I have bought VIP pack for live broadcast of IPL. But this app shows the problem of net while matches are going on but Facebook and YouTube do not show any problem of net. All other apps work well. I have bought the VIP pack only for IPL matches but it shows that there is a problem with the net even though it is not a problem of net. But as soon as the live broadcast ends, the movie starts playing on Hotstar. It is our humble request that this problem be resolved as soon as possibly.

us Doesn't work, when it work video keep freezing while audio work fine. Mostly stuck when launch Have tried deleting data, cleaning cache, uninstall, install back, results are same all the time. Hire some good technical staff. These guys doesn't check app before uploading on g play, may be either they are not technically sound or may be they are careless. Now don't reply me by asking stupid questions like mobile make, OS version and all, better you check yourself before uploading app update,

subscription First of all, even though i am a vip member it is loaded with ads. Which is not a good experience. I know that as per terms and conditions it comes with ads but atleast if i am paying money for it! So i should get fewer ads like at the start of the video and one in between and at the end of the video. I want to watch movie seamlessly with little compromise. But this VIP pack is like sabotaging the experience and money both! And 2nd is that i get popup of retry while watching live IPL!😔

login I'm definitely going to post this on social media. Worst worst worst ever app that I have used in my life after taking a subscription. Buffering for ages for every single ball while watching a match. Why the hell do you guys cheat customer's in the name VIP/Premium service. The is for nothing. Just a waste of money. If I had the option I would even give 0 ratings....

subscription usa Worst experience because there were too many advertisements.if you want to watch any movie show or match , you have to see all of the ads.if any person want to watch anything on this app, he will be charged 400 rs one year subscription charge + too many advertisement (* watch these ads are necessary). In short the all peoblems is watch all the ads ,slow app speed , hanging problem , ads after every 5 minutes and no option to skip ads after paying 400 rs.👎

us login Disappointing... I am a paid member of hotstar and from last few days I am facing an issue with connection error when I am in my wifi(siti broadband in Kolkata). I have to switch back to mobile data (jio) than it loads up and than connecting back to wifi it works for few minutes and than issues starts. This is very frustrating and ruins the content experience. If this continues I'd rather not suggest anyone to opt for paid membership. Because one cannot enjoy contents only on mobile data.

new movies Very bad experience...I don't know what happens to this app during the last 5-6 overs of any IPL match...I think this issue persists from atleast two years as I had faced similar issues during 2018 IPL...and the most disturbing thing is that neither the customer care team ever have responded on my complaint nor the developers have shown interest to resolve this technical issue... Hope I'll get response on this review...

free trial Whenever I watch live matches on hotstar The stream runs by itself. Stops frequently starts to be buffring Whereas my network is very good and speed is more than 1mbps. hotstar needs to improve its APP. Because since only people with only vip can see live matches this has happened Watching has also reduced since then, yet the stream continues to stall.

deals hotstar was good back then when there where less ads and subscription price were less. i was a premium subscriber until then. now im a vip subscriber just to watch ipl. now a days streaming quality is poor, sometimes it buffers while watching even though i have 50Mbps connection. this doesn't happen on netflix or amazon prime video even while streaming full HD. most of the english shows which i see are available on other platforms and i pay much less.

promo code I have activated hotstar subscription VIP.. At first everything was ok.. While watching IPL.. Everything is crytal clear.. But now very very low quality I'm getting.. I can't even see playerface.. I have good network.. I changed the video quality from auto to High.. But still it is same.. At the same time I can watch movies.. Webseries in good quality.. Why IPL is blurry and low quality..

I have downloaded plenty of times this app, but it not working at all, everytime it is showing 'something went wrong' pop-up, actually I wanted to take the one year subscription to watch IPL matches. But this app is not supporting at all , I'm using brand new Samsung M21 mobile.

The new update really screwed up the hotstar experience, whenever the data speed is reduced the video is paused which is fine but when the data speed normal the video stays paused and the audio carrys on , this is really annoying and I have to refresh every time it happens to enjoy the content. Please fix this...

Worst ever policies. Received SMS for OTP login 100s times and mostly late night. Once some hacker changed his mobile for my Premium Account and I was unable to login as Password only sent to mobile rather email and password login. So some hacker used mybpaid account for so long till it was resolved by Customer Care. Why you cannot change the otp login to email+pwd combo like any other standard applications. Decided never to use this services again.

I bought VIP pack but when try to watch live ipl matches they won't play on the screen but instead of other everything plays well.. You can see the highlights of the live matches how many sixes were gone etc etc but not able to play the live match.. Fix this problem hotstar don't make me regret of wasting money on your app

Even if there is only device being used to watch an IPL match, it keeps on asking to logout from all other devices. Every single time have to logout and login. Very poor. Have been experiencing this from last few days. Never happened before. Very poor from hotstar

It's a good app. Movies, serials, etc can be easily streamed.... But there is a drawback of this app In many serials some episodes are missing What is we want to see it in order❓ This is the biggest problem that many episodes missing Please solve this issue and add all episodes without skipping Please I'm overjoyed coz after my complaint they have solved it with a day So now I'll rate it 5 Everyone must download 🥳

It is good. The only thing is that there aren't subtitles in movies. I find that really frustrating. I have reported it many a times, but there are no subtitles for some movies. Also the sound quality is also very low. The sound clarity is only there for 5 minutes in a movie. I thought it had been my problem, so I downloaded it in my tab. No use. It has a lot if movies and serials and I give it a 4 star. Please give subtitles for serials also. Cauz I don't understand hindi and want subtitles.

