User Reviews

Based on multiple reviews, RTÉ Player is valued for its Irish content and international access, including free variety and updates to controls, but users repeatedly cite stability problems, heavy ads, a clunky search interface, regional content limits, and TV casting issues. The app’s strengths lie in its cultural relevance and accessibility, while the primary improvements needed are reliability, ad experience, discovery, broader international catalog, and improved TV/ casting performance.

Pros

Wide variety of Irish programming including news and Gaelic content.
International access: you can watch while abroad and keep up with favorites.
Free streaming content with broad catalog.
Updated controls improving usability.
Strong cultural connection to Ireland through the content.

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability issues across devices and platforms.
Intrusive advertising before and during playback.
Non-intuitive UI and weak search/discovery.
Content access outside Ireland is limited; regional restrictions.
Casting issues and poor performance on Apple TV (audio-only casting, black screen, long load times).

Recent reviews

The app is always dropping for some reason. Secondly, I find having to watch two ads before it connects with the Programme your trying to watch is very annoying and as a result you might miss what you wanted to watch and you also have a negative approach to the ads, which I think your advertiser might want to know about. Thirdly, the stupid sound which you have to listen to during the interval is extremely annoying. In my opinion, the RTE App is not user friendly and could be much better. I trust the above helps to improve the App.
