With the application, viewers can choose to either watch Star Plus Live or catch up on previous episodes of their favourite shows that they missed. They can also get updates on upcoming shows, latest schedules and read about what is happening on the channel in general.

Fans have the option of sharing their views or commenting on the shows of their choice and if they want, they can also connect with their favourite characters via listening to their audio blogs. Additionally, they can also view their latest pictures and exchange messages with them.

As of now the app is only available for Apple devices; that too a different one for the iPhone and iPad and not a single one that is compatible on both. Maybe in the future the company will launch an app for Android devices considering that the Android operating system is very popular on both smartphones and tablets.
