Comments on RTÉ Player for Android

★★★★★ Khushwinder Kaur · Aug 10, 2026

Go to watch every World Cup game really good for me, I even got to watch the World Cup final

★★★★★ Michael Thomas O'Flaherty · Aug 4, 2026

Amazing app I can watch Irish TV with this app from the United Kingdom, or anywhere I go on holiday around the world very handy for Irish news, drama, movies and music from Ireland

★★★★★ Jibon Hassan · Jul 10, 2026

Best Recommend App to watch FIFA World Cup Live

★★★★☆ Helen Matthews · Mar 8, 2026

I have upgraded my previous reviews from 1 to 2 and now to 4 stars due to massive improvements on this app. Finally, RTE player is behaving as a streaming app should behave. Still a few kinks to work out but overall a much more user-friendly experience. Box sets, the ability to ff and rewind, fewer ads, less crashing. I would love if it had the ability to play over my screen when I leave the app.

The actual app is pretty good, but I am fed up with being told e.g. watch Ireland Vs the Netherlands live, and it's actually Ireland women versus Netherlands women. Different teams different sport. Not developers fault

★☆☆☆☆ Joe Jim Brook · Mar 26, 2026

Stream freezes constantly during FIFA playoff. Not ready for streaming I'm living in an area without DVB-T coverage, and I don't have a sky subscription, so I'm totally dependent on watching RTE via streaming. I'm on FTH but during sports events the streams fail always with shorter and longer intervals of disruptions and there isn't even a way to reduce the video resolution to cope with it. Additionally, I have to turn off my VPN when I want to watch RTE. What am I paying my TV license for?

★☆☆☆☆ Dave · Mar 26, 2026

One of the worst players out there!! Constantly freezing! TV license fee being put to zero use. Get your act together RTE
