I loved the app when I first downloaded it. Lately, it will only play maybe the last 5 songs I've already listened to, on every one of my multiple customized station, in a repetitive circle, and then gives me an error window that says my request cannot be processed at this time, once I've tried to, "Thumbs down," all the songs repeating... I'm super disappointed and I really hope this problem can be fixed, otherwise I won't be keeping the app. UPDATE: I did exactly what you guys told me to do and I'm having the same problems. Thanks a lot for nothing. Uninstalling.

I can't stream Jango unless I'm connected to my Wi-Fi, which is crazy. It used to work fine before I upgraded to a Samsung phone.I don't have any data saving apps turned on. 12/12/16- update my samsung J3 still can't stay connected with the jango app!!

This app looks very good. My mom uses this app so I decided to try it out. Although every time I try to sign up -after I fill out all he required items and checked to see if there was something to do in the terms of use and services manuals- it says that there was an error trying to fulfill my request. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and even restarted my phone but it still says that there was an error.

It would be nice if while using a headset, the music automatically resumed after a phone call, And also if you could skip songs in the notification window while your screen is locked. But beside those two things I love this app

I have been using Jango from my laptop and recently discovered they had an app. Simply love it. I did struggle with the volume being really low. But found the volume slider right below in the app and adjusted it to my requirement. Thank you Jango, love the service.

Really love this app. After paying for Apple Music, Spotify and Pandora I was disillusioned with 'free' music apps. This is the real deal. No annoying ads and the choices are endless. High recommend

Have you checked for data saving settings? Go to your Settings, select Data Usage and scroll down to the list of apps. Then tap on Jango and make sure that "Restrict Background Data" is not turned on.

The music should resume. Try restarting the device or reinstalling Jango. In the lock screen just swipe the Jango widget downwards to reveal the controls.

Fab for free - few ads - allows song skips - lets you alter streaming quality in settings. It may not quite have the range of songs, but the quality knocks the spots off other free music apps:).

Jango.com June 21, 2017

Thanks for the rating! What songs were you not getting? If you were looking for newer songs, you can find those in our genre stations, located in the Explore section of the app. Those stations have playlists that are selected by our deejays and are updated weekly.

A Google User April 4, 2017

1 thing that wud help both on the website & on the app is something that tells us that we've already thumbed up a song, like maybe having the thumb up👍 highlighted or have a # on it to show how many times I've rated the song that way. I think I've up-thumbed some songs a few times n they end up playing too frequently cuz the service thinks I'm totally in luv with the song & wanna hear it a lot but really I just couldn't remember if I'd rated it already or not.

Jango.com November 23, 2016

Just put your finger on the Jango banner in the lock screen and swipe downwards.

Prashant Sharma June 17, 2017

I use the website extensively, and of course while the app had less real estate on a phone as compared to a laptop, it's pretty decent all the same. The song choice is very wide and the "radio" concept (i.e. you choose the genre but not the song) keeps a certain sense of excitement alive.... I like it!!!

bjo daddyo May 15, 2017

Was working fine before I rated 5 stars . Now get error message timeout and won't work. Uninstalled and reinstalled but still no bueno. Rebooted phone but no help. WTH? Back to Pandora I guess. 5 stars when problem fixed. ................UPDATE.............. Checked all my settings as recommended with still no luck getting it to work. I used another email account and tried making a new jango account and now works perfect with different account so I don't think my phone or settings was the problem. Five stars for great music experience minus one star for not having someone look into the problem with original account.

Jango.com April 22, 2017

Please check if you have any energy or data saving apps or settings turned on as these often cause issues with Jango's connectivity. Other services that can cause problems are ad blockers, VPN or proxy connections or firewalls.

Matthew Baker February 23, 2017

Asking for unnecessary permissions. Prompts for permissions every time I touch anything. Developers explained the need for them, and I'm fine with most. I'm not prepared to grant permission to my location. It shouldn't be required. Update : Too frustrated with constant nagging. Uninstalling.

Jango.com February 23, 2017

Our app works in most countries and for each country, or state, we have a relevant set of ads. You would not want to receive Mexican ads if you are in Norway, or vice versa. Does that make sense?

R May 26, 2017

I love the web version of Jango. But this app is pathetic and full of bugs -- even on a healthy network. On unstable network with higher latency, it is worse than a nightmare. Would have given it 1 star had it not been for my soft spot for the web variant. The developers behind the app should get their act together or choose another profession maybe. Harsh but true.

