Ratings and reviews

I would like it a lot more if it didn't show me an ad every single time I log in. It didn't used to do this, and I do not want it. Now, every time I want to start my amp, I have to dismiss and ad trying to get me to upgrade to the spark 2. That has gotten really annoying really fast. Aside from that, it's ok, except that it doesn't work with Spotify anymore, which would be useful. Oh, and the AI search thing is not functional. It loads presents that don't make sounds. Bit of an issue.

Good but buggy. I have the spark 40. I love the way tonecloud and presets work, but the app feels very unstable - occasionally the amp will just not connect and I need to spend 10 minutes trying to connect it, oftentimes trying to use the tuner in the app will result in the app freezing as well, and if you close and reopen the app, you need to reconnect the amp, which can be very frustrating. however, the concept and amp are both great, and I love tonecloud.

I have a spark, just went to use the amp and the app after a couple months. It won't play music because it wants me to log into YouTube, but won't let me log into YouTube, connectivity sucks, and every time I press the capo button it automatically puts it on the third fret regardless of the song. Of course I guess that doesn't matter that much since it won't play music. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and check for updates (says I'm up to date) and nothing has fixed the problems.
