### 1/5 — A mess

*2026-08-01, version 1.4.4*

Mess

### 1/5 — Barely works

*2026-07-18, version 1.4.4*

Bad, glitches all the time and VIP members get 100x the stuff the free players get.

### 2/5 — Code

*2026-07-13, version 1.4.4*

It ask me for a code Everytime I download the game pls fix because I wanna play it

### 2/5 — Game is great but…

*2026-07-11, version 1.4.4*

The game is the most advanced music simulator I’ve played. The amount of stuff you can do is great and the game feels really smooth to play. The problems start with the moderators and label system. The labels are pretty much all scams. Just people with multiple accounts taking money from the whole label and not promoting anyone else and very few people have been able to make a label and it is ESSENTIAL to chart u less you wanna pay $$$. The mods are also players in the game, so as you can image they are more interested in boosting themselves than helping people. It’s strange to say but the game almost feels “corrupt”. The mods are also pretty bad with support, they take ages to reply and when they do it’s short answered that don’t really help, then they close your support ticket for no reason even tho the issue isn’t resolved. They are also very unprofessional and say things like “omg” when I’m trying to get my game fixed the mods using slang really doesn’t fill me with hope. Overall great game ruined by its users/ rules set by the developer. The mods need to be non-players or they need to be limited (e.g mods can’t chart) and labels need to be an open option to all as it’s just a system that’s being abused.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-05-31, version 1.4.0*

Game is broken + tanked + cheaters

### 1/5 — bye

*2026-05-31*

$ to win

### 4/5 — Great

*2026-03-29, version 1.3.5*

The app is great I just think there should be more ways to get yours song across the world instead of just playlists and radio and we should be able to market our albums and market our songs and should be granted more freedom about albums we should able to drop when ever we want too and I canceled my 3 album deluxe and it deleted the album It  also deleted my ep after I tried to do a deluxe for it so now everything is just singles

### 4/5 — Great

*2026-03-15*

The app is great I just think there should be more ways to get yours song across the world instead of just playlists and radio and we should be able to market our albums and market our songs and should be granted more freedom about albums we should able to drop when ever we want too

### 1/5 — bad

*2026-03-13*

1/5

### 1/5 — Unfair

*2026-03-13, version 1.3.5*

This game is really unfair it caters to a group of people which makes the experience very terrible. You doo all that work to try to get on charts but there is a group of people who can have everything they want whenever they want. It’s very unfair and unless you want to waste your life just to get fked over go ahead and play this game🫶🏻

Beats — New Platform

Beats is the music video streaming platform in the game. Every 3 hours, a new slot resets and every eligible artist receives streams based on their stats.

Your base depends on two things: your Spins and your Audience. The more spins and audience you have built up, the more streams you earn per slot.

Featured is the competitive leaderboard on Beats. You can place Beats (tap the button when it lights up) and bid Energy to climb the ranking. The top 10 on the leaderboard get a direct boost to their next slot's streams.

When the button lights up, you have under 2 seconds to tap it. Every Beat you place adds points to the Featured leaderboard (1 Beat = 250 points). Energy bids add on top of that. Your rank is determined by the combined score of both.

Every reset, 20 songs are picked to go viral and show up in the Trending section on the Home tab. If your song goes viral, it receives a +50% stream boost in the following slot.

Your song needs to be sent to radio first. Without that, it won't appear on Beats or in Featured.
