App not responding
Akashwani Ratnagiri station doesn’t get connected many a times, when I put on the radio stn, early morning. The app gets disconnected frequently.
Not able to open app on Mac mini PC
App is very Good in Android Phone. But not able to open in Mac mini PC. Developer please clear this problem.
Landscape mode isn’t functional on iPad
This app doesn’t support landscape mode on iPad. Please fix
Not able to rewind
That’s a bare minimum. Please look into it
Very useful app
This app brings AIR on my finger tips and to listen to a variety of programs from all over India. The play in background option is also very useful. Hoping for more programs to be included.
Very Bad
Today is 23rd may, news bulletin shows 17th may, Sarkari system ka kya kahna? Also report to the ministry.
Problem in hourly news
App is good. Recently, I observe audio goes to mute after 10 sec or 20 sec. This happens in English hourly news.
Hangs after iOS 26
Hangs after iOS 26 App stop abruptly very frequently
Not playing when locked
Good content - app is not modern or not working when locked
Amazing
It keeps you addicted & updated all the time. From news to old & new songs to info session it’s all worth.
Crash
App crashes every now and then, very unstable version
Very good app.
In some radio channels, the volume is not as much as I would like it to be. Please try to make the volume in these channels high. Thanks.
News on AIR has become Modi news
Every now and then and after every news forced to listen to his ridiculous Bhashan this is too much. Audio recoding of Beneficiaries of so called govt Schemes are clearly scripted as if they are reading some script. Shame on National Radio
shows “ERROR”. Make catagory of economics news.
Good news app, but most of the time it shows “ERROR”. Make catagory of economics news. Fix the issue
Thank you Aakashwani
Best app to access all the channels of Aakashwani from any part of the world. ❤️ Can listen to my fav channel anytime from anywhere ❤️
The Akashvani Srinagar is not working kindly fix it
The Akashvani Srinagar is not working kindly fix it
Update of news magazine
The app is very useful and offers vivid authentic information. However, the daily news podcasts are often not updated on time.
Very Poor Performance
The volume goes down after one or two days of downloading the app.
Great app but No Kannada
Dear Akashavani, please consider Kannada language.
Make compatible with Apple TV OS
Very good and useful app. Request the developers to make the App compatible with Apple TV OS.
Surat FM
On your app Surat FM not working since so many months please fix it
App stops playing in standby mode
This App stops playing radio/TV when the iPhone is put in standby mode, which was not the case earlier.
Frequent stop
Frequently stops within 7-9 seconds. Need to fix this bug
Device Orientation Issue
1. On iPad this application works only on vertical mode so if your iPad is on horizontal mode, the app will be 90° tilted towards left. That is very odd. It should be adjusted with the orientation of the device. Please resolve this and create some widgets as well so that it can be on homepage and we do not need to every time open the application press buttons. 2. Please create a website where your live streaming can be listen of all India radio. It’s a challenging on Windows laptop, and any other laptop doesn’t support apps. There are a lot of other websites who are streaming, but they are not reliable at etc. Prasad Bharti should create a website where people can listen the live radio channels slide Vive Bharti.
Save Time
Each and Every #CitizenOfBharat Could Listen to the #NewsOnAir for Authentic and Crystal Clear News to #SaveTheTime of us. #Time=#Money
Now playing window
Now playing window when listening to market mantra doesn’t show properly on my iPhone 16 Pro. So very difficult to control playback
Nice
Nice current affairs also pls add malayalam language also
Clumsy interface
Can’t see my favorites in the ‘update’ version FAQ is still empty. No information on how to populate saved list.
Good app, can be more refined.
One of the great apps, the sections work and are neat, would be better if they could add landscape functionality and widget function for the ipad. And of course a modern looking interface would be even better. But still great!
Radio
Best app for radio lover
Issue
I am using iPhone 16 plus the app works properly for 3 days and after 3 days when I am listening to the radio it will automatically turn off and won’t work and again I should delete the app and reinstall it I am facing this problem from past when I purchased iPhone 16plus
Improved
The app has improved a lot, the sign in requirement is no longer there, live channels can be easily accessed. Home Screen is a bit overwhelming can be made more minimalistic. The app is great for all Akashvani lovers.
Radio with map feature
Previous version had great feature of displaying radio station by map. This way geographically co-located radio stations can be quickly accessed. Current feature of grouping by state require more scrolling and there is no search bar as well. Current version does not respond or load so it remain unusable. It is great app as it brings so much entertainment (in regional language) and knowledge together but require improvement.
Needs lot of improvements
Many a times radio suddenly stops playing. Have to refresh the app every now and then
Fantastic app
Very good app for listening to various radio stations. Thank you team.

મારા મોબાઇલમાં લાઇવ રેડિયો ની કોઇપણ ચેનલ ચાલતી નથી
Very good and necessary app
The app works very well, except when the usage is heavy. The app needs to work with 5G properly. Otherwise great content far from the country. ❤️♥️♥️ me Also no favorite stations allocation, necessary
Unstable app
I have been using this app for couple of months. Audio content works fine but video content doesn’t work that well. App can be improved!
No Sanskrit News..
I like everything about this app except that Sanskrit news is not available. Please make it available at the earliest.
improvement
There should be watch history option or watched videos option
Exiting this App
Earlier it was working perfect on my MacM1. I reinstalled multiple times. But still it is exiting.
Awesome app but missing “Timer”feature
I love this app as this is globally accessible. My day starts with Vividh Bharati and I sleep with it. Could you please add Timer features to auto stop the app after setting it for certain minutes? It will save battery. Thanks!

Sometime it just stuck , only solution to it is delete it and reinstall. Please fix it, as it is good initiative Thanks
