### 1/5 — I just wanted to listen to podcasts

*2024-04-08*

I’m always looking for new apps to listen to my podcasts, thought it looked interesting. I didn’t make it past the first screen. Why do you need phone numbers? Creeps, that’s who.

### 5/5 — The best podcast app

*2023-10-23*

I love being able to curate a playlist of shorter pods, and also stream my favorite longer shows. Plus you can message the hosts, which feels more communal. I love JAM!

### 5/5 — Jam is my Jam Says Brandy J

*2023-04-17*

I love this platform

### 5/5 — TikTok for Podcasts

*2023-04-17*

I’ve been thinking about starting a podcast for years but was so intimidated by the thought of how much time, effort, money (!) would go into it. Investing in mics and other equipment, how much time it would take to edit my audio… I never would’ve started one, but now I have a Jam! It’s so easy to record (you do it right in the app), there’s *zero* editing required (they do it for you), and the whole point is to be authentic, so I can be unscripted and not worry about all the “um”s and pauses in my speech — it’s just like leaving a voice note! Love this app and if you’ve been thinking of starting a podcast, you have to try it.

### 5/5 — Changed my day!

*2023-04-12*

I used to listen to podcasts and now I start my day with my Jams. Much more my style.

### 5/5 — Best way to talk to my community

*2023-04-10*

I’ve made videos, podcasts, TikToks… all of it. Nothing’s easier than Jam… I just press record, talk and post the Jam and my audience hears the updates. I can’t really believe we haven’t had something like this before.

### 5/5 — Life changing!!

*2023-04-06, version 1.16.0*

Jam is my new favorite app! I feel like it’s so up and coming and is one of the only platforms I can still authentically engage on. If Instagram has pictures and twitter has words, then Jam has sound. I love to listen to some of my favorite content creators and stay better informed on the daily. Jam also allows me to make my own bite sized podcast to share with my friends, family and followers. It’s such a good time. Check it out today!!

### 5/5 — This app is brilliant!

*2023-04-06, version 1.16.0*

I am excited to be an early adopter to this new platform. Short audio is so engaging. My favorite part is getting messages from my listeners.
