### 4/5 — Needs more sound options

*2017-10-13, version 1.2.0*

This is a very well made game and it’s very fun and user friendly. The single complaint I can make is that it is sometimes hard to hear the sounds of certain objects in some situations. A menu option made to adjust the volume of music and effects separately would be a great improvement to sound options so far.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2017-10-11, version 1.2.0*

One of my favorite apps! I would definitely recommend it for anyone who is bored. I love the music, and would you consider adding a Ragtime Mode please?

### 5/5 — Fun little thing

*2017-10-09, version 1.1.1*

I particularly appreciate the way it keeps track of high score: an unusually good run doesn't make my high score impossible to beat later. :)

### 5/5 — Simple and Addicting

*2017-09-16, version 1.1.1*

They added new items and sounds! Woot! We could always use more though. 😁
The game could also use another mode or two. 
Besides the fact that I want more content, the game is awesome. I haven't had bugs or anything of the sort so far.

### 4/5 — Awesome Game But..

*2017-09-16, version 1.1.1*

I love this game personally but there are a couple areas that are lacking. It takes way too long to unlock different items later in the game because the bar fills up extremely slowly. That is my only problem with the game, other than that I love it! Praying for some new game modes!!

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2017-09-09, version 1.1.0*

Like the beat and fun game

### 4/5 — Great game!

*2017-09-07, version 1.0*

This is an awesome game that's super fun and has endless potential... only problem is that there's no more sets to unlock! After getting them all, it feels almost pointless to play the game, and when I do play there's not as much intensity. I loved collecting the items and unlocking the sets, and would love more of them! With that said it's still an awesome, fun game that is great for passing time.

### 4/5 — Fun game, new updates!

*2017-09-07, version 1.1.0*

Fun addicting game. Never really gets frustrating like others and almost no pay to win stuff. Great job with new updates!

### 4/5 — Cool

*2017-09-07, version 1.1.0*

Fun

### 5/5 — Great game

*2017-09-07, version 1.1.0*

I got this game because I have an iPhone 4 and there aren't many games I can play, but I can say I don't regret it. I go to high school and I use this game as a time passer when I'm bored this and 99 problems another good would definately recommend. PS: it doesn't require wifi to play

### 5/5 — Great game 그것을 사랑해

*2017-09-05, version 1.1.0*

Really enjoyable, love the music. Super addicting

### 5/5 — Game that makes you dance!!

*2017-09-05, version 1.1.0*

The game is simple but it makes you play until your out of battery haha because everything about this game is great and i just love it❤️❤️,only one thing can u make sound volume of some things a little higher like when you smash watermelon ,pink cake , old game controller etc........

### 4/5 — Love it but have a glitch.

*2017-09-04, version 1.1.0*

So, I absalutely love this game. The music is top notch, and the gameplay is great. Howeavor, I have a glitch with the music, Everything is set back about one second. Hit an object, one second later, you hear the noise. If you could fix this, I would play the new Rock smash game instead of just not playing this amazing game. 
                        ~ Please fix

### 4/5 — Good game but I complaint

*2017-09-01, version 1.1.0*

I really love the game, but I hate how half the objects have the exact same sound.

### 4/5 — Love it- one complaint

*2017-08-31, version 1.1.0*

It's so great it's such a fun game but the claps in the jazz game mode  that foreshadow the things being thrown are more distracting than helpful if you were able to turn them off that'd be nice

### 5/5 — Beautiful game

*2017-08-31, version 1.1.0*

I've been looking for a game like this since forever. Every other game of its type I've gotten bored of, but not this one! Love the new modes they included, can't wait to see what they might add next.

### 5/5 — Saxophone

*2017-08-31, version 1.1.0*

The old sound of saxophone is better than the new one I hop you get back to the old sound place 😔

### 4/5 — Rad game

*2017-08-31, version 1.1.0*

I really like this game. It's fun and it doesn't really frustrate me like other games similar to this one.

### 1/5 — :/

*2017-08-30, version 1.1.0*

The game didnt even work........couldnt tap

### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible

*2017-08-26, version 1.0*

Tried it 20 times you have to wait 10 seconds to restart do not download this app waste of time also don't give the people who made this game money

### 1/5 — Not free

*2017-08-25, version 1.0*

I have no problem with it not being free. I have a problem with it not saying up front that the game cost money or you will watch commercials all through the game. This may be the new 'in' thing to do. Maybe it has to say free or you're suppose to know this commercial interruption happens. First time I have been fooled. Uninstalled immediately.

### 2/5 — Eh

*2017-08-28, version 1.1.0*

Eh

### 2/5 — Opens app store during gameplay

*2017-08-25*

This game is pretty fun and addicting. I would want to rate it 4 or 5 stars but why is it opening the app store to different apps in the middle of a game? There are ads that pop up after you end a round which is fine but its very frustrating to have the app store open while you're playing the game and you end up losing. Please fix this.

