It is another budget offering from the company which can compete very well with the current offerings from the other brands.

All the apps have been very useful for all the users. In this article, I would also like to point out three specific apps which have been critically acclaimed till now with fantastic ratings on the App Stores.

Jio Play: Jio Play provides instant access to TV Programmes. The app gives you more than 300 channels which include more than 30 High Definition channels. Other than this, the app allows you to pause Live TV. This enables you never to miss a moment of any TV Show you’re watching.

Apart from this, the app also provides you with Catch-up service. You can watch and enjoy episodes from last seven days of prime time shows easily.

Given that fact that you will be using 4G unlimited on your phone for the first 90 days, JioPlay will be of amazing use. Apart from all this, you can also explore the app in multiple languages, use the app with zero disturbances, and use the Mini Player to browse the content while the player is in mini view.

Jio On Demand: Whereas Jio Play gives you access to an incredible amount of television, Jio On Demand gives you the access to a humongous collection of movies, music videos and trailers across multiple languages and genres. You should know that when I mean humongous, I mean over 1 Lakh hours of High Definition content.

The app provides you with an amazing amount of content that range from the latest releases to classics. A large amount of genres provided by the app is one of the many highlights which also include features like My Watchlist, One Tap Play, and Hyperlinked Starcast.

JioOnDemand is another fantastic app by the Jio team which let you use your 4G unlimited data to full swing and make you realize the power and benefits of the data.

Jio Beats: With the previous two apps, the developers at JIO have covered television, movies, movie trailers and numerous other types of video content. With Jio Beats, your hunger for music will be fulfilled.

JioBeats is providing millions of music tracks not only from different genres but also varying in different moods, artists, and languages. Another fascinating thing about JioBeats is that all the content available in the app is completely High Definition. All the songs, albums, playlists, as well as radio, are available for you in High Definition.

Another amazing feature of the app is that you can easily connect devices to your phone simply through the app. You can simply connect your phone to a wearable device or a Bluetooth speaker and enjoy better user experience and better quality music.

And just like all the latest apps, JioBeats learns from your usage. The more you listen, JioBeats learns more about your taste and provides you recommendations accordingly. Apart from these, you can also download the music, create playlists, listen to radio, listen to regional content (more than 20 Indian languages and international music), and apply different themes.

Overall, we see that Reliance has made an enormous impact on the market with LYF Smartphone+ and Jio. Do let us know what you think about Jio and LYF in the comments below.