Jango.com May 26, 2017

Please contact Jango Support by using the in-app Contact/Help button, and describe what is happening.

June 23, 2017

A great alternative to Pandora with few ads but has some drawbacks No album cover No option to add songs to custom stations A dark background (or theme) is absent No way we can undo or actions i.e, like or dislike a song But, it does really excel even with a poor internet connection

Jango.com January 15, 2017

What particular dark theme are you referring to? We have a Dark Alternative Rock station, a Dark Industrial and a Dark Synth Pop station available in the Explore section of our app.

February 24, 2017

The best app I've ever downloaded! It's free, no ads interrupting the music and rarely crashes! The only suggestions I have would be to bring back the feature that when you pressed dislike it asked whether you disliked the artist or just that song. And also the app being able to be used via the lock screen - I have a HTC OneX9 and I can't skip songs or even see what they are without unlocking the phone. Keep up the great work!

Jango.com February 24, 2017

You should be able to swipe down the widget in the lock screen to access the commands.

Shaik Shahnaz April 21, 2017

The selection is usually great. The app was working fine the last time i checked. Today the songs keep changing without even playing. Don't know what happened to it. I tried to log out and login and even cleared the cache. Tried to reinstall but still no luck. Can someone please fix it? Update: it fixed itself and that's awesome :)

Jango.com April 21, 2017

We are currently running some server maintenance that may cause some playlist mixup, but what you are describing sounds more like AdBlock or a battery or data saving app or setting turned on.

Mr.Phyothura Maung June 13, 2017

I was using jango since in 2010,It was very nice application who can listen all types of music as free.One things is a little error that did not next automatically when finished songs and sometimes app was stop and out of the listen.please fix to improve as a great app ever.

Jango.com June 13, 2017

The music should play continuously. Please check if you have any energy or data saving apps or settings turned on as these often cause issues with Jango's connectivity. Other services that can cause problems are ad blockers, VPN or proxy connections or firewalls. If none of that applies to you then please try restarting the device.

February 25, 2017

Hi, Jango is a very awesome service to listen to music 😍😍❤️❤️. I especially like the fact that you can listen to free music stations or create your own custom one 🎉✨🎇🎆🎶🎵🎼. But I was thinking that it would be awesome if you guys can put a variety of songs when listening to a custom or from the category of radio stations. Everytime I put a radio station it starts to put the same songs that I thumps up first like crazy 😒😔. It would be awesome if it was like Pandora when Everytime you put a song, it was different. 👍👍👍

Marc Cueni June 6, 2017

Simplicity, quality, free and ad-free, excellent music choice and variety, smart concept: search an artist you love and you'll have a radio with her/his songs and others of same style/category. Each song can be marked with Thumbs Up or Down, to be heard more often or not anymore Thanks for the very good work!

ar ble March 31, 2017

Better than Pandora because there's no audio ads and infinite skips. My only complaint is that "local artists" should be an optional feature. I just want my Toto and my Tom Petty, not Scrango Dinglets and the Taco Truck Band.

Happy Torrent March 18, 2017

It's a great app, don't get me wrong. It's just that when ever I skip a song, it always seems repeat other songs that have played. I often get stuck skipping a bunch of songs because they are all repeated songs that have played 10 mins ago. Please fix this, I absolutely love this app but man is this annoying

Jango.com March 19, 2017

Switching stations will reset the playlist.

April 8, 2017

Impressive so far. No Chromecast option and gapless playback are the only two drawbacks I could see. The end of songs have to much fade to them, always at least 5 seconds of silence near the end prior to the next song starting. Other that that, this app is right up there with the rest.

Alexander Yanuar Koentjara February 13, 2017

Volume too soft with earphone. I am aware with volume bar at bottom, already maxed also the system volume. Volume from android music player is much louder. My advice: don't try to be smart by putting unnecessary feature. Why separate volume bar if it only makes the volume so dim?

Jango.com February 13, 2017

That sounds unusual. Have you tried restarting your device or reinstalling Jango?

C Magee March 6, 2017

Editing my review as the developer responded the same day and explained why it needs access. I think that this is a great app and works well when Google play does not. But... Why does this app need access to location, storage, and phone? That is the only reason that I don't give this a 5.

