Needs some work - don’t lose your fans!. I LOVE this game, I spent some hard earn money on this app (over 100$+) and I play it daily. However, if it wants to keep the fans long term there needs to be some changes. Some of the packs I bought didn’t come with the songs it said it did. It came with cards to open cases 😑 I spend money and I don’t even get what I paid for. It’s enraging. Most will agree with me there needs to be more levels than just normal, hard, and extreme. There should be an easy and mild level. You have to train yourself to think normal is do-able. My extreme gamer friends even had a hard time with this game. Hard is borderline impossible to get more than 4 stars and even when you’re perfect it says you’ve done great. Look, I know y’all are just trying to get more money but if you make the system flawed you’re only going to lose players. I’m also sick of the cases- just give us the songs- 30 cards to open a case? Bffr. Also please add more genres. You can tell the developers love country music which like that’s great and all but add some more variety because I keep getting songs I don’t want. Maybe add some metal in there other than Rammstein? You should also be allowed to choose which wishlist song you get when you open the case. Just food for thought. Other than that, love the game. But please listen to your fans. When looking up tips you wouldn’t believe the amount of people saying that this game has some major flaws especially with scoring “perfect”.

Amazing game but could be a bit better. Ok first off I’m not into that many games on my phone. I think I have maybe 2 and I play them sporadically. My daughter actually found this one and showed it to me because I was a huge fan of Guitar Hero. So naturally I downloaded it and took to it like a fish to water. I’ve played it everyday since I downloaded it, multiple times a day when I don’t have to work. I bought the last 2 tour passes and hadn’t found anything I didn’t like about it. Then a few days after the most recent tour pass release I get a message when I tried to unlock a card case that said “No Songs Left - You collected all songs available to your journey rank” so the money I just spent on the tour pass was wasted. I’m at the highest journey level with the promise of “more coming soon”. So word of advice if you download. If you really enjoy the game and end up using the in app purchase just know that you’ll end up in the same position. I can still play all the songs I’ve unlocked but there’s nothing to work towards; no goals, competitions, rewards, etc. I do love the game and still do the daily tour pass thing but it’s only 2 songs. I just wish they’d find a way to add content quicker than what they are.

"What if Tap Tap Revenge was a predatory gacha game?". I am a big fan of rhythm games and have fond memories of playing various iterations of Tap Tap Revenge on my early iPod Touch. This game is very much in the same vein as it, and is incredibly well-polished and a lot of fun to play --- when the game lets you. Instead of selling you a full game and songs for a few dollars, you can buy some gems to randomly unlock a song which you can only play until your case slots, which are how you collect increasing numbers of pieces to unlock more songs, are full and then you must wait for 3+ hours or spend real money to open them and keep playing. The song selection is great, the controls feel responsive, and it's a lot of fun to try to go for a new high score and increase your star ratings. It's just such a shame that the progression system aggressively doesn't want you to play the game for more than a few minutes every few hours unless you pay money. The latest changelog announces a plan to allow unlimited play but there are no details released at time of writing and I don't have high hopes that it will be reasonably priced, as this system is clearly designed to extract as much money as possible from players. EDIT: The unlimited play was released and is $5/wk. While it comes with gems, it definitely comes across as a cash grab when there are people like myself who just want to play the game without spending $20/mo for the extra gems.

Good but not great.. I’d like to start off by saying this game is amazing. They made the game look absolutely incredible. It runs extremely smooth and is packed to the brim full of great songs. Now you’re probably wondering why I gave this great game only 3 stars? Now that the liked things are out of the way, I want to talk about the things I disliked. First off, I haven’t noticed anyways to gain gems, other than getting the daily free 5 or watching an ad to gain another 5. At first site this game seems like you’d barely see any ads, right? Wrong. After you play this game for just a couple hours, you will gain 3 music chests and ultimately fill up your chests slots. PowerCell did a great job of hiding ads within this beautiful game. Now once your 3 chests slot are filled up, you can no longer play any songs for the duration of the chests opening. HOWEVER, you CAN still play any song you have unlocked IF you watch an ad. Now you do have to do this for every song you want to play, unless you pay the cheap and REASONABLE price of $5!! Yes, you heard me correctly, if you pay only $5, you can play this game freely. Now for many, this may be a price they’re willing to pay for a decent game like BeatStar, but personally I wouldn’t like to pay $5 to get rid of these annoying ads. Overall this game gets 3 stars out of 5 because it is an amazing game, but like all the others, it has its faults.

Implicit Paywall. Let me quickly say that I absolutely love the quality and feel of the game. It really does feel rewarding to play and beat those popular and good-time songs lots of people enjoy, and even the ones only you, yourself, enjoy. I feel like this game has become one of the best rhythm games on the app store by far, especially one so well advertised in many different places. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if others have begun to love rhythm games after just playing this one, especially when it could be very popular with children, teens, and adults alike. However, what I less enjoy about this game is that one has to continue watching ads between each play-through of any song. Those who have wallets may think that this is easily avoidable through paying for the $4.99 (implicit) paywall. However, those five dollars only last you a week of gameplay without ads, and this is assuming you can play consistently with the free time you are allotted—either after school or work. Hopefully, this can be changed, and I will continue owning the app, but for those who don’t wish to watch an ad after so little gameplay has been made, then I would look the other way. If you’re willing to make that sacrifice, then be my guest! I absolutely recommend this game to anyone who has the wallet (or patience) for it!

Forced Fail Mechanic. I’ve been playing guitar hero and games like it for years on top of getting a degree in music. I’m not bragging at all but I swear after doing well for a decent period or getting consecutive diamond ranks on songs something makes you fail or mess up. For instance tonight 4/27 it said I failed to swipe a note and it wasn’t even close to the tap/play/hit area and my fingers weren’t close enough to the screen to register a tap. It’s obnoxious to “miss” a note or not get perfect plus when you know you hit it. (I’m not saying I’m perfect at this game) but there are obvious times when you can tell you’re on beat or with the lyrics and you miss or not get perfect plus. Aside from that I really enjoy this game. A few recommendations, there needs to be a song recycle option so you could play songs you actually enjoy listening to. I know there’s probably licensing issues there. A few more modes would be nice and a multiplayer that’s not just beating ranks though I don’t know how simple that’d be on a phone system. Edit 1: I’m asked to contact support describing my issue. Please reread my review it’s clearly stated. Edit 2 thank you for passing this concern along. I remembered my other recommendation. A practice mode would be absolutely great for songs like Du Hast and Gimme Chocolate. I was reading some other reviews and I agree with the case thing being annoying. 2 cards per obnoxious bingo money making ads and 28+ more to go.

I thought better if it. I initially really enjoyed this game… for about an hour. After that, you had to watch an ad to play each song ONCE. If you failed, another ad, different song, another ad. It is too much. So because I was having fun I bought a $15 package that came with a song and some extra diamonds. When I went to play a song again, I had to continue to watch ads. I figured paying $15 would at least allow me to play what I just bought, BUT NOPE. After realizing this I reached out to support and waited 3 DAYS for a response only for them to say, nope, we don’t offer refund and basically said to read the items in the box better. Honestly I am extremely disappointed and as much as I really was enjoying this game now I just feel like I have to keep it to get any worth out of my purchase. This game need to offer a way to play endlessly and not have to watch an Ad BEFORE EVERY SONG. While you have the option to pay $5 for unlimited plays, it only last the week and that is ridiculous, people don’t want to have to pay weekly for a game. Most games on here don’t even cost that much. Either this or they should sign up with the Apple Arcade to at least offer unlimited to people that pay for that subscription. Overall while I enjoy the idea of this game I feeel it is a total ripoff and could offer their players better incentives.

I’m not paying. Great app! I love killing time w this, but it’s kinda hard to do so once you get to that “pay to play” point. It’s free TO DOWNLOAD, but most of this games features come with them begging you to pay for them, even though they’re pretty useless features that nobody rly wants anyways. I guess they noticed this bc they charge u in game currency or multiple ads just to play singular songs. Idk if it’s always been this way but I don’t see myself using this app in the future. All this app did was motivate me to download the much easier to use for free game, piano tiles. Hope the developers fix this in the future, or at least make the game more bearable. I can see kids using this and not minding the ads, but I don’t see how anyone else would prefer a game they can’t even play songs they enjoy on over the many many piano tiles games/ other rhythm based games. I’ve had this game for one day and I’m already getting pestered with many many in app purchases available. Some of the ads are over a minute long if you choose not to pay them. Yeah, no thanks! I stopped using games like this years ago and this app is certainly not worth going thru all the trouble. Edit: THEY CHARGE $4.99 WEEKLY. W E E K L Y. That’s got to be the biggest scam I’ve ever seen for a game. I’m disappointed in myself for even downloading this before looking into how sketchy it is. DONT WASTE UR MONEY YALL. BE CAREFUL W THE GAMES THAT YOU BUY.

Small glitches. I really do enjoy playing this game, but it’s becoming unplayable. I loved rockband and guitar hero growing up and this is kinda similar. My biggest issue and real annoyance with the game are the glitches. I was just playing a song, mid song my phone/song froze up for a second and it made me miss the notes and failed me out of the song. The other issues I’ve had are similar to that, sometimes I press too lightly(?) on the buttons and it doesn’t register and then fails me out of the song. Other times I clearly tapped the button but it doesn’t register that I did, I’ve changed the pressure of the taps as well and it hasn’t made any difference. Then i have to use gems to save myself or fail myself out of the song. Quite irritating. Edit: after looking through more reviews I’m debating wether to keep this app or not. Other players have described the same exact problem I have had and it almost seems like another paywall. Fail us out of the song at the very last stages so we spend all our gems and eventually have to buy more gems to continue playing the songs. No thanks. The reviews I read with the same problem as me were almost a year old. It’s pretty clear it’s a purposeful paywall tactic. This is really disappointing, this game has so much potential and it just feels like a scam at this point.

Fan. I really love this game, there are very few bugs, it runs really smoothly, and it’s overall very addicting and fun. I have a few song request that would be greatly appreciated if the devs considered. These are just good songs that would be fun to play and a great addition to the game. -Even Flow, Pearl Jam. This is a song that is fast paced at some parts, and at others very smooth and catchy. It would be a very fun as a hard level, and would be incredibly fun. -Monkey Wrench, Foo Fighters. This is a very fast song that includes speed drumming and fast singing. It was would be and incredibly challenging extreme level, and could take the place of “Give me chocolate” as the hardest level in the game. -Sun Flower, Post Malone. It is a very catchy and popular song. It would become very popular, especially with the new Spider-Man movie coming out soon. -Loser, Beck. This song includes many different fast paced parts and could include a variety of gameplay. It would be a great hard leveled song, and would be very fun. I seriously doubt that these ideas will be considered and even seen by the developers. However I feel that these would be great songs in the game, and that if a developer is to see this, they should listen to the songs, and give them a chance. Thank you!

Has potential to be the best beat game of all time. Let me start off by saying that I am a huge fan of beat-based games and am also under no delusion that Supercell is trying to make some money by keeping certain features locked. I think Supercell as a production company actually does a really fantastic job of making their games playable without having to shell out extra cash to keep advancing unless you really want to. I feel like they’re missing the mark with this game because the songs unlocked can get stale pretty quickly as you wait for more boxes to unlock based on an arbitrary number of hours. Onto the game play. I have played probably every beat-based game on the market and I have to say Beatstar has probably the best collection available. The game design is beautiful and well executed. But, I’m not sure having only three columns to hit the beat makes the game any better or more enjoyable than other games, which have made four columns sort of the standard. If anything, it’s made the game feel a little underwhelming. There is a serotonin-release satisfaction in getting in the zone and hitting hundreds of notes in a row, and unfortunately I haven’t felt anything close to that from this game - which is a real bummer considering it is beautiful to look at and the catalog is fantastic. I want to love this game but it’s just not all there for me.

Very Good but Could be better. Recently picked up the game and enjoying it for what it is and I haven’t had any experience with this kind of phone game before. I think the game is overall very solid and fun but there’s a few things that feel anti-consumer and I really don’t get why there in place. The biggest offender being that you need to spend around 25 gems to have “unlimited” play which is just 30 minutes of being able to actually play the game again after receiving 3 cases. I really don’t understand the feature as it seems more beneficial to let consumers keep playing your game and there’s already a battle pass that you pay for, song deals, and daily rotations as well that you pay for. This game is very good and addictive and the song selection isn’t too bad, it just lacks a wide range but that understandable. The system for cases really just comes off the wrong way and feels like a slap in the face every time it happens and I’d be completely fine with just being locked at three cases but getting to at least play or tick down the timer on the case, just something then “well I can’t play songs anymore and have to wait 3 hours”. I really hope this gets addressed in someway because it really feels like the game is stacked with a bit too much forceful micro transactions as every other mobile game is. All in all I’m a big fan and think this game is worth a try.

It has potential. This is a great game, great mechanics, the beats are in sync with the songs, it’s fun and enjoyable despite being a simplistic idea, it’s executes it in a way where there’s plenty to do. However, it is only like this the first few hours of having the game downloaded. You get to a point where the spaces at the bottom with chests you get from playing are full to the maximum of 3 chests and you can’t play. Unless you spend $5 for unlimited play, or watch an ad, you can not play consistently at all. I expected this game, as well as it was played off to be, jam packed with fun, exciting good quality game, and it was! That is until it attempted to milk me of money. Because it is such a well executed game, the developers think they can get away with milking their consumers of money because how much we like the game. I don’t understand why the developers would take a game like this, a game with such good potential, and decide to take advantage of the players by basically saying, “hey if you don’t pay us $5 a week you won’t be able to consistently play our game we obviously put a lot of effort and time on and would make plenty of money off anyway!” Nope, the fact it only lasts for a week is even worse, and it’s $5! My point is, this game has amazing potential, it’s honestly a great game, but taking advantage of your consumers with such a good game and not letting us play it consistently ruins the whole thing for us and makes it almost unplayable.

