2023-07-16	Jacobi Stein	Bro you want $7.99 a WEEK to play a phone game??? I wouldn't even pay that much for the best AAA game on the market let alone for a mobile game. I'm also not watching a 30 second ad everytime I lose and no technically it's not a 30 second ad but it's 3 separate Xs you have to tap which all take about 10 seconds each to show up. The games cool and I'd be willing to pay a one time remove ads charge but hell no I'm not paying a weekly subscription to it lmao
2022-07-16	Brooke Pearson	Game is okay, but I don't like the lack of original singers. Yes, there are some that have the original singer, (Dance Monkey, How You Like That, etc) but some of my favorites like Thunder, Believer, and Wake Me Up are just bad covers of the actual songs. If you can't get the actual music, don't put the song in the game. I had to uninstall because I hated it. This is probably not a common opinion but it's infuriating. I don't really like the ads on the sides, but you don't have to watch too many
2019-11-26	A Google user	It's definitely a good idea, but not well executed. Of course, no one likes ads, and I hate to say it but that has made my opinion a little more critical. My main concern is that the video and audio are not synched. I followed the beat and lost anyway. Even closed my eyes keeping right on the beat when it was just quarter notes and it didn't turn out.
2019-11-08	A Google user	It's fun, but there's literally an ad when you want to do anything at all. Update for dev response: I understand that. However, the amount of ads run feels excessive and detracts from the experience. It makes it feel like a low effort cash grab kind of game, like the half-arsed get rich quick type of games that already flood the marketplace. Perhaps if implemented in a different way, it wouldn't feel that way, but as is I essentially watched an ad for every 1.25 stages I played.
2019-09-27	A Google user	The game is good in concept but they basically want you to pay for anything good, they spam the heck out of you with millions of ads, and the worst part is the game itself is terrible. The music isn't synced with the rhythm and as someone who's done music for years and is used to tapping along the beat its incredibly difficult to not tap on the beat. If they did the game correctly it would've been a great game but whoever made it just didn't do a good job.
2019-09-23	A Google user	Great selection of music. Missing a single note ends your song and forces you into ads. This completely ruins the game. I don't mind as in a free game but the amount of ads is insane. Suggestion for the developers. Let me finish the song no matter how many notes I miss. I get a lower score but I get to enjoy the music and see the whole song uninterrupted to be better prepared to replay it for a higher score. There is no incentive to purchase a VIP access if I can't play the complete songs.
2019-09-20	A Google user	Game design is great fun and engaging. The amount of ads is disgusting, to the point of almost unplayable. While I understand that some level of ads are necessary for a free game, this game beats you over the head with them. Alongside an optional subscription service and an option to pay to remove ads. Yes developers need to be paid for the hard work they put in. But if you feel you need to show me an ad after every oops or song clear to get paid maybe free download wasn't the way to go for this
2019-08-06	A Google user	the music adjustment helps with latency issues but still tends to pull away from the actual tempo. i.e. setting the adjustment to -8ms put it perfectly in time for the first part, but was out of time again by the end of the song. also, some of the rhythms are incorrect even considering the progressive difficulty (Tetris made me quit due to the inaccuracy) .
2019-07-24	A Google user	ok I love this game. it's very entertaining and I love how you can input your own songs. I ran into an issue with the play your own song feature though: everytime I fail, it leaves it in a perpetual loading screen and won't let me back into the game. I wasn't gonna complain because it was giving me free gems, but it's happening everytime I fail and I have to close the app and reopen it to fix it. I understand the Play your own song feature is in Beta so I figured I'd say something about it.
2019-07-18	A Google user	The songs are pretty good, but some of them have extra beats where there shouldn't be and a lack of beats where there should be. Lots of ads, which I would absolutely pay to not have. Until you realize that the VIP subscription is THE MOST OVERPRICED THING IN THE APP STORE. Seriously? $7.99... A WEEK? I would pay $5 once to remove the ads, and even that is a higher price than most other apps. That is my biggest complaint. Until this price drops: there is one less person playing this.
