I listen to it at work for a full day and I was transfixed all day. It’s really fantastic. Highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — I love it *2018-01-26, version 6.3.1* Is it the only station I listen to during my workday ### 5/5 — The Best *2017-12-31, version 6.3.1* This has got to be the best smooth jazz station on the Internet. No commercials, none. This guy Rod is operating on his own. He does ask for financial support to keep the station afloat, but that is it. Even with that he's not forcing you, which I find attractive. Will however throw support his way. He is playing all of the best smooth jazz from years past and current. I love it. He also shares information on wine. What goes better with smooth jazz? Good wine. ### 5/5 — Great App *2017-12-15, version 6.3.1* Instant and easy access to the best smooth sounds on the ‘net. ### 5/5 — Best smooth jazz *2015-10-31, version 5.5.6* Love this application. I listen to smooth jazz to every night. No commercials just no stop goodness. Rod Lucas is wonderful thanks! ### 5/5 — Great music :) *2015-04-07, version 5.5.6* Love this radio !! ### 5/5 — Jazz lover *2014-09-17, version 5.1.2* We miss Smooth Jazz 105.9 in the DC area and were so happy to find you Rod. We love the music mix you put together - keep on playing!! Rick and Julia Chambers ### 5/5 — Brilliant Station! Great to have an app! *2014-06-21, version 5.1.2* So glad to find there's an app for this station. It really is the best thing for chilling out to and hearing the latest jazz artists out there. The app is perfect for when I'm staying away for meetings. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-11-19, version 7.1.54* Don’t expect relaxing jazz music that is uninterrupted. Go elsewhere… Plus, it’s jazz that is dissonant. If you enjoy dissonant jazz, this is the place for you. ### 4/5 — My Happy Place! *2024-01-05, version 7.1.44* I love Best Smooth Jazz so much. It lifts my mood exponentially. I listened to it on YouTube for a quite a while until I learned about this app. YouTube seems to have a nasty habit of throwing commercials in when the developer had no intention of having them. Now I listen to the Rod's astounding collection of music through this free app without interruptions. I am a bit frustrated however because recently the app has crashed multiple times and I've had to reinstall. Rod Lucas, is there a bug fix on the horizon? My ipad is fully updated, so I don't think it's my device. ### 4/5 — Good Selection *2018-09-28, version 6.3.1* of Smooth Jazz from different times interrupted from time to time by Rod Lucas. ### 4/5 — Seems flawless *2016-08-15, version 6.2.1* Love having BSJ in my pocket. ### 5/5 — App Is Broken *2025-10-11, version 7.1.54* Best smooth jazz app on the planet, but the app no longer functions. It just spins. Uninstalled and reinstalled but it still doesn’t work. Never had a problem until now. Please fix it… ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2025-03-15, version 7.1.54* Clean open Sound Quality, a great selection of Smooth Jazz Music ### 5/5 — Best smooth jazz app *2024-12-20, version 7.1.50* Listen all day at work Just love this simple to use app however it stopped playing at work other apps still play not sure if an update is now filtered by my company’s Wi-Fi Thanks for the smooth instrumental jazz ### 5/5 — As close to perfection as it gets *2024-07-31, version 7.1.50* Always the best, Rod has no compare, bless him, best tunes anywhere, and he does it all for love, spends his own money to keep it going .. 17+ years and going strong 💕 ### 5/5 — Smooooth… *2022-08-29, version 7.1.42* Very good smooth jazz station. No vocals and great artists. Great wine reviews too boot. Been listening since 2014. ### 5/5 — Still the best smooth jazz app *2022-02-24, version 7.1.34* This non-vocal, all instrumental, and commercial free smooth jazz station remains at the top of its category. World wide audience has supported this station for years. Unmatched on the internet. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Music & Respectful Privacy *2021-04-05, version 7.1.34* We enjoy the music. Great hosts. Above all, this app does not collect data which is why I downloaded it.
