The Jio Hotstar app is one of the best OTT platforms . available in India today. It offers a seamless streaming experience with a wide range of content—from blockbuster movies and exclusive web series to live sports and news channels. The interface is clean, fast, and easy to navigate, making it user-friendly for all age groups. Video quality automatically adjusts to internet speed, ensuring smooth playback even on moderate connections. One of the biggest highlights is live streaming of cricket matches and popular TV shows, which keeps viewers glued. The integration with Jio ensures convenient access and attractive subscription bundles, making it great value for money. Overall, Jio Hotstar stands out for its content variety, performance, and reliability. Whether you're a movie buff, sports lover, or binge-watcher, it’s a must-have app for your entertainment needs.

The content they have is good but how the new updates on app have disrupted it the entire ott experience is worst. I’d also written to the hotstar team to bring back the watchlist option which was on the previous version on app that allows a user to add individual episodes to the watchlist. That was very simple and easier way to navigate through any particular episode. But after the new update that came in March, this feature has been disabled. You can now only add the entire series of any show to the watchlist but not particular episodes. With every update on the app in apple store, the team very conveniently write that “we are listening to you…” are you guys actually listening? These apps are made to give us entertainment, we are charged for the quality of app, content. App updates are made to fix bugs, issues ,not to distrupt the user experience, which you guys have been doing since almost 6 months. And doing a fab job in spoiling the experience 👏🏻. All the more worst experience is while navigating through episodes, the entire list just doesn’t open. Please explain how do you move forward or backwards to pick up from where we left the series? Your team has all the screenshots of the issues I have addressed, please do your homework and then come back with a resolution, ‘literally’. High time you should genuinely start listening to your users!

Seriously, how many ads do you think people can tolerate before they stop using your platform altogether? The constant barrage of advertisements is already bad enough, but now you're cranking up the volume every time an ad starts? It's not just annoying — it's disrespectful to your users.This kind of cheap, intrusive publicity is insulting. You're blasting ads at double the volume of the actual content, clearly hoping to force attention. It's manipulative, inconsiderate, and borderline abusive. Do you really think people won’t notice or care? Spoiler: we notice, and we’re tired of it.And what’s worse is that even subscribers, people who actually pay for your service, are still subjected to some form of advertising or promotion. Why? What exactly are we paying for if not an ad-free, smooth experience?You’re pushing more ads, increasing their volume, and ruining the basic user experience — all while pretending it's normal. It’s not. It’s greedy, lazy, and a complete disregard for the people keeping your platform alive.Stop with the excessive ads. Stop manipulating volume levels to force attention. And most of all, stop treating your users like they don’t matter. You’re not fooling anyone.

I am not happy with the way Wimbledon is being broadcasted by Star ... Star is cricket centric and they always show the same old stuff repeatedly on 8 channels ... And for namesake other sports are included... Select1 and Select2 are for ‘sports’ like football, tennis, F1 etc... And when IPL starts all of this go for a toss and we are left with one channel which will show only one of the sports and you guys force the customers to either watch cricket or subscribe to Hotstar ... And does that resolve the issue? No ... I have seen a drop in the quality of the HD content on Hotstar especially for live sports... Even with my 200 mbps connection, the video buffers... My first question to star is why the hell do you have 10-12 channels if you want to show the same cricket matches or shows on 90% of your channels ... And moreover IPL is shown on multiple channels with the same language... I have an issue with the current Wimbledon broadcast also ... Whenever there is Sania’s or any Indian’s game, it has been telecasted on two channels, why do you force us to watch this and don’t give an option for us ... And you won’t find it even on Hotstar... And Hotstar includes only a few highlights ... It’s disgusting and I feel annoyed that I have to pay so much to get such a low quality content ... Shame on your marketing strategies... I miss ESPN ... That one channel had so many quality content... Ot does prove that quality is more important than quantity... Anyway I know hardly anything is going to change because 90% of the Indians are happy with cricket... If you guys had done this with Football I would still be against this dirty marketing tricks... Shame on you...

