### 4/5 — 렉 해결

*2026-04-16*

렉걸리시는 분들 저지연 오디오 한번 꺼보시기 바랍니다. 저는 일단 그렇게 해결했습니다.
이벤트가 노가다고 최적화도 별로지만 수록된 노래가 전부 좋네요.

### 2/5 — そろそろ直して欲しい

*2026-04-05*

トラックリストモードで、背景とロックアイコンが同色になるため判別できません

ロックマークにアウトラインを付けるだけで解決するレベルの話ですが、いつになったら直るのでしょうか？

### 3/5 — iPhoneにはお勧めしない

*2025-04-16*

難易度13付近から多指運用が前提の為、5点以上の同時押しができない機種ではミスを量産しやすい。演出によってノーツが小さくなったり判定線が動いたりする為、AIM/覚えゲーの面が強い。
世界観が気に入ったなら楽しめると思う。

### 4/5 — 신선한 형식의 리듬게임

*2025-01-10*

판정선이 원 모양이고 회전이동한다는 점에서 다른 리듬게임과는 색다른 느낌을 받을 수 있음.
다만 전반적인 완성도는 타 유명 리듬게임만 못 함

### 5/5 — 진짜 오래만에

*2024-12-14*

다시 구매함. 한참 전인데도 노래가 다 기억 나네요. 노래 참 좋음. 치는 방식도 재미있고 리듬게임  진짜 못하는 거북이인데 초보도 쉽게 할 수 있어서 좋았어요.

### 5/5 — 很好玩，但进游戏就像买彩票似的（生气

*2024-07-24, version 2.30.2*

每次看到标那个B水晶转来转去就心烦意乱（到底网的问题还是游戏的问题）

### 5/5 — 喜欢

*2024-07-15, version 2.30.2*

好玩🥹🥹🤲

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2024-07-13*

A music game of great quality. Really worth trying!
I’m willing to keep playing and consuming in it.
What’s more, I’ve been craving for a new chapter of main story for years.

### 4/5 — 希望可以像arc那样开通中国大陆也比较方便的付费方式

*2024-07-06*

一直很想玩lanota来着，但是苦于没有支付方式一直等到了周年本体限免。界面很有特色但是不是很明了，另外判定范围貌似太大了很容易误触导致miss。
我已经p了一首8级谱面了，试玩传说中的stasis感觉也很不错，真正的感受到了本家的瞬移有多么的惊吓（笑

### 3/5 — The worst server

*2024-07-04*

Title.

Прекрасная игра!!

### 4/5 — リザルト画面からNEXTを押すと、ゲームが落ちてしまう

*2024-04-08*

めちゃ神音ゲーで楽しんでいますが、毎回NEXTを押すと、ゲームが100％落ちます。データは残るのですが、致命的に欠陥している部分だと思うので、対応して頂ければ幸いです。

### 5/5 — Parfait

*2024-02-23*

Le jeux est incroyable

### 4/5 — 非常好游戏，使我的盘子旋转

*2024-01-10*

Tolles Spiel und für den Preis schon gut. Doch viele Lieder zu spielen und manche in Main Story Chapters sind fantastisch gut, viele sehr berühmte Lieder von guter Qualität. Und das Spielen ist auch gut, man kann sehen dass die Charts wird immer kreativer. Aber nur zu lange keine neue Geschichte, deshalb 4 Sterne ;D

### 4/5 — Really good with a few misses

*2023-09-19*

Pros: Great gameplay but there are strict flick notes which take time to get used to. Art style is unique and makes the game stand out. Story is basic, but the artwork holds it up. Tons of content at about <$1 USD per song. There’s also a subscription service which is nice to try out, but is expensive in the long run. Cons: The menus are tedious to go through. The highest difficulty is locked at first and requires either grinding boring lower difficulties or paying money to unlock it which is really disappointing. Starlight score is stupid and should be removed. Events are a complete grind fest and and lock limited time songs behind a paywall. Limited time songs shouldn’t even exist; let people buy them after the event ends!

### 5/5 — 感谢lanota陪伴我的七年与四年时光

*2023-09-10, version 2.24.1*

我与你，走出日出光辉之地，一同采撷星光…

### 5/5 — ラノタは本当に素晴らしいです。

*2023-07-15, version 2.23.0*

ラノタは本当に素晴らしいです。画面スタイルはとても癒されます。音楽ゲームとしても上手です。ストーリーもよくできています。

### 1/5 — フリック無反応

*2026-08-01*

前までは普通にできていたのですが、久しぶりにやったら30fpsに変更されてフリックが全部反応しなくなるようになっていおり、まともに遊べなくなっていました。

### 1/5 — 遊戲第一關都玩不了

*2025-07-18, version 3.0.6*

第一關試玩 遊戲自動彈出關了 再試試跳過前段 直接玩 可以玩了 玩到一半沒有聲音 之後沒反應 付款了 完全玩不了 退款可以不？ 付款玩不了！！！

### 1/5 — Broken sound

*2024-04-02*

I used to love this game but after recently downloading it again, the sound doesn’t work at all.