Good but…. Alright this is a fun game but I have to address something that doesn’t make sense to me. You have a bunch of hit artists but you don’t have their biggest hits. Nirvana and Juice WRLD are the first ones that come to mind. You have lithium for nirvana which, don’t get me wrong, is a big hit, but you chose to add nirvana but you didn’t add smells like teen spirit or heart shaped box, which is a couple of their biggest hits on their own respective albums. That’s like adding Juice WRLD but not adding Lucid Dreams. Wait… that’s already a thing. Now this one really doesn’t make sense to me, you chose to add juice wrld. But wouldn’t it make sense to add his two biggest songs lucid and all girls are the same? Because the song you have in their to represent juice wrld is good, but I had never even heard of this song before I played it in beatstar. Idk, is it a liscensing thing? Prolly not because you already have these artists in here so I highly doubt that. So… what is it? Please add these songs I mentioned here. I think that having these in here would represent the best of these artists and for anyone who wants to listen to the lesser known songs then they can do that. I think everyone would enjoy that even more. Because as it stands it’s a fun game but I sometimes find Myrtle wishing there was more than what we’ve got.

Beatstar is single-handedly becoming the greatest App Store game. Here’s why:. Just over a year ago, I stumbled across this game called Beatstar. While it caught my eye as a piano tiles rip off, I downloaded the game anyways after seeing that it was developed by Supercell, the team behind Clash of Clans/Clash Royale. Supercell’s record is near perfect, and this installment is a testament to that. For hours a week for the past year, I have opened this app to joyously tap away at my screen to the perfectly-synced beats of my favorite songs, which range from Green Day, to Dua Lipa, and even Bring me the Horizon. Yes, there is a pay element in the form of a monthly “battle pass”, for 9.99USD per pass. As someone who is ranked top 50 in USA in this game, I believe my opinion is valid when I say this pass is WORTH IT. The pass will net you 9 exclusive songs, with the potential to unlock at least 10 more via Song Boxes. With replay-ability, constant updates (today was the greatest update in Beatstar’s history), a competitive mode, no “pay-to-win” aspects, very little ads, and over 400 songs to collect, Beatstar solidifies itself as my favorite mobile game of all time, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is at least remotely interested in music.

Good game overall. This game looks beautiful and is really satisfying to play, but just a few things here. I realize since there are no ads the monetization model is more geared toward in-app purchases and therefore gameplay is constrained in ways (like limiting amount of game time) that it rewards players for buying stuff. But when you reach higher levels it really starts to negatively affect the experience because it gets so hard to unlock new songs and it wouldn’t be a huge deal if song replay-ability were a bit better. Another thing is with this is having to pay with gems to continue if you mess up, which is fine and makes sense, but gives limits your ability to get better because you there’s no way to practice songs at all… creating a practice mode that makes songs unloseable while not being allowed to reap any rewards and still fill up song cases would be a good tradeoff imo. One UI thing… I don’t mind the note timing names being called “perfect” and “perfect +” but there is no visual cue (or at least not a noticeable one) to distinguish these from each other since they’re both green. I keep having to look up at the words to make sure I hit them with “perfect +”. Adding some kind of visual effect to “perfect +” notes would be nice.

Hi this is a very fun game and Iill play it 24/7 every day. This is a very fun game it has so much popularity and I get excited playing it I like all the songs my favorite song is the blinding lights by the weekend I love this game so much like I love when I play it I get this sensational feeling like it gives my face a big smile 😊 every time I’m feeling sad or angry or depressed I would play this game to cool me down I love it so much I wish I can meet the developer on my birthday November 24 that would be nice when this game first came out I was so happy I already had a smile on my face when me and my cousin started playing it around like when we were 7 my cousin was 9 we always loved to play this game when we’re bored this game makes us feel happier in the inside and outside when we’re feeling sad when it was 2020 and it was coronavirus we couldn’t go outside so we played this game my mom plays it my grandma plays it I play it I love this game and one more time it’s a very fun game thank you so much developer I’ll make another review tomorrow night when I go to my god moms house and make a review with my cousin love you developer 🥰❤️❤️🩷 you make my day bye make a review tomorrow 😍

good but suggestions. I play this game so much I got my sister to play too, I’m actually having an anxiety attack right now bc I am trying to get all 5 stars on my songs and I only have 4 songs left with 4 stars and I’ve been going at it for so long I can feel my heart beating fast and I’m shaking so I need a break. But my only suggestion is like less ads. At a certain point in playing you need to watch an ad before EVERY song you play. And they are the same ads that are all soooo long. It gets annoying. Also I get a bunch of songs that I either don’t know or hate I think you should be able to search for songs and like them so they could be added to the genre box or the like box instead of having songs you don’t even know or dislike. Update: I spun and got 50 deluxe cards so I unlocked the hardcore version of the middle and I just want to beat it I keep getting stuck at the same part BUT AFTER ALLLLLLL THE ADS THIS GAME HAS MADE ME WATCH IT WONT LET TO WATCH AN AD AGAIN TO PLAY THE SONG BECAUSE “ITS NOT AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW” WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU WHY ARE YOU SUCH A TEASE JUST GONNA LET ME GET ADDICTED TO THIS GAME AND THIS SONG AND THEN MAKE ME WAIT FOR IT WHY WHY WHY WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME AND IF YOURE GONNA MAKE ME USE 30 OF MY GEMS TO PLAY THE GAME MAKE IT MORE THAN 30 MINUTES FOR REAL WHY MAKE A GAME IF YOURE GONNA BE THIS WAY I UNDERSTAND YOUR MONEY HUNGRY BUT DONT LIMIT THE ADS IF YOURE GONNA HAVE THAT OPTION AT ALL TEASE

An amazing game but... I love this game a lot and love my time with it so far, all the songs are great and the gameplay is very nice and easy. My only gripe is just that the battle pass is $15, which I think is very over priced especially when they put amazing songs behind such a heavy pay wall. That is really my only problem with the game in my eyes and that is what is holding it back from a 5 star. Edit: so after playing for around 1 hour and 30 minutes in one day I just saw that I have to wait around 3-5 hours to be able to play again, this is an extremely stupid feature and forces you to stop playing such a well made game. There is no point in this and it should be removed as it makes playing the game tedious. These tedious and down right stupid features are what bogs this game from being good, very disappointed that they made a feature to discourage players from playing their game. Edit #2: So after a good 2 months of playing I really love this game, but have come across a major issue that me and many others have spoken about. Why is it when you get perfect+ does the color not change? I feel that it would help out very much while playing and make the game more rewarding as you know if you are doing well or not. So yeah just a complaint I have heard from myself, friends and many others please fix this

So addictive yet so cash grabbing. Hello anyone who stumbles upon this review or Beatstar, I have sincere regards towards your game. I looked at the top games this week and saw this. As a music fan seeing this as the top game I decided to download it. At first it was so simple yet so fun and addicting I loved every single song you picked, the game was easy to control and I was overall having a great experience with the game. The fact is the this is a total cash grab. The amount of ads is ridiculous, it drives me insane. Also aside from the ads the amount of time you have to wait in order to get a new box is really long which persuades people to use diamonds to skip waiting for long amounts of times and the amount of times I ran out of diamonds was so many making you take our money in order to just get a little music box, there are so many features in this game that make you almost have to pay in order to have a fun experience or succeed in this game. It’s almost a pay to win game. It’s so fun that I did pay a few times but then I started to realize how many things you did have to pay for and then I stopped playing. If your rich and don’t mind paying hundreds of dollars every year go ahead and download this game. Even though it’s pretty fun and addicting game it is a complete pay to win game. I highly recommend not playing this game. Waste of time waste of money.

A lot of flaws ruin the game. This game has some fun gameplay. Beatstar, gameplay wise, is probably my favorite rhythm game generally, it has a lot of fun times. The monetization is egregious but I kind of expect that out of most mobile games at this point unfortunately, so the bar isn't that high. That said, being hard barred from playing the game because you have to wait 3-5 hours before getting to play again. Now here's where the biggest flaw comes in: the ADS! This is a free-to-play game, so obviously making money somehow is fine. but if you have all 3 boxes waiting to be unlocked, you can pay approximately 35 gems to unlock one chest, or watch a 30-second ad to play a song over ONCE. Mind you, you only get 10 free gems a day; 5 gems for free, and then 5 more if you watch a 30 second, unskippable ad. And that was already annoying, having to watch that many ads just to play the game. But recently, they added more ads, so almost every time you finish a map - REGARDLESS of if you failed or completed it - you get an ad right after. So on top of watching multiple ads a day in this game, if you're hooked on it, now you have to deal with even more interruptions, tenfold. They also have a season pass that costs $9.99 and rotates every couple weeks, but that won't keep them from throwing even more ads at you. Horrible monetization, genuinely makes the game unplayable. The gameplay is not worth the time you watch ads instead.

This game is very Pay To Win. the game overall is very fun. there are a couple of songs that DO NOT match up with the beats. which make it very hard to get max rating on it/diamond rating. i’ve gotten so much better at the game, ever since i started it’s all about repetition. what bothers me is that it takes 350 points to unlock a case. a complete of a song is 150 points and you can have 3 cases at a time. so by playing 9 songs you fill up on cases and can no longer play songs (unless you pay with gems or money). the worst part is cases take either 3 hours to unlock or 5 hours. the cases reward you with cards. at first the song cases only take 5 cards to unlock but as you go along they get up to 30 cards needed to unlock. the 3 hour cases give you about 3 cards and the 5 hour cases give you about 5. so it takes many days to unlock a single case. i’ve been playing this game for about a month and i have about 60 out of 300+ songs. one person took an entire year to get all the songs. it would be different if the cases took 30 minuites or an hour, but you have to wait the time or spend gems(money). this game is cool for what it is but i’m sick of playing the same songs over and over and over and gaining no real reward for doing well on them (getting gold, platinum, or diamond doesn’t give you an rewards and doesn’t effect the case progression). if you want to play with game 9 times a day only then go for it. but i wish i wouldn’t have wasted my time :/

Great potential but unplayable. I’ve been playing this game for a few months now, and while it has potential to be a great game I have a few issues with it. My biggest issue is the lack of bug fixes. The game is jam packed with lag issues, timing issues, and input issues, which makes pushing for score improvements a nightmare given the brutal accuracy judgement system. The devs have been pumping out new songs, some of which are free which is nice, but struggle to maintain the functionality of the game for the entirety of its player base. The leaderboard system is a great way to test you skill and see how to match up against other players… except this leaderboard favors purchasing songs to improve rankings as it’s based on cumulative score. This would be fine for someone properly motivated and had the means to purchase the songs, however there are also multiple songs that have been vaulted and not rereleased. So if your intentions are to get on that leaderboard you’ll be at least another 4 months and couple hundred dollars away from even having enough songs to do so. I’ve been avoiding spending money to unlock these songs as I’m not even able to finish most songs due to random input errors. But because I have still spent some money on it I can’t bring myself to delete it. The player base is at the mercy of the devs at this point, and it’s up to them to make their game functional for all of their players.

Wanted to love it.. The game itself is super fun and there’s a lot of great music. My issue is as with most games too many paywalls. I was content to play the free version and watch ads but you have to watch ridiculously long ads and then suddenly you can’t play songs on gore and the game tries to sell you premium. However it never tells you when you run out of plays. At least not that I can find. I’ll be playing then suddenly I have no more plays with no visual representation of why. No way to get any free diamonds or whatever they’re called, they are purchase only so you end up with unlocked chests you can’t open. Would rather have had a pay once (ten bucks or so?) for the game then no restrictions. I think the plays is controlled by your box slots at the bottom. Once you’re full it won’t let you continue playing unless you pay money. Typical predatory tactics. I know the game is there to make money but for those that don’t want to spend you can only play for a few minutes then you have to wait a lock time until you can open one of the boxes to free a spot to keep playing and the game never explains this to you. You can watch an adult but these ads are 30 seconds and up. Some are several minutes and you’ll have to watch it every time you want to play. No thanks. The funny part is this exact thing has been mentioned ina ton of reviews and the developers always reply acting as if they care. Yet it’s not changed. So yeah. Moving on.

kinda annoying. i love this game. but i hate the fact that i have to watch an ad to play any song. even to redo a song. even if i fail at a song within like 10 seconds. i understand that i can pay gems to play whatever i want for 30 minutes, but i know that’s just a way for the app developers to grab money from players since gems are very difficult to earn. because of that, i have to resort to watching an ad every. single. time. i wouldn’t care as much about this if the ads didn’t become unavailable after a little while. then i have no choice but to use gems, or just stop playing overall. developers, you should at least make it to where for each ad you watch you get anywhere from 10-15 mins of unlimited play. so that way, you guys can still have the premium option where players can still pay money to play, but let those of us who are broke and have no money still be able to enjoy the game without being forced to stop, or having to endure more ads than we play the game itself. UPDATE: now, there’s an ad i’m getting that is glitched and ends on a black screen with no way to exit out of it without swiping out of the app, which then counts as an ad watched but doesn’t count towards me playing a song. so i end up with only half the “extra” chances to play a song while full on the cases. I DONT CARE ABOUT THE CASES. i just want to play the songs.

Not Enough Older, More Popular Artists & Songs!!. I enjoy playing this game very much I’m not crazy about spending money for no commercials or opening boxes so I can play straight through, but every game has a gimmick and that is Beatstars. What I and a lot of my friends don’t like is the very limited song choice. I’m middle age and you’ve gotten a huge array of songs for 20 year olds but not many for older players . Artists like Micheal Jackson, Prince, Aerosmith, Journey, U2, The Stones the list is endless. You also forgot a whole CATEGORY …… COUNTY MUSIC! You are very limited in your song choices . I have all the songs available which is a little over 220 songs , so I just have to keep playing the same songs over and over you need much more songs. The game would be so much more enjoyable with a greater variety of music. Also you can only get to level 16 after that you give us no more challenge reasons to get stars if you can’t advance anymore. Overall a good game but it has the potential for being a great game especially for people who can afford to pay to play. If you gear this game with more Popular Artists availability and cut the gem amount usage down a bit, a-lot more people would not lose interest . WE WOULD PLAY FOR HOURS IT’S THAT ADDICTIVE !!!!

