, she either shouts or mumbles most of the time. And of course she has another disaster this week, she's always doomed!

  @StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer I call mornings the Peugeot school run as all the new Peugeots outside the school every morn. I know the drivers and they don’t work. *** all wrong of them

  Lloyd Preston (@Lloydp78) reported 47 minutes ago

  @BBCiPlayer No matter what I do in my settings, the sign language man will not leave my screen and I have commentary over the actors dialog . Please fix this bug as it’s ruining Eastenders for me

• 
  Kevinthegerbil (@Gerbiltime) reported 49 minutes ago

  @BBCMOTD @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Who is the woman screeching throughout the Arsenal match? It’s not a commentary, it’s a string of tired cliches she thinks of she screeches loudly enough, she’ll sound convincing. She’s awful.

  chez_80 (@cheeky_chezza) reported 50 minutes ago

  Has anyone watched 'Babies' on iplayer? I have found it a good watch, but the dumb laughing sound between the men and the black guy sounding like Brian Belo from BB years ago has been very distracting. Can't work out if it's deliberate, overacting, or natural 🤔 #bbc @BBCiPlayer

  @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Stop mucking about with your website! Looks awful, why the white background????

  @adamhale_ @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer Luckily I don't have to deal with this kinda problems when using xevatv

  Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported 53 minutes ago

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The Lauren and Penny scenes have been great recently. I hope Lauren does end up buying the Car Lot. Jay should've never have sold it in the first place and that's something he would never do if he was still here. Can't wait for Lauren & Priya to work together. #EastEnders

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer I hate Wes Streeting - can’t help it he’s just to smarmy & insincere.

  Gilly B (@GillyB9) reported 57 minutes ago

  @ls_1983 @BBCiPlayer I was flicking between football and Olympics last night. The commentary on tnt was awful.

  @BBCiPlayer get somebody to fix the stream please. I'm trying to watch the figure skating team event and it's showing all sorts of random other sports

  actionslaxx (@actionslaxx) reported 1 hour ago

  @Gordon_998877 @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer yep, having to login every time you switch back to the iPlayer (even if you've just got one profile) is a PITA - other streaming services don't make you do this
