subject: Top Gear Apps Available From Bbc Worldwide. [print this page] Broadcasting giants BBC Worldwide has made available to the users of the iPhone, iPad and the iPod touch, two apps based on the famous motoring show Top Gear.
As the two apps would undoubtedly be car related environments, one could say that the apps are rather innovatively designed. The first, aptly named the Top Gear: Stunt School app, is based on beating the time set by the famous Stig around the well built Top Gear race track.
To do so, users can take into consideration a spectrum of after market car parts which can aid in modifying their cars and provide them with an edge over the others during their lap time. These include a continuum of parts from jet engines to over sized wheels to even hang-glider wings.
Although the second app does not include having to race against the clock, it does do with the user trying to follow faceless Stigs footsteps around the globe and pin down his position as soon as possible. This app is called Top Gear: Wheres Stig.
Well the pricing of these apps is not too hard on the pocket as well. Top Gear: Wheres Stig is available for 1.79 on the iPhone and iPod touch, while iPad user shall pay 2.39 for the same. Meanwhile the other app Top Gear: Stunt School is available for 2.39 on the iPhone and iPod and for 2.99 on the iPad.
In other digital BBC news, BBC Worldwide also launched an international version of the iPlayer but only available to iPad users earlier this month.
Although this is not currently available, but the catch is that it is subscription only based app that would be soon obtainable in the New Year. This project is headed by former BBC Vision director Jana Bennett who will be the one responsible for the apps presence. She took seat as president for worldwide networks and the global iPlayer at BBC Worldwide sometime this month.
