Lot of nostalgic content included that remembrance us 80s and 90s Doordarshan. But nothing is 100% efficient, all have some paucity , so good thing is identify them and correct. For better experience required some attention. 1. Navigation very slow and app crash while in use multiple times. 2. App hangs repeatedly 3. Watch History not working properly. 4. Adds skip not available like Ytube , adds showing other vernacular language that you have not opt in language settings. 5. Add showing in content when you skip without watching. 6. Signature tune very irritating , for this off option should be available in app setting. 7. Education genre not available in list. 8. There should be a seperate playlist with genre in which year wise released content on Doordarshan 9. Seperate section or playlist with genre provide for NFDC content. ### 3/5 — IIT and university tv and radio channels not added in waves live tv *2025-12-26, version 1.2.0* All free channels in free dish not yet added by Doordarshan. PM tv channels and educational channels not updated. ### 3/5 — Carplay issue *2025-11-01, version 1.1.7* Doesnot play in Carplay .. kindly fix to increase reach and better performance ### 2/5 — unable to watch downloaded files offline *2025-08-29* despite having subscription ,unable to watch downloaded item offline , requires internet and subsequently running with Ads. very annoying. ### 4/5 — Nostalgia and recent *2025-08-21* App crashes many time. Requires restart. Please have a update with bug fixes. ### 3/5 — It won’t work on other devices *2025-06-25* I was trying to connect it to my Samsung smart tv but it wouldn’t work please update that to work on Samsung tv ### 5/5 — Thanks Waves for revolutionising access to Indian news, documentaries and other contents. *2025-06-23* Very 21st century app for Indian content which Is dear for Indian diaspora. ### 5/5 — Long wait is over *2025-05-27* We have been waiting for this app since 2010 , now it looks like dream come true, please don’t stop this app ### 5/5 — Great Job By Prasar Bharti *2025-05-22* Great Job 🙏 ### 5/5 — Very Good fantastic *2025-05-10* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Best Ott *2025-05-03, version 1.0.21* I remember my childhood with this ### 4/5 — Watched content *2025-05-01, version 1.0.21* Watched content is not being stored in the app for continue watching ### 5/5 — Content and interface *2025-04-07* Even though limited content but quality and selection is very good. ### 3/5 — Back option not available. *2025-04-05* When a programme is opened, there is no option provided to go back. We have to close the app & reopen. It reduces the interest for its usage. Please look into. ### 2/5 — only if the app can keep playing in background *2025-03-25, version 1.0.20* the stops playing radio when screen gets off ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs a login *2026-01-16, version 1.2.1* Needs a login, mobile or email, doesn't matter. If it's free to air why do they need this? Deleted. ### 1/5 — Not good ott app *2026-01-10, version 1.2.1* All time this app buffering all the videos and very long ad running that’s why discontinue this app . ### 1/5 — It does not work *2025-06-03* The app opens, shows the logo with copy but after that nothing happens. ### 1/5 — Error on opening *2025-04-17* App is great however off late I am seeing an error. Every time I open the app it loads the Waves logo and shows copy all on IPhone. No other screen, menu option is visible. ### 1/5 — Unable to make payment *2025-02-17* When you try to make payment it opens the app and app don’t have way to purchase the subscription. When Diamond plan is selected it says invalid price on proceeding to pay. At least this part was supposed to work. This is the reason why Indian government companies never make profits. ### 1/5 — 480p is the highest quality? *2024-12-04* This app must be a joke! The max resolution is 480p. In a world where every device has a full hd screen, how are you delivering 480p camera prints is beyond me! ### 1/5 — Good App but Need lot of improvement *2024-11-29, version 1.0.12* Number of FM Channels to be increased and extended to the regions No Kannada news and radio Reduce the commercial ads ### 1/5 — Mindcruise *2024-11-22* I subscribed, against my good sense. I ought not to have. Installation is a pain. Subscription does not show, nor is enabled on the app. Works only through browser. Movies (I no longer have the heart to check the rest) are not free. You have to subscribe to other apps (expensive) to watch a movie. The app itself is badly made. Prasar Bharati needs to fire a few people at the top and get some capable ones. They are not only a drain on national resources but the roadblock on our journey towards having credible world class media. ### 1/5 — Waste app *2024-11-21, version 1.0.11* Not even a single thing works on this app. Don’t know why govt is having issues with every app /web they make .. quota khatam kardo bhai ### 2/5 — No drama *2025-10-25, version 1.1.7* It has no k dramas I finally thought I found a site which had free dramas but it does not have only ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good waves ott *2026-08-20* Nice app ### 5/5 — Amazing app for Indian tv channels *2026-07-16* So happy to have this app on mobile, I live abroad and I see all important channels through this app. So good quality and easy payments method.