Great gameplay for a few minutes. Let me start by saying the gameplay is challenging and engaging, especially on hard and extreme difficulty with a great song selection giving a variety of genres and hit songs. Unfortunately that’s where the fun stops. If I fail a song enough times (whether it’s genuinely challenging or I’m trying to get a high score) it fills up the chest meter which I’m all for BUT when you fill up on the 3 chests you can receive you can no longer play the game without shelling out $5 for a week for unlimited play. Supercell has done a great job making my money feel worth what I’m getting but for beatstar it feels like I’m being taken advantage of. Since I like your game so I have to give 5 bucks a week in order to play as consistently as I would like? Really fun game but please treat those of us who want to play your game like you want us to continue playing. I opened the game for the first time in a few weeks because every time I open the app I have 2 chests already and After a few tries/songs that’s it. Then it’s back to forgetting about it since I barely got to play in the first place. Unlimited play should be free considering it’s tough enough unlocking new songs without all the restrictions. Or at the very least give unlimited play for songs you have 5 stars for already so we won’t be able to unlock new songs from playing and we can still try to perfect said songs. Please fix this because I actually like this app and it has potential to be 5 stars

Fun but annoying. One of the best rhythm games out there. Seriously. Which is why it’s so disappointing that they put in that stupid timed case opening mechanic that every greedy iPhone game had about 5-7 years ago, where you can spend gems (purchased with real money, of course, or drip-fed through daily/ad rewards) to skip wait timers. I thought for sure we’d moved past that mechanic, but I guess not. I want so badly to recommend this game to people, but the steep drop off in enjoyable content keeps that from happening. The timers increase with each box you open, and discourage you from actually playing the game. And progress is nearly nonexistent, with new songs being unlocked from collecting enough “cards” from those boxes. Seriously, it’s like EA levels of gameplay interference. I’m gonna delete for now I think, hopefully they come up with a less disrespectful way to encourage player engagement/purchase. I’d be pretty cool with some sort of one-time purchase that removed the case mechanic and replaced the IAP shop with a shop where you can use coins (earned by playing the game) to unlock either random or picked songs. THAT is a far more ethical way to structure progression and purchase in a video game.

Incredible game with one problem. I’d first like to say I love this game. Insanely addicting with a great UI. From top to bottom this game looks and plays amazing. Great songs and extremely challenging. Love the leaderboard/ranking aspect as well. My one and only problem with this game (and I completely understand this is how mobile games specifically are with microtransactions and how devs make a well deserved profit off of all their hard work) is the WAITING TIME. Not being able to play at all because I’m waiting 3-5 hours for a box to open is super frustrating. ESPECIALLY when I’ve bought the season pass and cannot progress any further. Like I’ve invested $10 because of how much I love the game but because of this feature I’m being prevented from playing more. And I understand you can use the diamonds to speed up the process and how the diamond/microtransactions thing works but I’m shocked to see the team hasn’t put in an option to purchase unlimited play indefinitely. I think they’d be surprised to see how many people are choosing a one-time purchase of $40-$50 on the game just to continue the grind. I know I certainly would. Or even just allowing players to continue playing without earning points towards boxes given they have no available space left. I’ve never played a mobile game where I’m willing to wait it out and see if an option such as this gets put into the game, but this one is the exception.

Fun game, good mechanics, classic look. What immediately sets this game apart from the rest is its unobtrusive ads. I’m the kind of player who will delete an app if an ad shows up unprompted. The song selection is appropriately moderate with a box reward system that manages to work in the game’s favor. The vibration is a nice feature and the audio sync calibration setting is thoughtful. The beats show up in one of three lines which might seem underwhelming, but this is in fact the most effective use of the tap mechanic. We only have two thumbs! Something I might consider for the game’s improvement would be an option to adjust the location of the ‘perfect’ line as some people hold their devices comfortably in slightly different locations, especially given the variety of sizes and models being used to play. Also adding a practice mode where players can begin on a select stage of a song might improve the experience, especially for players who find this game challenging; currently stages are all consecutive, so trying to improve on the more difficult stages requires a great deal of replaying through parts we’ve already nailed. Overall, this game seems to be the rhythm game we’ve all been looking for and I look forward to seeing its future developments.

Love-Hate Relationship. i absolutely love this game and despise it at the same time. It's really good, probably one of the best games i'm able to play with my friends. But there's a few issues that get in the way and are very frustrating. 1- There's a bug that hasn't been fixed for a very long time yet every week they have an update for bug fixes, and the one very annoying bug they haven't fixed is sometimes you tap, and it registers late and you get a great or in rare cases a "late tap", or it doesn't register at all and you have to either spend gems to continue the song or restart the song. that gets very frustrating when you're doing very good in a song, any song, easy, hard, or extreme. 2- the amount of time it takes to unlock a song is boring and takes forever. i have about 50 songs and almost 40 of them are Diamond. you can't get a better medal than diamond, so I'm running out of songs to play to try and unlock a box and then eventually a song. they need to come out with a rare case where you can unlock a whole genre case, but it takes 24 hours to unlock, I'd rather do that than wait 100 hours to finally unlock a song that took me 20 different cases to unlock. Don't get me wrong tho, this game is pretty freaking great and deserves 5 stars, but the bugs and the amount of time it takes to unlock new songs just makes you want to stop playing after getting to a certain point.

Amazing except. Like everyone has stated this game is great with the exception of a few things. Read previous reviews to see what. Now with that being the one main issue I have is when I play the game I clearly have touched the note/bar and it misses the note/bar entirely! Even on the long notes you have to keep pressed. My finger is down and it just keep going on missing all the notes/bars entirely. I hope this gets fixed and that me and my spouse aren’t the only ones with this issue. It’s frustrating cause I don’t wanna spend money or the gems to constantly revive myself just to finish one song. Edit: Although I still like the game. The inconsistency of notes being missed when you clearing are tapping the screen has become ridiculous!! Almost every song now does this. Missing a note when you clearly tapped it. I can’t stand that. I feel as if that is a ploy to get the user to buy more gems to not get messed up on a song because of the missing a note thing. Very irritating when you know you are doing so well on a song and bam “ oh btw we forgot to register your tap sorry. Good luck next time. Or you can continue enjoying playing the song by spending some gems. Do you wanna know more?”

I’m having issues. I absolutely love this game! My friend started playing it, and she’s also addicted. However, I have a few concerns that I’ve noticed since I’ve been playing for about a week. First, I noticed someone else pointed this out. I bought unlimited plays and have been striving to get every song under a gold metal. I’ve noticed sometimes when I play it will give me the yellow instead of green when I know I am tapping on the perfect bar. I have also noticed it is VERY hard to distinguish between “perfect” and “perfect+” which makes it difficult to surpass your last high score. It all rides on if you have perfect+ or not. Also, I know every song is a different speed and length, but some songs I’ve found harder to get high scores on due to the lack of pace. I don’t get nearly as many 200 streaks on them, causing my score to not be enough. I’ve also noticed when I didn’t get every note perfect, I got a decent score. I’ll play again and get a perfect on every note and still get a smaller score than when I didn’t hit every note. Lastly, I woke up this morning and played a bit. I went back to bed and woke up to play, and my app is NOT loading. I’ve tested my service and it’s working. My other games are working, but BeatStar won’t load. I’m not sure when my week of unlimited plays ends, but I hope this won’t mess with it.

This is the best music tiles game but there’s a catch.. I have played many games like this one but this is top notch. I have been playing this game on the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the graphics, visuals, and sounds are stunning. The music is crisp and the choices are amazing. The colors when you play a song gets progressively more vibrant and interesting as you play the song and it’s a cool feature that adds an extra layer to the good music. There is a couple things that I am not a fan of. You cannot play more music because there are too many boxes to open and it takes at least three hours to open the most basic one. It would be fine if they required more points to achieve or if you could continue to play music and just deal with the consequence of not getting more boxes when playing the song. Either would be fine for me and that’s my main complaint. The last and not as important complaint is the country music choice. I am an avid country listener and the country choices are very pop and I would like to see more songs from country artists like Josh Turner or Johnny Cash. It would be nice to get some classic country music that is not about going to an Applebee's for a “fancy” dinner.

Very well designed game with a great UI.. The game is fun to play, and despite the simplicity of the controls it’s very engaging. The songs are well-synced to the tiles; there’s even a feature that lets you choose the delay for Bluetooth headphones. As for difficulty, it starts out being a little easy. But once you get to more difficult songs you’ll see how the controls get interesting. I loved it, that is until I noticed how money-grubbing this is. Ads are a necessary part of the App Store, I understand that. But at some point you have to watch an ad between every song. The game is so good, I am willing to pay to not have to do that. And you can! $4.99 and you can play freely without ads… for a week. There are beautifully designed, full-length games on the App Store for that price and you get a whole experience. This app expects that every week just for a Tap Tap clone (albeit a great one). Like I said, I’d be willing to pay that ONCE, maybe even monthly. But that is just disgusting. I had to delete it for that. If you’re okay with full-length ads between each session, or are willing to cough up $4.99 once a week, this is a great game. But your wallet won’t love you. As for a suggestion, either make the game a one-time purchase and keep the in-game currency. That would allow for micro-transactions and continued revenue without preying on players. Either that, or make the $4.99 a monthly charge. If that’s the choice, perhaps $.99 to $2.99 would be understandable.

Was good then turned into a money grab. Game is super fun and enjoyable for the first little while a pleasant mobile rhythm game with no ads and as a professional rhythm gamer I can say confidently that I still have not gotten any songs I really wanted even on the wishlist when I get a wishlist box it always and I mean always gives me the song I didn’t want the most I even spent $20+ just trying to get songs that I wanted to play instead of songs that I genuinely just didn’t have interest in I have to give this game credit where it is due I do find it awesome that there are songs that are well respected in the OSU! Community and that they are mapped pretty well tho I don’t want to pay money on the slim chance to even get the song and let’s say theoretically I got the song I wanted as I’m grinding to get it diamond I’ll end up having to scroll through every twitter post they made since 1900’s to get 30 min free play time that is kinda sad. I do think that if your going to respect the culture of the rhythm game to go this far to make a good one you are ruining it with mobile transactions and not just letting us play, I would have kept playing this and bought the cool battle pass instead to support the game if I was able to play the songs I wanted instead of songs I don’t want to. Definitely a cool game but not innovative at all just another cash grab at the end of the day but I hope you take my money and use it to make this game better than making the game worse.

Amazing. So the app overall is amazing. I’ve been playing for roughly 30 minutes and I’ve had no ad! I’m excited about the at because I don’t have to wait long plus when you have ads it just makes the game slightly more laggy. I cannot get over the fact that this game is challenging, and also exciting. I have never found an app so useful in my life! I dont know if this is just me but if I was everyone I would definitely download this game! It definitely does take up some space but that is normal. I’ve recommended this game to family members because of how good it is. I don’t really understand the other reviews though. I read one saying that “I paid for a box to open for $10 and I don’t like waiting for 1-3 hours for it to open”. Now I get this but I feel like the game could also like just be fun to play instead of buying things. I would love to buy some things on this app but I feel like it would be a waste of money so for now in just playing the game and enjoying it while I can. There are not very many bugs but in the first hour I feel like we should have a more open choice of songs. Although this app is great, the bugs not so much. There is not really much of a need for an update but much apreaciated. Thank you for making this game!!!!! Sorry for such a long review. No work needed for now in my opinion. Thank you for reading. 10-10 must recommend. ت シ 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝𝚜 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚢𝚎!

Amazing. At first, I was happy if I got 5 stars, that was my goal. The medals were for the pros. I had about twenty songs or so, a couple hards (Impossible), and I got my first gold. Now I had a new goal. Along the way I got a lot more songs and I got a lot better. Having never played other games like this before, I was never into RS or GH, I had zero experience. But as I get better my goals keep changing, and each time they do I keep getting more and more songs to reach the new goals with. The game doesnt really end. I cant imagine it will for a very long time. Im now at the point where a platinum brings little emotion and its diamond or bust, but grtting the perfect score is still something I can imagine will take a very long time to do on each song. Especially the hards and extremes (which, for me, are no longer impossible) They dont ask for money or force ads. Theres incentive to watch them if you wish, and I honestly need to stop throwing my money at them for all their offers, but thats on me and due to the game being so enjoyable. Definitely worth the download, time, recommendation. Easy 9.5 if this were a 10 point rating system Oh... to the devs... there is a song or two with lyrics I cant even describe here, let alone quote, you may want to rethink? Or change the age from 9 to 17 for sure...

Very good game, but could be better. I really like this game. The UI is super clean and feels good to navigate. The songs are great and there’s a good mix of genres. The only thing I don’t enjoy is the arrow keys. This game should be all about Rhythm and flow, but the arrows ruin that. First off, there should be different colors for each arrow direction cus when your playing a fast song they all pretty much blend together. Also they usually just feel unnatural to swipe a certain way randomly when your doing great with the regular taps. It just seems like an unnecessary addition to increase the difficulty. If they want to make it harder then just add more keys faster to go along with the beat like they would in the classic Guitar hero’s. It sounds dumb to copy them, but it’s been the best music game for like 15 years for a reason. Also a lot of people who play these games are perfectionists and want a perfect score which means they restart when they get a key wrong. The way to restart a song is way too long. You have to quit the song and wait till you get all your stars and start the whole process over. There should be a dedicated restart button when you pause the song. Besides those things it’s a fun challenging game and they have features to not make it seem stale after a while. Definitely one of the best music rhythm games on the App Store in a while.

Skip options!. The gameplay and song choices are great! You also don’t get ads every five seconds! And the fact that I get a new song fairly quickly, is great! The different buttons and pressing mechanisms are good, too! They add variety and keep you on your toes! The ONLY downfall is the skip option when you fail the level. It doesn’t exist. If you fail, you get the option to wait 5 seconds to just retry, or you can just pay a certain amount of diamonds to resume and try again. Now, 5 seconds isn’t that long. But when you’re playing a hard level and you’ve already failed 15 times and you want to go again and don’t have the diamonds to pay up, IT GETS VERY ANNOYING. Needless to say, I gave up quickly. Not because I was mad at the failing. But because I was so angry to wait when I could skip and just retry quicker from the beginning! Instead of having to “decide” within seconds that I couldn’t afford to resume! It’s minimal but I think necessary. Devs, if you could implement this, I’d love the game 10x more. When I’m done being angry at my own incompetence, I’ll restart the song I failed over and over again. If I could rate a half of a star, this would be 4.5 out of 5 instead. The skip button-THAT DOESN'T EXIST-is the only issue I have with this.

I used to love this game/not so fun anymore. When I first got this game I was stoked. Finally a game that was something like guitar hero but for your phone. I played all the time getting the unlimited play for a week until one day I unlocked all the songs and then I had automatic unlimited play! That was the best feature of the game because I could play and improve my scores and not be confined to unlocking boxes every three-5 hours to play again because playing one song 3 times fills up a box and then you have to wait…..hours. Makes it really hard to practice and improve. Anyway I finally unlocked unlimited play for all my songs and then they dropped the Deluxe version of songs. I lost unlimited play because songs I already had now had a different version or way to play them. The worst is that they dropped 16 new versions at one time and each deluxe version of a song takes 100 cards to fill the box to get a new one. So I quit playing and quit telling my friends about it. There is no way to improve your score on songs if you can only play them three times an hour anymore and the game lost all its luster for me. I felt like the developers got greedy at that point and just wanted you to spend the money for the unlimited play and it made it close to impossible to get it back. Not so fun anymore.

