### 4/5 — FUN

*2026-09-04, version 1.1.4*

a very fun game, but the ads are a bit annoying

### 4/5 — Songs you should add!

*2026-08-29, version 1.1.3*

You need to add alien stage songs! And more songs in general, so here are recommendations!
Weige-alien stage
Candy scar-Zombie stage
Bite me-Murder drones
PPPP-Tak (I think)
Also, where is yarara? Also, how does anyone get rid of the hexagon? It isn’t like the YouTube videos, but the hexagon is pretty unique and I like the concept, it’s just not very optimal, but good job, keep working on it, it’s amazing!! :) -from a new player, @Hanako Yumeshipper :3

### 3/5 — bro….

*2026-08-23, version 1.1.3*

so many ads and if i tap on something right, it’ll say “miss”

### 4/5 — different songs play while playing a chart

*2026-08-15, version 1.1.3*

okay, so recently i switched to solonus because it takes up less storage than pjsk, and the app was working nicely. though when i play a song on solonus multiplayer, whenever im in the middle of a song another song would start playing and overlap the audio (which really throws me off.) the first time it happened i thought it was a glitch so i didnt think anything of it, but then it started happening more and more frequently. pls fix this

### 2/5 — 진짜 못해먹을것 같아요

*2026-08-14*

일단 처음하는 사람들에게 너무 설정이 어려운것 같아요 ㅜㅜ 처음에 했을때 어떻게 하는지도 모르고, 너무 답답해서 깔자마자 지웠습니다.

### 3/5 — Good but not the best

*2026-08-12, version 1.1.3*

I liked the game but it was hard to figure out how to play it it’s good but not the best I would say please make it better

### 2/5 — やりにくかったです

*2026-08-07*

とにかくやりにくかったです。これなら本家をやった方が楽しいと思います。
でもボカロ以外でも沢山曲があったのはいいと思いました。

### 3/5 — I mean its alright but please fix ts or ima start deleting the app and gonna make 1 star 🫩

*2026-08-06, version 1.1.3*

The app is great... Like the songs BUT the other songs keep ruining my lock in like BRO PLEASE FIX NOW! LIKE WHEN I'M IN THE GAME I KEEP ON HEARING OTHER MUSICS INTERRUPTING MY MUSIC LIKE IF TS PART OF IT NOT MY PROBLEM FIX IT NOW!!!!

### 4/5 — Great, but too many ads

*2026-08-01, version 1.1.3*

It’s a really good alternative to pjsk, but 4 stars since there are too many ads TwT

### 3/5 — My opinion:

*2026-08-01, version 1.1.3*

Its a great game!,fun to play but theres not a lot of songs and music genres and i havent found a way of adding songs or anything like that i keep on playing the same songs other from that i would say its pretty cool

### 5/5 — Really good but a lot of bugs..

*2026-08-01, version 1.1.3*

The game itself is nice and the fanmade stuff, but there’s so much bugs? It keeps freezing or just glitches(please fix this..

### 2/5 — This game needs to be fixed

*2026-08-01, version 1.1.3*

Why do we have to watch so many adds it’s just so dumb and when u miss type a song it just doesn’t search it at least make where when u miss type something it knows what your trying to spell

### 4/5 — It’s good but..

*2026-07-31, version 1.1.3*

Everytime I do a song, a add pops up. And it needs more songs, overall it’s great! I can do most of my favorite songs on here

### 4/5 — Great but

*2026-07-31, version 1.1.3*

It takes some project sekai songs but fun

### 4/5 — Audio randomly going off sync

*2026-07-31, version 1.1.3*

I’ve been mainly playing Sonolus PJSK on my iPad and for some reason the audio randomly goes off sync and I can’t fix it so if there’s any way that I could fix this myself then can the developers please let me know

### 5/5 — It’s rlly fun

### 1/5 — BOOO

*2026-09-01, version 1.1.3*

I hate this game, it needs u to be sooooo precise and even though i got EVERY single note, i still missed it. bruh.

