Ratings and reviews

Great content in the app. I am okay with the UI, but UX is not so great. I use it almost everyday. 1. Lags when going through long list of media. 2. It completely stops playing the media when a notification is received instead of just pausing for a second or 2 and then resuming the media. 3. Sometimes when it is playing a list of media, it stops. And when you open the app, it says "You don't have permission to access...". Gimme access to the content and I can make a new one in a month. 🙏

Great App. Everything is in one place. Easy to use. No more transferring files on USB to listen to music or Katha. It's missing one key feature, no Chromecast support to play on other devices. It also doesn't react to earbud buttons to pause and play. If we can get those features, it would be complete app.

The application was functioning satisfactorily on my Oneplus 9 PRO. Upon switching to my new device, the s24 ultra, I am unable to access the app. There is a problem with the OTP. I am not receiving OTP on my phone. I would appreciate it if you could resolve this issue. Jsn. Update: The issue with the OTP has been resolved. On cellular networks, the connection is restricted to downloaded content. However, on Wi-Fi, access to the full application is accessible.