Feels AMAZING to play, just some small suggestions. I’ve been playing this for around a month now and it is definitely by far the best executed rhythm game I’ve seen that uses copyrighted songs. The levels feel really smooth and the animations/vfx are great. One thing that I want to suggest would be to show the note grade breakdown along with your high score on the main page. Right now, each level only shows your highest score. The note breakdown (number of Perfect+, Perfect, Great) only appears after you play a level. This is a very minor request but as someone who is trying to perfect all the levels I think it would be helpful to see it. I was thinking that maybe the user could tap the high score number on the main page of each level and it would switch to show the note breakdown of that run, and then tapping it again would switch it back to the high score. My other suggestion is that I don’t think the boxes you purchase for 149 should be random, I think you should be able to select a song from that. But honestly I don’t really care I just think it would make them a worthier purchase, maybe raise the price but make it not random? Overall great game, I recommended to 6 of my friends they are all addicted.

Good game +Issues. This game is really good I really enjoy playing it especially playing challenges with my brother. But, there are some issues that tend to be very annoying. 1. Sometimes when I play a song, the music just stops and then comes back after a few seconds. This causes me to lose points since the music is the best part (My opinion 😅). 2. This is kind of like the first one I guess but when I play a song, it just lags me out of the game and refreshes the app. It gets annoying especially if I have a really good score. Okay so this isn't really an issue but maybe a suggestion? I feel like you should add more boxes other than 3 because I don't really want to pay to have unlimited trials. Maybe add like 5 boxes. Or, every level or so, you can earn 1 box which will add up to your 3 boxes. I just think its kind of unfair because after a little while you have to start watching ads in order to play. Then if you watch ads, its not going to be available for a while. Yes I know you can pay diamonds and yes I did that when I first started the game because Im impatient but sometimes I don’t have enough diamonds or Im saving up for something. But, this is just a suggestion. Overall, I really think this is an excellent game. If you haven’t already downloaded it, I recommend you try it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 Stars for me! 😊

Bugs. I love this app because the music is diverse and the gameplay is awesome. The visual asthmatics for the songs are really cool as well and the competition with friends adds to the appeal. It’s a great app but I am kicked off the app at least once an hour. If I’m not being kicked off, the keys will lag and mess up my gameplay. Just making it so I wasn’t kicked off every hour would make this a 5 star game. I don’t even know how many gems I’ve wasted on songs I never finished because the app felt like shutting down. Had the game for months so I’d wager close to 500. If y’all are tracking this bug already I hope you find a fix soon. If not, I’d be more than happy to give you more specifics if you want to reach out. Thanks for the app, you guys are awesome! Suggestion for gameplay: I think things like high scores on songs should be rewarded. It doesn’t have to be much either, like 5 gems or something, for getting gold and maybe increase with each medal. Or maybe a bit less than 5 considering the number of songs available. Still though, a song box with a single song costs 150 gems and diamonds aren’t super easy to get. Another idea might be to include some unlimited play, at least 24 hours, with the season pass. Lastly, the token wheel should have better prizes. 6 cards after getting 1st on the podium in an event isn’t worth it.

BIG BUG. So let me start off by saying I absolutely adore this game! It's one of the best rhythm games on the market that includes actual songs that you might have in your playlist rather than a generic tune. I've been playing it for a couple months now and have gotten pretty far and gotten better. However, about a couple weeks ago I started to notice some pretty big lag spikes in the middle of some songs. Now this might just be my internet but I normally don't have issues running much higher demanding games. I shrugged this off as a little glitch that was annoying but not unable to work around. NOW I've noticed a MUCH bigger bug that has happened on both my game and my boyfriends. When tapping through a song there is a tendency for the far left column to not register your tap at all! This is incredibly frustrating if you have a series of double taps and the note just cruises on by right under your thumb, leaving you dumbfounded on if you tapped it or not. It does not only happen on fast songs such as extreme or hard though, I've also witnessed it on incredibly slow easy songs where there is no way I could have missed it when my thumb is right ontop of it. I really hope this gets fixed in the next update because it is slowly making the game unplayable!

One of the best rhythm games I’ve ever played BUT…... This is by far one of the best rhythm games I’ve ever played. The level actually get difficult and the songs are really well known and good. There is a very steep learning curve going from normal to hard difficulty but it’s fun to replay songs and get better each time. There is one huge draw back however. As you play levels you get points, these points unlock crates. Most crates take 1.5 hours to open and at the end you get a new song or cards towards a new song. This is a good system HOWEVER you can only have three crates at once. And unlike other games with this system, you can ONLY have these three crates. If you fill up all of your slots you can’t play for AN HOUR AND A HALF. Once you’re done waiting you have another five minutes of play time until you have to wait again. This gets even worse if you have to unlock a FIVE HOUR CRATE. This basically forces you to spend gems and thus money if you want to play the game for more than a few minutes. If it wasn’t for this feature I would give the gave all 5 stars and write it down as one of the best mobile games I’ve played by far, however with this feature, all the fun is taken out of it. I hope and pray the developers will allow you to play with full crates but I have a feeling there is too much money to be made. If the feature is ever changed then I will happily change my review to 5 stars.

One HUGE Flaw. The game is immense fun, stellar songs, beautiful graphics and design, easy to traverse with perfect touch accuracy as far as I can tell. My only complaint, though it’s a massive complaint that has me considering uninstalling, would be that I can’t play while my 3 spaces to unlock boxes are full. Effectively kicking me out of the game for 3-5 hours minimum, typically longer because ADHD, only for me to be able to play maybe 3 songs before the cycle repeats. It’s *extremely* aggravating that the second I start to get in the rhythm of the game, I suddenly can’t play anymore. I understand that unlimited play is sold for in game currency but the in game currency is extremely difficult to earn and I’d rather spend it trying to unlock said boxes. And sure I could buy currency for real money, which I don’t have issue with, but I rather buy currency to get more songs or once again open boxes. Furthermore, the bonus 30 minutes unlimited play for buying songs isn’t worth it. I end up stressed about the time, while also losing focus on the song, ultimately not enjoying it. Change your focus. Offer free unlimited play losing out on earning cards/boxes and progress for the season pass event entirely. Whereas for coins you can keep your earnings while you play, as well as buy songs or unlock boxes as it is now. Maybe even offer a refresh on the daily bonus songs for a price. Otherwise I doubt you’ll truly see the success you want.

Very Fun Game! Has Potential!. Let me start by saying you should definitely be playing this game if you’re a fan of games like guitar hero in real life, it takes that concept and mashes it into a portable mini tap game you can play on your phone. Kinda like piano tiles on steroids but in a good way. I do believe on how great of an experience i’ve had playing for the last few hours and the excellent choice of music, that theres just so much more its capable of than just that. The developers at supercell did a great job with this one in terms of quality, i know im playing a great game when it doesnt feel cheap and riddled with ads and this game provides me with none of that. My only cents that i can provide to make this game more fresh and full of improvements is within regular constant updates to also add different gamemodes to give the players more to do than the same objective, i do love the “event” feature which is a great step forward. Online Multiplayer is a great option, and apart from that side it would be neat to add some lyrics to the songs in game to add some flair to the gameplay (not really that big a difference but would be neat), and lastly I believe it could use some changes to the background, maybe a way to customize and earn live backgrounds or keys so you can grind for new prizes. But overall besides my opinion i still think its a well made game, and for that i give it 4 stars. If they keep adding and keeping it fresh i’ll provide that extra star :)

A few glitches/problems. I’m just going to say that I love this game, and it is one of my top favorite phone games to play. But, while playing the game me and my friends have experienced some glitches while playing songs. The first glitch, is whenever it registers a Perfect+/Perfect as a great. Now, yes, sometimes this is the players fault, but there have been times where it most obviously is not because the players finger taped the tile right as it was on the perfect bar. This gets a little annoying, but my friends and I can live through it. The main issue I experience with normally hard and extreme songs, is that it doesn’t register my finger when it taps and then I miss a tile. This gets extremely annoying and frustrating after a while, because I personally don’t want to spend gems on reviving myself when it’s just going to happen again in the game. The last thing that I’ve experienced is that a couple of months ago now, I bought the unlimited play for a week, but it only lasted for about 5-6 days. I personally hate spending money on a game, so this personally made me really annoyed. Of course I got over it, because it was only 5 dollars but I would have liked to get all that I payed for. Other than these 3 things that maybe are just for me, the game is very well made and fun. I would recommend buying, but I would like the game to get fixed. (if possible)

Best mobile rhythm game out there.. First off, this game is outstanding. The UI is simplistic and beautiful while still feeling smooth and snappy. The games audio design is literally one of a kind, the blurs of audio when scrolling through UIs is incredible. And even stuff like loading a song feels amazing. The gameplay is even better, with subtle things like Haptic Touch, and the first mobile rhythm game out there to incorporate swiping. And finally the songs are ABSOLUTE BANGERS. I connected my supercell account to find some nice songs to see absolute banger remixes of my favourite games theme songs. This game is amazing, stand-alone 5 out of 5!

Love this game. This game is highly addicting and offers a great variety of songs to unlock and play. I play this game nearly everyday, any music lovers out there are bound to love this game. The only ‘bad’ thing I would say about this game is that when you unlock a new case, it gets full fairly fast. You can play around 4 or 5 songs, maybe more, I am not sure, but then to unlock a new case takes either 3 or 5 hours, unless you want to be spending a fortune on diamonds. It sometimes is quite annoying but this game is still a favourite game for me and have definitely gotten my fingers moving. I love the different levels of difficulty, normal, hard, and extreme. Give this game a go!

best rhythm game out there!. 4 ⭐️ i’m so pleasantly surprised with this game! it has an intuitive UI, (mostly) properly timed beats, the actual songs instead of poor covers (i understand why other games have that - copyright) and is overall very satisfying to use. the team behind this game often listen to feedback and tweak the game accordingly. here are my issues: this is most prevalent in the normal-difficulty songs but the first few stages often have strange mapping/beat times. the timing of the tiles seem to swap between the tempo of the songs and the lyrics, with no real pattern. this gets VERY confusing as many songs do not have lyrics that line up with the beat & if you’ve never listened to that song before you’ll have even more trouble. it’s ironic that i find the hard/extreme songs *easier* than the normal songs. i’m more likely to break a combo during stages 1-3 on a normal song, than i am on stage 4 of a hard song. they also took away unlimited play. you must have a space open for a song case, but if you’re like me (and the majority of players) you just want to keep playing. however, if there are already 3 cases - which happens very fast - you MUST wait for 1 to unlock (hours at a time) what was the purpose of this?? went from a 5 to a 4

A suggestion. One of my favourite things about this game is the large variety of songs it has. With daily challenges, song boxes and the beat pass it is not too difficult to obtain many songs that you enjoy playing. Due to the ease in which you can obtain songs, it is inevitable that you find some songs that you enjoy playing more than others. With the large amount of songs that can build up in your library it can be hard to keep track of which songs you enjoy playing the most, especially if you take a short break from the game. I wish that there was a favouriting system of some sort where you can flag or mark songs as favourites to play so you can go back to them easily. Perhaps a way to make playlists for songs you want to prioritise playing to improve your score or songs that you like to play to warm up etc. thank you for the game.

Latest update has ended progress. Apparently I have unlocked all songs available for my level (even bought 2 more with gems). I have 5 starred 139 of 144 songs and have 710 stars total (would be 720 if I 5 starred everything) BUT in order to progress to the next level and unlock new songs, I need a total of 915 stars?? Now that the events are gone, I have no way to earn more stars unless I fork over more money for gems or do the (really) slow build up of 10 gems a day and unlock ONE new song every couple of weeks when I reach 149 gems. I like this game a lot but I hate being stuck at a point where I cannot progress any further unless I BUY stuff.

READ THIS ENTIRE THING THIS GAME IS AWESOME. I first downloaded this game a while ago. But I never actually played it. I forget I had it for a while. Then a year later I saw an add for it. I instantly wanted to get it. That's when I realised I already had it. I clicked on the app. BOOM. I was obsessed. Beatstar is an amazing game. You should download it. The sound quality of the songs is amazing. The only low point is that all the sound affects kinda ruin the song. The second song I ever played on this game was golden hour, which is one of my absolutely favourite songs. But all the sound affects made me annoyed. But otherwise, it is an awesome game. 5 stars

Quite disappointed. I love Beatstar, I had played it religiously for ages, then the new update came out and honestly I barely even open the app. This game is honestly amazing and totally different to almost other music games but I just can’t stand the update. If you only have one slot open you can play like 3 songs, which I find infuriating, I used to play the game for hours at a time and now I spend at most 30 minutes. It’s such a shame cause this game really had so much going for it, there were barely any ads, only when you chose to revive yourself or tried to get some more gems (which I think is totally fair), most of the packs were pretty fair priced, and there are so many different songs compared to what most piano/music games have. Now you have to buy season passes which are like $20+ if you want to more than 3 songs at a time. It’s really annoying when I’m trying to improve my score on a song too, cause if I’m scoring decently high I can only go over it very few times. I’m just rambling rn but I just wanted to get it out there, I think this game could really go places but this update has really screwed it over.

Money hungry but fun. First off, I will say that the (limited) gameplay itself is good fun, songs are recent and getting 5 stars actually means something because of how difficult it is to achieve. HOWEVER, I have several big problems with this game. Firstly, you can’t play several levels without watching an ad between every single level, which seems a bit ridiculous as the ads go for well over 30 seconds and gameplay is less than 2-3 minutes. Moreover, there is also no timer that indicates when you can start playing levels again without watching an ad, like candy crush, so you really just have to keep coming back to the app and check. Lastly, it’s very lame that you can only save progress between devices if you sign up with their special ID, there’s no reason why signing in with Facebook shouldn’t save your progress. Overall, the game is fun for what it is, but the extreme money hungriness from the developers is very off putting and feels hostile.

