Good content. Terribly dated app
Video controls on the iOS version are non-existent. Start/Pause. Increase your screen size to fit the iPad screen? Have to close the app to get back to the lesson. TrueFire’s interface is mediocre but runs circles around this interface. No loop or repeat sections, nothing. Surprised it didn’t come with a trial of AOL.

Great stuff
Like the way jam play lays out the lessons better than their competition .
Good start
The app crashes frequently and is missing features found in other “how to play bass” apps. The instructors, however, are good.
Very Good
I love the app on the iPad but navigating to where I left off seems like it could use a couple of tweaks. The videos are excellent and the supplemental material works nicely. Keep up the improvements.
It’s really bad
Too many things to list. Just try it, you’ll see. Buggy. Incomplete. Can’t close or minimize or pause a lesson (controls disappear never to be seen again.). Unclear what the next lesson is. Considering cancelling and going with the other big online guitar guys.
Update: under their description, they just notified us that it’s been updated to resolve apple iOS 8. Good to know they got the bugs worked out from the operating system last used in like 2017.
Just to be clear this review is only for the app, not the content which is great.

Bad web service with even worse app
JamPlay in theory would be great. But the website is clunky and is often down. The app has all those same flaws and adds to them with slow response times and hit-or-miss functionality.
Just plain excellent!
The presentation of each lesson is better than any of the other major guitar learning plans. Excellent video coverage of the angles of the instructor.
Don’t bother
Won’t login, won’t upgrade....don’t waste your time.
Be wary
These guys are the inheritors of lickoftheday which was a great app. I spent about £50 on videos in that app and then they stopped supporting it and it stopped working - so it ended up being a waste of money.
Best
This is the best guitar app ever
Wish there was a zero star option
I downloaded this app with the free trial and was going to delete it it as the app is absolutely horrendous. I was told that an update would be rolled out before the end of the year (this was November 2019). I was convinced enough to pay the year long membership and to put it bluntly I believe I was flat out lied to as it is literally a year later and there is still no update on this abortion of an app. Does it work on the PC? Yes, but even that has quite a few issues. The main reason for this purchase was to use this with my phone or iPad which was why I purchased this in the App Store.
Bottom line do not get suckered in by this until they update this app. Don’t make a $99 mistake like I did.

Good potential.
If I could log into my Jamplay account that would be amazing!
I keep coming back
I've been a member for a few years now and keep renewing. I mostly use their web interface and the content with JamPlay is superb. I'm just starting to use the app for an iPad and it is nice to use the platform away from my desktop computer.
No access to toolkits?
I was hopping to use Jamplay on my IPad but this app doesn’t have full access to everything available on the site.
I’m learning new techniques
I’m learning new techniques and un-learning some bad ones. Good job!
Probably shouldn’t bother
JamPlay has great content however it’s hard to understand why this app still exists. It hasn’t been updated in two years; the interface is severely outdated and it can’t do simple things like sync your progress with the website. JamPlay’s site works well enough on iPad, so best to just stick with the website. JamPlay should probably just remove this app and stop leading customers astray.

Yes
Good app, organised and good teachers
Navigation Is Lacking
I use an iPad, returning to where I left off is non existent. I have to find my way back to the proper lesson, then guess at where I left off. There doesn’t seem to be a way to sync when not using the app and using the web application.
Can’t log in.
Sorry fellas, but your app needs to be upgraded. I can’t log in and when I click on the support email the app crashes. Please fix it!
Awesome
Love the site so far it is well built, it’s a nice concept easy to navigate, learning from JamPlay is fun! For myself I like Bluegrass music and was impressed that I was able to take Bluegrass guitar lesson with JamPlay, they have it all and it’s affordable.
