Ratings and reviews

The app. has improved over the last year or so. It is now much easier to find recent and older programme episodes. Well done. Problem now is the ads. Ok they want the money. The issue is that the ad is placed at the very start of every show. So if you are browsing around looking for whatever...each attempt becomes a ...blah blah advert before you even start. It would be better if ad delayed 1 min or 30 secs.. then more searches could more be made.

Lots of good things about this app. However, everytime I pause it or take a call, or it stalls, I have to listen to 30 seconds of ads. This is on top of the ads already on the radio. When you have kids and need to pause frequently this is kinda headwrecking. Or if your listening back to short clips, 30 seconds of ads before each clip is too much. Ads after a defined time interval, as opposed to every time you press play, would be great.

Appalling. Every time it freezes it reloads extra adverts on a radio station already full of advertising. It can freeze every few minutes, so you hear the same ad over and over again. If you wanted to make someone stop listening you couldn't do a better job. RTE should take a look at the BBC Sounds app which is orders of magnitude more user friendly. It's so annoying that every 15-30 minutes the stream stops, buffers, and then has to play an ad before resuming.