Worst streaming app on play store. It gets stuck even when the number of people streaming is very less. Even if you have good connection , it'll show buffering symbol. I clearly see it's backed by low configuration backend machines or poorly written code that can't handle concurrent request very efficient. Maybe you could learn from Netflix ?

Its a great app, the collection of shows and movies are also good, but not enough. I've reduced 1 star because it's features are not as good as other streaming apps, like screen on screen and skip intro features. Add those features too then it would be an perfect app

Home page does not load sometimes. HORRIBLE! The homepage doesn't load sometimes. You can't watch anything because the entire screen goes blank with no contents in it. I'm not sure if its the bug or something else. Can't even watch love IPL games. It happens often these days. It shows an error "Something went wrong. Please try again". It also buffers a lot. Very irritating. Kindly sort this issue soon.

It is one of the worst streaming platforms available. Every now and then, it shows 'something went wrong. Please try again.' Then I am to reinstall it and in the process end up loosing all my downloads. And whenever I click on some videos to see the info, it automatically starts playing which is awkward in public places. It is nothing compared to Netflix and Prime video.

Never before have I used an app which is so unstable and full of bugs, which you need to pay premium for. The contents are great, there's no doubt, but the app, it's a total disappointment. It hangs often, the UI isn't friendly, it's slow, there's no ease of use. This app needs redesign & needs to be optimized. I have no complaint except the app. The overall library is great.

Ads are annoying. I've paid for subscription and still the ads are there. What's more annoying that two adds come one after another and you can't skip them. What is the point of paying if you are bothered by ads every once in a while. The price of subscription is very decent with the VIP coming at ₹399(Previously it was 365😥) . You can watch IPL, Bundesliga, Tennis, EPL and even Formula 1.

1. Very poor interface- really really needs an improvement. For this alone I am giving you 1 star. 2. Regular buffering problem 3. Why do videos start when it is merely selected to view more details? 4. Why do we have to select video quality each time? Why can't we set a preference? Long way to go to before you even come up to the level of Amazon Prime; Netflix is a long way to go though.

Today While watching bigg boss Telugu season 4 I am getting a prompt that media services are not available on the device. But when I play IPL match it was working, without any prompt. How could that be? If one doesn't work, then others also shouldn't be working. How come one has media services and other doesn't? Every 3 days update comes and this is how you maintain things!!!.

Interface is full of bugs, When you watch a series first it didn't show you what you watched and second you need to go back and then select the next episode. And thus is very annoying. Please fix this as this bug is not resolved since over 8 months of me noticing it. Update: please fix the dismiss button on the notification. I don't follow the match on my phone.

No desktop app is a huge let down! Also once you login using mobile number, you cannot add an email id and password. Pathetic! Also, there is no way to delete the account. How convenient! Obviously, people who coded the service doesn't take customer requirements and appropriate use-cases into account

Sucks. Always buffering. Viewing shows/ movies on Android app is *always* choppy. Works better when you cast but even then not all videos can be cast (why?) and quality auto-switches to poor. On a browser, it starts to buffer and eventually gives up. You need to reload. I actually checked the network tab and most API calls remain pending *slow clap*. I'm just riding out my subscription. It's not even worth using your friends account/subscription for this one. Its like they just don't care.

Due to that i won't be able to receive otp for login. I also mentioned my email id and new phone number to that help desk section so please help to change my number . Also there is option to attach file which is not functioning not able to attach file.

Worst app ever.this doesn't deserve one star as well .I have done everything to get this in working in my phone but still it's not working like I restarted the phone multiple times, then I reinstall the application like all most 100 times and it was showing that "something went wrong..please try again later". My internet connection is very good ,because every app is working but it's not.I WOULD LOVE TO RATE THIS APP IN NEGATIVE LIKE (-1000....). BUT there is no such options🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

I have tried by logging in and out by minimum of 30 times to change name but it's not changing at all. Solve this asap so that I will purchase subscription.

The worst of OTT platforms out there. Poor quality streaming with stable high speed(100 Mbps) internet. I usually use this to watch live matches and it's the most irritating experience(Live is a myth with this app). Lots of Ads even after I paid for subscription. Becoz of the poor streaming quality, I have to restart several times and it's always start with an ad, even in between overs. If Disney doesn't want to ruin their reputation, the need to get rid of hotstar partnership.

Truly waste of money. I subscribed the premium membership on mar 2020. On May 2020 when I tried to login, the app asked for otp and it showing the mobile number which I never had. I tried to reach the customer care service, and after one month, my issue get solved. Now on Sep 2020, again I am facing the same problem and nobody is replying to my mail. As this is the IPL season, I want to use the Hotstar but due to this problem, I couldn't. I can say that I wasted my money in Hotstar.

