So, you don’t get any satisfaction on finishing one. Also, I want more songs than just baby songs. Otherwise, this is a very good game with great graphics. I really do like this game :). ### 4/5 — This game is good, but It had some flaws *2020-05-16, version 1.3* Ok, so first, the ball is more moveable. It’s not a bad thing, but it’s not the best. The ball moves farther than I intend it to, and I don’t really like that. Second, it was a bit laggy, so when I tried moving the ball it lagged ( and I have good internet) and went to far. Those are the only problems with the game, but other than that, it’s a good game that I would recommend! ### 2/5 — Great Concept, not so great game. *2020-05-09, version 1.3* To be honest this game is not well thought out. The graphics aren’t the best either. The more I play this game the more it gets boring. I wouldn’t recommend this game for people who are looking for a great game that doesn’t get boring. The game overall was not a well put together game. And I really hate to say this but this game should not have 4.5 as there rating. I am thinking more like a 3.9 to be honest. And I would suggest making better graphics. And this game is starting to seem like a rip-off of piano tiles games. Truly a horrible game. I can see the goal you were trying to reach, but it didn’t get there. And this is coming from someone in fifth grader who focuses on the graphics of a game. I think eventually you could reach the point where the game is way better. But right now it’s terrible. 😉😉😉✌️✌️✌️😜😜😜 ### 3/5 — Needs changes *2019-12-26, version 1.2* This game needs some changes when you get to a new speed it goes to fast . Another thing is energy, I play two times then it says I ran out of energy 🙄. And one more thing is the balls ⚽️ it says you can unlock them with gems 💎 but once you buy three or four they get way to expensive 🤑. One last thing when you get to level five it takes forever to get to a new level , and I have had this game for almost a year .Other ways it is a awesome game 👍🏽 ### 4/5 — How I rate this game *2019-12-22, version 1.2* I thought this game is fun but I also think that when you have been playing it all day it gets kind of boring and annoying. I hope you like my result because this is my first time rating anything before. Please don’t hate me. ### 4/5 — Just one thing *2019-10-27, version 1.2* This app is amazing!!!! And it's soooooo addicting! I love it. Just one thing, there are so many ads!!! And I always get the same ad a Tik Tok one. Then I click the X on it to get back to the game and it freezes! It's annoying because I have to back out of the game and in again!! Please fix the ads!!!! ### 2/5 — Maybe make another one *2019-04-11, version 1.0* When ever I take the game off of my recently used it always I mean like always deletes my progress on the game and the updates don’t do anything when I play the game. Honestly the WiFi in my house is pretty good and the game is really laggy as you see of what I just said it always takes off my progress when I take it of my off my screen so, honestly I think you probably make like a second or rethink it or something cause it pretty laggy one of the things good about is that the is good also, another thing is that there isn’t that much songs to choose from so you should probably rethink that too. ### 2/5 — difficult to control *2019-03-18, version 1.0* I thought this games concept was really awesome and obviously piano is always a fun activity however, I didn’t have very much control over the bouncing ball. For example, if I would touch the screen to move the ball left the ball would go to the right. Whenever this situation occurred I always ended up with a low score at the end of the level. I tried different techniques to complete the levels however, the ball only kept going the opposite direction of wherever I would move it. ### 3/5 — Big problem… *2019-01-21, version 1.0* —Or maybe a minor annoyance; Every time I open the app, no matter how far I’ve gotten the last time I played, I always wind up back at level1, with only Twinkle Stars to play. My question then is this: what is the point of playing the game and trying to progress if it’s all going to be lost when I next open it up? It’s a good game. Don’t get me wrong. –And who knows? Maybe I’m just missing something on my end. But I don’t like getting to Lv. 3 and then opening the app later and finding myself back at Lv. 1. It’s kind of disheartening. ### 3/5 — It is a really good game but *2019-01-14, version 1.0* It is a really good game but every time you die you have to start over from level one. They should at least let you start from the round you left off on. Also your energy runs out way too quickly and you can get it back for free but you have to watch a video which are “not available”. Otherwise the sound and songs are really nice and this is a fun game ### 4/5 — Awesomeness *2018-12-11, version 1.0* This game is really cool and it’s pretty challenging and that’s what i love about it but there is one con about this game is that it never saves your progress that’s why i gave you4 then a full 5 so great game keep it up but try to get that glitch under control and then I’ll rate you a full 5 stars keep it up with the great games xoxo ### 5/5 — Challenging but keeps you playing! *2018-12-01, version 1.0* This game was challenging at first to me but as I got to play it within 5 minutes I now am on level 15 This game is super amazing you should definitely download this (: ### 2/5 — Have to start over every time *2018-11-26, version 1.0* I like this game but due to the fact that I have to start all over when I stop playing is