Ratings and reviews

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.

This is a very nostalgic app especially those who are working abroad. I am listening it in my mobile app. the most disappointing thing is that the app does not start automatically after we disconnect a call. everytime we need to open the app and change the station after the call. it is very much risky especially while driving etc. Also the radio icon in the home screen (top left) is very small and we need so much attention to aim the button. please make it a little more bigger.

A good initiative. Especially in this time of lockdown when I can never get a hold on the family TV remote, I can watch some good programs and listen to good music on this app. At times there are some hitches, but overall a good app. I don't have any issues in watching as I am connected to broadband with good speed. But one thing is there's no option to create a favorite list of programs. The developers can look into this request.
