Is RTÉ Player legit?
⚠️ The RTÉ Player app has poor ratings and negative feedback. Users seem unsatisfied with its performance or features.
I mostly use the RTÉ Player to catch the news on my Apple TV. It’s an awful experience. You have to hunt through a clunky menu to find the news. When watching there are endless adds and no ability to easily scrub video when watching a programme, just some awful non-standard UI.
Awful awful experience.
Disappointing performance of app
I’ve been trying to watch a series on the TV app, and in every single episode, I’ve been thrown out at some point. I got to episode 6 and this happened again only now it’s not letting me back in at all. Am reduced to watching on my phone. Not one bit impressed
Review
Rye
Is good but there is way to many adds like I might get ten ads in on break it’s very laggy and I recommend rte
fix it
Crash
Crash crash crash….
Rubbish
App is absolutely deplorable, the amount of adds is crazy, app constantly pauses on very good network, crazy in this day and age of great apps.
So this is what the license gets us?
Just tried watching “Colin from accounts”. Great show but found it strangely difficult to follow after a few episodes. After investigating, it turns out the player can’t seem to understand sequence. Episodes played randomly from either season.
Complete incompetence. I’d expect nothing less from RTE.
Features
It needs picture-in-play.
Need to be able to see the device clock and the device battery level.
The continuation function is a little faulty on TV series.
rte player
does not work on iPad OS18.0.1 its a complete cukfup. Get a child to write the programme.
Test
Great home and overseas content
Rte player
