Summary

Users express extreme dissatisfaction with the mobile app, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads, even for subscribed users, leading many to label it 'Jio Adstar.' A significant portion of feedback criticizes content decisions regarding Bigg Boss 19, specifically the perceived unfair eviction of contestant Baseer Ali, which has prompted calls for boycotts and uninstallation. Further frustration stems from the removal of previous seasons of popular shows and other content. Many subscribers feel their paid subscriptions offer poor value, frequently experiencing ads or even inactive service, compounded by reports of app instability, including crashes and failed downloads.
