Pretty good overall, especially considering it's free. A few things I would like to see fixed: 1) Sometimes I have to watch 4 straight ads when starting an episode, then I skip to where I left off watching last time and have to watch 4 more ads. 2) It seems like it's not possible to save where you left off in a series. Instead you have to remember. 3) Could be easier to find the search box.

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, less ads, less crashing. I would love if it had the ability to play over my screen when I leave the app.

Couldn't make a worse app if you tried. I have superfast Internet but the site can't take any major traffic which always happens for games whether it's GAA, soccer or rugby. Stream constantly breaks down. Ads are longer and more frequent than YouTube. Typical Irish effort from our national broadcaster
