Good thing about the app is that you get to listen to the various songs available even without data. But it's quite bad that the games don't load and the songlist is quite outdated. Recent popular hits are not there. Also, the free mobile data gift that is granted after the use of the app for a specific number of days is hardly respected.

This app ayoba is very good but one thing I don't like about them is that the music that I'm supposed to listen to it doesn't allow me to listen to the music so the music is always freezing even though the app is good for chatting and the rest but I'm not sure it is helping it is helping because I want to listen to the music even though other phones it comes but it is not helping me that's why I keep deleting and installing and deleting it every time so please fix it so that I will not regret
