Ratings and reviews

The latest update few weeks back is good. But the app refuses to start on my android. Reinstalled 3 times but same issue. Please resolve. Awesome content and rich source of information, music and knowledge in so many Indian languages. I am almost addicted to the app. Please resolve issues asap. Pease bring back the 'favourite' option in radio channel listing. Bring back the volume dial on radio. Try giving the radio a classic tuner look. Like old 📻 Update -Clearing data / cache helped. Thanks!

Updated review : Thanks to the dev team for fixing the issues mentioned in my earlier review. The app now allows one to listen to radio stations and add them as favorite too. Introduction of Dark mode is a nice feature. Would suggest to change the play icon against each station in Dark mode via to a lighter color and retain the current blue for the Light mode. The mini player in the notifications panel can show more information. Please add support for Android Auto to play music in car.

Glad that efforts are on to make this app better. That said the end result still has not reached the desired brilliance. Dark mode still has stability issue. Abrupt disconnection is still very common. Sound & over all streaming quality is average. Not available on the Android auto or on Carplay. Car mode still is a sour miss, most of the live radio listeners want to listen while driving. NewsOnAir shall do really well to follow similar platforms such as TuneIn premium as a benchmark in this.
