### 1/5 — Poor service

*2025-08-18*

Dear Jio Fiber Team,

I am writing to raise a serious concern regarding my Jio Fiber connection. For the past one week, the internet has been completely non-functional and the device continuously shows a red blinking light. Despite raising a complaint with your customer support, no technician has visited to resolve the issue.

This prolonged outage has caused significant inconvenience, and the lack of action from your side is highly disappointing. Since I have not been able to use the services I am paying for, I request a refund for the downtime and ask you to arrange for the removal of your equipment at the earliest.

Kindly consider this as my final request. If the issue is not addressed immediately, I will be discontinuing Jio Fiber and switching to Airtel services.

Looking forward to your prompt resolution.

### 5/5 — Yes Jayashree.

*2025-06-05, version 5.0.5*

Like it very very much.

### 1/5 — Can't even login on TV.

*2025-05-24*

It's so stupid when I can't even login my account on TV without the Jio subscription. I paid for the subscription in hope to watch on TV and they don't clarify it anywhere that it won't work on TV. My money is gone now. I won't be watching on phone at all. It's super frustrating when these OTT platforms make u do stuff like these. One of the reasons I hate about online platforms. This was the first time ever I subscribed to atleast watch something for fun and this is what I get. Bloody hell!!!

### 1/5 — Chutia hai jio vale tum

*2025-01-20, version 5.0.0*

Gndve saale mote 6kke or vo criminal salman bc chutia media , rajat ne kisi ki jaan ni li thi

### 1/5 — Bombardment of Advertisements, Great Ambaniji

*2024-09-14*

New idea to raise funds, making public fool who is paying full amount to watch the program content without ads but Premium is not Premium and Jio TV is not Jio TV, it’s now Jio Ads TV. I request Ambaniji to replace the name of Jio TV to Jio Ads TV bcoz the Bombardment  of Ads starts when you just plug in Jio TV and they will not go at all until you switch off it. 
This TV platform is only for those who likes Ads only NOT the CONTENT. Sorry guys (who are fond of watching ads) you may be interrupted to watch program content. I can’t give this app even a single star but I am compelled to give one star bcoz there is nothing below one star, if it would have given a - minus range,  I would have given -10 stars.

**Developer response:** Hi, we are sorry for Advertisements. We will improve the Ad content in the future and we will try to keep the Ads from interfering. Please let us know if you have any other queries.

### 1/5 — JioTV: A Disastrous Streaming Experience

*2024-09-10*

JioTV, once a promising streaming platform, has devolved into a frustrating and unreliable mess. The premium content, a cornerstone of its appeal, is plagued by a litany of issues that render it virtually unusable.
Constant buffering and lagging are the most common culprits, turning what should be a relaxing viewing experience into a torturous ordeal. The app frequently freezes or crashes, forcing users to restart it multiple times. Even when the content manages to play, the picture quality is often subpar, with blurry images and pixelation.
Navigation and interface are equally problematic. The app's design is cluttered and confusing, making it difficult to find the content you're looking for. Search functions are unreliable, often yielding irrelevant results or failing to find anything at all.
It's truly disappointing to see a once-promising platform fall so far short of expectations. JioTV's premium content is a wasted opportunity, and the technical issues are simply unacceptable. Until these problems are addressed, it's safe to say that JioTV remains a frustrating and unreliable streaming service.

### 5/5 — Awesome app to watch ads 😉

*2024-04-09*

This is an industry-leading app to watch ads. Jio has put in solid efforts to deliver us a breakthrough innovation where watching ads is breeze like never before.
I urge the developer team to remove the rest of the content which is useless and distracts users while enjoying ads. I would be requesting Apple separately to allow me rate this app 10 out of 5 in this rarest of rare case of best app in the history of human race.
I think other reviewers bashing app developers for making an awesome app to watch ads are pretty lame. These reviewers have zero knowledge.

### 1/5 — Most basic app

*2024-02-09*

This app is pretty basic. Video quality is BAD, no subtitles options. JIO gives sony liv and zee5 subscription with certain recharge plans. So i did an annual plan recharge. Only after doing it i found out i have to watch zee5 and sony liv contents through this app. 
So i tried watching this movie “everything everyone all at once” which has a lot of mandarin dialogues.  Since this app doesn't provide subtitles i can't watch the movie. 
Just make it possible yo watch it in the sony live and zee5 app jio team. I really want to uninstall this pathetic app as soon as possible

### 1/5 — Video Player Bugs

*2023-11-23*

Whenever playing any video normally.. without fast forwarding it.. always after 1 or 2 mins playback video loops and starts from the beginning automatically or sometimes random video starts automatically..
don't know what causing it but what fixes this issue for next 1 min atleast while watching is just pause the video select video quality either auto or low.. then video starts where it was stopped working.. have to do this again and again for fixing and watching whole video completely..

### 1/5 — Can’t watch any shows

*2023-11-08*

Your JioCinema app no longer works for any Colors Kannada shows. This app is useless. Send an update to JioCinema app or this app.

**Developer response:** Dear User, Colors Kannada channel is working fine on JioTV app and it can be viewed in both normal and HD options. Could you please help us understand if you are facing any issues in viewing the same.