Horrible user experience. 1. Why just dark mode. Atleast follow the system theme. It is too much strain on eyes. 2. Why autoplay video with sound on home screen. If I mute the video, close and then open the app again, it plays in full volume next time. If you want to feature something in homescreen do it without the sound or atleast respect user's choice of muting. 3. If you close app accidently while casting and reopen again, the video starts playing on phone as well as TV

At first, I gave this app 4 stars but now I am reducing it to one. I wouldn't have givrn that 1 star too if it was not necessary. This was a very good app but iy is doomed after collaborating with Disney. Now, I can't even watch free content on it on TV. I need subscription for it. This app is very bad now. End this collaboration if you want your good reviews back.

App not working properly in e-airtec smart tv. App logs in like mobile phone interface even after subscription rather than tv mode in e-airtec smart tv. Very disappointed. Please resolve ASAP. Will revise the rating to 5. Thanks in advance. Issue got resolved. Thank you for the support. As agreed revising the rating :)

Can't download movies, cannot load , no subtitles in movies and many episodes missing in many shows. What was an amazing app now has become a NIGHTMARE. All of this became like this after an update. I recommend anyone else reading this review don't waste 399Rs or 1,449Rs on this poor subscription. So don't agree with content. Ads even after VIP subscription? And if you will switch to premium, you will face ads even in IPL. Shame on you. I will switch to Amazon Prime.

As the IPL progresses the streaming is getting worse and worse. We get to see some part of the matches in between the rings. During same time Netflix in other device is working fine. Same happens when I stop all other internet usage.

I couldn't watch anything literally from 3 weeks it will be loading and loading but still doesn't play..then If at all I want to come to the home screen the screen freezes.. And you know what it's a premium account Please fix it asap 🙏

Best OTT platform ever made. Content is so good and has a huge library. Why rated 2 star ? Old UI. We need improved UI with new elements like other platforms in an organised manner. Suggestions can be improved based on what a user watch. Recommendations can be improved a lot. Team needs to work on this for betterment as only content can't make it win the race but also user experience needs to be taken care of. Thanks for reading. Hope you will work on this.

This app has the worst payment options I've ever seen. Its like they want to actively discourage subscriptions. I want to use the app, I want to pay, but they won't accept just any card, it has to meet their standards!!! And for a monthly subscription, they will not accept any other payment modes. The rest of the world has moved on people, there are 10 different payment modes on all other streaming services but hotstar is still clinging to Doordarshan standards!! Worst experience ever.

It says my password is incorrect whereas I never changed my password..also I am not receiving any emails if I give forgot pass. I even checked the spam box for mails. No emails at all! This Sooo frustrating. I have paid for my subscription and it won't work! 😤

On live cricket casting, it gets stuck sometimes and keeps loading, but without user clicking on "Go Live" it gets hanged forever. I think it should 'Go Live" automatically as we may not have phone near by always. It is very annoying when it struck and never recovers. What is the point in waiting if you can not auto recover, instead you can skip and go to live stream without user have to click "Go Live".

It used to be good but it became a dustbin since the last update. Whenever I downloaded a movie, I used to download it in medium quality. But then I thought to download it in high quality. But when I download some movies in high quality, it doesn't download saying that you have downloaded this movie once. You can't download it again. All premium/VIP movies will be downloaded once. But they are not VIP or premium at all.

The downloaded videos also do not play. Have to delete them and then either re-download and watch immediately (which if not watched even for few days, won't play later on) or watch online. Total NONSENSE with downloaded videos. And this is not a recent issue. I've faced it hundreds of times but today was my limit to hold back writing. And the best part is, developer probably doesn't even know or is too bothered to fix the issue!

Very freaky and buggy App.. Doesn't open on mobile phone even after successful registration. Flashes wierd messages 'You are Traveling' or 'Allow to update location' though the location/ GPS is on and updated in Google Maps, Weather and other apps, and to top it all-- There is something wrong. Please try later. Not expected from a big name like Disney+ Hotstar

Match Video gets stucked after every 2-3 minutes, while audio continues in background of stucked video. One has to wait for a minute to appear an icon of "Go live", then after touching on "Go live", match video gets resumed. Please add "Refresh" option for such -stucked video- problem. Too much buffering. It spoils enjoyment of every IPL match. I can't watch any match because of buffering every 10 seconds and have to compromise by watching Highlights only. Do something yaar...

Thanks for the update about the subtitles a big relief but there is a lot of buffer(my net speed is 50mbps) and get's difficult to watch any kind of series or movies, as of today IPL without buffer. in the current situation everyone's using internet from home due to wfh. please make video more compatible. had this issue with Netflix or Prime very rarely. hopefully this will be considered.

Issues that most of the users are waiting since ages to be fixed in this App : 1. poor live video streaming quality 2. too much buffering 3. super heavy and laggy - hangs & freezes a lot 4. eats huge chunks of mobile data. 5. payment page gets stuck forever - can't even able to enter the details. Acquisition by Disney only increased the old stuff & content with higher subscriptions charges and long unskippable Ads!

Plus side of the app is the live streams that is does. Hence the one star plus. I am jiotv user that directs me to hotstar for f1 live content streaming. While I am redirected, if the app has an update available ot forces me to update. I can understand sometimes it might be a must to have an update but everytime forcing to update is a bad user experience. Hope hoststar gets better at this or fixes this. For this minus 2 stars. Content wise need a lot of improvemnt hence one minus there.

