Softonic review

Free Indian music streaming app

 JioSaavn is an online music streaming service and digital distributor of music. Founded in 2007, this multimedia app has rights to over five crores (50 million) music tracks in 15 languages, including Tamil, Telugu, English, and other regional Indian languages. This app is a freemium service, meaning its basic features are free with advertisements or limitations. There is a paid subscription available if you want additional features, such as improved streaming quality, music downloads, and offline streaming. 

What JioSaavn has to offer

JioSaavn offers the best way to listen to millions of Indian songs. It has the latest collection of music across Hindi and English songs. As noted, it also features regional Indian music. The app boasts well-curated playlists, from DJ songs and love songs to Hindi sad songs, relaxing music, and Bhangra songs. There are even playlists for devotional music. On top of the playlists offered, the app also has a wide selection of podcasts and online radio that you can tune in to. 

JioSaavn offers unlimited music in its free version. Users are even allowed to create their personalized playlist. More, you can also read and sing along to the lyrics of your favorite songs, using the app’s live sync. However, since it is a free service, expect low streaming quality. To avoid these, you can subscribe to the premium version. Other features, such as MP3 download and high-quality 320kbps audio, are also limited to the paid subscription. 

More than the low streaming quality and other feature limitations, there are other drawbacks to the free service. Like Spotify, the free version also comes with advertisements. However, unlike the popular music app, the ads in JioSaavn play even in the middle of a song. It also does not have an option to close banner ads. Usability is also a bit of a problem as the app sometimes fail to play in the background. To make matters worse, the app is prone to crashing.

Good but with lots of limitations

If you are a fan of Indian music, then JioSaavn is a great option for you. The app has millions of specially curated Indian music from various languages. With this, no matter what type of song you like to hear, you can find a playlist that suits you. However, like its competitions, expect a lot of limitations in the free version.
