RTÉ Reviews 

The RTE Live Player is absolutely rubbish, my Internet is fibre connected, yet any live streamed sports constant buffering, servers not fit for purpose, programming is abysmal, repeats, or soaps from abroad, very little invested in homegrown entertainment. It's easy to see why the licence fee has seen such a vast drop in numbers paying, and why should they, when the hard working people of this country see their fee contributing to the purchase of 5k worth of flip flops.

RTE remains an 'old boys club' with fat cats lining each others pockets from hard working peoples license fees. This is evident in programming that is stuck in 1980, along with an on demand app that a kid made up in 2nd year high school technology class. If the fee was based on the output of RTE and how many people consume it, it would be €1 per year. RTE remains only due to legal threat of prosecution for the fees, it should be left to wither and rot.

Worst streaming service iv ever used both the app and the website are shockingly bad, need to sack their whole IT team and people in who know what they're doing.

It has improved from been terrible to just being bad. Compared to other streaming platforms continue watching doesn’t transcend devices. When you do use the same device it takes you to the start of the episode not where you left off.

Terrible app. Can’t use live tv except on mobile apps. Ads work fine but hit and miss if your content will load after the ads. Slow to open and search through content. I would never pay for this if I wasn’t forced through the licence fee.

Get rid of it funding criminals that this government does nothing about the government is just as bad they are all in it together 🤬🤬🤬

Its potluck as to whether this app will even bother opening when you want to watch something, absolute joke that this company asks the public to subsidise this useless product, too busy paying presenters exorbitant wages to fix this app

This ap crashes after watching 1 episode of something. You then have to uninstall and restart. Life's too short for this

This has to be the worst. The spooling constantly whilst watching a programme thats if you manage to even get to play a programme. I'm having issues with playing a programme JUST WONT PLAY. The amount of ads are ridiculous most programmes now 6 ads.

Worst app out there full of ads, when ads finishing playing after part 1 of a program, the program will not play.

Rte is a mouthpiece for the woke agenda..no balance .no serious journalism .Debate on Asylum seekers had no balance just two nodding donkeys parroting the government narrative.
Scrap the license fee and let's be done with this mutual admiration society.similar to Tass and Pravda

Where did RTE get their tv player software it is quite honestly the worst player I have ever used we pay a license fee for this absolutely ridiculous

I am a British Royalist living in Northern Ireland who hates and despises RTE. The mouthpiece of the Irish Republic. It is full of lies and praise for Sein Fein/IRA. I would never watch it.

Nothing happens. Dreadful

If you like reading “Unknown error” and “Something went wrong” followed by two mins of adds every 10 mins, well then this is the platform for you!

Loading.....loading. That's a long and, it's been on for half an hour.
Years of a very amateur app and no improvement.

Cannot stream live events on smart tvs. Unsurprising archaic effort by RTE

Is this the most flakey, useless & frustrating app out there? We pay a licence fee & financially report an organisation, RTE, that offers & promotes this technological carcrash as a streaming solution. Ireland as a global tech hub, not these muppets . . .

One word, rubbish. The R in RTE means REPEAT. Absolute horrendous substandard player. The station should be closed down once and for all.

The only people who would want to use this is the Irish work force all over the world who work away from home for most of there life’s and want to fell like they know wats going on at home and we are not aloud to log in
