I don’t know if any of you have used the app, jacket.FM. But I hear that people are having trouble getting into it today. I have also been hearing that the developer plans to close it down and make a different app. I have heard someone say on a zello channel that people are having trouble getting into their accounts. And I am having the same issue. So I am beginning to wonder if it’s finally busted. Have any of you that use the app have the same issue?

So I don't know what infrastructure the dev is using but if he is using anything by google cloud, cloudflare, or any of amazon's cloud infrastructure, I've heard they were all having issues and still are from what I gather. If it is gone, what a shame.

I just logged in less than five minutes ago and stuff was posted within the last thirty minutes as of 7:00 US Eastern time.

I see. They must’ve fixed it because when I tried it was like 4:00 pm eastern time. So they must have fixed it shortly after I made this post. The reason I thought it was going away was because all the talk I’ve heard about the developer planning on closing it. There’s a lot of talk about that up there

I didn't realize what was going on. and I haven't used the app for a while, but I was wondering why I haven't been getting any notifications. Tried logging in and nothing. turns out that the app is gone. Went to the app store page from my purchases and the app is gone.

I was experiencing the same problem a couple days within logging in it would just pop up with an error message, then I was finally able to login, but now that I’m logged in everything‘s completely blank you can’t do anything whatsoever within the profile tab, the library tab, the record tab, the current tab and the 4U tab. Everything is just blank as well for the messages and notifications. So I’m able to login now, but it’s unusable.

Well that didn't last long. I went to the website itself and here's what I found: Jacket.fm

Earlier, I was experiencing problems with logging in as I’ve been, but I did contact the developer within my problem. He said that it was not intentional, and I just logged in again because it kept logging me out, and everything seems to be working again with being able to access Your channels, viewing your profile and so on. Earlier, though I was having problems. But as I said, it seems to be fixed at least for right now.

Welp jacket won't be the same again. The one thing that really set this app apart was to be able to record, and go live, now that you can't ' upload anything anymore, it's lost it's value. Thanks to a certain blindy who messed it up for the rest of us! I said what I said and I don't care if said person sees this or not. To the dev, thank you, thank you for all the hard work you put into this app, thank you for listening and making our ideas come to life with your app, thank you for being transparent and keeping us in the loop. Thank you, for being, you! You don't see devs like this much nowadays and if you do, vary far and few!

Yeah, I completely agree with you, it’s a shame that a certain individual had to ruin everybody’s experience, the app had a lot of potential, and yeah, It definitely won’t be the same when being able to record and go live anymore, I feel as it’s kind of a good thing that his new audio invite app that he’s working on currently will be only invite only, maybe this is the best approach, but yeah, it’s unfortunate that a certain individual had to ruin everyone else’s experience.

it is unfortunate that it had to go, and I don’t want to blame anyone, but people in general need to watch themselves when using these apps because it could spoil other people‘s experiences with it. We should learn to be on our best behavior one on these apps. I’m not calling out any single person here, I’m just saying in general.