Everything is ok but downloaded movies are not playing any more. We have to delete them and redownload them. Any my problem is that there are only two seasons of the ultimate spiderman series available in the app. But there are total 4 seasons. Where are the next two seasons? Please consider this as my request and add those seasons as soon as possible. I request all marvel lovers to hit the yes button to vote me. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

They removed many shows. I loved 1 show. It was there on hotstar since 2014 . A few months before also it was there. Now when I thought of watching the rest the show is missing. I emailed hotstar and they told due to music copyrights issue they removed. I don't understand why they didn't remove it before. It was viewable for the past 6 years then what is the use of removing now.

Too many issues yet to be fixed. Live streams like IPL hangs frequently and then auto seeks to keep up with live stream, I have missed many good moments of matches due to this. There is no seek option to replay these moments for live streams. Also, no PIP mode for the app yet which was introduced in Android 8. This product is not worth considering the premium subscription amount its charging.

Terrible experience. I have the fastest mobile internet connection available in the country and every single one of my apps works blazing fast with it....... except hotstar. It has become unbearable since the Disney update. Takes a painfully long time to load live sports, ads buffer as well, video freezes mid stream, stream suddenly goes 3 seconds behind outta thin air, video quality keeps dropping even when set on high, "Report an Issue" feature in the app is useless. Heavy improvements needed.

I think it has become worst aap now since it's is charging money for the subscription after that also it's services are very poor ,pathetic , worst .. if they can't provide good service why do they charnge any money for subscription ... Can't enjoy any live match😡😡😠😠

2020-09-21T17:26:34.660Z
I think now it's a time to uninstall the app. They just need a money not a user's. Without users they won't get money. Some are not in subscription but from them the Hotstar getting money via adds , then why the hell asking for subscription. Without subscription there are 💯 million users , if you do like this without subscription no IPL matches view in Hotstar, then all will uninstall the app, and your app don't get the users, and it will be deleted from the playstore.

I'm facing issue to watch IPL live streaming apart from that everything else is working even premier league is streaming Live. I'm trying to get in touch with some support from yesterday but I'm not getting any help. I don't have any VPN in the phone nor any proxy. I tried to get an help from ISP even they can't understand the issue, they are asking to contact hotstar. I'm just going around and around in circles

What the hell is this!! First of all sound and video quality is not good!! And video quality is such a trash.... It's so blurry. And secondly some episodes are missing from the middle of a serial(kasauti zindagi kay S1)... Episode is missing and that is the reason I m unable to catch the next episode because I haven't seen the previous one!!! Hope you will do something sort out this issue. And yes upto which I have seen episode- 29, 60 or 61, 82 or 81 are missing

Worst app ever. It does keep on buffering and then automatically switched to next video without playing first and then again start buffering. . It repeat this process. . I am not able to see any video due to this issue. . There is no network issue as Youtube , prime all I can access parallerly with same connection. . Please fix this issue. I am facing it after the latest update.

If I already registered for annual pack so why every time when I open the app, always ask to recharge for a premium pack. That premium pack advertising page has no exit option. Once I close your app, and repoen app after that my shows goes to start. I'm not happy for your service. Improve it ,if customer already registered then why you asking for next level (premium) pack. If we want to purchase premium pack than we update our pack.

Everytime I try to cast it on to Chromecast or any smart TV the video freezes after a while. It's quite annoying. I've never seen this happen with Netflix or prime. Please fix this issue at the earliest. You are charging your customers a decent amount the least you can do is provide a stable service.

This app never works. Lot's of buffering and loading even when low quality video also when there is full network. All other apps works like prime, Netflix, YouTube but this doesn't. At first only advertisements works properly but now that also start buffering and there are lots of advertisements. Many times I tried to clear cache,storage, logout account, uninstall then install, switch off device,reset APN, reset network settings, flight mode still it doesn't work.

Underwhelmed 😓 Quite recently subscribed to Premium. The streaming quality while casting to my Smart TV is not even below par it's just bad. I'm not even able to set the quality to high while casting. It's fine while watching on mobile btw. I'd love to give a five star rating based on the content that is available. But it's of no use to me if I can't cast it to my TV in HQ. please please please see if there's something that can be done about it.

Yes it is a good app.But there a problem that some of the episodes or scenes are missing here.we. Sometimes the grand finale of some reality shows are missing...so pls give a little attention here ...make a solution of that...because those who love to see shows and are unable to see in television they only use hotstar... Please take a look at this🙏🏻,.we shows lover don't appreciate to miss any episode or scene..

Daily updates make it annoying, No video quality selection options. Huge internet data consuming app. It could not cast from my android phone to television by Amazon fire stick. Limited hindi dubbed movies. Hotstar should add hindi dubbed korean and different countries series and movies. I am very disappointed as a premium member of hotstar.

2020-10-09T07:51:01.585Z
I was a premium user for last year. These guys has increased the price ridiculously for yearly premium. So I stepped down to VIP tier. But, it shows ads. What's the purpose of having membership when you force users to view the ads? Ads should be only in the free version. A big thumb down to the horrible level of greedy DNA that you have demonstrated. You should only separate app content based on VIP or Premium tiers. Ads should not be there for users who has active subscription.

I have paid for hot star VIP.. I have good wifi connection. Each and every update application have some issue. Today bigboss not loading. Same time ipl live streaming fine. Again I tried bigboss it is not at all loading. Don't pay for VIP anyway some issue will come wait and watch tomorrow.. Always blocking bugs are there..

