MUMBAI: JioSaavn is giving its 100 million monthly active users a visual overhaul, but the real treats are reserved for those willing to pay. The audio streaming platform today rolled out version 10.0, a comprehensive redesign that polishes the experience for everyone whilst dangling a premium aesthetic carrot exclusively for JioSaavn Pro subscribers.
The update, launched on 29 October, touches everything from buttons to typography to colour palettes. But Pro subscribers get an altogether posher experience: refined textures, subtle animations, dynamic visuals that adapt to album artwork, and a darker background that makes cover art pop. There’s even an animated leaf effect—a “signature Pro visual element”—fluttering across select pages.
The redesign isn’t mere cosmetic fiddling. JioSaavn has reengineered core interface elements—buttons, tab pills, pop-up flows—to follow a coherent design language that adapts seamlessly across themes. Iconography has been sharpened: Play, Skip, Home, Share, Edit and the ellipsis menu all sport a more contemporary aesthetic. Typography has been fine-tuned for improved legibility against updated background colours.
The Pro-exclusive theme introduces a distinguished app icon and reimagined animation that sets the tone before users even tap in. Pro badging appears consistently across profile and settings pages, reinforcing the premium tier at every turn. The player interface now dynamically shifts to match whatever track is playing—a neat trick that makes the experience feel alive.
Founded in 2007, JioSaavn has grown into India’s dominant audio streaming service, offering over 100 million tracks in 15-plus languages across podcasts and music. The platform spans Android, iOS, JioPhones and web, with interfaces available in twelve display languages.
JioSaavn Pro strips out ads entirely and throws in unlimited downloads, unlimited skips, endless autoplay and superior audio quality. Subscription options include individual, family, duo and student plans. Jio users get a bonus: they can set any of 2 million-plus songs as their JioTune caller tune.
The version 10.0 update is available now on Android and iOS. JioSaavn is sweetening the deal with festive offers to lure free-tier listeners into trying Pro.
The strategy is transparent: make the free experience better, but make the paid experience irresistible. By merging functionality with design excellence—and reserving the most elegant flourishes for subscribers—JioSaavn is betting that 100 million monthly listeners will notice the difference. And that at least some of them will open their wallets to close the gap between good and gorgeous.
