### 5/5 — Well worth the money

*2026-05-30*

Super worth it i think its an amazing way to play mania on the go and all the supports and features and other games modes it supports are awesome too well done devs!

### 3/5 — Major Love, Bigger Bugs

*2026-03-31*

I think the game is completely different from the PC port. When i make i chart with an .mp4 file, the game immediately makes it an .ogg file; something it cannot support. The game is overall pretty good, but i really want to make charts for the game too

### 1/5 — ログインできない

*2026-03-24, version 4.3.7*

時間をあけてからログインしろってこちとら2日待ってんだわ。パスワードもあってるのにゴミすぎだろクソアプリだわ

### 3/5 — ログインできない

*2026-02-18, version 4.3.7*

### 5/5 — Mappers

*2026-01-04*

If you love mapping and hate all the tedious things that comes with mapping this app is worth it, times the songs bpm and offset perfect most of the time and is easy to learn interface. I use this to map taiko then I remap it on osutaiko since this app is better for mapping lol :D

### 3/5 — 曲の音が聞こえない

*2025-12-31, version 4.3.7*

アプリ1回消して再開したら収録してた曲と創作譜面全部消し飛んだ、これもちょっとイライラするけど、なによりそれから特定の曲の音が全く聞こえないのがめっちゃ腹立つ。
音声ファイルがぶっ壊れてんのかと思ったけどそんなことは無かったし、不具合だろうけど、普通にやる気失せたのでクソです。まぁ大目に見て3

### 1/5 — データ全部消えた

*2025-12-11, version 4.3.7*

バグって1部の曲がダウンロードしても譜面のみで、曲がダウンロードされなくなったので、消して再インストールしたら、曲もスキンも全部初期化されました。記録が残ってれば手作業で片っ端からダウンロードする気力はあったのですが、サイトログインしても残ってなさそうなのでこれを機に引退します。約2年間お世話になりました。

### 3/5 — 古いiPhoneでもつかえる！

*2025-09-30, version 4.3.7*

iPhone5で新バージョンで遊べました

### 1/5 — Bought it, has no sound and songs don’t start either.

*2025-09-21, version 4.3.7*

Will be refunding. iPhone 12 Pro Max latest iOS as of September 2025

### 5/5 — 인터페이스 깔끔하고 모드랑 채보 매우 다양함

*2025-08-20, version 4.3.7*