2020-10-03T12:39:30.774Z
the picture quality is very good which generally depends on your network connectivity even though i have set the 720p or 144p, after update i am suffering from a bug which is happening in every match.. though i have very good internet connectivity, verious sceans are repeating itself after 2 or 3 seconds.. it is so irritating i hope hotstar will be updated soon..
Devasish Pandey
2020-09-23T17:51:23.596Z
So much of disappointment with the app. Specially while watching live matches. The screen stops suddenly but sound runs in background from few seconds back and suddenly it skip the match for a few seconds. Live stream suddenly stops even if i have proper net speed and it shows to buy a VIP or a Primium plan although i have activated VIP plan. Please look after it.

Some peoples think its a app where we see live news or sports . but when we download the app and want to see the matches live its messages you have to recharge 399 rupees and get the vip version for 28 days . but on the adds they inform that now you see all the matches or news live on free. I think it will take the mobile data extra and told , have to recharge and waste our money

Why hotstar is not even opening when I am using WiFi after my Airtel internet pack is over ? What's this ?? Other apps are running fine with wifi. It's showing "Something went wrong. Please try again later".. what the hell is this ?😡😠 Do I have to recharge a data pack, even if I will use the WiFi..?? Please resolve this issue.. How many ways you think you will restrict to use this app.. This is not good.

I bought the VIP pack , i know its a cheap one but still im freaking tired of too much ads. On a single movie i get ads every 10-13 minutes. Every 10-13 Minutes !!! I use the app for movies/shows not for ads ! Atleast lower the number , nobody want be interupted that many times. If not then just remove the VIP pack , it just feel like free version anyway.

The most pathetic OTT platform. Not able to login into my account even after trying for multiple times. Also, they always ask to update their app now and then but still aren't able to fix a single damn bug or error. There should be an option to rate this app less than 1 but sadly there ain't one. Fix your issues and try to provide a decent app atleast for the users.

I updated it today in the afternoon and since I've not been able to see a single episode of any show it just keep on buffering and buffering and buffering. At the speed of 200ks . Utter nonsense it has become now and if it starts then the sound of adds keeps on continuing in background even after it's over and the show has started.

Useless apps , horrible , and needless , if you' want money to show Tv shows , then why are you open this apps just close it , first of all we have see all ads second you want subscribe money , why , it is not enough that we using our Mobile net MB to watch your Tv shows , stop all this rubbish policy , Be gentle and open the show freely .

But I like the app Because telugu, English all gerners and entertainment also can see here that's why I like the app . Thank you Hotstar thank you very much

2020-10-03T13:25:49.446Z
It is worst, the content is very limited in VIP subscription. Only IPL is given that is good. There are few Tamil Hits but that too in its original sound no hindi dub. There is very less difference between Hotstar free and Hotstar VIP subscription only IPL is added feature. So it is waste of money matters. So VIP subscription is bad, this much of content I can get anywhere else very easily and that too free.

2020-10-06T08:30:59.666Z
Worst application to watch any movie or series. Last option for me to look for a movie as there are too many ads, you guys need to do some research on your competitors. For clearance just watch "stanley ka dabba", there are more than 30 ads of 20 seconds each in the middle of 1.5 hour movie. Are you guys really serious?

I have taken a yearly membership to see the desired Videos not to see your adds. Too many adds while watching video. It's frustrating. I will cancel and suggest all people not to buy membership. Please remove adds from your app. People are paying there money to see videos without interruptio not your adds. Keep this in mind.

All the matches are playing with a significant lag as compared to the TV. And I have seen this happen both in EPL and IPL. It's more than 30 secs in case of EPL. If this is the service you are giving to your Premium customer then why the hell are you charging so much??Please look into this matter,its so annoying.

2020-09-25T17:44:55.619Z
Advertisements are killing the desire to watch the actual content ! Please enable split app option on your app. Everytime we open the app, an add is getting played..It is really frustrating when we open an other app and come back here. Also, please provide minimise option inside the hotstar app to browse the content while watching a movie or an event like IPL.

2020-10-07T18:43:52.391Z
Too worst.. We can't watch a thing peacefully why there are so many ads literally I'm very much afraid to see anything . It horrifies me alot when I think abt ads. For every 5-10 mins there will be two ads showing up unfortunately if we skip anything that makes us bore or something else three ads showing up what are you guys up-to. There is no chat spprt to complain or to solve queries . It's ridiculous please reduce ads... We got fed up by those. This is a sincere request from many of us

Worst experience They taking money for subscription but showing so many ads. I understand the ad in live match but i while watching a movie or a show i cannot bear 2 full unskipable ads of 2 min . it is ruining the whole experience of watching. So my advice is that guys stay clear of taking subscription of this app.

It is a very frustrating app.It doesn't get update in android tablets and have so much of time consumping ads ,it have 2-3 ads continously and when I use WIFI also it shows no internet connection or works very slowly .And the biggest problem is its developer never responds after several feedbacks or reviews and also not try to solve the issues. I will say if there is any zero or -1star ratijg on play store orI will give it .

