They took away the OT
I loved this app till they took away the OT.
What Happened?
No problems, then all of a sudden app refuses to load on my iPad. No problem on my phone, but I’ve tried all the usual tricks and it absolutely will not play on iPad. Anybody working on this and only a trickle of programming allowed through even when it does work! ARGHHHH.
No screen off feature
As a critique of the app, not the content, it would be nice if one could listen to programes while the screen is off. There doesn’t seem to be a way to listen without a phone in an unlocked state.

The shows
Good morning, The program selection is not as good as it has been in the past. The only show I watch now is the late late. Trisha Boston
Awful user face and playback
Just a terrible app, which is a shame! From the phone to Apple TV, the app needs someone who didn’t study hieroglyphics to fix how it works!
Staying connected
I love being able to see The Late, Late Show, Tommy Tiernan and the Trad music shows. Since the pandemic my biannual trips to Ireland stopped and I feel connected because of RTÉ. Thank you.
