### 1/5 — So many errors!

*2026-07-26, version 26.1.3*

My daughter just recently turned eight years old, and I was excited to share with her the just dance experience… Unfortunately, it seems like this app is riddled with errors. We get disconnected from the game regularly and nothing‘s worse than doing good on the song and having to start all over when you’re exhausted. Why is the connectivity so terrible? If this is going to be the controller by which the game is played, you would think that they would make it pretty stable… but they did not hence the one star. Makes me feel like trying to play this game is a complete gamble. Will it work? No idea… I guess let’s try. 

Love this game! Wish it worked without failing like every 3 songs.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-21, version 26.1.3*

The app doesn’t connect to the game so I’m unable to play

### 1/5 — The game won’t let me play the game. Just dance, why are you turning so evil?

*2026-07-19, version 26.1.3*

This game is making excuses about my Internet when I have full Internet. When I did the QR, it didn’t allow me to play the game. That even goes to the code, what a waste of time to play this game. No wonder it’s rated 2 stars. Fix this Internet thing or you’ll never get five stars.

### 5/5 — CONNECT TO 2G WIFI ON PS5 AND PHONE

*2026-07-08, version 26.1.3*

Do that and it’ll let you connect I tried it after not being able to

### 1/5 — It works but feels like a weekend project from 10 years ago

*2026-07-07, version 26.1.3*

The UI looks outdated too

### 1/5 — scam!

*2026-07-05, version 26.1.3*

stole all my tokens and kept freezing

### 1/5 — Dumb

*2026-07-03, version 26.1.3*

This is the worst app I have ever owend this is awful sorry …

### 1/5 — Disaster of a game - Avoid

*2026-07-03, version 26.1.3*

Do not buy. The controls are meaningless and idiotic. The game is useless because of it

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-29, version 26.1.3*

It keeps telling me I’m not connected to the same Wi-Fi when I clearly am don’t recommend this app Would give it no stars if I could