But now again application is asking me to recharge for the same pack to watch IPL matches n to watch movies !!!! Had even shared this complaint on application and shared my trasaction ID and Screenshot of transaction, still it is not working . This application is a scammer do not subscribe or install it !!!

2020-09-27T06:00:44.540Z
The worst app ever I used. Out of all other apps like Netflix, Prime, Zee5, AltBalaji, MxPlayer this app's performance is devastatingly bad. On most of the occasions it shows 'Something went wrong try again after some time'. For no reason it will say you "You may be travelling and please restart". Sometimes it logs you out automatically and you are unable to log in and even if you uninstall and reinstall the app still the problem will persist. No wonder people are giving it low ratings.

Such a worst app it doesn't even deserve one star. I have taken VIP subscription to watch IPL and it is taking too much of time to load a video and start it, if you close the app accidentally and to see the video again it takes 10 mins of time to load(even though internet is good). I recommend not to take subscription or anything in this. I don't understand why app is loading a advertisement first when opening any video in it, it is consuming so much of time, please improve the user experience

You have increased your subscription after merging with Disney plus. But it is of not much use. Original Disney plus regularly uploads new contents which are not included in Hotstar. On the contrary, you have removed many old contents. There are only a lot of old Disney movies but no Disney shows except Hannah Montana and Suite Life and even those are not complete. What's the use of upgrading to Disney plus and increasing the rate to 1500?

What are you developing new, you already have problems in the live app. 1. Download works very poorly. 2. Notification bar dismiss option doesn't work. 3. I have premium and still two people cant see at one time. 4. It forgets what i was watching. It really did, sigh! Why should i keep my plan??

2020-09-27T17:24:33.640Z
The app is good but it would be even better if it had a seperate section for movies ,tv shows with its own language and genre like other apps. Now there are only genre and language option and it opens up every thing movies and tv shows it would be much better to have a movie, tv show & web series select option in the language and genre section and please include more genre options to improve user experience.If you need any help and contact me

Anita Fernandes
2020-09-27T16:52:04.522Z
The word to describe worse than bad is 'Novi Digital' connection error on TV doesn't pair at all after it has fumbled with logins. I think I am not going to renew my subscription of Hotstar anymore. If a small bug cannot be fixed even after a year is utter disgrace or just Novi Digital. THE BUG IS YOU TRY TO GET LOCATION USING SIM BUT YOU SEE, ANDROID TV DOESN'T HAVE ONE. Anyways Amazon's Prime>>not so Hotstar

2020-10-07T21:43:13.773Z
SAME AS BEFORE. SEE RATINGS. Despite updating & upgrading UI, there's nothing better with new coming. Data consumption is way too high, CHROME CAST DOESN'T WORK ,always buffering never plays properly. Thousands of ways to embezzle money but zero ways to provide customer service. If download to watch offline, chances are u can't. Most Disney+ shows or movies arent dubbed like Netflix does. ADS, ADS & ADS. I won't be renewing my premium subscription until app doesn't work accordingly.

Although it's a very good catalog, you can't enjoy it. The experience is an absolute disaster. I can't play anything even with a good broadband connection. I have the VIP subscription. Looks like their servers are ALWAYS overloaded. Tl;dr: Go spend your money somewhere else.

Something always goes wrong with this app. I'm unable to watch anything since a week. Everytime it's showing something went wrong. What's the use of paying for the subscription then. I have tried opening on other devices too but it's the same. It needs to be improved a lot.

What the hell.. the app's been hanging, showing rotating sign, since 30 mins.. even after setting the speed to Low, and while my conn speed is 15 Mbps. Really frustrating and irritating.. I have been a really unhappy and harassed customer till now, may it be cheating on Ads, forcing me to subscribe twice, very high subscr fee, poor service, etc.. unlike any other OTT services till date. Shey...
Aditya Zalke
2020-10-04T20:01:20.527Z
The app won't load. Other apps are working fine. That means it's not the internet problem. I have missed many live matches. Whenever I start the app it just go on loading and won't open at all! It was working fine at least before subscribing to the VIP! Now it's not working at all!

2020-10-02T17:56:08.120Z
Ever since Disney took over Hotstar.. The app is terrible. I have subscribed to vip plan and it freezes every time I'm watching a live match.. I found an alternative third party app which streams live matches for free which works absolutely fine without inconvenience.. I'm not going to renewal your subscription again.. Good bye!!!!

What the hell is wrong with hotstar today? It just isn't playing the content consistently at all. Keeps buffering and stopping everytime with a message that says unable to playback (NM-4030). I have a superfast internet and am getting a speed of over 200MBPS right now. I am able to play everything but live cricket match. Completed the troubleshooting by clearing cache and data and turning off my fire stick device, login again and same result. Uninstall and reinstall doesn't work either.

I have been using Hotstar on my Mobile and the experience was good. Recently I subscribed to the Premium pack of Hotstar from my Mobile App , but was surprised to see that I could not access it from my Jio fibre TV connection . Even the response from their hello email id has not been encouraging. So I guess I stand to lose my money if I cancel the subscription now. Good experience turned to bad experience. Hope Hotstar is able to solve my issue

What is the problem with this app, when I go to see highlights of match it automatically skips to next video after few seconds when the video I want to watch is taking time to play due to bad network, revert it back or I will cancel my subscription, very bad product manager you have replace them, realise your mistake guys, I can practically stay on app and it will scroll down the complete list automatically without actually playing any video
Abhishek Katti
2020-09-24T05:34:55.193Z
It get stuck while watching a video and between the live matches. Sometimes it automatically throw back to my home screen. Also the suggestions of this is very bad, suppose i search any international match like ind vs aus, they shows me a domestic matches like ipl. I totally disappointed to this and it gives very bad experience to me...