TapTap had a Baby!. I was an avid lover of the Populous TapTap Series and was crushed when it was no longer supported. Since then, I had trawled through countless iterations of these games, but never found one up to the standard of the OG TapTap games. Until Beatstar. My expectations were blown out of the water from the great selection of music, seamless interface and really high quality graphics and effects. I personally preferred the TapTap system of play (much like Guitar Hero) whereby you had a bar that dipped as you missed notes, instead of not being able to miss anything, but it was an easy adjustment to make. My only qualm is the inability to play endlessly and without ads - but understandably this is the new economy for gaming. Microtransactions are a feature in most games these days.

Well it’s so good I’m writing my first review. My friends and I have been playing in some “friendly competition” (three competitor perfectionists so it’s interesting 🤣) since we downloaded it a week ago. I’ve taken a star off as there are some things that would make it perfect…and turn me in to a full time hermit rather than being forced to stop and do housework (and obsessively watch the clock). I understand the importance of ads but if there are an option to pay for causal play (don’t progress and only songs you have) whilst waiting for case to open or ad-free or a combo. I’m sure you’d make a heap of money from that alone. I don’t usually pay for in app things but I would definitely pay for change to play continually even if slightly adapted to be casual play. I’ve also found that the app has started freezing on me as I’m loading an ad and then I have to force quit and I lose the slots or the chance to play 😢 Apart from those things I don’t think I’ve ever loved a game app so much, thank you from the trip of competitive perfectionists…hopefully we will survive each others competitive sides 🤣

This new update isn’t the greatest…. I’m usually a non stop player when it comes to this game, but this recent update has completely changed the gaming experience. The greatness of this game came from the satisfaction of being able to play whatever song you had unlocked as many times as you desired in order to better your own personal score. However, with this new ‘box slot is full’ mechanism, a huge restriction has been created that stops the player from playing this game all together. Having to wait for a slot to free up or having to pay gems is ultimately pointless as there realistically isnt any more u can do in app (especially with the events being put on hold for some reason.) Besides the actual songs and tapping of them, there is not much else to do in this game, therefore having to wait to free up slots, means the app becomes unusable. Not being able to go ahead and play the songs as many times as desired has sucked the fun out of the game completely. Prior to this update, apart from a couple of glitches ( i.e. not registering of tapping even though you had 100% tapped ) the game was incredibly enjoyable. I find myself opening the app less and less every week. It’s not as satisfying to complete anymore.

its fine. Two gripes with this game, super grindy and the taps sometimes dont register I need to play a song perfectly 3 times to get a case that can only give me 3-5 cards randomly. Each box increases the amount of cards needed when you have more songs so I need to randomly get 30ish cards of the same variant But ofcourse the cases have a 3 or 5 hour wait time and you can only open one at a time. Even if you just want to play casually. if you have have three cases that arent opened, you cant play the game anymore. Oh and the minute long ads to get two cards Like jesus dude Ofcourse every step of the way they try to make you use money. Want to play endlessly? Pay up Want another chance? Pay up Want to buy 2 random songs? Thats $7 bucks Also ofcourse a battle pass ontop of all of that I like this game alot but I can’t ignore how it dipfeeds you badly in every step of the process. Feels super predatory Also sometimes this game doesnt even register my touch. Super annoying since its gameplay relies heavily on being perfect Its fun when it works but they wont let you have a second to enjoy it without shoving microtransactions down your neck

Tiles out of time + limited play without pay. While this game has nice graphics and a good variety of songs, you do not get to play for very long before you must wait a long few hours before you can play again, unless you pay for unlimited turns. The tiles are also pretty hit or miss with how out of sync they are. For some songs, the tiles are almost perfectly synced to the lyrics or beats, however for others I honestly have no clue what on earth the tiles are synced to. I've tried changing my audio sync multiple times for multiple songs and it does absolutely nothing. Not to mention, I have no idea how but a lot of the time when 2 tiles come at the same time and I press them at the same time, one ends up being early and one ends up being late?? I'm sorry but I genuinely don't understand the science behind that but okay 🫶

Great Game but way too limited. I found this game recently and have been playing it nonstop but I am really irked by the box system. Taking time to unlock new music is fine but the fact it locks you out of playing until the box is opened? I don’t know if boxes take more coins at higher levels but for me that means I get to play 2 songs every hour and a half assuming I’m not opening a 5 hour box. And even the ads that let you bypass this run out! It’s like the game is encouraging people to either buy the ridiculously overpriced unlimited games for a week or play one song a day, people aren’t going to organise their schedule around when their next box is opening. It’s an amazing game besides that so please, let people play without rewards, I really need to beat my friend’s score.

theres a bug from the last update. I love this game, im literally addicted to it, however since the latest update i cant get more than 5 stars. I got 5 perfects and the rest perfect+ which is usually a definite diamond but i didn't even get 5 stars?? I think that i worked out the glitch but i'm not sure; normally when you press the beatstar tile when progressing to a different stage in a song, the tile gives you a boost in points, but since the last update the boost doesn't seem to happen - so even if you have an almost perfect score, you can't get enough points to reach past gold. It seems to only be a glitch in some songs though, and is especially prominant in the songs in the new tour pass box. Other than this glitch, amazing game! (also if you see this can you please add Tokyo by Phoebe Bridgers that would make me so happy)

More rock songs!. Loving the app already after playing it for a straight hour. And it’s one of the first games to actually have good rock songs. But we need more! Good selection of bands but more songs. Maybe Linkin Park or Green Day. Only problem is. When you reach max crates you have to wait hours to be able to play the game again which ends up ruining the game entirely when you can only play like 1 round and you have to stop again. I recommend that when you reach maximum crates, you won’t receive any more crate points but can still play and collect stars. I checked other reviews and the devs say they’re going to fix it ‘soon’ but it’s Ben a month since they responded to this other review and yet nothing has changed.

Basically pay to play. Love the game, It’s really enjoyable to play in my downtime however as other people have stated the problem with this game is after about 3 full songs you have to wait 3-5 hours to open a box so you can play again, unless you pay for a weeks worth of unlimited plays. The problem is this makes the game only accessible during certain hours of the day like I might go on my lunch break at work but I can’t play because I’m waiting for a box slot to open. And for a game with scores based on perfection of the songs, it’s hard to practice a song when I can only play it 3-5 times before I have to put the game down again. Seriously brings the quality of life down and is the only thing stopping this from a perfect 5. Still an enjoyable game I just got any more.

Coming back to the game disappointed. I have left this game for a long time and as I got back on it today I was really excited with events coming back and all the new songs added. However, after playing for 30 minutes or so I realised something new has changed for the absolute worst. That’s the ability to not be able to play an infinite amount of songs based on the crates you have collected. I feel like this is horrible because now I can’t practice songs over and over again to perfect them. Now I have to wait for hours just to play again. The ability to play infinitely was one of the reasons I absolutely adored this game but now that’s gone. It seems like the developers just want a money grab now since the game has gotten so popular. Really disappointed…

Best rhythm game on mobile but needs improvement. There are no random pop up ads, great quality, what more of a game can you get? There are some features that need to be looked at. First, the box opening system, waiting for about 3 hrs only to get 4 cards to unlock a box genre. This is similar to the chest opening system in clash Royale (where a silver chest needs 3 hours to unlock). Unlike clash Royale you can still play regardless of all the chest slots are full. In this game however, you have to wait for a slot to open up in order to play again, unless you pay gems to continue playing. This can be brutal, especially when you fail a song and want to retry, only the game not allowing you to do so. Next, level development, where levels can be changed up by mixing in different types on how to do commands ( eg swipe in a direction) and different rhythms. This makes certain songs that were easy at first only for them to be drastically more difficult because of these new additions. The lack of consistency of the songs and it’s rhythms as people replay them makes it more difficult to achieve higher scores without paying gems to continue when players fail. This game can become a top mobile game if they can look into these features and adjust the player’s experience.

Unlimited play :(. Absolutely love this game, been playing it for a fairly long time and got a fair few of my mates onto it so we could compete! Anyway, I stopped playing for a little bit (due to work and what not) and decided to come back today, I was absolutely obsessed with all the new additions and played it non stop until I got told I couldn’t anymore :( this is really disappointing to me as there used to be unlimited play and I understand micro-transactions are important and the way of future gaming however I’d love to see unlimited play return! I would sit here for hours playing all the songs until I get the diamond medal!

Really good game but few suggestions. I love playing a lot of the songs in this game and filling up the case slots but there’s just a few problems. If your in a song, if you accidentally tap on the screen anywhere while a note is in the box to press, then it makes you fail which is really annoying and when I concentrate I sometimes accidentally move my finger a tiny bit but just enough to hit the screen. Also it is sometimes a bit annoying when your having fun playing a certain song and trying to get a good score but then you run out of slots for the cases. But over all really good and well made game.👍

Amazing revival of this genre!. Edit: I won’t change my review, yet, but you seriously need to remove the forced adds to keep playing past level 4. I’m ready to uninstall I’m not playing a game that forces adds. I’d rather a small 1 off purchase to remove adds entirely. This is an awesome game that will really shine once some bugs are removed. There are so early glitches though that need to be sorted. When my iPhone went into low power mode in the middle of a song, the game stayed “paused” and couldn’t resume without force closing. Also, after the end of playing Sweet but Psycho, I was awarded electronic music tokens, enough for a new song, however when I tried to open the box the game froze again, upon opening the game again I was not awarded to tokens or song. Also, please reconsider the 30 second forced adds in a game that is going to generate enough revenue anyway, it’s almost enough to encourage me to put the game down. Pete#605

Good, but could be better. Add a casual mode. You guys sacrificed your player base for money and it shows. Having to buy unlimited plays is so stupid. It’s a great game, I love it and would play it much more often if I didn’t have to wait for hours just to play a song three times, then wait for three more hours. Having another way to earn stars would be good too because waiting around for boxes to be unlocked so you can earn cards to earn new songs really slows the gameplay and level progression, the game gets boring after a while. I haven’t noticed any glitches or bugs and I really like the gameplay within the songs themselves, however for people who are new to these kind of games, a good addition would be a casual mode available on every song that doesn’t give you any points or stars and it doesn’t matter if you miss any tiles. This should also be available when boxes are locked to get used to the song and the style of this game. It would make it easier to get used to the game and solve the issue of having nothing to do while waiting for boxes to unlock

Tapping to the Tune: The Unmatched Experience of 'Beatstar'. Beatstar is a rhythmic masterpiece that harmoniously combines compelling gameplay with an impressive array of music. The game's intuitive controls make it easy for newcomers to jump in, while its deeper layers offer a challenging experience for seasoned players. One of its standout features is the extensive music library, catering to various tastes, ensuring players never run out of fresh tracks to play. The graphics are sharp, vibrant, and perfectly synchronized with the beat, making each level feel like a visual concert. Regular updates bring in new content, ensuring that the game remains fresh and exciting. Plus, the social features and leaderboards add a competitive edge, motivating players to improve and climb the ranks. In a market saturated with rhythm games, Beatstar shines bright as a beacon of quality and entertainment. A resounding applause to the developers for creating such an engaging experience!

Would love this feature!. Would it be possible to have unlimited play on songs that you get the ‘Diamond’ rank in? And make it so that when you play those songs you don’t get any rewards/ levels/ tokens/ coins from them so it doesn’t speed up your progress in the game too much. I would just love to replay the songs that I enjoyed playing over and over again in my free time without having to wait for the cases to open or worrying about filling up the cases with coins I earned from replaying songs I already played. It might also encourage people to keep playing songs to get the ‘Diamond’ rank so that they can replay them. Amazing game otherwise! Thank you so much for all the fun I’m having on this!

Unlimited play should not be a payable option constantly. I love this game but hate the fact that unlimited play is restricted which I think is ridiculous. Fancy asking people to pay almost $8 just for a week on unlimited play. I can understand a one off payment needed for unlimited play but this game expects you to spend money constantly to keep playing. Honestly it just feels like a money grab. Every other game I have played will have a one off payment for unlimited pay but not this one. I can understand asking people to buy gems if the want to unlock songs/perks earlier but to constantly have to pay $8 for unlimited play? Also once you pay the huge amount needed for gems and unlimited play we should not be subjected to ads constantly. I love the game but I am sick of playing for 8 mins before I'm locked out for hours at a time. I can understand why many people delete the app and look for similar ones that only need a one off payment. Just greed from the developers.

Great alternative to piano tiles but a few flaws. This game is fun and a great alternative to piano tiles but as a frequent player of this game I have noticed some issues with the game that degrades the game a lot. One of the problems with this game is the boxes and how once you fill them you can't play anymore unless you pay gems ( which take forever to get without paying ) or watch an ad, which is bad enough already but eventually, the game won't let you even do that and force you to have to use gems if you want to continue playing. Another issue is that things that cost gems cost a lot of them. For example when you want to open a box with gems for ones that have 3 hours you have to pay 40 gems! Now you try tell me that's not absurd! I get that you do get 5 free gems a day but maybe think about moving that number up a bit to maybe 10 or 15 gems and or lowering the price to open boxes or get songs to solve this issue. Though as I said before, this game is a great alternative to piano tiles and I prefer it a lot more in terms of asthetics and style and also the face all the ads are volentery. This is still a great game, despite its flaws but please take my comments into consideration when trying to improve the game!🙃🙃❤️❤️

Taps are not sensitive enough and do not always work.. Hello, Beatstar Developers. I am someone who has enjoyed you game for a long time and it is an amazing game once you get into it even if you don't spend money. I've been improving my scores slowly and been having so much fun while doing it over the last year and I've reached the row 2% which I'm proud of. But recently I've had an issue with the reactivity of some beats in all of the song I've been playing ranging from, normal to deluxe extreme where they just wouldn't react to me tapping them. This has resulted in me having to use more gems than I've ever had to use in order to complete a song. Im not sure if this issue is caused by the graphics going up recently and my phone not being able to keep up (my phone is in iPhone X) or if you have created a glitch in recent updates. I would love if you would be able to fix this problem ASAP so that I and many others could start playing your game without having to spend upwards of 8 gems to play a song all the way through. Thank you for hearing me out. Kind regards, Miki Weber.

Bringing back memories of tap tap!. First off I love this game. It reminds me of when the first games were released for iPhone and iPod touch and I’d spend hours on tap tap revenge. There are a few tweeks I’d like to see like a one off price to remove ads, and the ability to earn gems somehow not just by purchasing them. Also and maybe this defeats the purpose but a “practice” mode would be great to see. Just like guitar hero has. It also isn’t that clear when you add songs to your favourites that you only get one on the list you can use! Again maybe a premium version for a one off fee to implement some of these features. The thing that really makes this a 5 star app to me though, is that as far as I can see, game play is continuous. There are no lives to recharge or anything like that. It is basically a free game. Please keep up the good work!

