My favourite is the laser game but I think if you could add more games, like one where you either jump or duck over lasers , we would really enjoy! This game is the best,keep going! ### 4/5 — Overall great with some bumps *2025-12-01, version 3.11* I’ve been desperately searching for awhile now for something to get me motivated to workout, as I really want to be healthier but I absolutely hate exercise so it’s very hard for me to get motivated. This app has done the trick, it has been more consistently motivating than anything else I’ve ever tried. The games are genuinely fun and I love trying to beat my high scores. However, casting to a larger screen is a must, as many of the games need you to stand far away so that your whole body is in frame and its practically impossible to see what’s going on on the phone screen from that distance. The app is also pretty glitchy, it freezes and stutters often, especially when I’m casting to another screen. The motion tracking is also hit or miss; it tends to be either way too sensitive or hardly pick up your motion at all. But I guess that’s to be expected when it’s just using your phone camera and no special equipment. Overall, it’s a great free app despite the hiccups and I plan to keep using it. ### 2/5 — Poor app. Great game choices *2025-11-23, version 3.11* I played the music game slash mode, and expected fun, but ended up with my device constantly lagging out. No matter how hard i tried, it played the stupid music, and wouldnt stop lagging out my device. Would not try if your apple device is lagging. Also, the other games crashed the app ### 4/5 — Got it just for the Starri demo (Superhits) and it’s pretty fun *2025-11-16, version 3.11* While different from the original Starri, Superhits is still a very fun rhythm game. The other games in here also look entertaining. I’ll most likely get Starri as soon as possible. Cool game. Would recommend. ### 4/5 — جهاز تابلت هونر ريدمي se *2025-11-16, version 3.11* اتمنى تحديث التطبيق عشان يشتغل في الاجهزة بعد تحديثها ماصار يشتغل في تابلت بنتي التطبيق رائع يساعد الاطفال انهم يتحركو وكانهم يتمرنو لكن ما رضي يتحمل في تابلت بنتي بعد تحديث التابلت ### 5/5 — It is too good *2025-09-09, version 3.11* I love it ### 5/5 — Very awesome and fun *2025-07-17, version 3.11* I love this app the arcade thing it’s so cool and I think it’s very like cool.
