Leave a Review Magic Piano
I used to love it...
So I've had this app probably since I was 15 when I first got my iPhone 6, and it was addicting up until now. Okay so last night every single song I have showed 3 stars next to each level of difficulty that I have played at, and just a few minutes ago when I went to open the app, ALL of my songs showed no stars highlighted, no scores, no nothing. Like I just bought them or composed them and haven't even started playing them yet. I am really angry. 😡😡 Also there are just too many ads. 👎🏻 Every ten seconds after I finish a song, a stupid ad pops up about some coloring book or food game and it's really annoying. 😤
Also I really hate how the majority of everyone's favorite songs nowadays can't be played unless you have a VIP membership accessibility. It's ridiculous. I feel that VIP membership to play a song on Magic Piano should be banned, because you know, there are not very many VIP members in the world.
I'm seriously thinking about deleting this app from my phone for permanent. I've not only had to deal with the troubles I stated above, but I've also had to deal with the app freezing up, songs I compose that won't let me publish no matter what I do, and Daily Challenge songs taking decades to load and then refreshing the app only for it to crash every time I reopen it. It's getting really frustrating and I can't take it any longer. 🚫Show less@miggysbiggestfan
AD AND BUG/GLITCH INFESTED APP!!
Used to like the game but maybe if they added an instant replay feature pianist can see where they might have messed up, and also there’s a bug or glitch that makes the songs I purchased with smolda coins via search, the only songs that show up in the “my songs” section is the songs that the app created. It’s really annoying when I can’t play the songs I spent a long time watching ads to get. And also sometimes I sit through a 30-50 second ad and I don’t even get the coins for it, um..... WHATTTTT?!?!?!? I used to really like this game. I played it for hours without any ads and it was fun and enjoyable and all bugs were squashed, but now we have ads around every corner, bug nests everywhere and ads with sexual content, um excuse me but (no offense intended to Smule) who do you think you are?! It’s an app rated 4+ so there should be content that’s appropriate for 4+ aged people. UNACCEPTABLE!! How would you feel, developers of Smule, if your child was playing an app and encounters an ad containing sexual content? I would feel like a bad parent! And if more and more people feel the app makes them feel like bad parents, they’ll delete the app and you’ll loose money! Then what will you do? Just think about that.Show lessAlcrex0260

Great if you love ads
Great skills game & the variety of shorts/free play rotation was quite good before recent updates. Don’t know how many songs there are in the ‘library’. But it was so good to play I got friends to get it too! Sometimes the patterns don’t match up with the audio and it’s unclear if you’re supposed to tap when the patterns are on the line or have passed the line, but that could be those composed by others?
There’s categories but there are ineffective filters (for example - just have to scroll through everything; can’t find a list of ‘purchased’ songs; can’t remove songs in languages I can’t read from the song selections).
We considered buying because there are waaaaaay too many ads (2-3 beginning and end of every song) and even if you just reselect a song you have to watch the ads all over again. Just can’t justify the heavy slug in the wallet for that. More likely to delete & look elsewhere.Show lessMushroomring
Too many Ads now! Poor song selection
I'm finally irritated enough to write this review. This use to be my favorite app, hands down. So fun and included challenges and current music. However, now there are so many ad disruptions. Playing a new tune, first an ad....playing a song you have already paid for, first an ad.... playing a free song made by another user, first an ad. It's ridiculous. Now, I barely play it, unless I have time and patience to sit through five ads in less than ten minutes. Total sell out move, btw Smule. I wouldn't mind buying it, but a monthly fee is charged with an auto subscription, or you have to sign up for a slippery trial offer. Not a good deal.
Also, there use to be new songs made by Smule that were free. Now, it's the same songs over and over made by different users-Chasing Cars, Gravity Falls Theme, Hokage's Death, Hallelujah, What a Wonderful World.....seriously! It's been those songs for at least a year now. Change it up a bit and I don't mean different Smule user composers. That comes off pretty cheap and makes me wonder what I would get from allowing you to charge my card every month if I signed up.Show lessAshlish
Greed ruined it!
I used to play this game daily and even upgraded to the VIP subscription. I haven't played for about two years and on rediscovery, I did plan to do exactly the same now- it's a great game and very therapeutic to a music lover like me. However, on navigating the updated app before I dived in, I decided to poke a little deeper. I realised that Smule has become so utterly riddled with ads that the joy has been sucked out of the game and across the brand. Free songs are simply NOT FREE if you have to sit through the same unskippable ads again and again just to play them (or replay them) and don't earn anything. Particularly if you are travelling or on data. Plus, subscription has gone up from £5.99 per month to around £20???? It seems to me that Smule has become motivated only by profit and greed, not any
kind of customer satisfaction and thus, it has fallen into the same trap as many long-standing app providers- bullying customers into premium subscriptions through frustration at a constant barrage of interruptions. For this reason alone, I elect to abandon the brand and take my hard-earned money elsewhere to games providers with some sort of conscience! I suggest that anyone else who wishes to encourage platforms to clean up their greedy behaviour and improve the customer experience should do the same. Disgraceful! We should not be shoehorned into supporting these aggressive money-grabbing brands.Show lessPlatinumQ
Fingers too big?
So I've only had the app for a couple of hours and I signed up for the free seven day trial. I love the selection of songs, and I played a couple on easy mode and thought they were quite fun. But if I change the difficulty above easy, there are times when I'm asked to hit three notes at once. The two dots off to the right are so close together I can't hit them both at the same time. I put my two fingers together as tightly as possible and tap the screen and it's only registering that I'm hitting one of the dots. I don't have big hands, I'm a woman of average height and average weight so my fingers are not chubby or unusual in any way. I feel like I am missing something. Like there Nice to be an obvious solution then I'm just not noticing. Especially because I don't see anyone else complaining about this problem. Maybe there should be settings I can change to make the dots a little bit further apart so that my fingers can hit them, but I don't see anything like that anywhere. So I really like the song selection and I like the concept of the game and the sound is very nice, so I would give it a higher rating if I could actually Play it above easy. Until I figure out what's wrong and how to fix it this app is useless to me.Show lessJen Reeves
Enjoyable but impossible to buy new songs
I really enjoy this app and it’s definitely a boredom buster when you can’t think of anything else to do.
There is one major thing that really pisses me off though but is also a positive at the same time. This is earning Smoola to then exchange for new songs. The fact this app has ways of earning Smoola is excellent as tbh it’s very difficult to gain Smoola via levelling up and etc - especially when you’re at a high level and it takes a lot more XP to level up. However, the thing that REALLY lets this app down is when you watch a video and you don’t get your Smoola in exchange. I didn’t waste 30 seconds of my time to not gain my reward as a result of watching so this is certainly a bug that needs fixing as it is highly infuriating.
Otherwise, a good app and I love the new composer feature as it has enabled me to play more of my favourite songs rather than being restricted to Smule’s library formerly.Show lessabbs 🙈✨
Ads ads and just ads
I remember when this app had no ads at all but now in the new updates, more and more ads started to appear and it's starting to pee me offLucas Collins
My kid enjoys this
My daughter plays this all the time and she absolutely loves this, she's only 3 so when I'm getting ready I'll set her up with this app and she's good until we leave.dry once
