### 4/5 — Great but needs to be updated :/

*2020-07-03, version 1.1.2*

I love it but I can’t use it on my device anymore

### 3/5 — One of my most favourite childhood games

*2019-07-20, version 1.1.2*

Now I personally loved the console quality visuals of this puzzle/music game, and I only ever got to try the highest settings once on my old iPhone before iOS 11 came. But now, I lost hope within most developers when they stopped bothering to update to 64-bit architecture, and a lot of gems were lost in the process. In the meantime, I’m gonna have to pray that you guys wipe the dust off this game soon.

### 4/5 — Cool game

*2014-05-21, version 1.1.2*

Could you add infinite mode where there is no crosses no time limit just pure dropchord

### 4/5 — Awsome but!

*2013-12-27, version 1.1.2*

No..never mind...the sound works whenever it feels like!

### 2/5 — Not a beat game.

*2013-11-29, version 1.1.2*

Visuals look great, but this game is really boring. Gameplay has no relation to the music.

### 4/5 — Muy bueno

*2013-11-02, version 1.1.2*

La musica es excelente, de la mejor que he escuchado. 

Es un buen reto y algo diferente a probar.
Por lo poco que cuesta lo recomiendo.

### 4/5 — 리듬게임하고 관계없는 게임

*2013-10-19*

해보면 재미나요. 하지만 리듬게임은 아님다. 리듬에 맞춰서 액션을 하는건 아니구요. 액션을 준다고 따로 소리가 나는 음악게임도 아니에요.
아무도 리뷰를 작성안하길래 혹시 낚여서 구매하는분 있을까봐 적어둡니다.
앱스토어 분류에 낚여서 받긴했지만 게임자체는 재미있고 1달러 아깝진 않을겁니다.
아이폰으로 하시는게 더 편할거애요. 패드는 좀 불편함

### 5/5 — Excelente!

### 1/5 — Not A Rhythm Game

*2013-10-28, version 1.1.2*

This game has nothing to do with the music. You just move lines around and touch dots. Absolutely nothing about going along to the music.

### 5/5 — Yüklenmiyor artık

Çok güzel bir uygulamaydı. Keşke geri gelse güncellense

### 5/5 — I LOVE this game !

*2016-03-31, version 1.1.2*

Coolest most original game ever. Be a techno Jedi master. But eats battery fast.

### 5/5 — Awesome game!!!!

*2015-07-03, version 1.1.2*

I come across this game and figured I might give it a try. After about a few moments waiting for it to download, I proceed to put on my headphones at almost full volume not knowing what to expect. When I entered the app to the menu I immediately started getting the chills. Once I got into the gameplay I was amazed about the outside effects going along with the music as I put a line through a few circles. On my first run I got almost 400,000 points. This game is for anyone and everyone! So if you are reading this, get this game!!!!

### 5/5 — Visually amazing!

*2014-05-23, version 1.1.2*

One of the best looking games available! The gameplay itself is complimented by the awesome visuals this game has, definitely recommended this to anyone wanting to true a new type of game!

### 5/5 — Perfetta!

*2014-03-26, version 1.1.2*

Con una soundtrack così, non ti puoi stancare mai! Bellissimi effetti e belle modalità di gioco! 
10/10

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2014-02-16, version 1.1.2*

This game is not a rhythm game, not at all. 
The music is fantastic and it's visually impressive. The gameplay is interesting and fun but this game is said to be a rhythm game but that is one huge lie. Still good.

### 5/5 — Love the music and gameplay

*2013-12-26, version 1.1.2*

The people who made this are geniuses awesome game and make more games like this.

*2013-11-27, version 1.1.2*

This game is AMAZING although I was a bit worried when it didn't work. I tried it later but I didn't have wifi and it worked, so for now TURN OFF YOUR WIFI TO PLAY DROPCHORD. Please fix this tho :[]

### 5/5 — Fantastic Music Game

*2013-10-19, version 1.1.2*

It might not be long, but it's always fun to play through the amazing soundtrack. The VFX are also mesmerizing.
