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.

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.

OK the app can be confusing. I thought I lost sounds because of an update i guess I just needed to reconect it ro my Spark live for updates. this thing is so dope. The only thing I really didn't like was the way they market it as a portable plug free amp but go out of their way to make sure you don't see it's batteries not included so that when you go to buy one you have to buy 2 in order to get free shipping. My pet peeve is shady marketing instead of building a trusting relationship.