2020-10-04T17:12:34.522Z
This is the worst App I have ever seen, because when we see other streaming apps they support 4k like Amazon prime, Netflix, Hulu. This app only supports 1080p even if we have an annual subscription of ₹ 1499. It has only selected content which supports Dolby. Even after charging 1499 you guys are giving the best. This is not worthy.
Shashwat Shrivastava
2020-09-30T18:34:28.635Z
Need major improvements! It's so frustrating to watch in anything on this app! It plays videos on 144p even when you have set to quality to high or medium, doesn't take your command! Can't enjoy movies like that! And when somehow it allows you to watch on better quality, the data consumption is so damn high that you will end up finishing you 30GB per month pack in just 2-3 days! Faced no such issues on Prime or Netflix..

Pls see the matter and fix it If you don't see the matter importantly so we all will report this app and banned it from play store and others, so it is better to see it importantly.

I have Amazon Prime video and Netflix and this is the shittiest app ever. VIP members can't even watch the movies in English..You have to be a premium member to watch the English movies in English. Really??? Had to watch Avengers Endgame in Hindi and it sucks. And they just won't accept any cards for payment. Not even SBI platinum cards. It has the worst payment options ever. If possible, I'd give this app negative 5 stars

2020-09-24T15:55:28.633Z
Worst app let me tell you why.. third class ads popping always you guys can never beat Netflix or prime for this reason. Sort that out ad is not a problem the worst is the screen gets stuck while playing due to which need to restart the whole video. I'm a premium member and this is the level of service they give for people who purchase their services. No need of so many ads

2020-10-08T14:58:08.847Z
After every update of the App, the App doesn't open for 3 plus hours. It simply asks to please try again later. Also says to restart the app stating that I have travelled somewhere and location is changed. Kindly fix these issues. The application doesn't look like user friendly since all the shows are jumbled.

Hey, whenever I watch IPL through my tata sky app, it redirects me to hotstar app. But when the stream runs it is terribly laggy and buffering at sometime. But when ever i try to run the stream through Tata sky app from any other device the stream is smooth no lags. Note : whenever i open the hotstar app(without Tata sky) the stream just run fine without any lag or buffering) it lags only when I open hotstar through Tata sky link. My device name - oneplus 3 & I don't have any Internet iss

There is no option to customize what I like to watch to be there on top of my dashboard. Always some uninteresting stuff on top and notifications for Cricket which I never watch. I have been using this to watch EPL. Worst part is I have no option and hence use this app. Everytime I have to search for my match and then watch while random stuffs keep appearing on top. Live with this.

The only reason I had to install and subscribe this app was hbo content. No other ott in india provides it, hotstar's interface sucks, at times videos don't even play and app has to be reinstalled again. Whenever you search something, you hardly get information on what you are looking for, but app displays tons of daily news content. I hope hbo and disney come up with their own ott in india and put an end to this non-sense stupid app.

Consuming too much of data even with "low quality" setting. When you have high speed of Mobile data and the settings being changed as "low quality", still the data consumption is same. The "low quality" is not working properly and taking almost 800-1024 MB of data per hour which is too worst.

Too many adds. One simply can't watch a show peacefully without being bombarded by loads of ads. When a user has paid for the subscription, I don't see the need to push ads - that too every five minutes. YouTube can show ads as it's free. Paying to get ads is plain horrendous. Please stop this.

80% of the times videos won't load for whatever reason. I use this only for the a Premiere League, and that is what doesn't work, so what am I paying for? The new UI and related videos and auto playlists are also very counter intuitive and plain stupid at times. Just clunky and unimpressive overall. Sad to see what Hotstar has become.

When we are scrolling the video forward, it shows the remaining time but it always shows the time we have spent on thr right. It's totally confusing when we are scrolling. Please maintain a uniform time. Wish it had a thumbnail of the video being scrolled like in Netflix

This year it really bad in loading and I have been using only to watch ipl but the app is not even opening and I have tried uninstall and install and even tried to use in another app but there is no help. Need app team to check on this. And it's a pain to recharge anymore and I have been using last 3yrs never faced issue. But this time it really Pain.

Hotstar don't have the option to choose the video streaming quality in their mobile app and TV app, this option would help user use network data optimally. Hence I raised the issue on mobile app, explained the issue in simple English, they responded back to the ticket with big to do list, which no customer would be doing it. Really annoyed to see the reply.

I use the app to watch IPL matches. The app always stops responding after some time. Mostly because of the ads inserted. It's so obvious and it happens all the time. Now I have activated my cable tv just to watch IPL because it's not watchable on Hotstar.

Im a VIP subscriber, app does not play properly in 20:9 ratio, im using Samsung M51 and it trims the score board when used in full screen mode, also too many advts. No pip support. Video player does not have any option to select video format and screen casting does not work. Overall a very bad app in terms of viewing experience. Please include 20:9 full screen support asap.

