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. -- 5uspect, 2024-12-31 ### *---- "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 -- LeeseBC, 2024-12-14 ### ****- "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 -- Tommygun 123, 2024-12-08 ### *---- "Crash" Crash crash crash…. -- weefella1, 2024-11-20 ### *---- "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. -- Darr..., 2024-11-19 ### *---- "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. -- Frank Bulls, 2024-11-15 ### ***-- "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. -- amolloy963, 2024-11-12 ### *---- "rte player" does not work on iPad OS18.0.1 its a complete cukfup. Get a child to write the programme. -- N22 /#40, 2024-11-06 ### ***** "Test" Great home and overseas content -- junor, 2024-10-27 ### *---- "Rte player" Too many ads and doesn’t save what you’ve watched. You can’t minimise screen it closes down. -- qosbg, 2024-10-24 ### ***-- "Too many ads" Too many ads -- Shiftycatt, 2024-10-16 ### ****- "Pity it’s not on Firestick" The player is great on iPhone but it needs to be on firestick -- DeclanKilbarron, 2024-10-14 ### *---- "Advertisements - yawn!" Advertisements too long and can't fast forward through them. Also glitches! -- HMLEIF, 2024-10-10 ### *---- "D Navan" It is pure heart ache using this service . Can’t fast forward adds , shouldn’t have adds on it . Look at how the other services run -- nednek, 2024-10-07 ### ***** "Rte player should be used when advertising the justification of the TV licence" I cannot understand why the Player is not included or advertised in any way as another reason why people should pay their TV License. To be honest in my opinion the service itself is more than enough of a service to account for the cost of the licence when you think about what people will pay for other streaming services on a monthly basis. So maybe the next time you are reviewing how to let/make the public see what they are receiving for their contribution to the State backed media service’S include the player as part of the overall package Just a thought -- Plastic Bob Deise, 2024-10-07 ### *---- "Poor" Very poor performance really, catching up where you left off, forget about it, won’t happen. Most frustrating catch up tv app ever -- Gullaneman, 2024-10-07 ### *---- "Slow very basic gooey" I have always found this app , very slow and hard to navigate , Virgin app plus channel 4 apps top notch . -- Camera nest, 2024-10-01 ### ****- "Good app - but too many ads" Like the RTE Player but there are so many ads and unlike TV there is no way of fast forwarding. RTE is a public service broadcaster and we pay for it through our TV licenses, government funding and they also get huge ad revenue from tv and radio. Do we really have to endure ads on the player as well? Come on -- Sean O’M, 2024-09-27 ### ***** "Great support for athletes" Well done RTE you got this one write. Player options were great for us to watch complete competition equestrian which takes time -- Dan M Power, 2024-09-04 ### *---- "Episodes Missing" Before you watch make sure all episodes are there! So frustrating, it happened a long time ago with the night manager - watched the first 4 episodes only to find episode 5 missing….and now today I go back to this app to watch The Bold Type and after watching the first episode it jumps straight to the 3rd. Episode 2 missing! Pointless! -- woodsy22, 2024-09-02 [View all RTÉ Player reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## RTÉ Player Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | Ireland | Entertainment | #12 | | Top Free | Ireland | Overall | #141 | | Top Free | United Kingdom | Entertainment | #407 | ## RTÉ Player Discovered Keywords -
