### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-01-11*

This app is just straight terrible the music on it ain’t good there’s nothing good about it

### 2/5 — Just a Web Container

*2022-04-25, version 3.4.2*

This is just a container for the Jamendo website.  You can go directly to their website in Safari, open the Share menu, and select “Add to Homescreen”.  Your experience will be near identical while saving space on your phone and adding some features back that Apple disallows from the AppStore (such as direct downloads).

### 1/5 — Wish their technical tools worked

*2021-03-28, version 3.4.2*

I have enjoyed Jamendo for years. The app for iOS is, to be polite, barely useable. This is not their only weakness. Accessing them in a browser is not much better. 

I love the music selection, however, I cannot log into my active account. I cannot change my password even though it recognizes my account, I don’t think this is an app problem since the browser has the same issue. I cannot get more than one track to play at a time. I get logged out if I try to create a new playlist. 

The rating is for the app alone. I love having access to so many independent artists. I saw one review complaining about “new” content but it was obvious by their example’s that they meant popular. There is an awe inspiring amount of great music available on the service

### 1/5 — Please Fix Your App!

*2021-03-05, version 3.4.2*

This app is very slow and very buggy. Also, the link sent to eMail for resetting a password gives a 404 error.

### 5/5 — Good Music app

*2021-01-08, version 3.4.2*

I love this app so much

### 5/5 — Great music

*2020-04-23*

Great selection, no downloads thanks to Apple. The app may be slow sometimes but it does a great job.

### 5/5 — Can’t listen offline

*2020-01-20*

I love this app but I wish music could be downloaded to listen without wifi

### 5/5 — Into Jamendo Jazz section

*2019-09-11*

Music playing with no DJs messing it up. Streaming great jazz

### 1/5 — iOS

*2019-05-13, version 3.3.2*

Some excellent music.
App has issues. Logs me out when I try to make playlists. Considers me logging in from FB as a separate account and wouldn’t let me sign in saying my email was already in use. 🙄 Lots of issues.

### 3/5 — Jamendo for Creators

*2019-02-26*

Good app. I’d would be fantastic to have a creator app as well.
