I played 2 songs so far and counted 5 different ads across doing this. Way overkill, very likely gonna delete this just on that alone. I know you need revenue but overdoing the ads will lose you users in the long run. ### 4/5 — It’s alright. *2025-12-04, version 2.8.8* It has a great song selection and the grading for the songs is fair. But it lacks in quality of life and critical functions. Having the two outside lanes with arrows pointing outwards makes it awkward to play with thumbs, you get all these gems and things but have no way to spend them, and the game has no calibration so songs will be off timing. ### 3/5 — Only one problem I have with this game *2025-11-29, version 2.8.8* This game would easily get 5 stars from me, I even paid for no ads. However, when you mess up it makes you wait for 5 seconds before you can try again and I just find that obnoxious. ### 3/5 — 😔😒 *2025-11-20, version 2.8.8* When i play a song the music starts playing then shortly stops playing while im tapping the squares . Its a little annoying can anything be done about that ### 3/5 — Swipes don’t work *2025-11-08, version 2.8.8* Lots of songs which is good but what’s the point when the game doesn’t work in the first place, I had diamond perfects on extreme songs in Beatstar but can barely complete songs with swipes in this game lol… not to mention music randomly cutting out and ads at every interval possible ### 4/5 — Songs *2025-11-03* Gefallen mir sehr gut. ### 2/5 — Ads *2025-10-06, version 2.8.8* Too many ads, don’t download, i uninstalled after just 2 minutes of playing ### 3/5 — Jogo bom, mas precisa melhor *2025-10-05* Toda vez que jogo o aplicativo buga no meio do jogo e a música sai, você joga sem música e diversas vezes trava como se você tivesse clicado errado. Muito anúncio, muito bug e jogo meio travado. ### 1/5 — Adds are a joke. *2025-10-05, version 2.8.8* I mean there are some games you play here and there is some adds. This game every 5 seconds they have an add. Don’t get this stupid money hungry game. ### 1/5 — Yikes *2025-09-03, version 2.8.8* 1 minute of unskippable ads PLUS an a playable game ad when you MISS ONE SWIPE?? Trash behavior ### 1/5 — Bro really *2025-09-02, version 2.8.8* To many ads it keeps doing ads in the middle of the song ### 4/5 — Love the game but.. *2025-08-27, version 2.8.8* I like the game but $10.00 a mo th is pretty steep! ### 3/5 — Good but needs work *2025-08-24, version 2.8.8* I like the game and the reaction time to tapping tiles and the music quality is good but would love to see bands like slipknot or sleep theory maybe some falling in reverse ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SCAM!!!! *2026-03-11, version 2.8.8* It says 3 days free trial before paying for the plan, subscribed and straight away no free trial, also the ads didn’t go away when you already subscribed!! Total scam!! I wouldn’t even wanna give 1 star!!! ### 1/5 — Не дали вип, списали деньги *2026-02-27* Оплатила 899 рублей, реклама осталась. Плюс не могла зайти, только как гость играла. :(:( отправила запрос на возврат средств, надеюсь помогут ### 1/5 — Don’t Play *2026-02-24, version 2.8.8* Genuinely horrible. I came to this app after beatstar shut down and it is honestly sad. This game is loaded with adds. Each is a minute long. As for mechanics, the placement of tiles in connection with the song is just wrong. It feels like AI did it instead of an actual person. This game needs to die ### 1/5 — charged me for 3 day trial despite cancellation before due date *2026-01-12, version 2.8.8* poor ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-12-17, version 2.8.8* So many ads, you can’t even play the game and have fun. Not only that, the advertisements are so long. It really made me delete the entire game. I liked the songs but they way too greedy for me. I wish beat star would come back. I miss them. ### 1/5 — Adds *2025-12-09, version 2.8.8* Ver inappropriate adds popped up in between playing songs. ### 1/5 — Werbung *2025-11-18* Das Spiel ist praktisch wie Beatstar, nur mit dem Unterschied dass man nichts synchronisieren kann und man etwa doppelt soviel Werbung schaut wie man eigentlich spielt. Auch ist ein „schwieriges“ Level nicht ansatzweise schwierig. Nicht empfehlenswert. Bring back beatstar ### 1/5 — No way to sync tap with sound *2025-11-01, version 2.8.8* Title says it all ### 1/5 — AVOID DOWNLOADING AT ALL COSTS *2025-10-29, version 2.8.8* I would rate 0 stars if I could. ONE: No matter what you do, you cannot get the music to sync with the beats you hit: Literally defeating the whole purpose of a rhythm game. There’s no option to sync at all, so you’re constantly out of beat - either too fast or too slow. TWO: Another huge problem; As soon as I load up the game, there’s an ad. As soon as I fail, ad. As soon as I finish that ad, I have to watch ANOTHER if I want to continue. There was a solution, I thought. the subscription of £9.99 per month to get goodies and get rid of ads LITERALLY does not work to get the ads gone. I refreshed the app to see if it would kick in, guess what, BOOM. STILL had ads. The subscription is a partial scam. THREE: The only thing that’s made this a little good is the song choices to play. But that’s no good if once you watch the ad to restart, there IS NO MUSIC to continue playing to. TL;DR: The whole thing is just glitchy, a scam and overall not at all worth downloading. I would go back to Beatstar but they are closing 31st October, so… ### 1/5 — End game *2025-10-12, version 2.8.8* The game is very unplayable at times. Little to no audio. Rainbow perfects aren’t registering when i know I’m hitting the notes with accuracy. I really wish the developer would fix the bugs and lags in the game. Why is this still in the Apple Store, when the developer can’t even fix the problems in the game. Just remove the game from the store at this point, because it’s really frustrating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Happy to find *2026-02-22* Was a MAJOR fan of the country star games and was very sad they discontinued. Gave this one a shot and already love it more than those ones!! Large library and recent hot songs and even paid to subscribe which I NEVER do. Only thing I didn’t like were the amount of adds but with the large song library it was worth the monthly price to just subscribe ### 5/5 — Great *2026-01-31, version 2.8.8* Awesome ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2026-01-19* I love everything about this game. There’s only one thing I would change and that has to do with the way you manually search for a specific song. I would add a tab where you could access your recently played music so you could find certain songs even if you can’t remember the name. ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-11-16* This game is excellent, and I highly recommend it. One aspect I appreciate is the extensive selection of quality songs available; however, I would prefer the inclusion of additional artists and more songs from certain artists, such as Nirvana, Rammstein, and Slipknot, whom I enjoy. Furthermore, I believe there are excessively many advertisements, and I would be grateful if their number could be reduced. In summary, this game is truly remarkable. ### 5/5 — So Much Fun *2025-11-01, version 2.8.8* Just downloaded this and already having so much fun ### 5/5 — Music *2025-10-14, version 2.8.8* Leaderboards ### 5/5 — Nice game *2025-03-07, version 2.8.8* This is a pretty good game. I’ve played beatstar and magic tiles and this is better than those 2 combined because There’s barely any ads and I haven’t bought the subscription yet so nice! Also IDK if this is the original before magic tiles or if it’s the other way around. Still a pretty good game that’s free! ### 5/5 — I so love this game!! *2025-02-25, version 2.8.8* I so love this game!! It's a lot like tap tap reborn I played the heck outta that game! So thank you for this!! You have to give it a try! ### 5/5 — Best game eva *2024-10-13, version 2.8.5* I just downloaded it yesterday. It is so ᖴᑌᑎ I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has no many songs to chose from , even though it has adds . It’s totally worth a whole 30 seconds of my life waiting for thr add to finish ! Plus I can play it on a plane without wifi if i watch all the adds first . ( I think ) And now , I'M ADDICTED !!!!!!!!! Thank you for reading , bye . ( I would keep writing this review but I have an excursion to Science Works today and I can't sleep so what else is there to do than get ready ?) ### 5/5 — Sus *2024-10-11, version 2.8.5* Cool --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