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2017-09-06, version 1.1.0*

Decent time killing game. Hopefully more updates to come. I'd like to see random music in endless mode. Alternate between the 3 songs and hopefully more songs to come.

### 3/5 — Cute, but frustrating

*2017-08-26, version 1.0*

This is a fun idea, but it's way too easy to just barely miss the objects. Starting the beat is obnoxiously difficult.

### 3/5 — Simple, fun game but repetitive

*2017-08-26*

This is a fun game with really simple mechanics. Unlocking the new items are exciting at first, but many of the sounds are disappointing and reused. It almost makes it not worth it to unlock more. It would be nice if they let you unlock other jazz tunes to play with after every 50 levels or so, so the gameplay wouldn't dull after awhile. After collecting everything, there's really nothing left to do.

### 3/5 — It was fun, but now what?

*2017-08-24*

I started playing the game and within a couple days I had all the unlockable items/bats. It was fun, but once I had everything unlocked it felt like there was no point to the game anymore. Also, it seemed like the smashing tends to be off the rhythm of the music, which seems odd considering this is such a rhythmic game.

### 4/5 — Great, but a horrible glitch

*2018-07-02, version 1.3.2*

The gameplay is simple but addictive and I’m glad you don’t have to pay to unlock different modes and whatnot. The only problem is a glitch I’ve gotten twice. The game starts lagging in a way, making it very hard to get far at all. It takes a lot of the satisfaction and fun out of it. The first time, I tried closing out the app completely, reinstalling 5 or 6 times, waiting a few days, etc. Nothing fixed it. After about a month I reinstalled it and it worked fine again, but today around the same point I was at it began again. I don’t think it’s a problem with my system as when this happens it doesn’t affect any other apps. If I’m right and it isn’t, please fix this!! I love this game and I’d love it even more if this bug was patched. Thank you :)

### 5/5 — i love u come back

*2021-12-30, version 1.3.2*

this app is great for training rhythm and passing the time. it would be lovely if it was updated with new content. we miss you ❤️

### 5/5 — Sweet and Simple

*2020-08-28, version 1.3.2*

You know what? It’s simple, it lacks content, it’s easy (for now), but it’s got a charm and polish that doesn’t over stay itself. No ads that I’ve seen (maybe a bug?) Just a couple great tunes and some satisfying smashing lol

### 5/5 — Very addictive game

*2020-05-20, version 1.3.2*

Please make an update with speed progression, broken rhythms, drum-n-bass smash and so on ))

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2020-02-22, version 1.3.2*

Simple yet addictive, and the sounds are amazing😃

### 5/5 — Best game

*2019-05-31, version 1.3.2*

This game is very relaxing and relieves my stress, I can't honestly thank you in any other way.

### 5/5 — Great app, few things to improve

*2018-09-28, version 1.3.2*

That’s a very nice app! I love it! But there is a glitch that I found that you need to take care of.. when you open the app, at any time, and go directly to the items store, you can choose any bet that you want. Even if it’s locked. I only unlocked 4 types of bet, but doing this (restart the app and go to items) I can select and use any of them. Another thing is the bar to unlock the items.. it is too slow to collect new ones after you level up. Need to improve the logic on this. And the last is a suggestion. I think you can add a new mini game where we can use both hands (each side of the screen) then the items are send for each side or for both at same time. Haha maybe this idea will work somehow. Congrats dude.. it’s a great and addict game!

### 5/5 — Good, but...

*2018-07-28, version 1.3.2*

I’ve been playing this game for a while now and have been loving it. The only thing that I would change is it needs more content. Maybe if their were events that you that you need to smash some sorts of snow ball or jack o lantern in order to get an event bat. Please consider this. It would just make people want to play the game more, and make it more fun. Thanks for your time!

### 5/5 — Great game if you like tunes that are catchy and fun

*2018-01-28, version 1.3.2*

This game rules! I love the cute and fun stuff you get to smash, and the way the levels progress is also awesome. The gameplay is simpler than most rhythm games, which makes it much more accessible to more casual gamers, but it doesn’t lose any of the fun and satisfaction. 

Is there any way to turn off the clicking sound that plays one beat ahead? My boyfriend pointed it out to me and now I can’t unhear it and the click and adhd are conspiring to make me lose and I’m good at this game so pls help me get back on top 

Godspeed

### 5/5 — Fun to play

*2017-11-08*

I only wish that I could disable sounds that I don’t like.

Addictive.

### 5/5 — Jazzy!

*2017-10-19, version 1.2.0*

Awesome game.  I like to think it improves my rhythm, but mostly I just play because it's quirky and fun.  Looking forward to the new modes!  Also, improvements-wise, would be nice to see how many hits one made when you finally miss a beat..
