  • Great App, if only it worked

    This app is a great idea, but it doesn’t work…at all. Won’t play from the playlist to keep music going, won’t even play requested songs.
  • Want to use but no autoplay makes it difficult

    Has great potential if it would actually autoplay from the preload playlist you select when no requests are playing. Without that feature you have to spend an hour preloading requests to keep the music on, then your guests requests don’t come to the top of the queue. Usually it’s a good idea to make sure your few core features work fully before you ship an app!
  • Fun app

    Great app. Worked great at our party. Gave 3 stars because the auto play of silent feature does not work. If that gets fixed it’s a 5 star app.
  • Great start but needs a few more things

    It is a great start to this app, used it multiple times for a few BBQ’s at my house. Needed to preload the party queue myself with songs the days before in order to have constant music playing. The preload a playlist idea when no music is playing has not worked.

    Would also like to see a Apple car play option as this would be a great idea for road trips with friends. Would need to keep the driver in mind as he would not be able to select songs from his phone to play. So maybe have a song rotate in from his set playlist every rotation between everything else being played by others?
  • Won’t play from playlist and won’t play on Sonos

    Same issue. When que ends nothing plays. Also lab to force people to play from playlist doesn’t work even with 100+ song playlist.

    Also can this app be played through Sonos system?
  • Love it except one important thing

    Love the app, but the host playlist to play when nothing is playing won’t ever work.
  • Can’t login, session expires immediately

    I played around with this app for hours and couldn’t login to an iPhone or iPad. Don’t waste your time like I did!
  • Great idea! I was planning on making an app like this!!!

    Setup was easy and I like the web app option as well.

    The only thing that would make this better would be if it allowed you to select different playback devices so I can use it with my sonos speakers without an aux cable.

    Hey 16438952tgatguy1, Sorry to hear you ran into an issue, it sounds like a weird one. because the service is still running. It would be great if you could get in contact with us directly via support@jukestar.mobi or our Facebook page. We'll get you partying again! :)
  • Used to be great, now just trying to rob you

    This used to be a great fun way to play music with friends during a party. However, they recently updated everything so now you have to pay to get “votes” or to request songs. They also force you to download the app now instead of accessing a website. What’s worse, you have to download two separate apps if you want to host a party and be able to add songs to your own party! Totally takes advantage of the user and makes a very annoying experience for our party guests. We’re moving to a new app.

    Hey Carwheel88, sorry you haven't had a great experience with the new Jukestar. Just a quick clarification: Guests also earn free tokens every minute. So every 15 minutes each guest will have been able to request 3 new songs or vote on 7 songs (or a combination of this) for free. We have carefully designed the token levels so guests can still have an awesome time for free.
  • Great app - need some customization options

    Guest webapp supports multiple OS and it’s really easy to use.

    Host app works great, but could have more flexibility:
    - Restrict the guest request list only to a pre-defined playlist
    - Add an option to delete a party
    - Generate a QRCode for easy sharing
    - Possibility to add local music from the host device
