Aren't they hiring engineers crazily for the past 2 years?

Yes but their engineering practices and culture are top notch.   
    
 I sincerely hope that after merging the merged app would be like Hotstar and not like Jio cinema.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I know JIO Cinema has a great engineering team and lots of money but i really don't like the product. UI feels cluttered, livestream also feels pixalated anyone else feels the same. I really liked hotstar honestly and i was expecting jiocinema would be same as the tech team is pretty much same.

JIO Cinema hot take.

Hey @championswimmer

I use hotstar, Netflix, Sony LIV and Prime as premium user and all of them are doing great.

Only #jiocinema looks like lagging.

Apart from crashes and memes, few honest feedbacks and suggestions.

1. FHD or HD also looks like 480p on JioCinema app.

2. Concurrent user during live sports instead of total viewers

3. Ad experience is very bad even as premium user, that's a complaint for star and Amazon also. I dunno y

4. Recommendation engine isn't strong like peers.

Guys u can also add ur issues below.

Hope u take these feedbacks positively and do a freestyle lap inorder to fix these butterfly kinda issues.

Hotstar manged 6-7cr users.
Jio or sports 18 group can't manage even 2cr users.

they should poach hotstar team or get AWS services...

There should be penalty for ruining experience of consumers.

Reliance group Jio Cinema failed big-time.

A masterful stroke by Jio. If the 29/month gives access to all the amazing HBO content that only they have access to, that's incredible value.

Classic Jio move : First get them addicted, then check their pockets.

Any JioCinema folks can clarify what is the meaning of views? Currently 15.8 cf views in the super over. Seems unlikely it’s concurrent viewers.

Since Jio has taken up IPL broadcast and also HBO shows, how is the scene at Hotstar?
It would be difficult for them to make money through subscription since Jio cinema is free. How is the future look like?

How are things at Hotstar?

Looks like @Jiocinema is starting with replacing @hotstar in the Indian OTT market. 

Opinions?

The breadth of things, and the speed at which Jio rolls out successful ventures is crazy!

I am watching ipl simultaneously on my laptop and phone in the same language. In the break the ads shown on different devices are different. 
Does this happen normally?
