RTÉ News

Every time I go on to this app it’s blank please fix it

Very frustrating that anytime I am reading an article and I leave the app (even for a few seconds to check a msg) the app goes back to the home page. Would be much better if it saved where you were so you can continue reading when you return.

You can’t open an article, switch app, and return to the same article because the app restarts on the home screen.

as an Irish citizen I find rte news is a reliable and factual news source but I have one technical issue with it. My saved articles sometimes disappear after an amount of time. I'd like to be able to keep them forever. Thanks! 😊

Please add dark mode

This app continues to violate apple’s App Store guidelines and should be removed until it resolves them. Violations include: 1. invalid app support link on App Store, it brings you to a broken page, so there is no way to contact the developer. 2. deliberately BLOCKS you from sharing using iMessage or text message, but allows every other sharing option in the share sheet. Other bugs: return to an article from multitasking and the app will ignore where you were reading and send you back to the top of the article. Picture in Picture support does not work correctly. In all other apps you can full screen the PiP window to return to the full screen video in app. In RTÉ news now you will always have to start the video from scratch when you return to an app which is really poor if you’re watching live sports etc. This app serves no purpose other than to say “we have an app”. Delete it and use the website.

Terrible app

Generally a well made app but one bad UX error makes it unusable - If you leave the app for a minute and return, it resets and lands you on the home page. So you can pick up where you left off. This is a really bad experience for the reader. It’s been like this for years now. Would be great to get this fixed. Far more of a priority than anything else. Please fix. Content often needs a spell check. e.g. “ The ollision happened…”. There should be a feedback button in the app itself.

App needs to be more accessible for visually impaired, I use smart invert on my phone due to visual issues and on this app the photos end up as negatives, not an issue on other news apps like bbc

If you want to view a video on this app you can select choose what cookies you permit them to use or block and now that’s impossible as it’s disappeared into an area you can’t open . Your only choice is to allow ALL . No way . That’s illegal . RTÉ yet again giving more reason to ignore them as a choice to views news articles .
