> There's something deeply wrong with that

Genuinely curious what you think is specifically wrong with it? If the BBC feels the app provides a better experience isn't that up to them?

Can't tell if you're trolling, but the video player user experience has nothing to do with what app you're in. It's entirely reasonable to expect a good in-browser video experience. Additionally, requiring a domain-specific app to be installed is an extremely negative UX.

I’m not trolling, I simply disagree that a company making a decision about their own product is “deeply troubling.” A little annoying, perhaps.
