### 3/5 — Login action doesn’t work

*2026-08-05*

I installed Grass on my iPhone and created an account, but on the iPad the login action is dead and does nothing.  I tried the create action and it works, but it doesn't accept my email because the email is already in use.

### 3/5 — Good app

*2026-05-15*

Good app! Helpful and has frequent updates. I really enjoy it and would recommend. You can even create your own song, complete with a backing track. Although, when you edit the song, it creates another version and you can’t delete the old one. So, basically you end up with a bunch of versions of a song that you don’t use. I hope this gets fixed! Otherwise good app!

### 5/5 — Love the Jams first approach!

*2025-07-23*

Grass makes me feel like I can prepare, connect, and collaborate with real people! Excited to see where this goes!
