### 1/5 — Out of date with iOS

*2023-06-03*

Won’t work anymore because developers haven’t updated the app. App Store won’t even let you download this anymore

### 5/5 — JamPlay is the BEST!

*2022-01-21, version 1.3*

I have learned so much from this app - it is so easy and convenient to use! very helpful

### 1/5 — doesn’t work with ios 15.2.1

*2022-01-20, version 1.3*

love the app. i updated jamplay and lost access to it. i’d like to go back to previous jamplay app. how can i do that??

### 3/5 — Hummmm??

*2020-01-29*

Love this app paid 2.99 as the idea of cords on your watch is ground breaking. 
Problem is I can’t get it to work no matter what i try( the watch part)
And the contact us option never works.
Feel abit ripped off but on ya phone it ok . 
Just wish someone would help me set up on 5s watch

### 1/5 — Why won’t my watch connect??

*2019-12-26, version 1.3*

The app won’t let me connect my brand new Apple Watch. Even tried to buy the app thinking I had to pay to unlock the watch “feature”... nope. 3$ down the drain.

### 2/5 — Wasn’t What I Expected

*2019-11-21, version 1.3*

I expected a program that showed me all possible positions of chords.  Example:  For E augmented it shows only one position.   Does same thing in many other chords.  I’d like to see chords all over the neck!

### 1/5 — Chords on the watch

*2019-11-16, version 1.3*

I installed the app. It would not connect to the watch. So I bought the premium version in the in app purchasing. It still won’t connect to the watch. There is no way to install it in the watch app. The chords app just says to launch the jam play app on the watch. It’s as clear as mud. The thing doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Works very well

*2019-11-12, version 1.3*

It wasn’t that long ago that this technology would have cost big bucks and wold not fit in in my shirt pocket. 
I still have several chord books several inches thick.  The price sticker is still visible, $18-34.

### 1/5 — Premium doesn’t work

*2019-10-05*

I paid to upgrade to Premium using in app purchase but it won’t register. Even tried deleting and tapping RESTORE PURCHASE. Nothing happens. It also won’t install or show up as am app for my watch. IOS 13.2 AW 6. Looks like I wasted $4. Ah well

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-05-24, version 1.3*

Easy to use.  Easy to get quick info on chord progressions.
