RTÉ Radio Player

Great app - great music - keeps me connected while travelling!!!!

Super bad app. Sometimes won’t play in background when using other apps. Disconnects so you have to listen to ads all over again before you can listen to a show. If you disconnect your earphones the app disconnects too. Highly frustrating this is so bad

Superb app, means a lot to me. Please bring Carplay option! Thanks!

The app is good and navigation is decent (but could be improved). The ads are frustrating and infuriating. If you lose connection for a second, switch to take a call or some other task that you commonly do on a mobile device, you are presented with an ad, and most likely the same ad that you heard when first opening the app. This seems to be a recent update as I don’t remember it ever being this bad. Was a four star, now a one star!

If you pause it starts playing ads again, very glitchy. Needs improvement

Please spend some money on this app and get it working properly. You have some excellent content, but you are failing to make it accessible.

A brilliant App. I love the plays - Sunday Miscellany and having just about everything at my fingertips. O use it every day 👍👍👍

<Update 4/5/‘24: Shocking behaviour! Autoplays even hours after I exited the app, causing great embarrassment. Noticed with iOS17/iPhone14. > Was a great app for years, even with a few annoying problems, such as: 1) unreliable link to iOS Play/Stop controls when screen locked, 2) even when streaming is switched off, when you exit a playback, streaming autoplays - and louder. WORSE, in 2021-03, they inserted a 30-second prelude ad DELAYING CONNECTION to live broadcasts (which already include ads). I keep missing live news headlines / programme starts. EVEN WORSE, the prelude ad PAUSES if you lock the screen or even begin to switch app! Streaming and everything else has to wait until you’ve listened to the entire 30 second ad! Forcing user behaviour change to compensate is annoying, or deal-breaking wherever non-adjustable environmental triggers (e.g. on the hour, etc.) drive traffic to the app. Update 2021-04-24: 1) I take 1 AirPod out, it pauses(!), I press Play, and there’s another ad before streaming resumes! 2) streaming stops when Stopwatch hits zero and it doesn’t resume - I do timed bursts and rests during workouts, so this app is useless.

I pay the tv/broadcast license. I have to listen to the live ads. Why are there more ads for the app?

You have ruined this App. If you play a programme and want to re-play it, it is not possible! Why you have done this I don’t understand… it doesn’t make sense. Very annoying and irritating. It’s like whoever designed the App hasn’t a clue about listening to radio stations or loving a particular program, so if I fall asleep at night listening to Movies & Musicals - Lyric; Saturday afternoon show, it’s impossible for me to replay it when I wake up again… 🤷🏻‍♀️
