### 4/5 — Good news app… but unable to receive notifications since last year.

*2023-05-03*

It has been a good app in past but from last 5-6 months not able to get news notifications despite of checking all the setting within app and phone as well. Would request developers to look in to it please and suggest me the wayout. Looking forward to rate 5 star.

Really appreciate the daily newspapers section. The best thing about this app.

### 4/5 — Magazines magazines magazines

*2021-12-11*

I love how much content this app provides and that to ask for free. I love to spend time reading all kinds of magazines and the only concern I have is if I’m reading a magazine and switch to different app, the app returns to Home Screen which is annoying and I open it again by going back to magazines section and finding the one I was reading earlier. Please fix this. Otherwise a great app

**Developer response:** Dear User,

### 4/5 — Please bring back JioMags app it was the best thing ever.

*2021-01-07*

Update: Thanks devs for listening to the define options, unfortunately there is no way to subscribe to jio mags except through a jiosim or a specific jiofiber plan.

Edit:Still unable to select a word and get options like define in magazines like Jagran Josh ,pratiyogita darpan etc. if you fear piracy then at least limit word selection to two or three word or remove option of copy.

App crashes very often if I switch app and go back or when iPad goes to sleep when reading, the older version of the app called JioMags was the best thing ever, it had all the features perfectly suitable for an ebook app, ever since this jionews was released the experience has only degraded,THERE IS NO BOOKMARKING FEATURE ALSO, what’s the deal with that? The app never properly remembers what page I was on before it crashed or I had opened the app after sometime. Enable word selection so that I can know its definition quickly, it is very inconvenient that I have to constantly switch apps for definition

**Developer response:** Dear User,

You asked, We Heard. Now you can experience JioNews on iPad like never before. So hurry up, try our app on iPad and do share your feedback with us. https://apple.co/31qa7lm

### 4/5 — Complete integration of Jio mags in Magazine section

*2020-09-18*

Jio news is good app but it couldn’t provide the same experience we had with magazine reading in jio mags. We loved the Jio mags app which allowed us to highlight, make a note and also bookmark pages. These killer features made me use the app greatly which aren’t provided by many other apps. It made me stick with jio mags and drove me towards reading magazines. I never felt it like a digital version but I could use the magazine in more tangible way. I wish you could integrate all the features of jio mags or relaunch jio mags. Having a dedicated app for magazine could improve modularity while developing and provide the features which users want. To be more honest I use jio for jio mags; without jio mags I couldn’t stick with jio.
I have reported this issue on Jan 7 but I couldn’t find any improvement in app unlike your promise of upgrading the app.

**Developer response:** Dear Shesha,

We are glad that you liked our app. Kindly update your app. We are introducing a new feature. If you need any assistance, feel free to write to us at jionews@jio.com.

### 4/5 — Bug Report

*2020-02-16*

This and a few previous version of app have a bug. If the app is closed, then tapping on notification will open that news.
However, if I open one news, go to notification center, and tap on another Jio news notification without closing this app, then notification will disappear, and that news also won’t open.

### 5/5 — Please add Dark Mode

*2019-11-17*

In my opinion ‘JioNews’ is a good app for readers.
But developers should definitely add the Dark Mode feature for JioNews app, Not only for iOS 13 please add in iOS 12 also
Because lots users are now using iOS 12.
Please consider my request and implement it very fast.
I think the developer team is very responsible when i read others’ reviews.

**Developer response:** Dear User,

Thank you for your feedback. We will definitely consider implementing these suggestions  on our app in the near future.

### 1/5 — Classic Case of Enticement and Trapping

*2025-11-13*

Evolved from a very good app to a third rate app which can’t be called news at all. Jio Coupons will be a more appropriate name as it makes mockery of so-called news article by spamming it with pop ups every 5 seconds. What a disgraceful fall from a greed company which kept on trimming everything from the app and its incompetent developers pretend to be working on enhancement.

### 1/5 — Full of Ads & less content

*2025-06-16*

We cant even read a news, everytime an ad pops up in the entire screen. Quite irritatating.

### 1/5 — After update now this app becomes useless

*2025-05-20*

Jiomag app used to have lots of good magazines and lall important newspapers so i had option to select a particular newspaper and magazine to read as per our prefrence but now magazines and newspapers  disappeared as Jio/Reliance has a long history of providing everything earlier and later removing all slyly and cunningly .Now only repetitive irrelevant news from different sources along with plethora of irritating ads are being shown so this app is now useless for me as there are better news apps available than it so I am now uninstalling it .

**Developer response:** Dear User,
The Magazines and Newspaper sections are temporarily unavailable as we work on a technical upgrade. We’ll bring them back in the coming months with an improved experience. In the meantime, you can continue consuming news in your other preferred formats. Thanks for your support!

### 1/5 — Too many problems

*2023-06-03*

Old app was good, in this app loads of issues
You cannot scroll don to see magazine as it minimises the content when you do that.  You cannot select multiple languages. Today I changed language to Gujarati or read news paper and all English news paper appears out there. When you scroll and select a tab from the magazine it returns back to the first one quite frustating you have to start again. Not at impressed with QA of this app.

**Developer response:** Dear User,

Thank you for writing to us. Our team is working on this issue, and we will release an update with bug fixes shortly.