1. I paid for Hotstar VIP subscription? But when I try to open IPL match then at beginning it shows advertisement which waste precious game times. I have no complaint gor advertisement in between overs but in beginning of playing the match the advertisement is very very bad. 2. It doesn't show over counting in IPL matches. Which is not good.

I have taken membership using my phone number. That was working fine for 4months. But now suddenly I have been asked to restart the app and then it is showing that I have changed my location and not getting option to login through phone number. I have tried in other devices but same issue. And the help number or email id is not working as well. Please resolve it asap.

It is bad as it does not allow more than two devices to login at the same time and dosent even give the option to buy more expensive plan to support more than 2 devices like pri. And every time it asks for an OTP but sometimes you don't uave your phone or u are in another's house and you want to login to hotstar and it's impossible. Not every body carries their phone everywhere they travel this feature shoul be removed and user should be able through facebook as it is also a safe medium to login

Feature wise Ok Ok: Few Suggestions 1. While playing on Hotstar TV app, we should be able to control video time, quality from mobile app. Its easy to control from phone than tv remote. 2. While playing on TV app and suddenly power goes down, video progress is not saved, it can save in local tv cache and resumed.

So far my experience with this Platform is fine but need the below features for better experience: 1)Please add screencast option in App to play the same in Smart tv. 2)Also the Video quality changes even after fixed to high quality after completing episode/movie. 3)Adding option to edit account/profile details to user will be an appreciating thing.

This application is just fraudulent. I had purchased hotstar subscription along with the jio package, no use almost everything was paid, then i started watching a show and the next day they made it premium which means i had to pay extra 299/- per month!! I then logged out, and tried watching it , i could watch the show even without an account!!!! Please dont try to cheat or outsmart us!! Horrible experience

If you want English content, never buy vip subscription. It will give you just so called dubbed content on Hollywood movies, and even if you want to upgrade to premium there is option not available for android phone users. Because only iPhone user can upgrade to premium, then why don't you tell it before??? Why would I use a dumb iPhone and waste more money? Meh! Totally disappointed with thos application.

Not having proper and interesting movies,series or shows ...even for sports we have to wait for loading instead using of using wifi and also while watching ipl video was stopped and says to upgrade the plan to vip to premium...already in vip I can watch ipl then y the hell I should pay for it ...but due to match I have to pay and the result was pathetic..worst worst worst....one request to u HOTSTAR learn something from NETFLIX and AMAZON PRIME.

5 minute free trial was OK. But when I subscribed this hotstar and after that during the time when I watch live IPL matches it stucks and buffers a lot.even when the internet is too good. I wasted my money on this seriously.

3 stars for only one problem, There is no Data Saver Mode. We have to change the resolution every time at video starts.......Why every time i have to change, please use one time setting like Amazon Prime Video and Netflix 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Its a genuine review, please check and update the settings.

After paying for premium haven't watched a single ipl match without any lag or screen freezing soo many times. Don't expect to pay 1500rs and not enjoying a match properly. When it was just hotstar it was much better at least i was able to enjoy a complete match experience without any issues

After I had paid VIP subscription and I have to watch their advertisement for each and every show or episode or live match or movie's. Then why I have to pay for them(hotstar). In 30 min video I have to watch their advertisement around 3 min. Now I'm thinking why I'm purchased their VIP subscription. Waste of time and money.

Why is there no muntiple user profile option? Have to disable subtitles for every single episode and movie everytime. No sink with chromecast. Not the best streaming app. Background downloading takes forever compares to other streaming services. No profiles or settings options. Search results are terrible. Can't chromecast trailers

1.)There is no payment options from debit card other than those 3 banks(icici, canara and one other). And for using SBI debit card they force us to buy yearly membership. Monthly subscription is not there for other cards like SBI. Same with PAYTM, wallet payment is only allowed when you buy a yearly membership. 2.) It consumes a lot of internet data, a 20 minutes exhausted my 1.5 GB data even when i lowered the video quality to low.

The app is giving me hard time, it is not playing content as soon as I open it on my tv it gives please check your internet connection and try again. MN-1004 while the other apps are working perfectly fine. I am not able to view any content and this is a very frustrating user experience.

Despite 4G connections, this app takes forever to play a video. Whereas, if I stream at Netflix or Prime through the same 4G network, the quality is amazing. Those apps have better streaming quality. Hotstar is slow and at the same time inefficient with respect to the video quality.

I would give it a 5 but due to the absence of skip recap and skip intro option i had to give 4. Please add this option no one wants to see recap or intro when they are watching episodes back to back. Its a humble request, I've been waiting for this option to appear for a very long time. Thank you

Why i am really disappointed for this app is : 1) There so many low rated movie which also need premium membership 2) lot of movies and show are in premium membership more than 80% 3) Even if you take VIP membership you need to watch boring advertisments 4) There is a very little entertaining stuff in VIP 5) VIP include mostly old movies only. That's why i decided i will never choose VIP+hotstar pack next time if they don't do any progress in there app containt..

I took the subscription to watch ipl still it getw paused at low qulaity even though my internet quality is capable of streaming HD content. What a rubbish app. I have tried ot with several net connection but it still is not olayung properly , what is the use of paying a premium when you have to watch the match on jio tv . Seriously very disappointed.
