Thank you, Vividha Bharathi team. You folks made it Android auto compatible and it now resumes playing after phone calls, very good. Still giving 4 stars because... New bug introduced - there is some timing issue that I have never seen before in earlier versions. If I launch the app, click on live radio immediately and then click on my favorite station - it keeps spinning at the bottom, never starts playing. If I wait enough time aftr launching app, also after clicking live radio, then it works.

On Feb 16, 2016, I had reviewed this app and gave 3 stars. Today, I am giving it 5 because the app has made remarkable improvements. We can sign up, save stories, there are live transmission of programmes from all AM and FM stations, plus main TV channels. The interface has also improved a lot. I hope the app will still get better during the months ahead.

it's such an amazing app with well laid out stations, programmes and bulletins. Sadly it's not working with BSNL 4G network. works with all other Sims and on wifi but not on bsnl Sim. I tried different phones, changing the DNS, access point, etc but it just doesn't play any of the live streaming stations ( plays bulletins only ). live stations work sometimes on VPN, with much delay. please fix this incompatibility with bsnl Sim.

Please add the radio link in the website or provide a windows 10 store app so we can listen in computer also. I do not want to find my mobile to listen radio. if played in website its just i can keep it on and listen all day in my desktop where i don't want to check my battery or get interrupted by call in phone.please consider this. New app has improved a lot.

NewsonAir is an excellent app for listening to multiple radio stations across the country. It provides authentic news updates and important articles, all from reliable sources. The interface is clean, fast, and very user-friendly, making it easy to explore regional content. A must-have app for radio lovers and news listeners alike.

This app fails to start everytime. It gives host 500 and server error frequently. I have noticed that on morning when I start. I have necessarily delete app data and clear cache. Please find solution. I am using two Android mobiles and both gives same error. Vijay Shrawage
