### 4/5 — Jam TV Live = no connection

*2026-07-13, version 4.1.2*

The game is fun overall but sometimes when you look in TV live when you don’t have Internet, you cannot get in and look at your songs. Plus it has some glitches.

### 4/5 — Not working

*2024-08-10, version 4.0.10*

Every time I open up Coding Jam, it goes back to the Home screen.

### 3/5 — Problem

*2024-07-01, version 4.0.10*

When I try to code a song it glitches and doesn’t do the right note

### 3/5 — We need more updates

*2023-11-25, version 4.0.10*

This game is great, but there is a issue. The only thing you can do is make songs, that’s it. So eventually, the game would get boring, so I was wondering if we can add a trade character feature, but that won’t work because there aren’t that many players anymore, I think, I hope this game has more players.🫤

### 5/5 — It's fun

*2021-09-05, version 2.2.0*

I love osmo.

### 5/5 — Code

*2021-04-26, version 2.1.2*

It will help me out to code
You should add engineer

### 4/5 — Not enough guys🙁

*2021-04-22, version 2.1.2*

### 4/5 — Nice but it didn't work

*2021-03-19, version 2.1.2*

So when I started to play it was cool but when I updated it I couldn't hear the song in the starting so it was cool but please fix it

### 4/5 — It didn’t work!

*2021-01-03, version 2.1.2*

I made a song last week, and it told me my song would be there. this week when I looked on sea songs, #19 it wasn’t my song, like they said it would be.  I was disappointed.

### 5/5 — Awesome but

*2020-12-15, version 2.1.2*

This game is awesome but when you get all the characters there is no use in the hearts. I would like that to be fixed and when I try to find my music on spooky tunes, number 26, I find that my music in NOT there. Same for my other music. Otherwise this game is the best. I would recommend it but just remember those things that should be fixed. Thanks for reading!!

What is the problem with this app for the iPhone? My kids use different osmo products with iPhone without any issues. The app can’t see the tiles placed in front using the reflector and base for the iPhone. Not planning to buy an iPad just to play the jam.

Gggggggf

### 5/5 — This game is awesome!! But….

*2022-02-13, version 3.3.1*

So I played this and I was not bored I really loved playing this game but when the new sounds came (maybe they are new sounds idk) I didn’t like it but a few days later I liked them a lot! I’m just wondering if you had this thing like where you make your own musical character that would be great! Whenever like my songs are on a category I don’t see it sometimes I do whenever I see them and they probably get moved because of new songs coming the category. But yeah I love this game!

### 5/5 — Great game a few complaints
