## Virgin Media Play Reviews in Ireland

### *---- "PURE TRASH"
When you pause an episode it won’t unpause , then you need to refresh and watch 12 ads to get back to that point ,I’m apauled  that you get 1 star from me
-- Rob619a, 2024-12-26

### ****- "It does the job"
Yea the app is overloaded with add, but this is a free streaming service not one like Netflix or Disney plus that costs money , the app has the same amount of ads as all tv channels and I don’t see the problem with them if you get all the same content as is on the channel. I don’t find it too buggy either
-- Heheheheheheh568, 2024-12-06

### *---- "Not fit for purpose"
Downloaded the app to watch  a specific program on catch up, found it no problem. Had to sit through 2 mins of unskippable ads which were stuttering (can’t imagine your advertisers would be happy to hear that). Then after sitting through the 2 minutes of ads the wrong show was playing, it was 4 minutes of who wants to be a millionaire 🙃 I don’t even know how you design your app so poorly that it plays the wrong content. Needless to say I just deleted the app and will forgo watching anything on virgin media.
-- J.D.N, 2024-12-04

### *---- "Does not work with chromecasts"
Will show connecting symbol to chromecast but will never actually connect
-- Cian Shan, 2024-12-01

### **--- "Doesn’t always work"
When it works it’s great, but I always have issues playing episodes or casting episodes. Sometimes it restarts the episode or just won’t play it at all, and sometimes if I close out of the app when casting is stops casting
-- agsk2020, 2024-11-30

### *---- "Not happy"
Soaps are not playing full so your missing half the show. I’m not happy with this it needs to be fixed
-- AmyC9213, 2024-11-28

### ***-- "Can you add a feature that lets you know what you’ve already watched and where you left off?"
Hi, I’ve just downloaded the app. I used to use the browser but I found it irritating because I could never remember the episode number I was on, and if I left halfway through an episode I couldn’t remember at what minute I left off. Also, when trying to find where I left off I would have to watch 7 ads every time I moved the time point . I thought the app would be better and would tell me what I’ve already watched and where I left off, but it doesn’t. It just very irritating, and I end up spending more time watching ads than whatever I’m trying to watch. Can you please update this app to incorporate this feature, it would significantly improve the app. Also, according to the other reviews written on the App Store, I’m not the only one who would like this update. Thanks!
-- Sand_C, 2024-11-27

### *---- "Ads….ads….ads….ads….ffs"
9/9 ads loaded, no way past. Joke. Complete waste of time. Avoid.
-- Ken-Gub, 2024-11-26

### *---- "Disgraceful"
An absolute joke of an app! Constant adds over 5 minutes a go. If you choose to skip the programme you have the rewatch all the adds again. Constant buffering, even with good internet connections. It takes over 2 hours to watch a 1 hour programme with the adds and buffering. I would never ever recommend this app unless you have the patience of a saint!
-- Leahod23, 2024-11-24

### *---- "App not working"
App only plays half the program and then disconnects.
-- C_J_M&, 2024-11-21

### *---- "Keeps disconnecting from TV"
If I could give zero stars I would. Constantly disconnects from the TV mid episode. Extremely frustrating
-- Millizzle, 2024-11-19

### *---- "Rubbish"
There’s an option to airplay to my tv but when I try to connect it goes black (lets me watch the ads tho)
-- asscuntface, 2024-11-19

### *---- "Awful"
It’s the worst app since the update, stops between every Ad break, pauses during an episode. I thought updates were to improve the app, this just made it a whole lot worse
-- Lofty892, 2024-11-16

### *---- "Absolutely rubbish. Don’t do this to yourself."
If you thought that the RTE Player was bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet 😫 Trying to watch live sport, app will constantly crash and disconnect broadcast. You have to try to reconnect and sit through the same ads (which will always play perfectly without interruption BTW 🤨) to reconnect to the broadcast. In short when there’s an ad break, you WILL be disconnected. Trying to watch a game for 2 hours goes hand in hand with deep frustration. 😡
-- AllmanJohn, 2024-11-16

### *---- "Ads ads ads"
Good luck with trying to cast anything from this app and the ads….. Jesus
-- Karllrak101, 2024-11-11

### *---- "Rubbish"
I had high hopes for this app, but it's been a major disappointment. The app is completely overloaded with ads—it's like every action I try to take triggers another pop-up. It’s incredibly frustrating and makes the experience feel very clunky and slow. Plus, there’s no option to download content for offline viewing, which is a huge downside, especially for those of us who want to use it on the go. Overall, the constant ads and lack of offline access really ruin what could otherwise be a great app
-- KOS LAD, 2024-11-05

### *---- "Worst update ever"
What happened to the favourites, and my account features.
Very hard to find stuff now
-- KenM157, 2024-11-03

### *---- "Really really bad"
This new update has ruined the experience for viewers.You cant favourite or download anything anymore.Having to sit through these long ads is not helping having a catch-up.
I’d give it a zero but because its not possible i give it a 1 🤮🤮
-- idonotwanttoputdownanickname, 2024-10-28

### *---- "User Profile"
Is there any way you can reintroduce user profile so you can pick up a programme where you left off. It is really frustrating it is putting me off watching as I have to keep skipping to find where I left off if I have to go out of the app for any reason.
-- shazneyc, 2024-10-22

### *---- "DELETE DELETE DELETE"
From being one of the most user-friendly and effective media apps it is now the new old RTE Player app. A catastrophic update. I’ve deleted it as it’s unusable.
