Not really interesting as the terms of use state it is intended only for people in the United States.

i mean as an inspiration to make jamulus better... not as an alternative.

I think in terms of niches. In the 2-participant lossless recording category, they might be the best. I haven't tried all the apps similar to Jamulus. I bet most are the best for at least one scenario.

Some tidbits ...
Seems like a do-it-all (incl. video) miracle ... but lots of marketing blurb.
Most testimonies between 2 participants.
Peer-to-peer architecture, so probably affected by the number of participants and obviously the capacity and quality of their internet connections.
Seems based on netjack2 and Jacktrip
Transmits uncompressed full-duplex 48k/16b PCM when you record.
Recording separate tracks for later DAW mixing

Martin Waugh in Scotland has been trying it out and has posted a few videos on Youtube about it. He is a long-time member of the WorldJam community.
