Comments on RTÉ Player for Android

★★★★☆ Ener Ex · Jun 9, 2026
Easy to navigate. Content is what you'd expect from RTE. However, I wish there was a way to set the resolution, so I don't chew through all my data (many plans "throttle" after "fair use amount" is used, and It's easy to reach the limits in many cases.). I used 2Gb in just a few minutes! There are now also annoying (and repetitive) 30 to 60 sec promos that play when starting a radio stream. Extremely annoying if you're trying to tune in to the likes of live news and miss a lot of it...
★★★★★ 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
★★★★★ Tommy Williams · Jul 5, 2026
It looks fine on it's hard to believe there are lots of things inside so dive in to RTE player let's hope by us giving this reviews 5 we won't be had to pay reviews on money for it soon 😔🔜 sometimes when you buy something and when you give it good reviews then you have to pay for it yes this tinker I know it's all about that and not all society steals, and I also help the poor people
★☆☆☆☆ D L · Jun 5, 2026
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
