STV makes STV Player available free of charge on iPad and iPhone

STV is delighted to announce that its video-on-demand service, STV Player, is now available on iPad and iPhone, providing an additional platform for the popular service. 

The STV Player allows consumers to catch up on hundreds of hours of free national and regional content, from Coronation Street and X-Factor, to the popular STV News at Six, the very latest big title dramas and classic archive material. 

Earlier this year, STV announced that STV Player allowed Android tablet and mobile devices wireless access to its video catch-up for up to 30 days after broadcast.  STV Player is also accessible via PS3.

The service, which is free to use and free to download, allows users to search for programmes, access A - Z and category listings and browse recommended, recent and popular STV programmes.

Alistair Brown, Chief Technology Officer at STV said: "It's becoming clear that multi-media consumption is one of the most popular uses of mobile tablet devices, so we're delighted to be making the STV Player available via iPad, alongside the iPhone. STV is committed to making its vast amount of content available free of charge anytime, anywhere and with the extension of the Player to iPad and iPhone, we're reaching so many more consumers across multiple platforms."