crazy stupid. I thought maybe it was just me not signing in or something, so I looked. Nope. Nowhere does it ask u to sign in nor ask if u want to connect to Facebook to keep your game saved. Will uninstall because of this. Hate starting over every single time I want to play. ### 5/5 — VERY ANNOYING PLEASE READ *2018-11-22, version 1.0* When I download this app I thought it was gonna be very fine and I would play it all the time with my sister because we never get along and I thought this might turn it around and we could try to do it but this is so hard even I can’t do it she can’t even do it this is an even addicting it says that it is super fun addicting have games well that is basically the opposite of what is going on right now it’s so annoying and I don’t like it like it’s hard I don’t like the white tiles it’s on my nerves I want to delete this app and get a different one so don’t get this app! ### 5/5 — Piano ball is a scam *2018-11-10, version 1.0* I paid 2.99 to unlock the ads. After playing for 5 minutes and continually getting reset to the first level, we gave up. My 7 year old is very upset. I even reset the game and I get asked to pay another 2.99 to remove the stupid ads. Which is a shame because the game itself seems fun and challenging but this recursive cycle of fraud is unconscionable. Must have been developed in China. I want my money back. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Piano Ball: Run On Music Tiles *2020-05-26, version 1.3* Does this game even run on iPad Air w/ IOS 12.4.6? If yes, deduct the 1 star and add a big 🦃 because this is without doubt the worst game of all time. There were no tutorials or instructions. All I did for 45 mins. is get screen-shuttled from "give us $ for more X" to "give us $ for better Y", interspersed with crap ads and compulsory previews of games I don't want. The few times I got to Tune 1 of the actual game (which I never could decode how to consistently make happen), I'd touch the screen and instantly hear a dissonant 'raspberry' noise; then it was back to all those aforementioned 'In Game Purchase' and interminable ad screens. You might be amused to hear that, after 45 frustrating minutes of really trying to Get This Game, my top score was a "3" [correct notes maybe? Don't know or care.] @ Experience Level 1. —Most of that time was taken up by the rotating junk screens, and I never did figure out what you're supposed to do to score said points, because all I had to do is touch the screen to end the game! I should have just played my REAL violin or piano: they sound beautiful, are easier to play (Truly!) and don't keep stopping to beg me for money. Give this turkey a wide berth, people ! ### 1/5 — Has issues many issues *2019-12-26, version 1.2* I didn’t like the app to many adds! 😡 and it’s way to fast and has way to long of distances I can’t even hit most of them! And you loose everything when you log out! And it’s a wast of time you only watch the same two adds and to get xp you need to watch adds for HOURS and I really don’t like the ways it just GOSE FASTER and FASTER and really LOOOONG distances it’s to hard. And when I first played the game it was fun but now it’s just hard and boring and a wast of time. ### 1/5 — Awful 👎 *2019-07-13, version 1.2* I donloaded this game to find it awful. Whenever I move my finger in makes me fall. The quality and the graphics look terrible to 👎👎👎 I’m a person who can write really bad reviews so I’m trying to say this as ‘nice’ as possible. The music you start off with is boring, I was told you get to play the top songs but nope, instead I have to listen to old 80’s music. I’ll still keep playing, But I hate it. ### 1/5 — BASED ON EXPERIENCE- Don’t get *2018-12-25, version 1.0* I mean it’s pretty good game just so annoying that it starts over from the beginning at level one every time you enter the app!!! This is really annoying and I hope it’s just a glitch. Also, there are way too many ads and I was at level 60 and exited out because I had to go to dinner and it started over at level one when I went back on it afterwards!!! Overall, please don’t download this game even if it looks fun. ### 1/5 — Don’t like it *2018-12-21, version 1.0* First off the game lags... really bad, and I have High speed internet, also the app has the EXACT SAME music as piano tiles 2. It’s not just that, but the actual music audio is EXACTLY the same. I even thought that maybe it was the same developers that made these two apps, but there not. Cheetah made Piano Tiles 2. I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but this app may have stolen Piano Tiles 2 audio files. If I’m wrong then they would have to prove it to me, but a different producer using every audio file from Cheetah Mobile’s piano app? To me that doesn’t sit right. If you respect game developers and all the hard work that they do then don’t get this app because people who try to cheat off of other shouldn’t get recognition. ### 1/5 — Yeah... NO *2018-08-26, version 1.0* It was a good idea and there are a lot of games similar to this floating around so I thought it was the same one I played on my sister’s phone. Unfortunately, it wasn’t and this game wasn’t great at all. It deletes all the progress I made from the last time I opened the app and the ads make the game glitchy and irritating to try to play. To me it isn’t worth it and I deleted it after a couple of hours of playing it. Sorry, throw the whole app away! ### 1/5 — Fun but broken *2018-08-14, version 1.0* The game doesn't save any progress... so there's no point in unlocking songs; also, the developers of the game restrict free gameplay by adding "energy", in which if the player runs out of it, they have to wait 2+ hours or buy more with real currency to restock... which is pointless because progress is not saved. Great game overall apart from the greedy developers and the broken save feature. ### 1/5 — It doesn't save my progress. *2018-08-02, version 1.0* Does anyone else have this problem? It not only takes a long time to level up from level 2 to leave 3 but it also doesn't save progress. The adds are also another problem, there are too many. I am not willing to pay for them to be removed because I will bet that if you paid for it, the progress won't be saved and you'll have to pay for it again. It's a fun game but not worth the time and effort. ### 1/5 — Good but needs work *2018-07-23, version 1.0* First off, the game it self is good. I really like the concept of jumping to one note with the other. Unfortunately, every time I close the game it resets everything, including songs and the ball skins. Also, I find the ads to be slightly obnoxious and should be put lower. (Ik ads will help you gain money to improve, but it’s no fun when you get an ad every min. ) hope they see this so they can make their game better! <3 ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2018-07-06, version 1.0* I thought finding a game like this one would be great! But sadly it’s not..not even a little bit. First of all, the game never saves my progress and once I come back the next day it’s all gone my songs, the balls everything. Secondly, when I jump on the correct tile it still says I’m wrong and I wasn’t in the second mode yet! The third thing is is that I don’t want to spent money on ads if the game doesn’t even save! I don’t want to continue to spend money everyday on the same things! Wouldn’t recommend downloading this game! Creator if you are reading please fix this game right now it’s terrible to play and just not fun anymore!!!! 😡😡😡 Pls fix it, your friend xxxxx ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this game🤩 but it’s so hard! *2020-08-01, version 1.3* I love the game but it’s so hard when I get use to it it just goes faster and faster and then I die and i have to do a add just to get the Hearts to play it but out of all of that this game is amazing hope to see updates for the game ### 5/5 — Amazing!😃 but some issues 😔!! *2019-12-08, version 1.2* Okay 👌 this is the best game ever 😃😃!!! But some issues. One ☝️ is that every time I go to use it the ball goes to FAST! And every time I lose like two times it won’t let me PLAY! And it always asking about if I want to by more energy and p.s. I don’t it won’t let me play for like 20 minutes so can you change that and until it gets to like level 6 or 7 than it can go a little faster and do you mind if there can not be so much white tiles than that will be awesome 👏 please!!! Write back Thank you 😊! For your time to read this Love 💕,your best player and friend ### 5/5 — You need to do better *2019-11-23, version 1.2* I got this game and I thought you could have your own music. But no. As a fellow YouTuber I record myself playing this, but I am not showing my viewers this monstrosity you made. and make it easier. ### 5/5 — Sent me a message to let me know if you have any questions *2019-08-10, version 1.2* The only problem is that we can not have any availability to make the changes ### 5/5 — Fun *2019-01-29, version 1.0* It is the best at helping you learn how to play the game it is my dream to play it and you are the best it is a fun game thank you for letting us play this game I love this game thank you again bye bye have a nice day🤩😁🥰😍😆😁😄😃😀 you are the best and I will always love you it is a fun game I love pianos make more you should because you’re a rockstar to me please never let anyone tell you you’re not but I have a nice day and a good life to😄 ### 5/5 — 1 Problem *2019-01-26, version 1.0* This game is probably the most addicting fun music game I’ve ever had but the thing is when I exit out it makes me re start but that’s my only problem so thank you “Super fun addicting hop games” ### 5/5 — Helped me get my comfort back *2019-01-12, version 1.0* I like it cause my piano got broken and then I found this app and tried it and it was ANAZINg go to the app and try it for yourself go give them some support and maybe you will like it to like I do and thanks for the amazing app! Really appreciate it 👍😁 ### 5/5 — Loved It *2019-01-05, version 1.0* I love to play games with a ball! It is very fun. This one is great because you get to bounce a ball off a note of a piano. The songs sound beautiful!! When I was little, I used to play piano. The piano is my most favorite instrument. Keep up the good work with this game! ### 5/5 — An Awesome Game! *2019-01-01, version 1.0* Dear Makers of this game, This game that you have made, is a very good game. There aren’t many ads and it is a challenge most of the time. I enjoy challenges with not much interruption at all. I also enjoy this game because it not too challenging, but it is still challenging. That is a feature that I look for in a game often times. Thank you makers for creating this game for people young and old that is both challenging and easy in one combination! What else could you possibly want in a game! Thank you for creating this game. ### 5/5 — Would be a great game *2018-12-20, version 1.0* Would be a great game if it would actually save and track your progress I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done level 1 bc every time you reopen the app it restarts your progress it’s pretty lame but the game is fun and very satisfying --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
