JioMoney loading...

Now after JioMoney is loaded to run, you will have the welcome pages, yes pages as you can see the all the features JioMoney is going to offer to you. 

These can be seen again from the Right drop down menu as Tour. 

Now after all the welcome pages you go through, you can now skip it and jump in to the log in page. 

On the next pages, you will be asked about DoB, Gender, Mobile No., setting password etc

Mobile will be verified with OTP. 

JioMoney will ask you to set a mPIN for faster logging in and faster transaction. 

Now you are ready to use the app. There are 6 main menu in the app. 

1. Jio Payments - It is inactive. Probably from here you can buy any Jio products including voice/data/VAS packs once Jio is launched.

2. Recharge/Bill Pay - Includes your prepaid/postpaid mobile recharge/bills, electricity, landlines, insurance, gas and charity. The prepaid recharge section is pretty similar to PayTm or Mobikwik.

3. Pay at Shop - By phone no or code you can now pay in stores with JioMoney.

4. Send/Request Money - send money to person/bank or request fund

5. Coupons - There are some coupons on different categories, which can be redeemed. Coupons available for Dominos, Monginis etc popular stores.

6. Loyalty Cards - You can add Reliance One cards over there, but as the app is still in beta stage, whenever I go in to this section, the app restarts.

There are two options on the upper corner of right and left side - Right one is for your account settings and Left one is for App options including Inbox.

VERDICT: JIOMONEY is a nice app from Jio, but it is still in beta/in-house testing mode. So it's premature to comment on it.
