  • KC Mull

    Impossible to search for the required show either by full title or by the name of the artists involved. Finally found by time shown and tv station but show would not play (it was not faded out so should be available in my region but there was nothing to indicate what the issue was) Really need to overview the service when you consider the excellent options available on other ‘player’ options

  • RTÉ player

    I love watching the news and the late late it keeps me in touch with home I live in Maine so thank you for all you do
  • No airplay support

    Why have you got rid of AirPlay, please bring it back!
  • Not just because I’m Irish

    Been in the US 78 years. Just a touch of Ireland helps with homesickness.
  • Lifesaver

    RTÉ Player is a lifesaver living abroad even after 33 years. Thank you. There’s a richness and authenticity in programming and interviewing esp The Late Late Show and Tommy Tiernan.
  • Good content - Bad experience

    Invariably gets stuck on ads and programs never start

    Onscreen controls don’t display to manage content - frequently have to kill the player and restart from scratch

    Frequent white-outs and flashes where content disappears for several seconds during playback (when/if playback starts)

    This is a poorer implementation and user experience than all the other streaming apps that I regularly use (e.g. Netflix, Prime, SKY etc.) I realise that RTE gets the license fee, but please throw a few shekels to the app developers to fix the bugs and embrace the future

  • Nationwide

    I live in Australia. Catching up with the news and events happening in Ireland through Nationwide keeps me in touch. Thanks. 😎😷🇦🇺
  • New iPad, no RTÉ Player

    I bought a new iPad a couple of months ago because the old one couldn’t support all the upgrades. The new one started off ok but it’s not playing recent episodes of Fair City. It keeps replaying an episode from two weeks ago. No problem with the iPhone, though. I can watch everything from the RTÉ Player on it. Re the iPad, I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app numerous times with no change. It won’t let me even go to the home page. What suggestions do you have for me ?
    Update 2021. Still having problem trying to watch numerous episodes of Fair City. Sometimes I can binge watch, other times the episode reply’s the first half of the program and reverts to the episode start instead of playing the second half. Hope you can fix this problem, thank you

  • Worst app ever

    App will close without warning. Fails to resume after a pause in a program for commercials. The previous version was far superior to this one. It’s actually hard to believe that RTÉ saw fit to release this horrible update . I recently re-downloaded the app and it will not open. All I get is a blank white screen.