Jango.com March 6, 2017

The phone status is necessary in order to understand when to pause and resume, when you are getting an incoming call. Storage is needed to temporarily store data as constant streaming would consume battery. Location allows for a more personalized experience.

fred wolfe April 15, 2017

I like this app if it worked driving down the road. Works well while sitting at work or home. Has a connection error after every song. Pandora doesn't do this.. update. . Uninstalled this app. Done trying to keep it working. . Stops after every song

Jango.com May 2, 2016

That sounds like a problem with your data connection. Please contact Jango Support using the Contact/Help button in the app's settings tab so we can help you try and improve your connectivity.

Dana Quin March 3, 2017

Can you make this app with offline listening? It'll be cooler if you do it!! Please!! For some people like me would be easier because I wouldn't have to spent my data too much. So we can like the songs and that songs will be saved for later listening without having to charge it again

kashif sajjad March 31, 2017

Why the hell does it need access to my photos..?? And you cant get rid of notification bar when you want to pause the music.. and it doesn't pause when you make calls through voice command...!!! Guys get these issues fixed ...

Carla Burrell February 7, 2017

I have loved this app for years. However, you suddenly changed the volume control and gave it a seperate control than the control of the phone and headset. Brilliant except you didn't make us aware. I found out after reading other ratings here to see if anyone else suddenly had the same trouble. Everyone is not going to do that.

Jango.com February 7, 2017

Make sure that the volume slider at the bottom of the player screen is all the way to the right. That volume works separately from the general volume controls. If that is not your case then please try restarting the device.

banta savrait khanda June 15, 2017

Please make the songs sound louder. When I play my music files from power mp3 they sound really loud and good. But Jango makes the songs play very low even if the audio quality is set to high. Any fix for this? Edit : That fix you mentioned worked. I feel like an idiot. Thanks. Rated 5 stars.

Jango.com June 14, 2017

The volume should be equal to your music files. Make sure that the volume slider at the bottom of the player screen is all the way to the right. That volume works separately from the general volume controls. If that is not your case then please try restarting the device. Wait at least ten seconds before turning the device back on.

Bev Bamlett April 2, 2017

Stops after every song. I had one great evening then that was it. Won't play longer than a few minutes. Connection error.

Anita Sheehy April 9, 2017

I love jango but the app keeps stopping and it displays a message saying could not connect to port 80 at 1000 mps something like that. Then it says retry or cancel When this happens the app stops working properly won't change song or station. Happens sometimes every few seconds its so annoying and I will probably have to delete the app :( tried uninstalling and reinstall and reset my phone still didn't help

February 4, 2017

This app COULD be great, however for some reason on my phone (samsung galaxy s5) it keeps stopping after almost every song, and if i restart the playlist it will play the same songs over and over. Kinda slow too, but a brilliant idea IF it worked...

Jango.com February 5, 2017

Diana Economopoulos May 17, 2017

I'm having issues since the last update. For done reason it doesn't play . my list of stations show up but it keeps asking to retry and won't play. HELP!

Jango.com May 17, 2017

Please try logging out and back in. Contact Jango Support if the problem continues after that.

Carlos Banuelos April 27, 2017

Pandora who??? Need music but dont want to deal with tons of commercials or monthly fees?? Jango is it. People are always telling me how great "my" playlists are, since they dont hear commercials and thinks its my music library. Thanx jango

Tommy Dozier February 11, 2017

I don't understand how hip-hop music gets played while I'm listening to Black Sabbath artist radio. It's a recurring thing, too. Not just every now and then.

Little Tokyo:Re March 21, 2017

Whenever I try sign into a account or make an account with a new email it keeps saying that there is an error and to try again. I uninstalled and reinstalled but that issue hasn't resolved. I really loved this app in the past and would love it more with the new updates.

Guy Toledano April 30, 2017

The app is very nice. I use it for a while. But last updates make it annoying with request permission and privileges that it should not get. Such as location and others. I saw their comments here that they need it for ADs. There other way to achieve it.

Jango is available in most countries. We use your general location to serve ads that are more relevant in your state or country.

I love the platform. There is a problem with the app though. Whenever I try to login with Facebook it produces an error message. Tried reinstalling the app but it keeps doing the same thing. Running it on Huawei P9 lite. A fix would be appreciated.

Jango.com March 14, 2017

What does the error message say?

Perry DeLuca April 1, 2017

I can't log on any more even when I reinstalled it. Keeps give error retry... have had Jango for years!

I create a station with the music I want to listen to and all I get is music. I rejected. Why bother creating channel lists if you can't get the music you want. This is not my first issue with Jango. Screwed it up with update. No more second chances. Uninstalling for good.
