Will no longer save by zip code and smaller radius. The result is you have to read listings for shows in areas you don’t care about. ### 4/5 — Cannot view past shows in App *2022-10-12, version 5.0.1* A really helpful feature for the app would be to include the ability to view and search for past shows that you have attended and that artists have performed. The website has this capability. It should move over to the app also. Otherwise, it’s good. ### 3/5 — Not all events can be trusted. *2022-08-12, version 5.0.0* NOT covid related. Just use alternative sources to verify. ### 2/5 — Full of glitches *2022-05-01, version 4.0.8* For some reason it never scrolls right. The app is good in concept but very glitchy. ### 3/5 — Not as good as it used to be *2021-07-02, version 4.0.8* Been a user from the beginning and, sadly, the latest revamp is a step backwards. It also seems like the app is missing more and more shows. It’s like sometimes they’ll list the band playin the local hotdog stand but nothing about the established bands playing Sculpture Park. I wish there was a better alternative. ### 2/5 — Major update needed *2021-05-30, version 4.0.8* Been a JamBase user / advocate since day 1… a d the current version is in need of a massive upgrade. As someone who designs GUI that loves music this has been a go to. But it’s just not easy to endorse a platform that is so dysfunctional when it comes to being able to track and follow events. ### 3/5 — Please make content from the website available on App *2020-09-03, version 3.0.7* Would be nice! ### 5/5 — A DREAM COME TRUE!!!! *2019-05-18, version 3.0.6* I just moved to the Denver, CO area from a smaller city and I’m firing for some good concerts at the great venues Denver has to offer. This app not only gives me a great resource to plan out the concerts i want to see and CAN see, it truly creates a list of bands I know I truly love!! AMAZING!! ### 5/5 — Great resource *2019-01-30, version 3.0.6* One stop shopping for music. I live in San Francisco for 10 months and lakeside Montana in the summer. I love that I can use this ap in the summer too for local shows. Lots of genres covered too. ### 5/5 — Good ish *2018-09-01, version 3.0.6* Way more convenient than the desktop when on mobile. Glad to have the app ### 4/5 — Long time supporter with enhancement suggestions. *2018-08-18, version 3.0.6* Been a user and heavy supporter since the early gadiel.com days. Over the years Jambase has helped me discover amazingly talented bands I would have never otherwise have found, helped to determine several vacation destinations, make weeks I had to travel for work more entertaining, and is generally the first place I go when looking for something to do. I am grateful for JamBase! That being said the user experience could be greatly enhanced if the app offered just a little more. 1. Please integrate the calendar function with native calendar tools available on most mobile devices. This addition would be a huge improvement! 2. For some reason in SW Ohio the “find me” function thinks I’m in Blowing Rock, North Carolina??? This is a new issue I’ve just recently noticed. 3. In the spirt of “Go See Live Music” it would be cool to have a map view of shows displayed on the map for a selected date. Perfect for those users that need a visual to get them out and supporting live music. 4. Add the ability to sort shows by distance from the users location or by popularity based on count of calendar additions. 5. Add a new tab. I enjoy reading the newsfeed articles on your website, I’m sure others do as well. 6. Consider showing a count of users that have saved a show to their calendars to give people an idea of how much interest there may be in a show. Thanks!!! ### 4/5 — Just missing one thing *2018-04-20, version 3.0.4* As a fan of live music, I love this app. It is also helpful because my job involves lots of travel so I can find shows wherever I am. What I’d like to see is an ability to add shows to my phone’s calendar, not just the calendar within the app. Often I have interest in a show and would like visibility in the tool that governs my life. ### 5/5 — Critically acclaimed app called Crash *2018-04-18, version 3.0.4* Please fix the app. I’m a big JamBase fan and the app needs to be fixed. ### 4/5 — back to good, thanks for updating *2017-09-18, version 3.0.3* :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t see all the shows *2022-08-26, version 5.0.1* I travel for music so I need to see all shows for my bands. The limit of 200 miles is useless for me and this makes the app useless. As a developer I know this should be a simple thing to do. ### 1/5 — Can’t Scroll *2022-05-19, version 4.0.8* This app used to work great but not anymore. When you click on a band you can’t scroll down to see their upcoming shows. It just keeps buffering back to the top show you can only see the next couple of shows. It was a great app, told a lot of friends. Unfortunately it’s been like this for a while. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2019-06-12, version 3.0.6* Can’t log into app.....only website ### 1/5 — App doesn’t include Past Shows *2019-05-21, version 3.0.6* Absolutely love JamBase but the website search and navigation are much better and include Past Shows, so there’s no reason to install the app. Even when a Past Show is on My Calendar, it does not show up unless you go back to the website and look at My Calendar there. Why would a calendar on the two platforms (app vs web) be any different?? Sad! 😄 ### 1/5 — Cool if it works 👎👎👎👎 *2019-02-06, version 3.0.6* Would be great if their tech actually works. At least it will no longer crash EVERY time I open it 😕😕😕😕😕😕 ### 1/5 — Location Issue *2018-07-09, version 3.0.6* I'm in Northeast Ohio and your location finder keeps placing me in North Carolina. Phrase fix. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE experience *2017-08-22, version 3.0.2* I can log into the website just fine but have never ever been able to successfully log into the app. I've tried everything I can think of--deleting and reinstalling, updating password--and have written support at least five times with not one single response. Terrible. Awful. Such a waste. ### 1/5 — Cannot log in on iPhone app *2017-06-29, version 3.0.2* Trash ### 1/5 — Can't log in with app *2017-04-20, version 3.0.2* Loved this site. Dumped 900 some of my favorite bands into it. And then a year ago or so I could no longer log into it through the app. I can get in on the site but the app essentially no longer works or exists. Very disappointing! Any suggestions? ### 1/5 — Can't log in on app. *2017-03-25, version 3.0.2* Useless. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Spliff Mama Approved! *2024-05-05, version 5.0.1* Excellent app for Spliff Mamas everywhere! I’ve been using this app for over 10 years and it’s still keeping me going to shows across the US! 😎😎😎 ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-04-01, version 5.0.1* Use it for all my bands I follow within a 300 mile radius. Life saver and free ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-01-17, version 5.0.1* The best app for following live music!!! It fell off for a few years but the current team is doing great things with the app and website. Long live Jambase! ### 5/5 — Music Tourist *2022-07-22* I need to be able to search more than a 250 mi radius from home. ### 5/5 — Wow *2021-02-22, version 4.0.8* After years of using the site (and then the app), this update makes familiar new. (Wish I had more shows to decide upon, but that will happen). Thanks and do good. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2020-10-27, version 4.0.5* This is a must have app for concert/festival discovery! Also love being able to read the latest music news, have all the best live-streams in one place, and the ability to track my favorite artists. The new JamBase app is simply amazing! ### 5/5 — Jam On! *2020-10-23, version 4.0.5* Super sleek, streamlined design. Puts all your favorite bands’ news and content in one convenient place. Great when you need to access the site quickly on the go! ### 5/5 — Great Upgrade *2020-10-23, version 4.0.5* So glad my favorite site has an app just as amazing! Good to see articles and live-streams included. ### 5/5 — Love the update! *2020-10-23, version 4.0.5* New design looks really great. Love that I can now read articles inside the app. Big fan of the livestreams viewing portal and getting notified when they start. Can’t wait for more concerts to fill up my calendar! ### 5/5 — Jam *2020-10-14, version 4.0.3* The premier Jamband information source for a decade and more. The leading site for live streams during covid. A truly deep and informative scheduling feature to find live shows in normal times. Some decent articles and reviews.
