Jooki | Music & Stories Player for KidsReviews of jooki.com

It went from brilliant (we had the original jooki which eventually broke so I purchased the second generation for my second child, had no issues and it's still working) to the company apparently not existing anymore! I went to purchase more tokens and cannot find the website anywhere, after having seen reviews on here it seems like they have stopped the business? I

A kids player whose marketing team has kids, but who's engineers most certainly don't. Playlists only work on Wifi and downloading an MP3 of the songs you want is nearly impossible. Like children crying in their stroller because they can only listen to their beloved jookie within walking distance of their router? This is the player for you!

Comment faire pour rester la jooki ?

I just got a jooki 2 and the initial impression of the packaging, web site etc are very good. Then come the hurdles. 1. To set it up the first time you are obliged to have, in my case, an android phone, download their app. up to here not so strange. the strange part is where you will have to register and give some of your data to them. Without this you can't use the product at all. It gets worse. Then you need to give location permissions and only then you can configure the wifi on the product.. Yes the wifi. So after you connect with bluetooth you need to configure the Wifi. this wifi is one of your choice but typically the one from your home. this means again, that you give access to your home wifi to an unknown box that does an unknown number of things. then...you need to connect with your phone to the same wifi network where the jooki box is and only then you are allowed to interact with the product. In summary: without wifi it doesn't work. (forget about hidden Wifi, forget about VPN's you might have, forget about security in general). The USB cable is not used to connect to a PC at all. it's really just for charging and nothing else. 2. The reason it get a 2 star instead of a one star is the fact that once you get it working properly, and you're able to send the MP3 files (you can also use spotify, which I didn't want) it's really easy to use and the sound quality is not so bad. 3. to get to the 3 star at this point everything must be fully ok...it's not. the orange buttons only work if you rotate them fully. for this you need a certain strength and dexterity. so my 3 year old son is completely frustrated and sad because he keeps rotating the knob but never enough for it to work. 4. The figurines are ok, the material is soft to the touch and are relatively easy to fit in the music slot. Overall construction looks solid although I haven't put it much to the test because as I mentioned my son is really sad that the buttons are not usable. Suggestion to jooki. Please really improve on the connection method of this product. I'm not exactly illiterate (I'm an IT engineer) and I didn't find it user friendly at all.
