RTÉ Radio Player

This works really well but there is a slight error. When the app is installed on a phone with a language other than English, the "listen back" does not load the schedules. My phone is configured in Spanish. When I try to listen back to previous programmes it says "unable to load schedule DAY_IN_SPANISH". For example "lunes" is the Spanish for Monday, the error says: "unable to load schedules for Lunes". If I configure my phone to English as the default language, everything works perfectly

It's OK. Slightly irritating that it keeps defaulting back to live radio. Can "listen back" well enough. Needs Chromecast capability. Take a look at BBC iPlayer Radio app - how it should be done.

Ok app, live stream is not very reliable stops or pauses a lot on WiFi and 4g. Play back of previous shows is pretty good..

Poor, sadly poor. Please spend some of my licence fee on it.

Need to update to allow it to play when screen is locked

Pro: very happy to be able to listen to Ceili House in my car here in the US. Sound quality is good Cons: search is very difficult. Seating For Ceili House should get me episodes of Ceili House, not every show with "house" somewhere in the description. I have to press back to get to the date I want, then scroll down to the time. If I don't know those? Too bad. And you really *really* need to be able to pause and resume.

Really poorly executed for such a simple service. It cannot play through without stopping, if you leave the app page when listening to playback, it returns to live broadcast. You thb have to return to the podcast selection and pick it again, trying to guess where you left off. Really frustrating

I download this to listen back to Callan's kicks and the odd radio debate but the moment I click on a part show to listen the app closes. Right now it seems only capable of listening to live radio - Oneplus Three if anyone is wondering

I never write reviews but I want this issue to be fixed. Whenever I search for a programme using the search tab, and tap the show I want to listen to, I get a pop up saying RTE Radio has stopped and the app closes. Please fix this problem asap. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy J3.

Can you make it easier to play back and improve searching? The only way I can play back a show without it crashing is to go back through the station schedule to find when it was played and play back from there. First World problem like, but why not make the thing work well? Stick ads in, I don't care.

After installing last app update,the feed kept stopping after 2 minutes.installed most recent update and it now stops aft 30 secs ! Have to keep restarting it .so frustrating.please fix

Horrendous, sounds like an old scratched cd and shots completely down with any sort of notification even a simple text message coming. Then again that is Ireland for you - a country with an iq of 90 - not known for executing things well. Where would this country be had it not been for its proximity to England. Third world, can't do anything properly.

This app constantly stops and starts despite having good WiFi or data. Very irritating. Other than that it is good!

Rubbish. Stops regularly and doesn't buffer. Uninstalled and back to my old radio app

Really good app, can be slow to open, but once open it works well, especially like the listen back, but would also be great to be able to download through it, have to go to the main site to do that,,

Keeps dropping live radio every 10 minutes or so. V frustrating. Please fix asap

Instead of spending money advertising this app, spend money fixing it. Ok to listen to live radio, but as soon as I look up a podcast it crashes. Useless will uninstall as I can listen to live radio with TuniIn radio.

Awful app. It drops so much and then can't find the stream, even where Wi-Fi is showing as excellent. RTE really are overpaid amateurs.

Android 6.0.1 - whether on 4G or WiFi the station fails to load every now and again which is quite annoying for a radio app

Dowloaded yesterday- app won't open at all. I just want to listen back to mystery train!

Can't even scroll through a program. Outdated effort.

rubbish. no playback available since 17 july

It works well with LG. It's great to listen radio programs for children. My daughters​ love it

2fm live stream keeps cutting out.

Crashes every 20 mins ,sort it out

Totally unreliable. Radio just got harder.

Unusable. Constantly stops and starts. Very frustrating.

Constantly crashing. Useless app

Randomly crashes. Pretty bad

Useless. Doesn't work.

I am a rte radio1 (& newstalk) listener. However I have warn against the radio playback on Android. It will skip ahead at intervals automatically. Skewball performance on the live radio player. Fades in & out regardless of broadband speed.

Usually very good, but not happy playing in the backgroound. If you go back to the application when you are listening back, it stops that listen back and goes to the live stream. Very annoying.

The playback isn't working too well at the moment. Sometimes you get a minute of a program other times could be 15mins. Needs to sorted

Needs updating, very unreliable and poorly maintained.

I think today's update may have fixed the playback glitches. Overall this is an ok app. It would be savage if an alarm and sleep timer function was added.

The App doesn't work, it's awful.

So many things wrong with this app I'm not even sure where to start.... Actually all I can say is that I have NEVER been able to get through one show on "listen back" without it stopping, jumping back to the start of the episode, or just kicking back into live radio mode. Also can't pause the listen back feature or even start where you left off. Just an absolutely appallingly designed app in every way shape and form. Knowing RTE it was probably designed by a relative of an exec. for a 6 figure sum

Really bad design, the behaviour of the listen back feature is totally unintuitive and it seems impossible to pause and resume from the same place. Also, in common with other RTE apps, there's no Chromecast feature which is really a must have in 2016.

This app is absolutely appalling. I've never actually rated any app before this but I had to leave this note. I can't understand how someone could develop an app that works so poorly. This app is comically terrible. Whoever made it should be fired from a canon. Straight into a wall. From point blank range.

Of all the apps I've ever used, I despise this one. Doesn't say much for the anonymous tech nerds behind it
