The Best App

I had always wondered why did Govt. of India and All India Radio not have an app. Finally so happy that current Govt. of India is upgrading its infrastructure and utilizing technology to reach masses across the globe. I was missing AIR’s Vividh Bharati since moving to USA. Thanks AIR team !!

Nice Service

बहुत बढ़िया ऐप! सभी AIR और FM चैनल एक ही जगह सुनने को मिलते हैं। आवाज़ की क्वालिटी साफ़ है और कनेक्शन भी स्टेबल रहता है। रेडियो प्रेमियों के लिए परफेक्ट ऐप! 🎧📻

Best of the best

I have waited for decades and hoped AIR would bring an app for iPhones so that we can stream live Akashvani in USA. Finally it is here and it works flawlessly. Thank you Vividhbharti!!
