One thing though..? *2026-08-30, version 1.7.1* Loving this app a lot! I’ve been using it for inspo while I draw. (Inspiration) and it’s been great! I do wish something was there though… You should add (most) of the Wii U background music! like Mii Maker and the Mii Maker on the TV! At least those two, please. I can’t find them anywhere and I’d like to listen to them without having to fight with YouTube or my wifi :,) Still great though!! :D ### 4/5 — Good app, would be better with google cast support *2026-08-29, version 1.7.1* Please add Google Cast support, so it can be played on smart speakers. ### 5/5 — Awesome music *2026-08-25, version 1.7.1* Bring back ninja hideaway in the Mario kart world DLC ### 3/5 — Please fix song issues *2026-08-25, version 1.7.1* Please fix these issues: -Unnecessary reverb and clipping (Wii Shop Channel) -Early fade-outs (Super Mario Galaxy 1/2) -Inconsistent song repeats (most songs repeat twice, but some songs repeat four times like in F-Zero X and Brain Age) -Absence of “extend button” on all Pokémon songs -Combining elephant versions of songs into the main versions of songs (Super Mario Bros. Wonder) -Missing major songs (Luigi’s Mansion “Main Theme” without humming, and “Checkered Knights” from Kirby Air Riders) -Missing English version of “Welcome to the New World!” (Kirby and the Forgotten Land) -Absence of composer credits This app has a lot of potential if the developers go back and do a little bit of polishing. Three stars because it’s convenient to extend an entire playlist to 10 minutes long. ### 3/5 — So Glitchy *2026-08-25, version 1.7.1* I love that this app exists since I can’t listen to this music elsewhere, but this app is sooooo glitchy. Randomly pauses my music and also straight up crashes even while my phone screen isn’t on and it’s just playing music in the background. I created a playlist of music but I can’t even listen to my playlist because every time I try to open it, the app freezes. Hoping they fix these glitches because it’s extremely irritating. Another gripe I have is that the composers are not credited. They made the music, so why are we not recognizing their names, especially in a music app!!! ### 5/5 — Best Way to Listen To Music From Your Favorite Games *2026-08-25, version 1.7.1* I really love this app! At times I wish they had more Mario Kart and more Star Fox albums, but overall I think this is a great way to listen to music. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-24, version 1.7.1* I’m so happy I found out Nintendo had a music app. It’s so nice having some of my favorite jams going throughout my day. No adds is a big plus ### 5/5 — the best ever *2026-08-24, version 1.7.1* everything is perfect but please can you add the majora’s mask soundtrack. i really want to hear the song of healing again. ### 5/5 — BEST thing ever *2026-08-24, version 1.7.1* Better than any other app of music ### 5/5 — BEST THING EVER *2026-08-23, version 1.7.1* Thank u Nintendo ### 5/5 — Great music app!!! *2026-08-23, version 1.7.1* This is amazing for going to sleep, exciting moments, or just hearing Nintendo music in general 5 STARS ### 5/5 — Just what I needed *2026-08-23, version 1.7.1* I was just thinking about how awesome it was to make playlists using smash on my DS and later on my switch. This is that with recommended playlists! Now I just have to wait for them to add Dark Pit’s theme and Twilight Princess’s Hyrule Field and it will be the perfect app. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-08-22, version 1.7.1* I can finally listen to all my favorite soundtrack from my favorite games and I even discovered more I liked! It doesn’t take up too much storage and a rarely have glitch issues. ### 5/5 — 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘵 *2026-08-22, version 1.7.1* 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘵. 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘱𝘱 ### 5/5 — PERFECTION *2026-08-21, version 1.7.1* I NEEDED THIS YEARS AGO ### 4/5 — Xenoblade Chronicles X Missing *2026-08-21, version 1.7.0* Gets 5 stars when Nintendo includes the Xenoblade Chronicles X soundtrack. ### 4/5 — Where is MAJORA’s MASK! *2026-08-20, version 1.7.0* I NEED MAJORA’S MASK!!!!!!!! Update-like idk it’s been a year or something since I posted this and um well it’s STILL NOT HERE!!!! WHERE IS IT!,!,!? I also have a suggestion you guys should just put all your apps like Nintendo News, Nintendo Shop, and Nintendo Music all inside the Nintendo Switch app cuz it would be so much better. So yea ### 4/5 — Need more songs *2026-08-20, version 1.7.0* Great but needs more games songs ### 5/5 — Nintendo and its unstoppable music track record *2026-08-20, version 1.7.0* So many games with amazing sound tracks. When will they miss? Never. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So much potential ruined by greed *2026-08-04, version 1.6.2* Be careful! You need a Nintendo online account in order to use this app. You need to pay monthly for that and I just think it is a waste of money. Plus, it’s just music! Why do you need an online account to listen to some banger songs?! This is very disappointing, Nintendo. Please change this. ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-07-30, version 1.6.2* -Takes way too long for any OSTs to come out -Nonstop repeating game playlists and still no Majoras Mask soundtrack (but has two versions of Ocarina) -terrible selection of games no one cares or knows about Just download the music elsewhere ### 1/5 — Requires a Nintendo Online membership *2026-07-18, version 1.6.2* Why do you NEED A Nintendo Switch online membership to use this 😡😡😡 please update the app so you don’t need it ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2026-07-12, version 1.6.2* NO MARIO SUNSHINE!!!🤬 ### 1/5 — App *2026-07-12, version 1.6.2* This Is A Good app my only Problem is that it’s Stupid you need a Online Subscription they should of made it free without the Subscription once you can’t renew your subscription or Cancel or not be subscribed the app is Rendered Useless ### 1/5 — Just awful. Lied about basic features. *2026-07-06, version 1.6.2* I’m a life long Nintendo fan. I own more music from physically going to Japan and BUYING it off the shelf than there is on here. Also, your music doesn’t download or stay downloaded. ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2026-06-29, version 1.6.2* It Keeps Closing and making me feel angry ### 1/5 — Good music, horrible way to use! *2026-06-21, version 1.6.2* I can’t believe you need an online membership to play music! I really wanted to listen to something like poppy playtime because it’s my favorite horror series! I was so excited to use this but we don’t like to pay for stuff like memberships or apps, only like the games and systems we want to buy, so :( ### 1/5 — Thanks *2026-06-17, version 1.6.1* Only music app where nondownloaded music works better than downloaded ones ### 1/5 — what's the point *2026-06-14, version 1.6.1* nintendo removes music from youtube and then doesn't put it on their own service. why not? why is more than half of nintendo's catalogue missing from this app? why do we not have access to all zelda, all kirby, and all pokemon spundtracks? it's actually just lame. tl;dr: your app is lame. put all your music on it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great! Just add an English version of Welcome to the New World (Kirby and the forgotten land)… *2026-08-30, version 1.7.1* I like it on the first day I got the. But in Kirby and the forgotten land soundtrack, there are two Japanese songs: Welcome to the new world, and Two planets approach the Roche Limit (Chaos Efilils). There needs to be an English version of those two, I know for the people who make the Nintendo characters, music, etc., speak Japanese. I’m not saying anything mean; I’m just saying that I want two songs that are in English. Also, I like the app. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-29, version 1.7.1*  One of the music I like playing one of my games is not there, but I’m first thing else is really good. Fantastic. ### 5/5 — Amazing. *2026-08-29, version 1.7.1* Absolutely amazing app. Especially the fact it keeps track of what games you have on your system.
