Great that you've done this, but wouldn't it be better to put all the stations in one app?

That way people might be more likely to try out other RTÉ stations that they might not have otherwise.

It would also be better for those who listen to more than one station already.

Well done though, nice to see them in the app store all the same!

... and why not get yourselves the Phantom app - the social radio app at the same time! Works on iPhone and iPod touch devices (OS 3.0 and above)

http://short.ie/dezj5u

(Note: the above link will open iTunes on your machine)

You can also get the Phantom app by going to the App store on your iPhone.

Enjoy!

Don't know if you are aware, but we also have an Apple Media Devices forum for all things iPhone/iPod Touch related.

I've started a thread on this application over there.

Hi all,
just to revive this thread with a new story

All eleven RTÉ Radio Services in your pocket

RTÉ Radio launches comprehensive iPhone application

On Friday 27 August, RTÉ Radio released its definitive iPhone application encompassing all eleven of its stations. In less than a week, the RTÉ Radio Pocket Player has already topped the free download charts on iTunes as Ireland’s most popular music application and holds the number two overall position in the country.

The application, a veritable one stop shop for all things RTÉ Radio, not only provides access to the 4 national services, RTÉ Radio 1, 2fm, lyric fm and Raidió Na Gaeltachta, but also the niche output of all 7 digital radio stations. Along with its audio functions the new application allows the listener greater interaction with each station by one touch access to a variety of RTÉ’s social media including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube channels.

Says JP Coakley, Director of Operations, RTÉ Radio:

“We are delighted with this early vote of confidence by users in the Pocket Player. The design, function and utility of the app are an appropriate vehicle for the wonderful range and quality of content from RTÉ Radio. We are also very pleased to be able to present all 11 RTE Radio services in one application and to highlight our suite of 7 Digital radio services alongside their mainstream counterparts. The iPhone application environment remains a great place for us to imagine how radio will evolve in the future, our next challenge is to replicate this with other smart devices. We are particularly excited by what might be possible for phones with FM capability where free transmission can meet rich data via the phone network. ”

The RTÉ Radio Pocket Player was commissioned by RTÉ Radio’s New Media Unit and developed in house under project lead, Digital Production Coordinator, David Timpson. The application was designed by Glen Forde, RTÉ TV Graphics with software development by All in Media.

The Pocket Player now joins related Apps for the Documentary on One, RTÉ News Now and previously separate station applications for RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ 2fm.

Download the RTÉ Pocket Player iPhone App from:
http://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/rte-pocket/id387936498?mt=8

*Application images available*

Ways to Listen:
Listeners to RTÉ Radio can now access services on FM, on LW, on digital radio and TV, live on-line and follow-up on-demand on our websites, via podcast, on various mobile applications, via satellite throughout Europe, and on SW in Africa.

I've been impressed with the RTE apps, and kudos for embracing this so quickly and comprehensively. The Docs app is particularly impressive. Well done!

Kudos Dave on the heads up... the RTÉ Pocket Radio is indeed very nice... nice that it's iOS4 compatible too (and so continues playing in the background) and I presume it now supersedes the old R1 & 2FM apps (i.e.: they'll no longer be developed/updated but it will...) ?

If anyone wants to suggest Android apps, I'll happily create a sticky for them. I own an iPhone myself (as do a lot of people) so I thought the thread might be handy.

My comment was directed more towards RTE creating iPhone apps but not Android apps

Ah, fair point... although in fairness they're far from alone there (just look at the sticky... )

No, it's just a gateway for all of the RTE live streams instead of needing a separate app (icon) for each station.
