### 1/5 — Never able to open the app

*2026-08-14, version 26.08.03*

Keeps telling me retry retry. Never able to open the app itself

### 1/5 — Trash app

*2026-08-10, version 26.08.03*

One of the most poorly built applications. Its appalling that these guys are representing india to the world🤮
Garbage app

### 1/5 — Device logged out ban

*2026-07-30, version 26.07.20*

App keeps kicking me out and placing me on 24 hour ban for not reason , I have an active Jio number and not using any VPNs

### 1/5 — Worst Interface and Paid promotion

*2026-07-12*

This app was so much better when it was Disney+ Hotstar.

The current interface is one of the worst I’ve used. It’s confusing, cluttered, laggy, and nowhere near user-friendly.

The touch experience is terrible. Every time I tap on one series, a completely different show opens. And no, it’s NOT my phone. I tested it on two other devices and the exact same thing happened.

The scrolling is completely inconsistent. Sometimes it scrolls so fast that it skips everything, other times it lags, hangs, and barely responds. It feels unfinished.

And can someone explain why I have to keep clicking on JioHotstar or Tadka while I’m simply trying to watch a series? I understand promotions, but forcing them into the experience every single time is incredibly annoying.

The biggest joke? We’re paying for a subscription and still getting bombarded with ads. A 20-minute episode has around 6 ads, each lasting about 10 seconds, plus ads before the episode starts and in between the episode. What’s the point of paying if the experience is this disruptive?

Honestly, this update has made the platform worse in almost every way. Right now, Prime Video and Netflix offer a far superior user experience. If this is the direction the app is going, you’re giving users every reason to switch.

This version is forceful and reads like a strong app store review without becoming abusive, which tends to be more effective.

### 3/5 — Ad fishing

*2026-07-09, version 26.06.22*

The content hangs every few seconds and trying to resume is always leading to another ad that you have to watch. Even after that, there is no guarantee that the content will run. “Priyanka & Pedro” one episode is hanging 10-15 times. Fed up with this. Netflix and Amazon Prime are far superior.

### 5/5 — Really great streaming

*2026-06-19, version 26.06.08*

It’s great that u can see all sorts of anime and can watch Bluey bot one problem…now when I open JioHotstar and if I tap a show(eg. MasterChef ) there’s only this black screen and it takes ages for it to start that channel/movie on my iPad. Can u please fix that problem

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-06-17, version 26.06.08*

I loved how diverse the shows and games were!! I love JioHotstar

### 5/5 — Why this app not in usa

*2026-06-15, version 26.05.25*

I like this app but it’s not available in usa

### 1/5 — Bakvas app

*2026-06-07, version 26.05.25*

Too much bug in tv app

### 1/5 — What a junk

*2026-05-27, version 26.04.28*

Junk app totally
