Hotstar for Android
I had given so low stars because during the india v/s match they cut the option of "5 min late streaming" service and they do because its a t20 game and during sri lanka starting batting are good, so they want to get money very easily. This app maker is so greedy.
You guys really need to work on Premier League streaming. It's not the first time I'm having this issue. Every time I try to watch a live football game (though I have a great network connection), the app just won't start playing. It's seriously annoying. Please fix this as there's no other way I can watch PL. Fix this asap.
It is a very useless app. I was not able to watch live matches and some of my favourite programs. I was unable to watch it on YouTube so thought of installing this . It is more useless than YouTube. It has alot of adds and buffering is though never ending. I wad not able to watch anything since i have installed it . I had good reviews about it, but after downloading it changed. Very useless and stupid app. As someone said it should have been ADDSTAR instead of HOTSTAR.
I donwloaded judwa 2 on my mobile medium quality. Two times after 879 mb download the app says error. And it starts downloading again.my precious Data was wasted along with time. Had issues earlier too but this was the most bad experience ever with Hotstar
I took a premium of 1 yr to njy movies at highest quality. And look at them, in spite of repeated emails, they are not fixing the audio issues. 2018 is just a day away and they are providing us 2.0 audio quality which was present in early 2000. Upgrade urself hotstar team, learn from ur competitors Netflix n amazon which gives Dolby 5.1 sound system. If not, then atleast learn from ditto tv app which charges just 20rs/month and gives Dolby surround sound.
What has happened to hotstar? Stopped broadcasting Ashes this year! Not even Big Bash league like last time? There's really no point showing one sided affairs btw NZ and WI if number of broadcasts at a time is an issue
Pretty good content selection, worth the price of premium. However the Chromecast integration has some issues and needs me to manually connect again for every episode. Could also gain by having a few features from competitors like autoplaying next episode and allowing you to queue content.
This app worked as a charm in the previous versions, but I am not sure why and how it has degraded. While GOT was on, I went for the premium subscription and would cast it on my TV using Chromecast. Video quality was satisfactory without any lags. After 2-3 months, I again went for the premium subscription, but things have changed drastically. I experience a lot of lag while casting videos on my TV, plus I hardly notice HD quality video on my TV using Chromecast. The video looks like SD quality and playback suffers lag as well. With a 25Mbps speed, when YouTube and HooQ output amazing casting quality, I believe Hotstar needs some work here. The video quality (casting via Chromecast) on the same broadband connection appears far superior on YouTube, HooQ, AltBalaji etc. Please do something about this, or else premium customers may find alternatives here. Not to forget Netflix rocketing into the Indian market which also has casting abilities.
Many adds which is irritating . Honestly I don't get the idea behind showing soo many adds . It's stupid because everyone ignores the adds and why ain't old movies are not free? Atleast provide some good facility which gives a meaning to download this app
I like the content available here but please why the hell i can't save any good movie or series offline. It's bad. Please allow to save offline videos. We don't always have the fast internet connection. I am a premium member of hotstar. Fix this please.
Not sure what's wrong but after last update nothing is working. Video plays for 10 secs or so and then buffering circle just keeps circling. No matter which show which episode I try to watch. Completely useless right now. Thank God I did not buy premium on this.
It displays HOTSTAR IS NOT RESPONDING every after 10 to 15 minutes and when we download episodes offline its upto finishing and then suddenly it display that stupid words HOTSTAR IS NOT RESPONDING uselessss....and download it again from starting. Worst worst worst..
It was okay before the last update. Now its absolutely not working. I am giving it one star bcoz of this. Buffering is on for hours. First it went on for 15 sec then again buffering. I already cleared cached files but still its the same problem. Plz plz plz fix it . I just want to njy my fav shows like b4.
It is becoming worst day by day. An only benefit is that the show will be telecasted here before it is telecasted on tv. But it's better to watch it on tv only. No matter how speed the Internet is, still it buffers continuously. And the most important thing is we watch stupid advertisements more than the show. If you don't improve all these, it will be uninstalled from every phone very soon! Mind it
Pathetic. I can't watch anything. Everytime it's showing that loading sign and even after so much of waiting what I get if connection error whereas there are no connection issues as I am able to see videos on YouTube.