### 1/5 — You owe me 3 starlight score and 1000 stabilized sound.

*2023-04-28*

I was trying to starting grinding through the event just for the game to kick me out when I started the song and take away my starlight score. You do not deserve 5 stars until you fix your game. This is so frustrating

### 1/5 — 게임을 샀는데 시바

*2022-09-30*

스타라이트 때문에 메인 스토리를 진행못하는 개같은 경우가

### 1/5 — Very Predatory

*2022-05-04*

Ive played this game since Chapter 5 came out, so a good couple of years. i dumped a fair amount of money in this game, the subscription, a couple of packs, the whole usual consumer thing. 

Recently they started doing the events thing with locked songs and event songs, etc. and i though, “might as well give it a go, see how things are.” and ive come to find out that the two featured sonfs #1f1e33 - Camellia, and Aegleseeker - Silentroom vs. Frums. are not only locked behind a paywall thats 4 dollars, the challenge song is nigh impossible to get without spending money on it.

I expected better from Noxy, i felt they were doing better with chapter 6 and 7, but this is very predatory, i spent 3 and a half hours doing 15 tiles worth of challenge and 15 missions to unlock Aegleseeker, and it was STILL locked behind a paywall. Thats like 45 songs i had to play to get there. and for what, 4 dollars for two songs?

Not worth it. Theyre very greedy and youre better off playing other rhythm games.

### 1/5 — Good game, garbage event

*2022-03-25*

Don’t get me wrong, the game is solid. Good story with beautiful illustrations, decent charts and lots of bangers.

But the recent event just ruined the whole game. It turned from an indie masterpiece into typical cash-grab mobile garbage. The event only progresses by PLAY COUNT, what you play and how much score you get doesn’t matter even a little. It’s just grinding as a robot. How can you ruin the core game value in such a way?

Playing this game has been more boring than ever. Noxy, this isn’t really what your fan base have asked for.

### 1/5 — Will not load my account

*2021-09-21, version 2.6.1*

Whenever I attempt to load my account it just crashes

### 1/5 — 이건 진짜 아닌 것 같은데요…

*2021-09-20*

이번 업데이트 보스곡 화면을 너무 떠는 거 아닌가요? 
원래도 좀 정신없는 편이긴 했는데 이건 진짜 한 판 끝나고 나니까 눈은 물론이고 머리까지 아픈걸요…;;;

### 1/5 — Immediately crashes on iPad 2 running 9.x

*2021-06-18, version 2.5.4*

Doesn't even launch properly

### 5/5 — It canceled my subscription

*2026-07-30*

I just got a new update and now I can’t get into my subscribe songs

### 5/5 — Melhor jogo de ritmo

*2026-02-05*

Esse jogo tem uma proposta diferente dos outros, a dinâmica da esfera girando, a música, tudo! Pude jogar tanto no iPhone quanto no iPad, são duas experiências diferentes e muito boas!

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2025-07-13*

Nice plot and illustrations

### 5/5 — フリック

*2025-06-13*

フリック無くしたら？フリックのせいでつまんない譜面たくさんある

### 5/5 — Bug

*2025-04-18, version 3.0.3*

买完第八章后打通了但因为bug音乐列表无法解锁，当时尝试过将另一个设备上的云存档覆盖到平板上，更新后此bug被修复列表解锁了但是主线因为之前自己操作云存档覆盖得从头开始打，bug出现在现在我尝试重打PANGRAMIST剧情时直接黑屏卡住了没有办法进入打歌界面推剧情了，希望可以修复一下😢

### 5/5 — The best Rhythm Game ever, however…

*2025-03-06, version 2.32.1*

I’m giving this game five stars because it really is the best Music Rhythm game I’ve ever played, however.

The shop is expensive. I will admit that the prices have gone down SIGNIFICANTLY since the game was released. But there are 26 expansions that cost $3.99 and 12 expansions that cost $7.99.
That’s a grand total of $199.62

They also have some songs stuck behind subscriptions with a basic plan at $3.99 or platinum plan at $7.99, but I think the subscriptions are fine and worth it.

However with all of these expansions I think it would be great if there were a bundle, or multiple bundles, where we could buy the expansions at a discounted cost.

### 5/5 — Lanota
