After that, you just have to play a lot to finish just one song, and by a lot, I mean a lot. Or, you can watch ads for songs, which gets slightly annoying over time. An easy way to fix this is by lowering the difficulty curve so you will get more songs. Now, time for my least favorite part. WHY CAN’T I DECIDE WHAT SONGS I WANT TO PLAY??? IDC WHAT YOU THINK I WANT TO PLAY BE LIKE MAGIC TILES 3 I JUST WANT TO PLAY UNITY I HATE THIS STUPID CRATE FEATURE. That’s all. :) Also, I kinda think the special offers are overpriced. Other than all that, it’s really fun with no forced ads (which is nice) ### 4/5 — Good *2025-07-24, version 36.1.4* In my opinion, it is a great game, but the songs aren’t diverse enough. In my opinion. Maybe add songs like Talking In Your Sleep or something like that would make it more diverse in my opinion. IDK ### 4/5 — Love it *2025-07-23, version 36.1.4* I absolutely love this game and spend way too much money on it. My only issue is I’ve got so many songs which I can’t stand stuck in my album. I wish there was a way we could remove the songs we don’t like. Maybe exchange like 10 or 20 for a song we do like? ### 4/5 — It’s Good, but not Great *2025-07-23, version 36.1.4* The game overall is fun and I would recommend, although I think it has way too many ads. Another issue I have is it also lags pretty bad on my IPhone which is a little bit of an older model, the SE gen 3, but pretty fun game with music selection inclusive to all genres. ### 3/5 — Good game but one thing *2025-07-22, version 36.1.4* They ruined the game by adding too many extremes and the extremes are too hard. Also, why do you move up Gangnam Style? That was the starter extreme. ### 4/5 — One of my favorite games only 1 problem though *2025-07-22, version 36.1.4* Even when I just logged into Beatstar it still says watch ad to play song which is frustrating sometimes ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-07-21, version 36.1.3* Awesome ### 5/5 — Too good *2025-07-21, version 36.1.3* I’ve deleted this app 3 times at this point because it controls my life. Redownloading again. Addiction. (This is a very positive review, but yes it’s almost too good). Favorite mobile game ### 4/5 — Replay ability *2025-07-20, version 36.1.3* It’s 2025 remove the limit how much I can play and please make easier to retry outside of that is unbelievable ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-07-20, version 36.1.3* Good game but please add sans theme from Undertale ### 5/5 — Idk *2025-07-19, version 36.1.3* U GUYS ACTUALLY HAVE REALLY GOOD SONGS THIS IS BETTER THAN MUSIC TILES U GUYS SHOULD TOTALLY ADD BACK TO BEING FRIENDS AND UNDRESSED THEY R REALLY GOOD SONGS ### 3/5 — Buggy *2025-07-19, version 36.1.3* Been playing for a couple months now and for the most part, it’s a polished and addicting game. An easy way to pass the time. But the latest season pass has multiple reports of players unable to claim their rewards going on a week or so now and for something that is paid with real money, the lack of updates to fix this bug is disappointing. ### 5/5 — THE BEST GAME EVER 5stars here’s why *2025-07-19, version 36.1.3* Omg I finally found a music game that has Eminem on it, bro cause he’s my favorite and I already done godzilla And all all music but there’s only like four songs, Beatstar can you add more Eminem songs like you can lose yourself not afraid rap God, beautiful but like Juice WRLD songs too like all of them please I’m picking you other than that. It’s a really good game. I recommend this to all of you so yeah, have fun this game peace. ### 4/5 — Great game but one little problem *2025-07-19, version 36.1.3* I love this game and all of the different choices of songs to choose from but, I’ll never understand why games will limit you from playing with “energy” or other forms like that. But this could just be another one of supercell’s ways to drain money out of its consumers. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — more settings please!!! *2025-07-22, version 36.1.3* lowkey would be way better if you could change the note speed and timing. i play a lot of rhythm games like pjsk, bandori, phigros, osu and i always adjust it because the notes are always too slow and my timing is a bit off. also this game is kinda greedy but i don't wanna get into that. ### 1/5 — Forced ad after every attempt. *2025-07-21, version 36.1.3* Game was fun for the first couple of days when there were no forced ads. Today after every attempt I had at an extreme song there was a forced ad. Made it unplayable. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-07-21, version 36.1.3* This app crashes after every single use of a song. I finish the song and it gives me an add, then it freezes. If you’re going to force me to watch more adds after already making me watch some to play the basic game then at least make your app well enough so it doesn’t kill itself after each use. ### 1/5 — Still no updates *2025-07-18, version 36.1.3* They may do “updates” but this game still crashes after trying to play after an obnoxiously long ad…things like the merch boxes also don’t open right and glitch out. Doesn’t really matter tho, those boxes should just stay shut cause they are some of the cheapest most pathetic pieces of content I’ve ever seen in a game. Absolutely useless items in those merch boxes. If you buy those, I feel bad for you. Don’t buy anything in this game. ### 1/5 — The constant freezing and lagging…. *2025-07-16, version 36.1.3* The constant freezing and lagging is more than annoying. Every time I watch an ad to continue playing, after the ad is done playing, it freezes. I used my money to buy diamonds so that I could switch out a song for the Beats Blitz event and it took my diamonds and the song away I paid diamonds to switch. This app is a huge waste of time and it’s scamming people out of their money. Don’t make the same mistake I did… delete this game and save your time and money. ### 1/5 — Too many Ads *2025-07-12, version 36.1.3* Everything requires you to watch an ad and the ads are long sometimes a minute+ and you have to click thru multiple screens prompts to get past it. Then you play another song and have to do it all over again. In the beginning I picked RB and Hip Hop and I get everything but that. I wish I could narrow the field of genres. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-07-11, version 36.1.3* Too many ads and hardly any playing, after the first few hours. ### 1/5 — Lions ate Beatstar face *2025-07-10, version 36.1.3* Ironic that’s it’s an advert for Apple Music that keeps crashing the Beatstar app ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2025-07-10, version 36.1.3* I had a lot of fun on this game for years now they block free players with constant ad walls which severed the immersion and why I found it fun, one or two ads every now and then is okay if even watch an ad for the bonuses but ads after every song I refuse to take part in it anymore. Congratulations on alienating a huge chunk of players bc you felt like you could make more money I hope this game fails along with the pay to play attitude. And don’t respond with “we understand your frustration and this is what we felt best and hope you keep playing”here’s a response if you want us to play make it inclusive not another money grab I’d rather play piano tiles on mute than touch this game again ### 1/5 — Bug in the Ad rewards. *2025-07-07, version 36.1.3* I watch the full AD, hit the >> and wait for the 5 seconds counter to get replaced by the (x) and nice it's not closing, removed the app reinstalled it, signed out signed back in but that (x) is not getting clicked and so I don't have any other options than force close which does not pay me the reward. I tried contacting sipport but for 2 days nobody responded and now all my support msg history is gone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — K-pop demon hunters *2025-07-26, version 36.1.4* I love Beatstar and the songs but they need to add K-pop demon hunters songs it would be perfect🤩 ### 5/5 — awesome and… *2025-07-26, version 36.1.4* this game is so cool and din its my number one game ever cos i love it (: it would be cool if you added more 90s rock music so like Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, PearlJam, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Faith No More. but yea this is a really cool app and i highly recommend for people who love music <3 thankss ### 5/5 — NO ADS *2025-07-25, version 36.1.4* Honestly i dont like I LOVE IT ### 5/5 — Good variety good game *2025-07-25, version 36.1.4* This is a great game compared to others of its kind because it’s just laid out so well and the songs they have are some of my favorites. It doesn’t have a whole bunch of ads that are mandatory but a bunch of optional ads. The only thing I can think of that can be an issue is that when you play for a while than your slots will get filled up so you have to watch a ad every for every song you play unless you unlock unlimited play which has a limited time of use. ### 5/5 — It’s a blast *2025-07-24, version 36.1.4* This is the best ever it’s so gud ### 5/5 — 特别好玩 *2025-07-23, version 36.1.4* 以为又是坑蒙拐骗看广告的，没想到是真家伙 ### 5/5 — Beatstar Review *2025-07-23, version 36.1.4* Fun lil game to just sit down and relax to fr ### 5/5 — Lily *2025-07-22, version 36.1.4* It was so amazing. It was so fun and songs were amazing and it was kind of like easy because I am used to it and it’s really fun thanks B Star eat ### 5/5 — Tuxyaa *2025-07-22, version 36.1.4* I love beat star you can have friends to play with or against love it you should download it. ### 5/5 — Song suggest *2025-07-22, version 36.1.4* I love the app especially since it’s not like others when you have to watch a ad after you lose but maybe you could put in some Melanie Martinez songs --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
