Ekta TV is a free-to-use lifestyle app that offers Christian content to users everywhere. This video streaming tool offers programs, shows, and series that preach about the Gospel. Aside from biblical passages, it also offers guides on how to live like a Christian through helpful videos, sorted in different playlists for easier navigation.

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.
