While Ekta TV is free-to-use and offers
useful self-help content
, the app feels unnecessary, especially since it only contains limited content with updates being few and far between. Similarly, users report some content being unavailable. Other Christian apps include
The Chosen
or
Upward: Christian Dating
.
Watch videos about the gospel
The main offering of Ekta TV as an app is its
library of videos
showing guides on how to apply bible teachings to everyday living. It has guides on doing things such as going about your fasting prayers or an explainer on why prayer is important in our life. Another helpful feature of the app is the availability of subtitles in both
English and Hindi
.
Generally, the app works like a standalone app of a
YouTube
channel, complete with the black and red color scheme. Unfortunately, the similarities also mean that there’s not much else to expect from this app. It only has a couple of videos, mostly following the same format and video editing style. There are
no other means of interaction
in the app, such as a built-in bible or a comment section.
Lastly, users have complained about
ads
popping up every now and then, interrupting the solemnity of the experience. There are times when ads appear in the middle as you watch, with some ads being unskippable for a couple of seconds. Also, users have complained about the app
failing to start
intermittently. There is no clear reason or indicator, but the problem is resolved randomly as well.
A limited-use app
Unless its content library grows or it adds new functionalities to keep users engaged for longer, Ekta TV is not really an app you’d have on your device for a long time. While it has the noble purpose of
spreading God’s word
, the app itself makes the experience rather challenging. Additionally, there are other alternatives that offer the same type of content but are free and with fewer ads.
