Hi Dave,
I see what you mean, for instance if you do a search for a programme like
nationwide, you get a list of programmes but the date isn't shown beside the
issue thus you don't know which episode you have. Then if you want to say get
a previous episode from say east enders, the play button doesn't work beside
the episode but a button called "first in series " which is the last episode
will play that episode . the only way to get around this is to do a find
programme search and get up a list of the programmes previous episodes but as I
said you have to flick between each episode to see the date before pressing the
play button. I think we will have to have a regular email conversation with
the designers. Pity, as you say it was a great version previously and now if
you select a programme, you get the full dose of adds that are on tv rather
than a single advert - boring!!!

Subject: [vicsireland] RTÉ Player app
Hi All, and happy new year.
A couple of weeks ago there was a major update and re-design to the RTE Player
on iPhone and iPad.
Sadly, the app has gone backwards in terms of accessibility in this update.
Previously, the app was pretty much perfect in my opinion, but the new one has
unlabelled buttons dotted around the place, and unclear elements, and the video
player, playback controls etc, is now inaccessible.
This is obviously very disappointing. We pay the license fee just like everyone
else, so should expect the same service.
This is even worse when something that was accessible takes retrograde steps.
As well as being morally problematic, I wonder do RTE, as public broadcaster
and license fee recipients, have a legal obligation here?
It's also a pour user interface in general in my opinion. But I guess that's a
different matter ☺️
Many thanks,
Dave
