It annoys me how when you open iplayer you get the animation but you don’t on any other of the apps.

I think there's a case supporting the News and Sounds app not having all the bells and whistles - these are available internationally and possibly they've done this so it runs smoothly on even the lowest end devices around the world.

Although I may be giving them more credit than they're worth

Agree with the comments about the logo - as timeless as Gill Sans is, MLN still modified the characters for the logo. It's a shame the same attention to detail wasn't afforded to the Reith logo...

I'm still not the biggest fan of the rebrand of Radio - especially Radio 3 and 4.
Their old logos perfectly conveyed the output of the stations, and the new neon colour schemes quite frankly look garish and cheap.
Compare the websites for PM and WATO. One looks thought out, whilst the other looks unfinished. I'll let you decide which one's which..