This game is great but a few minor problems. I have loved this game since i started playing however when i want to collect stars i can get very frustrated due to the chests issue this stops players from grinding the game and forces them to use there gems i was recommended this game by clash royal and am very happy i was but imagine in clash royal if you could not play until your chest slots were not full this also stops players from playing the game i love some of the songs you have put in and i hope there are heaps in the future. And if players have to pay for vip then everyone will get mad since lots of people here are young or may not be able to pay for things like these keep up the great work Thanks

Chests take too long to open. I recently installed this game and is actually pretty good I didn’t think that I would like it but instantly I was obsessed. After I played 6 songs then I had to wait between 3-5 hours just to play again purely because the chest has to open the only thing bad about the game is the cap on how long you can play you should be able to play for as long as you want without having to wait although you can watch ads to play again but eventually after like 6 ads they run out and you have to wait another couple of hours I think that this should be fixed as soon as possible because it will lose the company a huge amount of players cause they have to wait then they give up as my mate did and so did my brother because they got sick of waiting

Great game, but PLEASE….. Okay this game has to be one of the best music games I’ve ever played or even the best, but one thing that is annoying and probably other players a lot (and I think someone else have mentioned it in the reviews) and that would be the forced ads, after 1 to 4 games the game starts forcing u to watch at least 5 to 10 seconds ads after you finish a song, it was fine for the first few times but after a while it got extremely annoying and I hope you guys find a way for us players to have a way to remove the ads, such as spending a few dollars, this is a great game and I am willing to have an option to pay a few dollars to remove the forced ads.

Suggestions. Well I applaud the game for its level of polish, I find the monetisation very confusing. Like, I understand a free to play game has to make money somehow, but not being able to unlock the songs I want is annoying. In the game, you unlock boxes which give you random cards that go towards unlocking songs of a certain genre. There is virtually no way to actually get a specific song that you want, whether that be from grinding or paying. This removes any sense of freedom of choice from the game and can lead to a lack of interest in the game when the songs you want are unobtainable. I suggest a sort of shop which catalogs all the songs in the game, which can be bought with in-game currency. This way, players can play what they want, it will motivate them into playing more to earn currency, and most of all, the developers don’t lose any money as there will still be people who choose to pay to unlock the songs.

Limited play time. Massive fan of these style of games since the since of the original Tap Tap Revenge! Since tap tap has been gone I’ve been looking for a replacement, none of which satisfied. This app is the best since and has some huge potential. Disappointing that the producers of the game see limiting game play as a way of trying to make more money. Lots of games are doing it and I understand it but only being able to play about 3 songs until you have to wait for another chest to be open (1 at a time) is ridiculous and just frustrating. Maybe create a perk to be able to unlock more than 1 chest at a time without having to pay or speed up unlock time!

Pay Wall. Ok I do have to say this game is really good, the quantity of well made songs with more coming out all the time just demonstrates how hard the team behind this game are working, although some levels such as “death bed” don’t quite link up making it hard to consistently get perfect+ using the music alone. The biggest issue I have is the paywall you hit after playing like 5 or 6 songs, there is no indicator demonstrating how many plays of songs you have left before you are reduced to buying unlimited plays (which in themselves are too over priced, a dollar a day is literally 4 times more expensive than normal subscription services). It would be helpful putting in, say, and energy indicator so you are able to see how many plays you have left and when you will be able to play again once you run out of said energy. All in all it’s a great game but it feels extremely pay to play when you take into account the little amount of plays you can get each day.

Game has changed for the worst. I used to play this game all the time but had it deleted for a short while due to space issues. When I redownloaded I’ve noticed a new system with the gems/boxes impacting play. Originally, from memory, you were able to continue playing with no open spots available if you sacrificed collecting more boxes, however now you can’t continue to play unless you have a free slot. I feel like this really takes the fun out of the game and I don’t play it as often as I’d like to. I find myself waiting for hours now to play and when I return I only have the one slot left which is only good for a few runs through a song. Don’t get me wrong, the game itself is great but having to wait so long has just diminished the joy I get from it now. Based on this I think I may end up deleting it soon. This is really disappointing as I enjoy the game so much.

Lost one star for hold + swipe left/right.. This game has me hooked. I get to play awesome songs and keep my fingers tapping as I listen. I’m also discovering new songs! I’m competing against friends and it’s friendly fun, not adversarial competition. Please Beatstar, fix the hold+swipe to left/right. It seems when I hold it, maybe it’s so sensitive to the minute unintended pressure of my thumbprint that it thinks I’ve swiped left/right when I haven’t. This ruins the flow of a song, and all the songs I do worse at are all songs containing a hold+swipe left/right (Macklemore’s Can’t Hold Us, Green Day’s American Idiot). Another suggestion to think about if you’re reading this, bring the “Perfect” and “Perfect+” further down towards the bottom of the screen so we can see it and gauge our progress.

Fix it. I’m a regular player who has somehow managed to get several friends hooked on this game. However as much as we love it there’s a bug we can’t overlook. Sometimes the response to tapping or holding bugs out and doesn’t register. Even when you are 110% certain you tapped the screen because you could feel it under your fingertips, the game simply won’t register it which results in either your streak being broken or being forced to pay a few gems because it was missed entirely This is a great game, but this is a game-breaking bug and it causes nothing but frustration. Needs a fix ASAP EDIT: Upon playing for another 2 months before this draft was made, I’ve realised this happens much more commonly when you can potentially unlock something that could otherwise be purchased with gems. Not saying it’s more than a coincidence, but yeah it looks like it’s more than a coincidence

GREAT! But then can’t play?. Fun phone games are fading out but this is actually pretty good! has a great music library too but the case system is a strange choice… it kinda punishes the player for playing, I often find myself going into the app to play and then all my case spaces are full and all the cases take upwards of 5 hours to open!? So I can’t play at all?? Maybe you guys could add a training mode that doesn’t actively earn points or alternatively make it so that you can watch an ad for 15 minutes of game time rather than watching an ad before every single game? (Because I hate to tell ya but that’s not happening). look really just anything to make me continue using your game because it’s really fun but kind of unplayable. this probably isn’t an app I would continue to use in its current state

Limits on play time. I used to play this game all the time. It was super fun grinding particular songs for a good score. But now you just can’t do that? I took a break from the game before the change was made, and was pretty shocked when I returned. You can literally only play a few times and then you’re locked out for HOURS unless you pay up. Super anti-consumer decision. I’d honestly rather watch an ad every couple songs over this. I just wanna play your game. Please let me play your game. And if it’s not economically viable to revert back to how it was… then where is all this money even going? New songs are hardly EVER released, a few other rhythm games on the App Store aren’t as high quality but they at least have much larger catalogues. This app has SO much stifled potential.

Disappointing. Jumped back onto the game after not playing for a while and was very disappointed with how things have changed. The game used to be great with the ability to play songs as many times as you liked with the only real in-app purchases being to buy extra boxes if you wanted to speed up unlocking songs. Now it feels like they are trying to force me to spend money with constant pop ups and only being able to play a song per hour. And on top of that there are now unavoidable ads. The gameplay is still great but when you can’t experience it without getting bombarded with ads and in app purchases it definitely ruins the experience. I really hope Beatstar can return to its roots of an amazing game but unfortunately at the minute looks like greed for money has completely ruined the experience…

Fun but don’t really get the goal?. Love the game play, the graphics are great and there looks like there’s a lot to explore with this game. It’s been years since I at least have seen a great music based game like this. What I don’t get it the multitude of cases abs unlocking going on, with very long ads to watch between every single song and whenever you want to claim any cards. I want to love this and keep playing it but I feel penalised in doing so, watching minute long ads every two minutes. Now it won’t even let me watch another to keep playing. My question is do you want me to stay in the app? Purchases to jump through hoops or ads are straight up pushing me away; I’d prefer to pay a one off fee to enjoy this but right now I’m rather confused as to what the game is trying to direct me to do - it doesn’t feel like it’s directing me to play!

Great Game but one annoying feature. I love this game probably my favourite game I have at the moment. BUT, there is one very annoying feature that seems to draw me away from playing. The fact that you have to wait for a chest to be unlocked before you can play is super frustrating. You wait 3 hours for a chest to open, then you play 2 songs and earn another chest then have to wait 3 hours again just to play 2 more songs. The unlimited play is good but $1.50 every time doesn’t seem worth it. I’d love to be able to play non stop without having to wait for a chest slot. Hope the developers find a way to change this because I’ve seen a few reviews about the same thing and it definitely will stop players from playing.

Best music game out. Was certainly hesitant especially after seeing this game come up via an ad from another game but I do love music games so I thought I’d give it a shot and see what it’s like, fast forward 3 months and I’m absolutely addicted to this game it is so much fun compared to any other music games I’ve tried the next thing is probably piano tiles but Beatstar is just so much more fun, the only downside is in the most recent update they’ve taken away the option to pay $8 for unlimited play for a week and changed it to 50 gems for an hour of unlimited play, honestly would be so much better if I had both options for the people who do love this game we should be able to have more unlimited play options simply to actually play the game the chest unlocks restrict people who just want to actually play your game, please give the serious players some more options so we can keep enjoying beatstar

Great Potential. Great concept and relatively fun gameplay, however the limited play system implemented through song case slots severely hinders any enjoyment the actual game brings. On top of that, you aren’t rewarded in any way for achieving gold, platinum or diamond scores despite their difficulty to achieve. Would rather pay a one-off-fee to unlock all features and songs. It’s a shame the developers have prioritised capita gain over player satisfaction. The latest game changes (i.e. increasing the time speed) has not improved the game at all. It has made it even more difficult to time beats accurately. The game could benefit from customisable difficulty settings such as adjustable tile speed and level difficulty for songs, seperate to the normal, hard, extreme levels already implemented.

I love this game but…. I love this game heaps. I love anything to do with music, but I’d love to see more of the genres that I love represented on this app. I was so happy when Bring Me the Horizon’s Mantra was added, and I feel like their newest song, Strangers, could be a good addition to that. I’d also love to see some My Chemical Romance, since you have Fall Out Boy songs, as well as Twenty One Pilots, more Machine Gun Kelly, Sleeping with Sirens, Pierce the Veil, A Day To Remember, All Time Low, Deftones… you get the gist. I think even more people would be into this game if more genres of music (like pop punk and metal genres) were represented on this app. Regardless, I love this game and have so much fun playing it!

Limited play time. Beatstar use to be really fun and don’t get me wrong it still is but I stopped playing a while back due to storage problem and when I come back I find myself unable to play songs once the three slots are full. This leaves with little to no play time. I believe this may be a way of trying to get people to spend more money on gems however it takes the fun out of it as you find yourself playing two songs then waiting ours until you are able to play again. This is such a shame because it would be so good if this feature wasn’t added in the first place. I find it almost pointless to get on for 10 mins just to wait 8 or so hours to be able to play another 10 mins. I believe this needs to be fixed before going global and all that stuff because it really is killing the game.

This game is incredible, but I have a few suggestions!. First of all, incredible work.. like literally this is one of my favourite games of all time at the moment. I got recommended this via Clash Royale as and advertisement and said.. hey I like music so let’s give it a go.. when I downloaded it I had low expectations and thought it would be a quick uninstall. (Keep in mind I had no prior experience or even knew this was a popular and highly rated game before I did this). Although, shortly I realised this game has amazing potential and literally gave me such good vibes.. BUT, I know the annoying BUT… This game does need a few tweaks!! Literally the only thing that annoys me the most through this 100% 5 star rated game is the fact that I cannot play songs while having maxed my chests in my inventory.. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP I would be spending hours and hours trying to perfect+ my songs. This is literally my only annoyance about the game and I know a developer is working on it which is reassuring as this game has massive potential. Sincerely, thank you for making this game such an amazing experience.. if songs are added more frequently I could see myself stuck on this game in my spare time for a while!!

Great game, terrible feature. This game is an all round great game. No annoying ads, pressurising purchases, constant pop up screens or anything obtrusive. You get into the game and start playing. The levelling up system is great as well and keeps players motivated and excited. The design and graphics are incredible and makes me feel like I’m not just playing some app on my phone, it feels smooth and looks brilliant. To completely derail all of the above, is the one feature that really ruins the entire experience. The fact that you can no longer play when you are unlocking cases is truly bizarre. It’s like players are being told NOT to play. Of course with any game there is an option to bypass this and pay money, but that is not an option for everyone and can very quickly and easily turn someone off the game. Players should still have a way to engage with the game somehow. To conclude, this game seriously does have the potential to be one of the biggest apps on the app-store, however I just don’t see that happening while this feature still exists. I would rate this a 3.5 out of 5 but will go with 4 seeing as though 3.5 is not an option.

Genuinely fun game BUT…. Genuinely is a super fun game. I’ve had it for a while and never get bored of it, the song selections are really diverse so there’s something for everybody BUT The beat stars fill up so incredibly fast that you will wait 3 hours to clear one only to be able to play 3 songs and have it filled up again. The timer should either be shorter, or you should get less beat stars for songs. Also, the number of diamonds it would take to unlock them early is crazy seeing as you only get a few for levelling up which in itself takes forever. Gives it a very ‘pay to win’ feel.

Money!!!. Why do we have to wait 3 songs now smh use to be fun now it just all about money nowadays sad

Fun Game Ruined by Microtransactions. Nothing makes me delete a game faster than being forced into spending money on loot boxes and in game currency. The TL;DR - avoid this game until they make changes to their loot box system. The insta-death after missing one note is annoying, but it’s not game breaking. Not being able to continue playing until you open your loot boxes? (Which, I might add, can take upwards of 5 hours to unlock, and you can only unlock one at a time). No thanks. Microtransactions should be optional, not a requirement to play the game. I noticed there was an option to purchase unlimited plays, but it was only for a month duration. Games like this SHOULD NOT have a subscription. I would’ve gladly made the one time purchase. Once you guys pull your heads out of your rears, and either significantly decrease the amount of time it takes to unlock a loot box, or allow me to play without the need for having a loot box slot open, then I’ll consider redownloading this. I suggest others avoid this game as well.