### 1/5 — Let me change the speed

*2026-08-25, version 1.1.3*

Every time I try to play yarayara, I swear it’s like 1 speed, am a pro and I always put mine at like 8-10nbut now that I use sonolus I don’t know how to change the speed, pls add more things for people who are new to your app

### 1/5 — worst

*2026-08-23, version 1.1.3*

worst game ever

### 1/5 — This game is too much yall 💔

*2026-08-03, version 1.1.3*

STOP FREAKING FLIPPING THE DAMN NOTES WHILE I’M TRYNA PRESS THEM.

### 1/5 — Idk

*2026-07-22, version 1.1.2*

Worst game ever IM ON MOBILE EVERY THING IS SO CONFUSING!! AND PLUS I WAS ON FOR 1HR AND DID NOT FOIND  OUT ON HOW TO PLAY A LEVEL

### 1/5 — Cheap copy of project sekai

*2026-07-20, version 1.1.2*

First of all, stop trying to make this game so hard like ur literary adding stuff that is impossible and people are using it, second of all, ads, like seriously? Even rhythm hive and project sekai doesn't even have ads, anyways the charts that people make are just impossible like how could someone even complete that? Besides the health think that says 1000 make it better cause it just goes down easily, like everytime you miss it goes down to 100 or smth, this cheap copy of project sekai needs to get fixed cause this is the worst chart game I ever played, WARNING ⚠: PLEASE DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS IT'S A TERRIBLE GAME AND HAS ADS WHEN YOUR DOWN WITH THE CHART

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-20, version 1.1.2*

The app layout makes ZERO SENSE. You press play and it tells you to pick a serve but none of the servers do anything. And when you type in links or keywords it literally becomes incompetent

### 1/5 — just play pjsk.

*2026-07-11, version 1.1.2*

This is like pjsk but buggy, no actual tutorials , ads, and don’t get me started on levels. Doesn’t tell you how to do some notes and only does the classic ones, not like what I see on YouTube. No custom gimmicks, just lag/

### 1/5 — Me sad cuz they call me fat :<

*2026-07-10, version 1.1.2*

Hi it buddy here and I’m a red panda :> eagle birdie was uploading PNG file idk what that mean though :( and it said the file was too large and me don’t liek that :< 
The eagle bird: and one thing I can’t fit the name the eagle bird and DRAGON DOG in there BUT YOU CAN LET ME FIT BUDDY IN THERE?! WHY?

### 1/5 — What????

*2026-07-06, version 1.1.2*

I actually cannot figure out how the hell im supposed to get songs and play them. I find this very badly explained and due to this I don’t like the app.

*2026-09-04, version 1.1.4*

I can finally play alien stage songs 🥹

### 5/5 — LOVE IT

*2026-09-04, version 1.1.4*

Literally my favorite game! Has my favorite songs and doesn’t take much storage. You can even make your own charts and change the note speed of it.

### 5/5 — I LOVE IT

*2026-08-19, version 1.1.3*

No words i love it so much

### 5/5 — Sekai

### 5/5 — Peak

Just straight literal peak wish there was more Toby fox

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER.-KOKICHI

*2026-08-03, version 1.1.3*

LITERALLY. saves so much storage! as a pjsk fan, but i can't download anymore updates for pjsk cuz of my storage, makes THIS A HAME CHANGER!!! -kokichi ouma

### 5/5 — One thing!

*2026-08-01, version 1.1.3*

I love this but I just wish there was a tutorial or a way to get started. I didn’t know what anything was and I was just clicking buttons trying to find out what everything did. It would be nice if there was a way to explain how to use the app better. Other than that it was really fun!

### 5/5 — Newest version bug

*2026-08-01, version 1.1.3*

There is MASSIVE delay where the background music and chart are completely offbeat.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-08-01, version 1.1.3*

It's a awesome app to practice on to play project Sekai and the fan made charts on the other servers are mostly accurate and nice by having your favourite songs
