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.
