### 3/5 — Foul Xylophone

*2025-11-20, version 6.0.1*

Love jazz, and Christmas jazz even more however the xylophone can take a walk into the street w eyes closed > less xylophone please = none; and the app stops playing even w donation when not open :/

### 4/5 — Chromecast

*2024-09-19, version 5.0.0*

I Miss the chromecast funzionalità

### 3/5 — 強制終了

*2024-05-15, version 5.0.0*

最近急に強制終了するようになりました。

### 4/5 — Great app, needs landscape support on iPad

*2022-10-05, version 4.1.2*

The app is a great way to enjoy the Jazz Groove service.  Would earn 5 stars from me if the iPad version supported landscape view.

### 4/5 — Does not work on Apple Car Play

*2022-08-04, version 4.1.2*

I listen to Jazz Groove only in my car and would like to donate but unfortunately the otherwise nice app doesn’t appear on the Apple Car Play menu.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2021-09-08, version 4.0.8*

Expensive. Display errors. Poor support.

### 2/5 — Great music, unstable app

*2021-08-20, version 4.0.8*

We love the Jazz Groove and recommend the station to all our friends.  But the app constantly drops and freezes.  So it kind of a waste for our premium membership because we go through radio app.  Same issue on multiple devices so I don’t know what’s going on.

### 5/5 — Best there is

*2021-08-14, version 4.0.8*

JG is a great service for jazz lovers. And it is obviously the product of dedicated ownership to the cause! I may find the music a little light at times, but realize the station needs to cover a lot of bases. The premium plan is well worth it. And the skip song feature is indispensable. Don’t know what I would do without The Jazz Groove.

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!🔝🔝

*2021-08-04, version 4.0.8*

The best app for listening jazz!!! 😍👌🏻

### 4/5 — Great improvement.  One thing needed.

*2021-08-02, version 4.0.8*

Fantastic improvement with the recent update.  Does nearly everything you’d want it to do.  Love all the features we paid for with our subscription: the channels, the lack of advertisements.  Just one missing.  I can give you a fifth star when you allow a subscriber to skip a track as she can with the website.

Otherwise, great job!  Thanks for the brand new app.

### 5/5 — 2021 JazzGroove app is now superb.

*2021-07-16, version 4.0.8*

With 2 different listening options of rhythmic instrumental jazz channels free from vocalists ("Mix 1" & "Mix2""), a jazz singer channel ("Gems") , a channel featuring both singers and instrumentalists ("Smooth Jazz"), plus a sleep time channel ("Dreams") this app offers great choices. The app itself is very easy to use and change listening mood among the 5 channels; it loads quickly and is sparing of mobile devices' batteries. Anyone who appreciates good music should try this app because they will find at least one musical channel to enjoy. Download and use is free, so everyone can listen and see for themselves. (There is the option to become a participating donor and contributors then get to personalize certain app features.) The app has been updated in 2021 and is now superb.

### 5/5 — Fan absolu

*2021-07-13, version 4.0.8*

Je ne pourrai plus vivre sans vous . La plus élégante programmation de Jazz sur le net, jamais d’ennui toujours des surprises .
Merci

### 5/5 — Jazz Groove

*2021-07-04, version 4.0.8*

I find that the app works on my iPhone. Also as a paid subscriber I have been using the app on my Sonos devices and it has worked flawlessly. JG often run all day in the background.

### 5/5 — 최고의 재즈 채널

*2021-01-02, version 1.0.16*

Linn jazz와 더불어 최고라는 칭호가 전혀 아깝지 않음

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Full of bugs until it definitely crashed

*2026-03-31, version 6.0.5*

Crashes on iOS 15.8.7 on my iPhone 6

### 1/5 — 寄付を求められる

*2025-10-12, version 5.2.1*

突然聞けなくなります
時間制限があるようでその後は寄付を求めるアナウンスが流れます

### 1/5 — Poor Connection Quality on IPad

*2025-07-04, version 5.2.1*

Great music selection.
Connects well on my phone but not the IPad.
This is a consistent problem for a year and that’s with a purchased subscription.

### 1/5 — poor output play options

*2024-04-11, version 4.1.2*

a great way to listen to the sister stations like Dreams until you realise you can only listen to any of the stations on your phone which means after all this effort from the station to broadcast and bring beautiful music to our homes, you can’t then play it on a speaker deserving of its quality, instead can only listen on a tinny phone speaker 👎👎👎👎👎

### 1/5 — Limited app, great music

*2020-12-28, version 1.0.16*

The app does allow me to log in (no way to say I am premium), only give one play list, no way to skip songs. 
I’ve been using it on Sonos for some time and decided to add to iPhone to take advantage of when Sonos is not available. No point in doing it with the app which is really bad.

### 1/5 — No selective jazz!

*2020-11-23, version 1.0.16*

Interesting.  Apparently this app can only play one piece.  The suspense is killing me.

### 1/5 — Music is great - app is horrible!

*2020-02-13, version 1.0.16*

I have been unable to get it to function for over 1-month! And I’m an IT guy.

### 1/5 — Keep crashing.

*2018-11-18, version 1.0.14*

Best music if the apps work

### 1/5 — Ipad2

*2018-07-10, version 1.0.13*

App will not download on iPad 2 or older. Tablets. Previous app no longer works. We are screwed!!

### 2/5 — Latest update to version 6.0.6 immediate crash at app start

*2026-04-24, version 6.0.6*

with IOS 15.8.7 on old iPad Air 2 (just used for music)

Otherwise wonderful app and music selection, especially for “late night” and “overnight” jazz,

### 5/5 — Jazzzzz😎🎷🎹🥁🎼

*2025-11-27, version 6.0.2*

The Best Jazz Radio!!!

### 5/5 — The Jazz Groove

*2025-11-18, version 6.0.1*

WOW SO COOL A MUST GET AND LISTEN OR A MUST LISTEN AND GET WHICH EVER

### 5/5 — Great! Chomecast is back in iOS Version

*2025-11-16, version 6.0.1*

Now I can use my wireless Google speaker. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2025-11-13, version 6.0.1*

Been a member from the early days, before apps.  The music selection is great and the quality of the sound is terrific.  Nothing else comes close.  Try it!  🤠🎶🎶🎶👌

### 5/5 — Song Skips!

*2025-11-13, version 6.0.1*

They added song skips! Awesome! And I love the new
Who Played What feature - super cool!

### 5/5 — Great Improvement

*2025-11-01, version 6.0.1*

Version 6.0 is great improvement over previous versions. Many of the bugs have been fixed and finally the option to skip tracks is a winner. Sadly the addition of a Christmas Station is odd. Don’t think I’ll be listening to Christmas carols any other time but December.

### 5/5 — App much better, music still great

*2022-06-04, version 4.1.2*

Since my review early this year, the app has significantly improved. Basically no more interruptions.
Music remains great, across their channels.

### 5/5 — Merveilleuse station

*2022-01-25, version 4.1.2*

De belles et grandes découvertes tout au long de ces années d’écoute quasi-quotidienne. Merci pour ces purs moments de plaisir.

### 5/5 — Best

*2021-11-04, version 4.0.8*

Like it. Best jazz app❤️

### 5/5 — Life has stresses & The Jazz Grove takes them away love this station it’s my go to station

*2021-08-24, version 4.0.8*
