Ratings and reviews

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.

Great content. User experience needs work. For example, audio stops playing when audible notification received. And you have to open app to resume and it may not be resumed from last stopped place. The player not seen on lock screen. No way to pause or play while phone is locked. The app simply doesn't remember where you stopped to resume playback. It always goes back to some place it stopped in past.

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.