### 1/5 — Latest version not useful….

*2023-05-29*

I am using Jio News from many year….though I hv earlier also submitted feedback…that lot of changes required in older version app….
But when I recently update with new version app I found many issues 
1. Language selection…only single language can select for both UI and content which really not all good. Whereas in previous version have more than one language option.
2. News papers listing is older than current date. Also due to language selection only one language papers can listed. So allow multiple language papers like Hindi as well as English too.
3. UI is not interactive and user friendly too….lot of good apps are available in market for same purpose. So would suggest to go through some of them and come up with new one.
5.Designer should think intuitive way and keep in the mind user requirement

Hope u will found FEEDBACK in good shape and looking forward to update in app

### 1/5 — Previous version was Good

*2019-11-25*

Day by day features of the apps will increase and become more user friendly but in case both jio magazine and news apps merged and removed many features, it is no more user friendly and this can’t be usable much. Previous of app was too good, now it became kindoff useless.  

The previous versions of both jio magazine and JioNews apps has many features and very user friendly..  try bring back old apps so customer can use this services smoothly or try to make two versions for the app lite version of app and normal version of the app which has many features.

We hope that we will see new versions of the app that is more user friendly soon.

**Developer response:** Dear User,

Thank you for your feedback. We will definitely consider implementing these suggestions on our app in the near future.

### 1/5 — An embarrassment

*2019-05-25*

Not optimized for the device that’s best suited for reading magazines and papers - iPad. Collection is slim. Would have been a good product if it was released 8-9 years ago.

sorry for the unpleasant experience you had with our app. We request you to upgrade the app to the latest version as we have fixed the bug. Do write to us at JioNews@jio.com if you still face any issue.

### 3/5 — The e newspapers gets removed from background automatically.

*2022-07-21*

The App requires to fix a bug where if the e-magazine or newspaper is placed in the background for few minutes the file gets automatically removed and the app starts from its menu page Further, on opening the pdf it displays the first page and there is no feature of continue reading from the pages web stop so the company required to get it updated as it is available in another apps.

### 4/5 — Request for Clarification on Text Highlighting in Jio News App

*2023-09-28*

I’m a new user of the Jio News app and have been enjoying the content it offers. I recently tried to highlight text within articles for reference but couldn’t find the feature.

I wanted to inquire whether text highlighting is available in the app and, if so, how to use it. If the feature is currently unavailable, I’d like to suggest its addition in a future update. It would greatly enhance the reading experience and help users like me engage more deeply with the content.

**Developer response:** Dear Nikhil,

### 5/5 — Great App experience

*2024-05-29*

Just wanted to appreciate how great the user experience is on this app. The live news is really fast and very streamlined. Only one issue. I don’t know is it specific with magazine reading or what there are full screen ads which is really bad ads are fine because it’s a free app but not full screen ads. It must be more small banner ads.

### 5/5 — New version is good

*2023-05-14*

UI is good. I hope this time notifications issues should not appear. Previously whenever we receive any news notification and if we click on it, the app crashes and we miss that news which we clicked on it. Hope this should not happen in new and coming versions. Also, kindly improve other Jio apps UI as well.

### 5/5 — what an app!!!

*2022-05-11*

Superb effort from reliance. What a premium service for jio sim users. However, it is pretty bad marketing that I never knew about this app and the subscription I automatically get through Jio Sim. Fantastic from Jio, It is a premium that I will not switch now to Airtel which I was thinking since many days due to slower internet speed.

### 5/5 — Best App!

*2022-04-01*

This is by far the most valuable and cost effective subscription oriented app for aspiring UPSC and State Civil Service Examination s which is available through Jio SIM subscribers for a zero premium fee.

It would have been better if a wide selection of Newspapers and Magazines added in upcoming version updates of the app. Overall it’s a great app for aspirants who owns Jio SIM.

### 5/5 — All newspapers and magazines in one place

*2022-03-26*

Although Jio is currently binding Jio News with its recharge offers and giving it free for 500 days for non Jio users, I hope they don’t change the scheme of things. I love the fact that Jio gives all newspapers in one place. No need to look around for different newspapers. Easy to navigate and read. I give this excellent app 5 on 5 for its vast variety of newspapers which if we buy individually will cost us thousands.

### 5/5 — Compatibility issues with iPad Pro

*2021-09-08*

Though The current version does include good combination of selections it’s not showing full screen on iPad Pro. The earlier version was in complete compatible with iPad Pro, where a reader can get full screen view. Hope the design team will make a note to develop compatible version soon.

**Developer response:** Dear User,

You asked, We Heard. Now you can experience JioNews on iPad like never before. So hurry up, try our app on iPad and do share your feedback with us. https://apple.co/31qa7lm

### 5/5 — One stop shop for all your magazine reading!

*2021-07-21*

In a world getting more and more acclimatized to watching content, than reading it, I fall into the later minority. This app serves as a bastion for free reading, and serves a tremendous buffet of materials to read. Its my go-to app for regular newspaper and magazine reading. I hope Jio contines to offer this service for free to all its subscribers.

### 5/5 — Excellent App for news

*2021-06-25*

Where ever you are in the world, you can easily be in touch with the local news of India which you can read in a convenient way especially if you have a Tablet.

Only thing is once if you are outside India, better to keep location off in the app
