BBC Earth App

It's probably stupid to write about an app. I never would think I would do that but I do feel the need to write about this new BBC Earth app.

Well it's really simple indeed. It plays curated lists of clips of years of BBC Earth documentaries with different themes, ranging from deep of the sea to begin of time. Quality is great, even will adjust video quality according to the bandwidth.

It's fantastic as expected. But I always want more. For years I have been loving the contents BBC produces. For me BBC RADIO 4 is always my favorite. But for its documentaries and most other contents it's really hard for people outside of UK, especially in China, to be able to see. I get it. BBC gets its funding from UK government there is no way to give all of the BBC to the world for free. But, it's sort of a waste just to let those go. Maybe, at this time of history, BBC would learn a bit from other media companies and have a more robust global strategy.
