Ratings and reviews

One year back I gave feedback saying that Radio gets switched off at its own will. Even with steady internet connection, radio gets switched off for no reason, even if I don't press anything. The simple expectation is that Radio should play in the background. Before starting the app, i pray to god, so that app will not stop playing abruptly. Even after i gave feedback you have not resolved the issue. Why such a lapse from your side?

Overall design needs to improve. Navigation within the app is troublesome. After 5 minutes, transmission stops and it never comes back. 2 stars for only thinking of having such an important, useful traditional radio app. But not useful at all, and breakage in transmission isn't expected in a radio app, which is a frequent phenomenon here. Kindly look into these...

Thank you for providing a very useful app. I have a few concers. In a playlist please stop the tilte flow. The titles keep moving to the left of the screen and I cannot read the full title. Instead please have a minimise and maximize option to read the full title. The video channels sometimes get stuck in a blank page and no content is displayed. Kindly fix this bug. The latest news is very limited. Please have a feature to increase the topics. Thank you.
