I am using Prasar Bharati's services after a lot of time. I used it when I used Radio and now we have it as app mode which connects us to our local area 24*7 no matter where we are. Thanks a lot to the Prasar Bharati Team.
This is very nice app. But it crashes sometimes. I generally listen to radio channels. It would be really helpful if we can publish the listof all the programs and their timings. It is kind of hard to remember the routine of multiple channels and tune to them. Thus a schedule of daily programs would be really helpful.
it consumes a very little data, approximately 30MB in one hour. No ads in between. clear music and clean language of RJs, Rain bow channels are just amazing besides Air channels.Great choice for FM lovers, covers important news across the globe and less focus on regional news,this area has to be improved. there must be an option for the regional news to read. overall very useful and I'm enjoying it
Summarize
Built by India’s public broadcaster, NewsOnAir gathers All India Radio, Doordarshan, news, podcasts, and regional programming in one Android app. Its defining strength is reach: more than 230 live radio channels cover India’s major regional languages, alongside national television streams and on-demand reports.
