RTÉ Radio Player

Please just make it work exactly like the BBC Sounds app? Landscape view please as well as portrait, ability to pause and rewind while a programme is playing live? Playback of a programme to be available ASAP after live one has finished. App before was much more user friendly ☹️

I listen here in England to the Great mix of music and entertainment presenters bring a laughter sadly missing in this sometimes sad world we live in keep it up RTE2 love it 🫶

The updated app has been very difficult to use. The old one was much better. It also had better breakdown of programs making it easier to find a topic within a show. The delay in getting shows up onto the player is too long. It’s like a half hearted attempt to do the job properly.

App is slow. Programmes not uploaded or accessible for hours . Too many adverts before programs begin. Compared to BBC Sounds your offering is a joke.

Listening to RTE remotely online since 2023, thanks for investing in us committed listeners. RTE radio has been a constant companion in my life for as long as I can recall, giving such a breadth of music, discussion & global political debate, remain sincerely grateful the tech exists to keep me tuned in.

I tune in and miss the beginning or part of discussions of my favourite radio shows. Would RTE be able to implement the functionality of rewinding and pausing etc LIVE radio like some other radio apps.

RTÉ have built an app that works but there are a lot of room for improvement: - I now subscribe to Sunday Miscellany via Apple Podcasts as the playback function on the RTÉ app is wanting. How about variable speed playback? - The user experience is wanting, my 83 year old Dad who has mastered an iPad struggles to access playback. Does RTÉ think about accessibility - Streams are laggy indicating work needs to be done on a CDN - what about rds style messaging on livestreams? On the plus side it isn’t as bad as the RTÉ TV player.

No commercial breaks, no unnecessary chatter, just good music charts in the background. The perfect office accompaniment.

Listen to RTE1 from morning to night and love it. Full of news, humour, good music and humour.

The app often doesn’t react to button presses . It seems quite random and almost always starts with an ad which is quite frustrating
