Recent reviews

Don’t expect relaxing jazz music that is uninterrupted. Go elsewhere… Plus, it’s jazz that is dissonant. If you enjoy dissonant jazz, this is the place for you.

Best smooth jazz app on the planet, but the app no longer functions. It just spins. Uninstalled and reinstalled but it still doesn’t work. Never had a problem until now. Please fix it…
