RTÉ Radio Player

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.

Many, many rough edges both in the content and the app. Edit out time critical content (news, weather). You can do this easily. Don't start streaming news with an advert. That really sucks. Put a close button on every interface. I cannot abide an app that cannot be closed. But keep up the good work - vital public service, especially for the diaspora (I live overseas). GRMA.

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.