I have a serious request to the makers of Bigg Boss 20 to please pay attention to the way Kazi is being treated inside the house. For the past two weeks and now into the third week, Kazi has been a major part of the discussions surrounding the show, and many viewers also feel that he has contributed significantly to the interest and conversations around the show. However, the way several contestants repeatedly target him, speak badly about him, and use abusive language against him is genuinely upsetting for a section of the audience. Arguments and disagreements are a normal part of Bigg Boss, but ganging up on one contestant like this makes viewers uncomfortable. If Kazi makes a mistake or if any contestant has an issue with him, it can be discussed and resolved through a proper conversation, however repeatedly making personal comments and using abusive language doesn’t feel like healthy entertainment. The audience wants Kazi to receive the same respect, fair treatment, and opportunity to express himself that other contestants receive. I sincerely request the makers to take this matter seriously, because the audience does not want to see only fights and drama; they also expect fairness, dignity, and basic respect among the contestants.

Compared to Netflix and Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar’s plans feel like a bad deal. Despite offering a three-tier subscription model, only the Premium plan gives an ad-free experience and highest video quality. Even after paying for the lower two plans, you still get ads — one at the beginning and end of an episode would have been understandable, but Hotstar shows the same ad five times per episode, across 10-12 episodes. It becomes frustrating and counterproductive to the point of making me hate the brand being advertised. Whoever is responsible for this either doesn’t understand marketing or is simply trying to annoy users into upgrading to Premium.And even if you pay for Premium, you’ll still see ads while watching live sports — so it doesn’t fully deliver on the “ad-free” promise either.The user interface is another letdown. I have to tap twice just to play the next episode, which feels unnecessary and clunky. Overall, the experience is not smooth at all. For the prices they charge, the platform seriously needs to fix its priorities.

Despite the app offering a commendable content discovery feature, my overall experience with streaming has been quite disappointing. Despite having a 5G connection and a reliable internet service, I've consistently encountered issues with downloads, which invariably remain stuck at 0%. The streaming quality, unfortunately, doesn't meet the standards set by other OTT platforms like Netflix. It's disheartening to note that, despite being a paid service, I find myself resorting to alternative means such as pirate websites.What's particularly striking is the noticeable contrast in streaming quality when comparing the app to these unauthorized sources. It's perplexing that random individuals managing pirate websites can provide a smoother and higher-quality streaming experience than a paid service. As a paying customer, this disconnect between my expectations and the delivered service is disconcerting. I had hoped for a seamless 720p streaming experience, yet I'm left with no choice but to explore alternative avenues for better quality content consumption.

I’m quite sure I’ve noticed a glitch in your app that seems to happen more often than it should. Just yesterday, I tried watching a show I regularly follow, and out of nowhere, it asked me to subscribe or pay to play the episode — something that’s usually available as part of my plan. I didn’t change anything on my end, but strangely, today it’s working fine again and I can watch it without any issues.It reminded me of similar complaints I’ve come across online from other users — globally too — where people reported being asked to pay again for content they’ve already paid for. It’s frustrating, especially when you’re all set to relax and unwind.Please don’t let these glitches chip away at the trust and integrity what Disney built as legacy. I’ve always enjoyed using the platform, but things like this make us question the consistency. Hoping you’ll look into this and prevent it from happening again.

I like the content. Only disappointed with very untimely advertisements. They are very frequent that if i get a call in between the program and then resume the program advs will start again. If my wifi disconnects and then resumes back again advs starts. Some times after advertisement screen blanks our where i have to go back and resume the video again then advs starts again. All the advertisements repeated are really really use less and boring. Now after seeing them repeatedly I’m getting negative feeling about those brands and never going to buy them.Hotstar team, i can understand that this is the way you can earn. But same time you have to make sure that they are not making customers irritated and get negative feelings about the brands.Now a days I’m getting most of the content from other sources as well and so I’m not preferring to use Hotstar.

Ever since Disney+ Hotstar turned into JioCinema/Hotstar, the app experience has become extremely disappointing. Almost every time I try to watch a new show or movie, the screen randomly goes black, making it impossible to continue watching. On top of that, the app constantly forces me to change the audio or subtitle settings — even after I set my preferences, the same issue keeps coming back repeatedly.It completely ruins the viewing experience. I just want to sit and enjoy my shows, but with these constant interruptions, it’s frustrating and unwatchable. How are we supposed to enjoy content when the screen goes black in the middle, and we have to keep adjusting settings again and again?To make matters worse, even when we want to report the issue or get help, there’s no proper helpline or support option. Where is the helpline? How are users supposed to find help in this situation? Please do something about this — paying users deserve a smooth and reliable experience.
