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!!!

Jango rocks! No ads. I am not sure if it chews into your data or what service providers have deals to limit it hitting your data limit, but I don't care. I mainly use it to stream ambient music to work to. Other music services will bombard you with ads right when you are hitting your groove or getting in the zone on a project, but Jango keeps playing with no interruptions and lets you focus. For me, the lack of ads is critical when trying to get work done.

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.

I think this app will be supper cool with a DOWNLOAD BUTTON trust me, we don't want a situation like if i find myself a good song and I probably want the song I don't have to write it down then go again google it and open various sites just to download it when I can hit the download button Jango radio app... But I like every thing, the fade effect when you hit next, the station selection everything but add the DOWNLOAD BUTTON please

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.

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!

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.

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.

Arlynn Wildeman March 4, 2017

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.

With the end of Pandora in Australia looming I have been looking for a replacement and have found it with Jango. Its as close as i can get. Drawbacks - cannot find some artists to add to my station (mainly australian musicians). Adding artists took me a few minutes too work out and cannot name my station. A recommendation i would like to make is to add a function to able to shuffle play across my multiple stations.

Jango.com July 15, 2017

Please use the Contact/Help button in Jango's settings screen to email us and let us know what artists you would like us to add to our catalog. We have taken note of your other suggestions and hope to implement them in the future.

Justin Borthick July 7, 2017

The best music free streaming app out there. May not be able to search specific songs, but that's okay. You can personalise each playlist to play more what you want to hear. This is a great app, and I am excited to see what else is offered in the future. Good job!

Christina Franklin April 26, 2017

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.

Try logging out and back in. If you continue to have issues, please contact Jango Support by using the Contact/Help button in Jango's settings screen.

Alyssa Guerra July 4, 2017

Ever since the update it won't let me listen to any songs or search for anything. I use to love this app. Every since the last reiew I still can't log in it keeps saying error I ajve tried to install it again and eve changed the password but nothing is working

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!

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.

Mike Gradel July 5, 2017

Once I create a station and add artists, the station name becomes cumbersome, with the name of the station showing several artists ' names, followed by the word "mix". I can't see a way to edit the actual name of the station I have created. Pandora lets you edit the station name. Jango should provide the same option. Would be much cleaner if I could rename my station with a 2 or 3 word phrase, like "my mix" etc.

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.

mark moss July 11, 2017

Like the app when it works. But when it does not it is a pain. It just keeps timing out over and over. Until........ Who knows when. It happens to connect in days sometimes, others longer. I do not have any data saving or firewall. I am using wifi. It happens on my phone and tablet all other apps work fine so it should not keep happening.

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

Jango.com February 14, 2017

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.

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?

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?

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.

Leslie W March 8, 2017

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!!

Jango.com December 12, 2016

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.

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.

Annalisa May 4, 2017

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

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 ...

Paul D June 29, 2017

I like this app in principle. Some major reservations though. When phone rings music does NOT stop. It's infuriating! Especially if phone has locked itself. Can't even unlock it to stop or pause music. Always lose the call,because caller cannot hear you over music. Also would be nice to search by name of song.

Jango.com June 29, 2017

The issue with the phone is unusual. Please try restarting the device. If the problem continues then please try reinstalling Jango. Make sure you allow the permission to detect phone activity.

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.

Dee A February 23, 2017

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.

Jessica Kuchenmeister April 10, 2017

DO NOT GET THIS APP UNLESS YOU HAVE LAN/WIFI!! I thought I would be able to use this like Pandora, on the go. It absolutely NEVER works unless I am connected to Wifi or LAN. When on 4G, it constantly stops every 5 seconds and crashes 'losing' connection to Jango. I can stream IHeartRadio and other radios just fine, but Jango refuses to work on 4G. UPDATE: I have checked background usage, restarted phone and redownloaded app. Other streaming apps work just fine, Jango stopped as soon as I accepted permissions. Frustrating!!

Jango.com April 7, 2017

Jango should work fine also on cellular data. Do you have battery or data saving apps or settings turned on?

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.

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

July 15, 2017

Great when it works. No commercials, user friendly, free. Very glitchy and buffering. Long pauses between songs when I'm trying to run and trying to not hear to hear my feet.

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

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.

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.
