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.
Frustrating performance
When the app encounters changes in data, from 4g to 5g it stops unexpectedly. It also stops unexpectedly for other unnoticed reason.
Could be better
It’s a good app, but it could a great app. It runs a little slow no matter what you use it on iPad etc. More listen back features would be great with longer times to listen back to, not just the past week as on Lyric FM. However still high quality entertainment from RTE!
Unusable on the move
Generally the app works well until you’re on the move. The buffering is practically nil so sound cuts out frequently making it unusable. On a train and the consistency was atrocious.
RTE is great
Enjoy the best news and programs in the world on RTE.
Adore The RTE Radio Player!
Our daughter lives in Ireland and we visit as frequently as we can. Love to live stream and listen in the States! Our favorite is Late Date!
News Claire Byrne
From the US keeps me update on Irish issues , also enjoy RTE coverage of American news
Great Irish radio
If you are interested in Irish culture, current affairs and news then this is the app for you.
Great app
I use it to listen to Irish radio in England when I’m feeling homesick, or want to listen to good quality music shows and DJ’s.
Very poor app
Cannot pause or rewind a live program. Long time lapse after live program until it is available to listen back.
Show
Love it as we are in America since 1988
Fair city
Who in gods name comes up with these stories
Limited functions
Please enhance this ap. there is no pause or rewind options. Its not that stable either.
Best radio app on the planet
RTE Gold is a life saver
When I just need to listen to music it’s the one

Playback
Love this facility and the Timer which allows sleep if listening late in the evening. I am out all day and travel overseas each month, but, having this allows me to keep up to date with all news and programmes as little or as much as I wish
A great service to the world
Thank you, RTE, for making Irish language programming available to folks outside Ireland. It’s an invaluable resource for those of us trad musicians and those learning Gaeilge.
Gaeilge
I’m 78, grew up (or at least partially up) in Ireland , better at Gaelic than Béarla then. As I listen I understand more. Go hÁlainn