UI design is junk. They only show popular things only. It's like a big brother looking over the shoulder. If we want to see all the listings under a category it's impossible. They decide what is popular and show only that. Latest additions to any category is not shown. Home tab is generic and not personalized. Do all these changes in fire TV app too. Have mailed all these stuff already. No response yet.
I took premium membership today and the first day itself the videos are not streaming. What the hell you people are doing? Looting money from the people? Hated it. I cleared cache and still the same. There no problem with my device. The problem is your app. Dont give me the same reply as you people usally do saying clear cache blah blah...
Worst app! Doesn't work at all!!! Even when the network is full videos don't stream! Neither live match nor any show! Wonder why did they even make an app when it was not meant work! Everything stops after few seconds, so irritating!
I am not able to watch any star plus program. I am a Jio user and when I took the Jio sim it was told to me that I will be able to see the star plus programs without premium subscription and I use to watch it also then why is it that I am not able to watch the programs today. Please look into the matter as soon as possible. I can't watch a single program
It deserves to get 1 rating not 4.3. Whatever be the content, they are not going to solve slower and freezing streaming problem. Think they are media behomoth and they want us to believe that they still cannot solve this problem. The problem is not with data speed, but with application. I hope the problem persists also in the paid version also.
Staggeringly badly designed app. No sync for the account if you also view on another device. On a fantastic connection, keeps buffering regularly (is the only app to do so). Cataloging is so bad it seems deliberate! Finding content is made unnecessarily difficult! This, coming from a premium subscriber as the content is great! But this is a review for the app.
App is good but i am not able to watch the live premier league matches on the mobile app. I can view them on website but on app everytime it displays "something went wrong". It is frustrating when you want to see the matches on the go. Please rectify this error. Thanks
It's a good app I can watch my shows if I am unable to look it at television. After all it's a good app, but it doesn't work in my computer clearly. So that we have to watch the delay that is 5 min late.
What can I say about this..am speechless..but I love to say that this app is best for everyone..it provide every entertainment which people wants to see.its remove the hindrance of time..and can do important work even though your best TV programme are running out..so I think this is only app which provide bufferless video.. I'm loving it
Disappointed! I watch a show because its my liking towards it and just after completing the show duration, hotstar switches to any other show by automatic. Why? No asking, nothing. I disliked it.
Excellent app for sports fan. Especially for the people who don't get enough time in home. Also hope introducing GOT will bring down the piracy. :D
If i'm paying for the premium version , then why can't I download the videos/movies within the app? Its much better in Netflix and Amazon Prime, there I can easily download the movies in the app and can watch them later! Hotstar should change this annoying setting.
This app is not useful for watching shows. Unreliable app. It won't work at times, even though the users has good internet connection. Stupid app. 19th century app
Facing following problems even in 20 Mbps broadband connection; (1) 3 to 4 attempts required to watch any video. Doesn't start in single attempt. (2) Poor playback. Hangs after few minutes of play. Requires application restart to resume/play another video (3) Fast forward step is only10 seconds. Additional 30 sec and 1 min buttons required. (4) fast forwarding is not as smooth as other apps are providing. 10 secs of fast forward requires almost 5 to 6 seconds in 20mbps broadband connection. Too poooor. Not at all useful. (5) application startup time is more.... Hope that these problems will be rectified soon.
Why have u ppl disabled download button for sarabhai vs sarabhai episodes? That was one great show i loved n i can't watch it now without draining my data every time
Nice app.... but we cn watch live match only for 15 after tht have to pay money what is this rubbish thing u have started nw plz fix it
I don't wish to give even 1 star. You should be ashamed of yourself that you ask people to buy premium or else watch cricket matches 5 mins delayed. Sony LiV has provided El- Classico match live streaming for absolutely free.. learn some ethics from them
I luv watching serial on hotstar... it's great bt hate those adds cm in between my serial... very irritating.. Its best I switch of my data and watch my fav serials peacefully.
Sony liv is way better because they stream Live with no sign up for El Classico too... Hate hotstar #20skip left another data mining app
Worthless to have this app...It doesn't load properly and takes too much time to load... took 5mins to load and play. I was using 90mbps broadband speed
The download feature is no good. Half the downloaded videos do not even play, when offline. Hotstar needs to rectify this immediately.
