RTÉ News App Reviews

Bl

App constantly crashes not usable anymore

Good job RTÉ. The app is simple and quick to load, making it rather user friendly.

Nice to stay in touch with news from home

Wont even open anymore

very very nice, with a great live streaming function. Definitely a must have app for english as foreign language speakers like me Who want to keep their language skills up to the task

The news articles are good. However, the benefit of this application above other Irish news apps, should be the ability to watch the RTE news by video stream. When Ive watched it the pictures have lasted a maximum of 1 minute, then they disappear and youre left with audio only. As an expat living in Boston, disappointing.

Hello I really do enjoy the " rte news " app but come on if you can do " rte player " on pc you can surely do it also as an app. I am Irish-American and believe me tv over here is terrible at least rte puts on mostly high quality programming. Please for all ex Irish pats or even Irish worldwide please do an rte player app soon thanks much Michael c. Sparkman Oklahoma USA

If you look up to the top right of your screen you can watch the news 24 hrs a day you eejits. I want them to remove the ad down the bottom so I dont open it accidentally when scrolling down.

Love this app, great for keeping up to date on all types of Irish news when Im away. One flaw, on the entertainment news section it always appears to be missing extra pictures and links in some articles , for example in competitions etc. Not a huge deal but annoying when they are talking about a picture you cant see. Other than that its the first app I open up in the morn when I wake up along with my emails and facebook

An update is meant to improve things - OMG talk about completely screwing up an app. Ads everywhere. Ads b4 the live feed that wont load properly so when its frozen and you click to close its interactive and jumps to the web page so u get to see more ads. Deleting and resyncing with the old one still on the computer. Thank god I dont use cloud--Otherwise there would be no going back.

I have been a DAILY user of this app for a couple of years, in fact I PAID for this app but when it stopped working (i.e No Updates) I deleted it and loaded the "free" version. The free version crashes often and is full of Ads. I am now looking elsewhere for news content.

Was good, now garbage. Ill try again when updates work.

Was ok but now too many ads ruined it. Cop on ! Get smart about it and find a better way.

I love the RTE Radio aps and RTE Player aps. I could not get through a week without them as an Irish expat. What has happened to the RTE NEWS NOW aps? The last version was damaged by the advert banners and this forced update is ruined by embedding "Entertainment News" in the main news page. How hard do we have to work to get to the serious news content, i.e. segregated into Irish, World, Political news? Reviewers on the itunes-Ireland website, also rated the aps poorly for similar reasons. I give 1-star rating to this version, for eroding the ease of access to serious NEWS content.

The main navigation is way worse than the previous version. Way too much work to access different sections. The existence of entertainment news in the home page view even after I removed it from the sections is really really poor.

You cant swipe stories properly, the last app was better.

This is a good okay world news app. When breaking news is happening you are notified as soon as the news is happening... And its a good European news app overall. It could be better like BBC or FNC . I would giving this news app a 5 star but needs more news alerts and updates that the other news apps are doing

This really is a step backwards from the previous versions. All the stories appear in what looks like random groupings of news, sports and entertainment with different sized and for the most part oversized photos associated with each one. Theres no obvious "Headline" list making it harder to decipher whats important. ...And because of the oversized photos you have to scroll excessively to get through it all. There is a menu where you can select the category youre interested in which helps - a little. But the default state of the main page at open is just a mess... This seems to be an example of "form over function" where graphic designers have run amok.. Prior versions were more concise where you could see most headlines at a glance, then click into whatever story you were interested in. Downsizing the photos and recreating a concise Headline list would, in my opinion, be a big help...

Crashes in iOS 8 every time. Go to a news story anthem go back. Crash. Ios8 iphone6.
