JioTV is an app which provides live access to hundreds of television shows, movies, sports events, and more.

The app has dozens of categories and genres to choose from depending on the users' preference. Users can stream any televised event in HD quality, whether it's cricket, football, tennis, or news events. Unlike DTH, users can watch the content anytime and anywhere. There are over six hundred TV channels, one hundred HD channels, and fifteen supported languages included in the app.

The languages supported by JioTV include English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil and other variations of Southeast Asian languages, making it perfect for the huge variation of dialects spoken in India and elsewhere.

Additionally, all the channels, movies, and shows are provided completely free for the viewer. There are regional shows, news, music, business, devotional segments, lifestyle, and kids entertainment available.

The user can pause and play live broadcasts at their convenience, easily find popular shows under the 'Featured' tab, and browse through top stories in the 'News' tab. Users are able to record their favorite shows and watch them at any later point. Instant rewind or forward and quality selection are also useful features. Just like other common video media apps, users can watch live television and browse the app simultaneously by merely dragging and docking the video player. JioTV works with common technologies like ChromeCast.

Most users complain not about the variety of shows, but about buggy app performance that gets in the way of fully enjoying the JioTV content. Due to a recent update, some users are unable to watch anything on the app and may need to reinstall it to get it working again. Others feel suspicious because the app requires user permissions for contacts, location, and phone storage data.

Overall, most users have had no trouble with the JioTV app ever since its initial release. JioTV provides a free, instant way to watch thousands of movies, dramas, shows, and live sports events.