Great game constantly made worse. I started playing in early 2021 and have been opening it near daily since. What used to be a fun game to scratch the guitar hero itch has been obliterated by micro transactions and terrible “bug fixes.” I never spend money on mobile games, but they’ve beat this game down so hard it’s unplayable without doing so. The most fun part of finally getting fed up and deciding to spend money to play it, is that since doing so, the game got unbelievably glitchy. Claims to miss notes that aren’t halfway down the screen yet, completely fails to register taps, and notes are crossing the bar on the beats a full 4/4 before they should. Songs I’ve consistently got diamond runs on I can’t get past 3-4 stars, and have to shell out gems for “missed notes” to get there. Move on. It used to be good, now it’s only good if you feel like being thrown into a rage. I pushed through some real terrible updates, but I’m calling it quits. App developers, PLEASE make something similar to what this game used to be, and don’t butcher it like these guys did.

At least save the game. Every time my internet stops for just a second it kicks me from the song I’m doing, even if I’m at the end. Please fix this, Thanks.

Stupid. Why can’t I play more than a couple songs at a time? You need a case slot to be open in order to play and it takes hours to unlock a case. Also, when I am able to play a song, it tells me I missed a tile before that tile even passes and then it just ends. How could I possibly miss something that hasn’t happened yet?

My favourite Ad Simulator. I know they use ads for revenue but my god the increase in them over time is obscene. Time to delete this app as it’s now an Ad Simulator not a rhythm game.

Won’t spend anymore money on this game…. I was enjoying this game and even spent over $50 buying song bundles, until the latest update when they took away the ability for me to continue playing once my boxes were full. Lame! You won’t be getting anymore money from me!

Started strong but fell short.. When I first got this game it was apparent that they encourage players to start buying tracks to play but they’ll support players for a bit that play for free. It started out fun but after I got 28 songs done, almost every time I try a new song it is not registering certain notes, almost as if it would work better if I paid for it. Plus getting a new track for free now would take a couple weeks of watching ads to get. I got my couple weeks of fun out of it and I’m done with it.

Good but…. Once all the boxes are full you can’t even play songs anymore?? That’s no fun at all. Wouldn’t you rather your customers could play the app as often as they’d like instead of making them wait for hours and hours to unlock a box?

Every update makes the game worse. I downloaded Beatstar in the first half of 2021 and it was a joy to play. Interesting song choices, decent playing calibration, and the opportunity to go up against other players in venues/events. The update in mid-2021 eliminated venues, which I thought was a very poor choice. Created much less incentive to play since there were fewer opportunities to level up. My theory was that it was removed to make obtaining cards/songs more difficult, and thought that was shady. But I wasn’t that surprised. After this update I lost most of my enthusiasm for playing. It wasn’t until some friends recently downloaded the game that I decided to pick it up again. I had to update the app — only to see that the game has capped how much you can play, unless you pay (or play lengthy ads before EVERY song, and even THEN it’s capped)! I am STUNNED by this update. Not only is it greedy, it removes any chance of practicing songs in order to improve your score. Whose decision was this? EVERY update I’ve seen on this game made it WORSE, not better. And it’s such a shame because it was genuinely one of the best rhythm games available. To the developers - please do not embarrass yourself with a response to this review with the canned “these updates will positively impact it in the long run” line because 1) there is no explanation as to HOW this will be positive. I, as a user, cannot see it. If you’re referring to Space Ape Ltd’s bottom line then um… sure. Great for you. What about us? And 2) if these updates aren’t reversed, you won’t have anyone playing it to confirm whether that fantasy of yours ever came true.

Ads. Thought this game was gonna be good when I started it but later I realized I would have to watch ads to play levels

So disappointed. I used to play this game all of the time and now I can’t even practice the songs I have in my library? So sad when developers get greedy. I hope you listen to the people WHO MADE YOUR APP WHAT IT IS and give us back the game we once loved.

ok. The game is fine but some songs you have to watch an add to play them. Also I think the fact that you have to wait 2-3 hours for a case to open is dumb. It’s kinda hard to get songs. It would be better if it was like beat blade where you can play all the songs you want. Idk what else to say but yeah

Great game , bad ads. Game has been so much fun and really enjoy playing it . I have noticed that the calibration is off quite often . You can tap perfect but it ends up only being great, or you can tap or swipe and it's a miss. Having to watch extremely long ads to play again or open anything is nothing short of ridiculous . I'd sooner pay x amount to have zero ads at all rather than have to watch multiple ads from companies that profit from false advertising only to play the game. Honestly Devs , great game.. truly, reminiscent of the old tap tap revolution games , but please ... stop with all the In game ads to play ahead or to earn tickets etc

It’s okay but takes too long to get new songs. Playing part is pretty good. Animations are nice and smooth. However you need to wait 3-5 hours to open a box. And you don’t even get new songs from the boxes. To get a new song you need to open a few boxes which could take up to 10 hrs.

Used to Love this game. This was my favourite ‘piano keys’ type game and I used to play it all the time. I didn’t mind the fact that you only had three slots and had to wait a certain amount of time for them to open cause I understand that the developers needs to make money some way. But recently I feel ripped off by this game. The ad said it cost $13.99 to have a season’s pass, thought that wasn’t too bad and purchased, instantly get a charge on my card for $29.00, which didn’t seem right but with no way to dispute it, I figured maybe it’s because of exchange rate and taxes, I live in Canada, still seems a too high and not really worth it to me anymore but try to enjoy my season pass anyway. Except halfway through the pass, I’m told I have no more new songs to play, so all the boxes with cards which are most of the prizes now can’t be opened, and yet you can still buy songs. In fact every time I open the app I’m prompted to buy more songs. Yet you have none left for my chest cards to go towards. It’s really frustrating. I don’t think you should be allowed to sell a perk knowing there’s a good chance that perk eventually won’t work for the buyer. I’m disappointed and won’t be putting anymore money into this game.

Excellent game but too much ads. Excellent game but too much ads after the update. Forcing you to buy to remove the annoying ads.

Meh. This game is alright I just wish all songs were free so you can play the songs you like instead you have to level up and the takes forever

Ads watching simulator. Not only does the game force shove ads down your throat for progression (you have to watch 5-10 ads to unlock ONE song, even more as you level up), with the recent updates now you have a forced ad every song you play… not to mention you have to wait hours between playing to open “boxes,” preventing you from playing the game - unless you watch ads, of course

Used to be a 5 star game. This game was one of my top playing games. Adds were only when you wanted more play time or you wanted extra additional stuff without paying. because of the adds only being required when we wanted them this game was an a deal game for my household…. Now we have adds right after every song. Giving the game a week, it no longer has the appeal it used to if I can’t chose to watch an add or not. Maybe if they go back to adds when you want to keep playing or for extra rewards I will be back but it doesn’t seem to be.

Such a simple change and this app will be number 1. Idk why there is a certain amount of times that you can play a song that is a horrible and annoying feature that you guys put on this amazing game you think by doing that you would make more money but that is creating the opposite effect people will wanna pay less when something annoying like that happens like look a clash Royale for an example when your chests get full you can still verse people and battle them as much as you want and that’s why their game is still one the top 10 best games and if you can make that simple change not only will I spend more money on the game but I would recommend this game to all my friends but with an annoying feature like that it makes Me believe you guys the creator are very scummy. Do this change and you guys will 100% be billionaires by the end of the year

What the hell happened?. I absolutely was obsessed with this game, I was playing for several hours a day, I’m even in the top hundred players in my country! Since the update this game has took a turn for the worse, you can only play if you have card slots free and now that I’ve collected every song there is for me to collect I find out that you have to download other games to unlock songs now! Beatstar, why the hell are you being so greedy? i’ve spent so much money on this app and now i’m down to giving it a one star. I’m not playing on the daily anymore either, maybe weekly if the game gets my attention somehow. One of my most favourite games in a long time and now i’m not so sure, extremely disappointed.

Increasingly pay-to-play. This game started out great. However, as per the title, this game is becoming far more focused on pay-to-play. I use this because there's no "pay to win" since the game doesn't have a focused sense of winning. Events are constantly locked if you don't own the song, which if you aren't willing to watch ads or spend money, you won't unlock. Even then, it's a chance you'll get whatever song is in the event. You can buy the song, but unless you save up the tiny amount of in-game currency you can get, you have to spend money to buy the gems to buy the song. Soloution? Make the songs available for ALL players for the event. Which is two plays of the song. Stop hosting events that your players can't even access. This turns off new players from your content, and irritates everyone else. The other issue is the tour pass. I have watched it go from level 7 to unlock a song, to 13, to 30, to now you have to pay in order to get a song from the tour pass. For those not paying, the tour pass mini events are really not worth focusing on. On top of that, you're locked into how many songs you can play per day for "free". Technically it is free regardless, but after you fill your boxes and you can't collect more, you're locked out of playing without watching a mandatory ad. Which, might I add, the ads have been getting longer and I am not sitting through a one minute ad to play two minutes of a game. TL;DR - Lots of ads, locked events, low gameplay time, rising need to pay to play.

i love this game, but ….. there was a new update recently i think and they made it so to play another song you NEED to open another music box thing by using your gems i absolutely HATE THIS, i had 200+ gems saved up and the game made me spend them all or i wouldn’t be able to play another song i DESPERATELY need this to be changed. this used to be my favourite game. the system used before was fine, why change something that wasn’t broken. my review will stay at 1☆ until this gets fixed. i’m even considering deleting this game, spending all my gems for cards isn’t worth it.

You need to update!. Honestly I was really liking the game, but it was sat starting to bug out and then it would make me miss notes and then automatically purchase a revive for me only for it to mess me up again. And then it waits for me to replay but it won’t even let me start. I really wish you would make this like tap tap revenge, it kills the vibe hardcore just to purchase everything. And how come only some songs can be played on hard core mode? It was way better when tap tap revenge let you pick the difficulty

Too many ads now. The amount of ads has gotten ridiculous lately. It really takes away from the game’s enjoyability. Otherwise a great game, but I play it significantly less now because my gameplay is consistently interrupted by ads.

bruh. i loved this game until it said that i couldn’t play because of a paywall. this feature does nothing but showcase your greed, i assure you that NO ONE enjoys it but you. :/

Great game but…. I love this game sm but it just gets annoying that u can only play for a certain amount of time before all ur cases are full. Thats my only complaint but other then that I love it!!

Greediness killed the radio star. Super fun game, but since the update, can’t play if all the boxes are full. Then you either have to watch ads all the time or pay to play…… I have deleted this app as the makers are obviously super greedy.

Change error. So I love the game. Have been playing it non stop, recently tho I’ve realized that if I make a single mistake in a song I have to spend gems to be able to continue playing it?! Why is this a thing! Ruins the fun and should be what is happening

Used to be a great game, but it’s pretty much ruined now. The update means that you can only play if a case slot is open. 3 song plays and that’s full. You either need to pay way too much money to open a case, or wait at least 3 hours. I loved this game and have over 50 songs but I’m going to put it down now until the developer gets way less greedy.

Used to be good. This game was enjoyable up until they removed venues. the lack of songs, the constant lag and not being able to play without an open box slot is what caused me to delete this game. terrible, just a money grab now.

Fun but sucks. I like the game, it’s really fun and really nice. But with these stupid boxes I couldn’t care less about I can’t play the game until five hours has passed and even then I only get like 2 plays. If I want to actually sit and play it would take 15 hours of waiting at the minimum just to open boxes and get more great songs I can’t play more then twice. Y’all need to fix this trash. I’m an impatient person but 5 hours per box is just retarded. Especially when by the end you have maybe 6-9 minutes of play time. Edit: I’ve done some further looking, this update has been met with outrage and complete utter disappointment. Honestly after literally an eternity of reading the things people had to say (and still not being able to play the game after that time) I must say I’m truly disappointed. I don’t feel this was a difficult decision because if it was you would’ve reversed it from this feedback. It’s not going to help you guys in the long run, it’s clearly affecting peoples enjoyment of the game. People should go before price. Y’all greedy.

Takes too long to try again. I failed a song twice, and on the third try it wouldn’t let me play because all my case slots were full of items that automatically got put in there and I can’t remove them. So now I can basically only play once every 3-8 hours depending on whatever is in the slot. Waste of time game.

A 100% ACCURATE & HONEST REVIEW. You can play 3 turns for free. If you want to play 1 more song, you have to watch an ad that is almost longer than the song itself. If you watch too many ads, you get blocked from doing so and can’t continue playing. The options are to pay for a tour pass that lasts within the month that you bought it, or you can pay $6.99 WEEKLY to just be able to play without having to watch ads. You can also pay $13.99 for only 3 new songs, or you can pay for crystals to use on songs. I contacted the support team about these insane prices and long story short they told me that’s the way it is. Who can afford to comfortably play and enjoy the game by paying? Rich people? Kids that have their parents pay? People that don’t have bills or real obligations? We emailed back and forth for a long time - every time I was met with “could you tell me more about what the problem is?” And then a repeat of what we already discussed. Bots are more useful. Did they give me a discount, or free song, or show any kind of effort to satisfy me or make me feel better about playing their game? No. Why? Because it would be “unfair” for the other players (that would have no idea anyway). Rest assured, players - no one is getting anything from this company, your feelings and wallets won’t be hurt. This is by far the worst experience I’ve had with any customer service and product in my entire life, and I’ve been playing mobile games and video games for decades. Play at your own risk if you don’t have a bunch of money to spend on this game.

Terrible game all around. Absolutely RIDDLED with ads. You cannot play at your own accord and have to be forced with ads unless you pay for micro transactions or earn micro transactions which ultimately revolved around waiting forever or watching ads for micro transactions (which is very limited). The game lags on hard or extreme difficulty making the entire concept of the game pointless to play. I don’t care that you can “compete” with other online players, because you’ll be forced to watch ads if you want another try. If any game tells you to watch ads by any means, your time is NOT worth it here. These developers reply to reviews in the most rat way possible by saying “I hope you accept our changes and stick around for a while”. What? Fill your pockets with more money for your half assed attempt at a game? If it was successful, why does it need ads to be able to play longer? Sounds like they are exploiting addicts 1000% and sounds like anyone supporting this dev team is also in support of exploiting addicts. Please, everybody, just stop supporting phone games altogether as they all end up pulling these money schemes. BIGGEST main problem is that I /swear/ my games are rigged to lose so they make me watch more ads because the button registration is totally fine and for some reason the exact same key keeps acting messed up so theirs absolutely 0 reason that’s worth dedicating your time on the game and you’re bored by the first moment they want an ad out of you

Greedy grab. Just when you get in a groove - ads, ads and more ads. So you pay for ad-free time but then run out of gems and have to pay for those.

sucks. its just bad

your new update insn't that fun it basicly makes it unplayable. boo, not that fun. i want a new game now in place for this one.

