Unplayable
I guess the pictures are cute, but the sound quality and playability are non-existent. This app is simply not usable to make music.
Worst App ever!
External mic? Headphones? Unbelievably bad! One star because I had to give one to comment!
Response from developer
An external mic is only needed for very old iPods that don't have built-in mics. Headphones are suggested for the jug because the built-in speakers on a mobile device don't reproduce low frequencies well.
Jug Band leaves alot to be desired.
I needed a washboard sound for my zydeco band. The washboard sound is elementary. One dimensional. Very limited. The area to play is also too small.
It needs plenty of upgrades before I can recommend this purchase to anyone.

Unique
I play all of these instruments in real life, thanks to the classes that app author Arlo Leach taught at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago.
What sets this app apart is authenticity. It aims for the feeling of playing the actual instruments. So just like playing an actual jug, it takes some practice to sound good.
I love showing this app off at jug band gatherings. Fun app!

Well designed app
This is a fun, well designed jug band app... Much better than most of the other instrument apps out there, plus it features unique instruments. Highly recommended for jug band enthusiasts!
Jug Band
I have been playing music for over 30 years and I must admit this Jug Band app is just too much fun. I have plugged into one of my amps and played it onstage. At gigs it becomes on of most talked about highlights of the show. I am wild with anticipation to see the ipad version.
