All India Radio (AIR Aka Aakashvani) App For Android - Download Available
India's favorite, 83 year old radio station, All India Radio (AIR) aka Aakashvani has adopted the Android route and an Android app is now available for download in the Google Play store (download link below). The official app has been designed to provide you with the latest national and regional news and content on your mobile device. The app requires you to have Android 2.2 and above and is just 1.9 MB in size. The app seems to be doing extremely well on the Google Play store with an average rating of 4.7 (so far) from users.
The app launch may mark the beginning of a new era for the age old Aakashvani radio. The radio service was on the decline in the last few years with the emergence of private radio stations in India. India's News & Broadcasting minister, Manish Tiwari launched the app yesterday.
The AIR android app provides fresh news content in both text and audio forms. The audio news section delivers the popular radio news shows viz. Samachar Prabhat, Dopahar Samachar and Samachaar Sandhya etc. Of course, reach wise the app will take a while because the data connectivity isn't uniform all over India.
I'm however curious to know why'd people want to pay for data usage to listen to the content that is anyway getting delivered free of cost through radio. Almost every mobile phone can tune in to AIR. I might be wrong though. Would love to hear your thoughts on this update.
