Most frustrating and dissatisfaction

What the hell is happening with Jio Hotstar, we cannot even watch 5 minutes sports highlights peacefully. Even after paying subscription, they are showing 4 or 5 adds continuously. If you desperately need to show ads please make it free otherwise have some respect and stop showing so many ads in short videos. Ads make us sick and irritating and feel like uninstalling the apps.

Play back Issue

Hi, I’m having a problem with my JioHotstar app. When I watch a movie and skip forward to a particular scene, it plays for a few minutes and then suddenly goes back to the beginning. This keeps happening repeatedly.

I use Chromecast to watch Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime, and they all work perfectly without any issues. I’m experiencing this problem only with JioHotstar, even when I try watching directly on my iPhone without Chromecast.

This issue has been happening for months, and it’s very frustrating. Could you please help me fix this problem?

Does not meet expectations

I subscribed to be able to use the voting option but it never seems to work or be available. Support will just reply that voting will be available from another date and is closed. Not helpful. Will cancel subscription

Great Content, But Poor Landscape Mode Support on Tablets!

Great Content, But Poor Landscape Mode Support on Tablets!

JioHotstar needs to improve its landscape mode support on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A11. The app only switches to landscape mode after you start playing a video. When you finish watching and want to browse or select another video, you have to rotate the tablet back to portrait mode, choose the next video, and then rotate it again to landscape.

This is frustrating on a tablet, where landscape viewing should work naturally throughout the app. Please fix this issue and allow users to browse and select content in landscape mode without constantly rotating their device. A better tablet experience is badly needed!

Playback Freezing Issues

The app has a very frustrating playback issue. While watching a show, the screen frequently freezes, forcing to stop watching and restart the same episode multiple times. Sometimes, even halfway through an episode, it suddenly starts playing from the beginning instead of where left off.

This is extremely annoying and ruins the entire viewing experience. Please fix these playback and progress-saving issues.

Boycott Bigboss

These makers of big boss make this show so much biased. I don’t know why they eliminated the nakul from the show and we can clearly see that that decision was unfair. Uninstalling the jio hotstar.

Nakul

Why we are paying this app ? Shame on to Bigg boss team after Nakul 😓 it was totally unfair

Big Boss Unfair Eviction for Nakul

How they can evict Nakul from bigg boss, even when he was just pushing while Mahi Literly hit him on his back. How is this fair?

Nakul

We can’t watch big boss after nakul evicted 🫡

Nakul

We paid jio hotstar bills specially for something interesting after long time we see nakul entered the bigg boss house and he got eliminated by so pushes. We want nakul back otherwise we gonna cancel jio subscription.
