Love these speakers
Love these speakers. I have an iPhone and use the iPhone app to set them up. I agree the the app is not that great, but once you set up the speakers, then just select them from your Airplay list on the iPhone. No need to use the built-in services on the app. Have used with Pandora and streaming Apple Music.Great feature is to group all (or some) speakers together. This allow me to select the group called house (all my speakers are grouped under house) as the Airplay speaker, and the music plays on all the speakers. Control volume for each speaker in the Jam Audio app. Much cheaper than buying new Airplay 2 speakers.The quality is really good on all the speakers. Nice rich sound, for my post-50 year old ears.Also, unfortunately, these (and Rhythm) speakers have been discontinued. The great news is that they are incredibly discounted, so gobble them up. The only real risk I see is that the app may not be supported in future iOS versions. Can still manage them, individually, through their built-in web browsers.

Inexspensive, effective, airplay speaker – great if you use airplay, because airplay is great.
for around $50 this thing is a steal. I’m using it as a single speaker in my bathroom – listening to podcasts in the shower etc…, it’s not for critical listening.It’s compact-ish for the sound it makes and handsome enough, it’s clearly no AirPod, but it’s $50.For an iPhone/mac household the airplay function is really all you need, I try to avoid Bluetooth when I can. It has an AUX port if you’re desperate.I’m very impressed with it at the price, my sole gripe is the maximum volume is WAY too loud, the speakers start giving up at about 80%, above that it turns into a clattering, flapping mess. If you need it that loud, you need something else.To be clear: if this is the nicest speaker in your home, I weep for you. [Please own a stereo people, they’re delightful]I don’t/wouldn’t use the app, or any of the multi-room options. YMMV

Does Not work with Pandora….
My initial review was not so good for the speakers. I have now had the speaker over a year. I even bought more for myself and presents to all my family. I decided to stick with these speakers an find a way to make it work. I canceled my Pandora premium service and got the Spotify premium service. Now I like Spotify better than Pandora and it works on these speakers. The problem with the speakers not playing when I hit the play button happens less often. After reading other reviews today I see there are work-arounds for all the problems. Unless you have thousands of dollars to spend I suggest you buy 4 of these speakers. Get the larger Symphony speaker, it is about the same price as the smaller one and sounds much better.The Speakers and the Application to make them work go hand in hand. The speakers are very good and much less money than the Bose or Sonos, but are useless without a good App to make them work. For all the users of Pandora and Google Play the App does not support them. If you use IHeart or a premium member with Spotify then your good to go. I called the company to ask if they intend to allow Pandora or Google music and they said they have no plans.I have had the speakers for a month. I have four and I connected them in a group. The problem is when I hit play nothing happens 50% of the time. The speakers are connected to WIFI but just will not play. If I unplug the master and then plug it back in it will find WIFI and then Play. This is very frustrating. I called Jam and they have no technical support division.Bottom line is these speakers when found on sale can be a really good deal compared to other options. The BAD is they take some getting used to, Try a few different things and eventually you’ll like them.

Ciertamente que con esta bocina podrás llenar una habitación de sonido, pero la fidelidad obtenida deja mucho que desear; no hay gran calidad sonora tanto en las frecuencias bajas como en las medias, a cualquier nivel de volumen. Escuchando música clásica percibirás más fácilmente lo limitado que es el aparato.La bocina no tiene la calidad de sonido de una: Bose, Yamaha, Sonos, ni siquiera una Sony.La aplicación de “Jam” es demasiado sencilla y no permite hacer gran cosa; Alexa es permitido en inglés mediante el teléfono. Obtienes por lo que pagas a este precio…He comprado, para uso mediante WiFi, la marca Sonos y esta, Jam. La bocina de la primera marca la devolví por su inestable conexión WiFiHasta ahora, nada supera a las buenas bocinas alámbricas conectadas a un buen amplificador. La comunicación mediante WiFi no tiene la estabilidad que se necesita, y no hay bocinas que usen esta tecnología, sean de la marca que sean, que alcancen la fidelidad sonora de las alámbricas.Si buscas calidad sonora y confiabilidad en la señal musical, no las tendrás en esta bocina, y quizás con ninguna que use WiFi, hasta este momento, y menos mediante “Bluetooth”.

So far, dynamite!
