A key BBC iPlayer app will be shutting down for millions of users this week. But before you panic, it’s not quite as dramatic as it sounds. The app in question is, specifically, the BBC iPlayer Download app for PC and Mac.

The shutdown won’t affect any of the BBC iPlayer web, smartphone, tablet, or TV apps, but it does mean that those who relied on the iPlayer Download app to save their favourite shows on their laptops and desktops, are now forced to use their other devices if they wish to continue downloading programmes for offline viewing.
