I didn't realize, for example, what it meant when the heart would glow green and then white and then cycle between red, and then all lights turned off. Out of the box, it couldn't be less clear. After several days, you can begin to understand the lights' blinking language. The device has multiple lights on the front in the form of the Jooki logo, side dots and a button with a heart on it. The Jooki Player's physical design is great for durability, but that same minimalism is tough for usability. The heart button turns the device on and off, while the knob on the left skips tracks and the knob on the right controls the volume. There are some redeeming qualities about the speaker, but I think it makes more sense to point out its missteps first. Some of that is due to how Spotify allows devices to connect to its service, but not all of it. But it's not as straightforward as it may seem (or could be), and that's what's most frustrating. On the whole, Jooki Player is a fine product. Frustrating app experience and sometimes lacking instructions.Convoluted process to link a token to a Spotify playlist.Can connect to Spotify for an extended library of songs.Easy to hold speaker with knobs geared toward children.Even plugged in for some time, it would turn itself off going through the setup process, making it unclear what the problem was, whether it was power, connectivity or a number of other potential issues.Īfter a successful connection and two firmware updates, the experience of using the speaker felt very lackluster. This time, the Jooki Player stumped my daughter and me right out of the box. Usually, when I test out kids' toys or devices, I help one or both of my kids set them up and then I let them use the product on their own for a while to observe it in the wild, so to speak. The problem here isn't its appearance-it's that the speaker is actually confusing to use, for both kids and adults.
Plus, at launch, it comes in an attractive blue and orange colorway. This second-generation Jooki Player from the company is easy to hold with minimal buttons. If the task was to create a fun-looking speaker for young kids, then Jooki understood the assignment.
