Just in time for Christmas: the All 4 app is launching today on the PlayStation 4. This means that you'll be able to spend your holidays watching old episodes of Peep Show, while simultaneously declaring Homeland's Claire Danes "the one". The app will, of course, include access to Channel 4 catch-up content, as well as boxsets for a host of popular programmes.
There'll also be a bunch of exclusive shorts, including one about parkour. You'll be able to find the app through the TV and Video section of Sony's system starting today, so keep an eye out for it. It's perhaps worth pointing out, though, that this will almost certainly only be available in the UK – it's a British channel, after all.

ITV's the only one left now, right? Unbelievable. I had to buy a Now TV box because they closed the PS3 app and seemingly have no intention of making a PS4 app. What content provider wouldn't want their content available on as many platforms as possible?
@get2sammyb ITV are just lazy idiots, they built ITV player using Microsoft Silverlight, which is fine as even Netflix used to use it but now it's outdated, Microsoft don't even develop anymore and the PS4 doesn't support it.
I spotted this on my PS4 AGES ago! All 4 has only just popped up, so maybe ITV Player isn't too far off?

@JimmyRowe1994 Yeah, I remember seeing that on Reddit. Whether it's coming or not, it seems insane that a channel of the size and stature of ITV doesn't already have an app on the UK's best selling console. Just crazy.
About flipping time! Been so annoying! Every Monday me and my wife watch citizen khan on BBC Iplayer and then gogglebox on all 4. So to be able to watch both I have to either watch them both on the xbox 360 which has really crappy quality. Or use my wii u or ps4 for itv player and then xbox for all4. Which I know it's just being lazy but because I don't play my 360 anymore and I only have 2 hdmi ports I have to swap the hdmi cable and lan over when I use it. It's just a lot of fuss when I don't see why xbox should be the only next gen that had the app XD
When I read the headline I cringed as I hate gogglebox with a passion it nearly stopped me reading this article. People getting filmed watching tv and talking and they get famous for it the TV reached a new low point. However I did and am happy the app is finally here using the browser to view tv programs on playsation is a nightmare I always watched 4 related progras through my laptop. In many ways chanel 4 catch up is the best because they have box sets you can watch and some of them are years old. Unlike BBC where you have 28 days to watch something or miss out. Glad this app is here and will be happy to use it.
@get2sammyb And Twitch to come to Europe at long last. That's been taking forever.
