Vastly improved App
RTE needs to take a very hard look at the bit rate and compression they have deployed as it makes sublime tunes Jenny Greene plays unlistenable. This is the case for the web, streaming and podcasts. RTE already suffer from generally poor sound processing with mic at the incorrect gain causing hissing or echo for speech so it’s a real shame the quality content is let down but what is poor engineering or unnecessary data where budgeting decisions.
They should at least offer a premium streaming option like Spotify and offer this to only international listeners to save on costs.
RTE Listen gives BBC Sounds a serious run for its money but is falling short of the mark

New version of app is terrible
The latest update of the RTE app causes my phone to overheat and the battery to drain very rapidly. It is definitely this app that does this and not anything else on phone, based on my testing. Please fix this so that I can safely listen to RTE on my phone again! Thank you.
Much improved
Podcast downloads are horribly compressed. Almost unlistenable.
Pause/play
Love the updated app but there is a problem that still hasn’t been resolved. Having paused live radio and then pressing play, it takes an age for the live broadcast to resume.
Just awful
Can’t find anything. Terrible update.
