Ratings and reviews

Thank you, Vividha Bharathi team. You folks made it Android auto compatible and it now resumes playing after phone calls, very good. Still giving 4 stars because... New bug introduced - there is some timing issue that I have never seen before in earlier versions. If I launch the app, click on live radio immediately and then click on my favorite station - it keeps spinning at the bottom, never starts playing. If I wait enough time aftr launching app, also after clicking live radio, then it works.

On Feb 16, 2016, I had reviewed this app and gave 3 stars. Today, I am giving it 5 because the app has made remarkable improvements. We can sign up, save stories, there are live transmission of programmes from all AM and FM stations, plus main TV channels. The interface has also improved a lot. I hope the app will still get better during the months ahead.

I've been using the mobile app for several years, and been very satisfied with its contents and ease of use. However, after a recent upgrade, it has become completely unusable. Initially, it always prompts me to log in, and once I log in, it only gives me options to listen to AIR news portals. Previously, it was easy to navigate and play radios from Vividh Bharti to any city's FM radio stations. Now, even clicking on the Vividh Bharti link opens up a web browser and then crashes.
