However, a couple of things could be improved. 1) full screen doesn’t seem to properly go into landscape mode when i rotate my phone. This makes it extra hard for me to catch subtitles. Have an iPhone SE 2nd generation. 2) it would be nice if it remembered the episodes i watched and have a “continue watching” section. 3) it would be great if I could turn on notifications for particular series for when new episodes are coming out or if i have a unfinished episode about to be removed from the online catalog. GRMA!!! ### 4/5 — Love it *2020-12-31* Enjoy this app and content very much. Be nice to have a sign I feature so could save programs. ### 3/5 — Streaming? *2019-02-12* What happened to the streaming function? ### 4/5 — great till now *2016-03-02, version 1.3* I have had no problems, and I have loved the fact I can rewind the programmes or move on, in short chunks: great for studying Irish. Had first problem today with lack of sound... Reported this to TG4 website feedback, in case the problem derives from my being outside Ireland... If a bug fix is needed, I hope it can happen soon...I am suffering withdrawal symptoms. ### 5/5 — Tg4 *2015-08-24, version 1.3* It's a good way to keep up with the Irish language ### 3/5 — Tuaisceart na hÉireann *2015-03-17, version 1.2* Níl an chuid is mó den clár ar fáil i dTuaisceart na hÉireann. Go maith seachas sin. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2015-01-17, version 1.2* I only have one issue , I can't seem to hear the shows unless I have my head phones on with my iPad . Is there anyway to fix that . All other apps play well without having to use head phones. Like this app a lot The live play tab don't work in the iPad app, hope this is fixed soon, I enjoy your app very :) ### 1/5 — Will not work *2015-01-12* Will not work.:-( ### 1/5 — Briste! *2014-12-28* It won't seem to work for me. Downloaded twice. Restarted phone. Made sure everything was up to date. App remains a blank white page when opened and crashes after about a minute. I hope it will eventually work, perhaps after an update, I've been hoping for this app for ages. Fingers crossed TG4! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cant use in northern ireland *2025-03-30, version 5.0.5* GAA community in NI ignored , cant watch the league final despite the fact the app knows my precise location, 10 miles over the border ### 1/5 — The region *2024-03-31, version 4.5.1* It’s a joke that your live station does not work outside Ireland ### 1/5 — Cannot watch episodes! *2024-01-14, version 4.5.1* Despite uninstalling and reinstalling the app multiple times, it won’t let me watch any videos horizontally on my phone, only vertically, which is extremely impractical and a bit shameful they thought it was okay to release in that state. ### 1/5 — App update 4.0 is horrible what happened? *2020-11-19* TG4 is amazing and their website and previous versions of this app are awesome. You can’t access many things now that are easily available on the website and previous app. Tapping a video opens it but keeps the previous video and audio playing in the background. Can no longer sync to appletv with airplay. Countless new problems. Hoping for a fix soon! The TG4 community is wonderful and they provide an important resource to the Gaeltacht, the nation, and the world. ### 1/5 — Not working since I updated *2020-04-27* I just updated the app and now it doesn't work at all? It was working fine before... ### 1/5 — Won’t download episodes *2020-01-27, version 3.0.2* I go to download my favorite episodes, and i get the prompts to. Yet nothing downloads. That needs to be fixed ASAP ### 1/5 — Location discovered even though disabled. *2019-10-06, version 2.3.2* Downloaded app on Irish phone while visiting Uk. Disabled location tracking and could not use App- due to rights restrictions!!! Not really lawful?? Deleted app as no good when required ### 1/5 — Latest version breaks Player *2018-02-02* If you’re outside Ireland, DO NOT UPDATE to version 2.2.1. The Player breaks and videos won’t play. I’ve confirmed this with users in the US and Canada. I wish I hadn’t updated because it worked fine before, but now I just get a black screen with a spinning circle. ### 1/5 — It doesn't work *2016-02-06* It doesn't work, or even open. ### 1/5 — Can't open *2015-04-18, version 1.2* Useless app so far as it doesn't open. Wouldn't even give it 1 star but review doesn't allow none ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this app, however, *2024-09-29* There are really only a couple things I would add to this app as of now. I love and appreciate it’s existence, however some of the channels do not turn horizontally with the screen when you want to watch it full sized on your phone, and some shows do not have English subtitles for it. From someone who wants to use this app to help learn the language better, it would help a lot if all programs had English subtitles. Other than that, I’m very happy with it. ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2024-01-05, version 4.5.1* Awesome I can watch in Canada. I agree with other review that says we need to be able to watch in horizontal perspective on iPhone. ### 5/5 — Thank you TG4 *2023-09-17* For Brilliant content. ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2020-05-30, version 3.1.5* It's so great to have access to Irish programming in Canada. GRMA ### 5/5 — Excellent app. *2020-03-25, version 3.1.0* Works well. Streams to Apple TV in HD. Don’t listen to the negative Nellies. ### 5/5 — Fixed in USA *2018-02-06* Now able to play. They didn’t do an app update so it must have been something on their end of the stream, but it is working again. So happy! I missed TG4. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-11-06* Please fix the compatibility with Apple TV. Or even better make a apple TV app. But I gave this application five stars anyway because TG4 is amazing they have wonderful shows! It's like Netflix for Irish speakers!! Also besides the Apple TV compatibility issue this is a wonderful app. ### 5/5 — Go hiontach *2016-11-03* Tá a leagan nua go hiontach. Ba maith liom chromecast agus tá na fadhbanna le an leagan nios sine réite ### 5/5 — Ceart go leor *2016-04-18, version 2.0.1* App functions much better with the new update. It's a real treat to have quality Irish language programming available in England. Go raibh maith agat TG4. ### 5/5 — Great Asset *2015-09-13* I enjoy the access, to otherwise difficult to view material, in the USA. App works as it should. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
