The service provides news, current affairs, entertainment, sport, local and international dramas,[3] and allows viewers to watch programmes from 7 to 21 days after they are broadcast.

According to RTÉ, it is "one of the first broadcasters in the world to launch a comprehensive international online TV catch-up service.

"[10] Popular soap operas are available on a 7-day catch-up basis, while home produced entertainment and children's programming is available for 21 days.

When initially launched RTÉ had already secured rights for online streaming for many British and Australian shows such as EastEnders and Home and Away.

The full content offering can be accessed and watched free of advertising for a monthly subscription of €8.99 ($8.99/ £6.99) through the App Store.

This subscription helps to cover the cost of securing the international rights for the content and for delivering this premium quality video-on-demand service.

A freedom of information request in late 2019 revealed that RTÉ received a series of complaints from the public that showed that while commercials seemed to work very well, the actual content frequently didn't play.
