I am using Smart TV app on charji till now working fine but it take almost a month on support to get registered :D
I got registered in a week but the problem is their server capacity isnt good enough to stream everything
They should also extend this app for Smart TVs such as Samsung Smart TV.
I have had issues with it using rooted phone. But now having a stock Android version it really is fun. Excited about watching PSL.
I am happy to see that PTCL App win awards
Really i am satisfied with this app and its performance
This is the best i have used of all the apps available on play store. initially i also had issues but the helpline guys guided me when i called them. now it’s working fine and enjoy all the channels on it all the time, especially during the office hours :)