Great game, greedy devs. The game is very good, don’t get me wrong, but the fact you can’t just keep playing when you have cases is ridiculous. I don’t want to spend money just to play the game, and I get that’s what the devs are going for, but seriously? Money over quality? I would actually spend money on this game if they didn’t throw it in your face that you have to in order to keep playing.

Can’t play a lot of the best songs anymore. Now that a failed tap or swipe stops the entire song it feels more frustrating than satisfying. I used to play along to my favourite songs no matter how difficult it was to get perfect cause it was fun to tap along, now I can’t play past the first 2 stages of some of my favourites. I bought gems to spend on songs I didn’t have yet not to revive myself cause I missed a note. There’s a reason why pay to play places like arcade rooms have been on the decline. If the change doesn’t revert itself then I’m definitely not buying anymore gems and I’ll just go back to listening to these songs on YouTube, tapping on my dresser and all it costs me is my battery power

Disappointed with Beatstar. 3 days ago I would have gave this game 5 stars no problem, I loved this game, since the update you can’t even play any songs once your case slots are full, I could handle the somewhat pushy in app purchases before, but completely making the game un-playable just to push players to buy gems is just sad in my opinion, ruined the game for me and many others. Edit: How this will improve the game is beyond me, Greedy developers.

Good game until update. I am not the only one to say this, but until the new update the game was great. Now I can play all that I want, or I have to watch an ad or pay to play unlimited for 30 minuites? This is ridiculous and I might just delete this game now because I was okay to watch an ad to get a couple cards but this? This is ridiculous.

This game is amazing. It doesn’t have rip off horrible covers of songs it has known songs it’s so clean and pleasant to look at it everything about it is amazing

Perfect game ruined by long forced delay of play. 3 boxes unlocking and we cannot play anything. This is ruining the entire game. You can just let us play and not give any rewards, but that would still be trash. Either way i have to wait 3 hours to play 3 times and we’re done. Hahaha fk this game. Uninstall.

Too bad. New update means more pubs😩. It was really good prior to that. Now it just annoying.

Fun, BUT. I really love this game. It’s my go to when I’m bored BUT, it continually will say I missed a key when I did tap the screen, it’s so frustrating because you have to use gems which you can only buy or get 5 free a day to keep playing the song. 3 gems for the first “fail.” 5 for the second “fail” and 8 for any fail after that. I’m convinced the game does this on purpose to try and get you to buy gems. It almost feels like the more times you use gems, the more times it does this. It’s starting to make me just flat out not want to play the game.

Fun game but. Fun game but I can only play 3 ish songs before I have to wait hours for the box to unlock. Wish you could keep playing songs in your collection while waiting for the boxes to unlock

fix your game. god i can’t stand this game sometimes, i know for a fact this game is not optimized for iphone 12’s it’s clearly obvious, my girlfriend has an iphone 11 and it works fine but with mine it constantly lags, doesn’t register when im tapping notes and if i do somehow get a registered tap it says i lost my streak, please optimize your game

Started to lag. New update with the deluxe songs has more frequent “lags” during the songs and some taps not registering at the right time. This wasn’t an issue before. On an iPhone 11 over here and it used to play great. Even tried flicking all my apps off and nothing changed. Wish I could revert to previous version until it’s fixed.

Extremely Limited Song Options. This game has a good idea and good mechanics, but it needs a ton more song options. I really don’t care at all about the newest song by whoever is popular this week, I’m a fan of older music. That being said, there are only two songs that I’d consider “Older” music in the game (Living on a prayer and sweet home Alabama). And while I don’t mind some recent songs, if you want any chance to reach a level where you can play one of the two songs I’d like better, you have to earn stars by playing a wide variety of music that I’d rather not listen too. I ended up playing some songs without sound because I didn’t want to listen to them, but I wanted the stars so I could potentially get to a song I liked better. You should have a wide selection of music to play right from the beginning, in different categories including different decades rather than just different genres, that way you can play music that suits your tastes more to unlock different songs in that specific category. I want to like this game, but when the main theme is music, it shouldn’t have such limited music to cause a player to not even want to listen to it. Hopefully the music gets “updated” (ironic since I’m asking for older music), and then I’d love to play it again, but for now I just won’t and I can’t in good conscious give 2 stars to a music app without music.

Amazing game, terrible marketing. Just wanna start this review off by saying the game is fun, I mean that’s it it’s addicting as heck I didn’t want to stop playing. I was gonna spend money on more songs and boxes cause I was addicted but then the second I wasn’t able to play due to using up all my free plays for the week I thought why even market the game as free instead call it a free trial. I get free to play games need some form of monetization which is why I was tempted to spend money. However selling the game as “free” and locking players out isn’t a very good marketing strategy at all I thought developers want people to play their game and not lock them out. That’s literally the only complaint I have on the game which is why it was so long and explained throughly, the gameplay and music itself is perfect too bad I can’t play tho due to using up my weekly turns. (Only reason I won’t buy more turns is cause I disagree full heartly with the marketing behind it) (boxes and buying music is perfectly fine heck even adding other cosmetics and purchasable items is epic by me and I woulda even probably bought some) As a whole the game itself is 7/10 were the marketing better it’d be 10/10 from me.

Not for everyone. I feel it targets only a certain generation . Also everyone brain works different from 10 years old to 60 years old . If your not gifted at age of 40 forget about hard and extreme ,only practicing at the age of 10 will you be able to do extreme . Also There are no options of era’s of music just random picked categories that you hope to get something that interest you play . I am sure it hasn’t reached its full potential and maybe it has and is content with the random players that drop $5 occasionally or nothing at all . There should be more generation groups playing to generate more money potentially . Make an easy mode for the elderly . Keep them wanting to come back not get frustrated and bored and then deleted . Make selections better than only one generation listens to . It seems you focus on pop and rap that is given even in a wish list . Ever heard of Armik Lagrimas de guitarra ? Or Oingo boingo Dead mans party ? Alice In Chains Rooster? Or if they want to hear a real challenge Estas Tonne internal flight . Open your generation gap and watch the money flow in . Even make an 80’s theme ,where’s the country ! George strait , Garth brooks or Charlie Daniel band . Micheal Jackson had a lot of number one hits where is that ? . ? Like I said do you want to fill your pockets or the developer’s content already let us make our own list to show the world . How awesome they can be .

Very fun to pass time with.. This game actually peaked my interest a while back, I normally don’t stick around for song related games but this one’s actually really good. It gives you a few songs a day to play to, and if you really feel up to it they were letting you pay for a weeks worth of unlimited play. Which REALLY was great. It wasn’t a bad price either to pay for the week to play so you could sit for hours at a time playing to songs you’d like. (I hope they bring that option back if I’m being honest. But either way if they do or don’t I’ll still be playing Beatstar because it’s actually pretty addicting.) the songs are well synced and if it’s not to your liking you can always readjust how it syncs (especially with your headphones in) so you have a better experience playing the songs. They have a lot of songs to choose from as well! I do find the waiting game to open crates a little frustrating. But it’s always really fun to finally open up and receive what you’ve been working towards. The game is really fun, and it’s something I would recommend other song loves to download and play as well. :)

Great game, with several problems. The game itself is fun. A piano tiles-esque game where the more on time with the beat you are, the more points you get. Great song selection too. However, the tour pass is $10 for a few songs, that you can’t get after the tour pass is done unless it pops up in their new multiplayer events, but even that costs the premium currency, gems. The only way to get more gems is 5 free every day, plus another 5 if you want to watch an ad. That’s it. If you want a new song from the multiplayer event, it’s 99 gems. I’d be fine watching more ads for even a chance at some of these songs, but $10 is too much for usually 9 songs. Another problem is that both my brother and I, who’ve both had this game since before the tour pass was a thing, have always had trouble playing the game due to lag. If the game lags, you’re almost guaranteed a loss and the only way to resurrect a run from the rampant lag, is to use the aforementioned premium currency. But this might just be a problem for our phones. Great game, but I wish the tour pass was (significantly) cheaper or scrapped altogether. Also the new update got rid of the playlist of liked songs, which puts a really bad taste in my mouth.

I LOVE this game. I used to play music tapping games all the time back in middle school and high school, and tonight I decided to go looking for any new apps that might satisfy my need for nostalgia. I came across this game after redos loading an old app I had which was very disappointing haha. This game however, totally fits what I wanted! It has a good selection of music, not just today’s hits or hip hop or rock, it has a good mix of multiple genres. There are plenty of opportunities to collect new songs without having to pay real money. There aren’t any lives in this game either, you can just play the songs in your library with no repercussions for doing poorly. It’s a low stress game, however, even starting out with the normal setting, the songs still get progressively challenging to tap along to. I’m excited to unlock the harder settings, but I’m satisfied at the moment. I’ve only had this game for about 30 minutes but I’m already obsessed. Definitely download if you like games where you need to tap to the beat. Enjoy!

Fun, addicting, and tempting!. I’m changing my review entirely now that I’ve put hours into this game for a couple of weeks now. Most if not all mobile games do whatever they can to make money. This game is no exception, but is it worth it? For the most part, yes; especially if you’re a fan of rhythm games. At first I was upset about being forced to get off the game or watch an ad/pay gems. But eventually you’ll reach a point where it doesn’t matter. The selection of songs are amazing. The accuracy may seem off at times, but never to the point where you feel cheated. You can enjoy this game without spending a dime, but you will be tempted more than you can imagine - be aware of that. Most of the ads that play are quite annoying, but I’m sure the game has no control over that. This game would be a 5 star (for me) if they didn’t fail the song because you missed one note. Also the way points are earned during a song seems odd since you can be off by 20 points (for example) from a milestone. Long story short: This is an addicting game, and a must play if you enjoy rhythm games. Be aware that you will be tempted to pay real money, and there are some gacha mechanics involved.

Mostly a great game!. I really like this app! Music games that are like this are so much fun and Beatstar has done a lot to make this game fun with new challenges, even new modes and ways to play. It’s been about 5-6 months since a lot of these new modes have been introduced, so I wanted to leave a review to mention how some things still need a little updating. The deluxe version still is a bit buggy and it will randomly lag, which then interferes with your possible combos. But the biggest flaw is that when you miss a hold note, and you use shards to replay that section, the initial beat is gone and you can’t replay that section! You just lose over and over again! The only other suggestion I would say is to stop taking away the medals rewarded for those 2-4 day leaderboard events. We get to keep crystals and cards for song boxes, we should be able to bank those medals for future use as well. Otherwise they just disappear when the event is over! What if I have an emergency when the event ends and don’t get to use up all my medals? Why can’t I keep them for the next event? Just some honest thoughts from a player who really enjoys this game and thinks it could be even better!

Favorite Music Game By Far. This game is definitely one of the top apps on my phone. It has really amazing quality and all of the songs are sung by the actual artists unlike other games where they provide cover songs or sped up songs. Another great feature about the game is the ads are optional. Most games u can watch an ad to continue and even if u press no it’ll give u an ad anyways just with the skip option after a certain amount of seconds. This game doesn’t do that, it gives u an option to watch the ads and in return u get cards to fill up to get new songs. I have NEVER gotten a random ad unless I chose the option to watch one. That’s not all though, I really love how the game provides songs from almost all genres including Rock, Latest Hits, Pop, Hip Hop, Electronic, etc. The wide variety of music types really adds to the game and makes it more enjoyable for people with specific genre preferences. And with that, it seems to have endless songs from each of the genres. For anyone who loves music games or guitar hero, this is 100% the perfect mobile app for you. 5 out of 5 stars all the way.

I love this game!. I usually don’t write reviews, I don’t really keep games long term on my phone as I get bored or the ads just become too much. Most free games throw ads at you every second they can trying to maximize profits and the game usually suffers for it. That is not the case with this game. It’s got great songs, all of which are available to anyone (once unlocked). You do need to play to earn coins to unlock songs and it’s totally random which one you unlock and you are limited on how many times you can play. This is a great way to keep the player coming back, checking in, and you only watch ads if you want to. Wanna earn extra cards? Just watch an ad. They also give opportunities after each song to choose if you want to watch an ad. You honestly don’t have to spend a dime to play and it’s still fun. I wanted to purchase the season pass in support of the creators for making a great game and not making it just about the $$ I love this game, it’s challenging, brightly colored, has great songs old and new. If you liked Rock Band or Guitar Hero, I think I you’ll love this game.

hm. I like this game, but I do not believe in invasive marketing for the sake of greed and annoyance. I purchased the tour pass, which should be treated as a season pass, but instead will give you a few more songs, no unlimited plays, no gems, and invasive ads still intact. I do not want to play Project Makeover or whatever other trash game is advertised. Capitalism is a mother, but as human beings are behind the development of this game, the consumers are also human beings who are not made of money. Just let the game be a game, charge a flat rate even, but don’t pretend to be modest about this being “free.” The cases are always full, so you’re forced to watch a video or pay to play without interruption, over and over again. After watching so many videos, the option to watch anymore is greyed out and you can only pay to play. This is pure greed. I am disgusted, however I was heartbroken when Tap Tap Revenge shut down, so I must use this replica. The game itself is a new world of fun with nostalgic mechanics intact, but still a monopolized business model that hurts consumers more than helping them. Money is the root of evil, we are in a pandemic, people can’t even afford to live but phone games are begging for money. Give me a break.

Unlimited Play. This is the first review I’ve ever written but I thought it was important enough to write about to hopefully reach the ears (or eyes) of the developers. When I started this game I had unlimited play for almost a week. A friend downloaded the game and they were constantly complaining about not having unlimited play, and I kind of laughed it off and could make fun of the idea of a lack of it. Two days ago my unlimited play got taken away. I’m not sure how I had it in the first place, but I’m just as confused as to why it got removed. I think it’s so weird to take the ability to play the game away from players for hours at a time. I assume it’s supposed to be a monetization system for the creators. I know supercell has more than enough money as is and it’s so strange that they would make a game that you need to wait to play. If you look at another one of their games, Clash Royale, that uses the same system for rewarding players with chests, you can obviously keep playing one your slots are full. I think players should be able to keep playing to improve on their scores, get more stars towards their journey, and get more coins for the seasonal pass. I think it’s so strange to take away the ability to play the actual game just because of how well you have done.

The game is great, but could use some improvements.. I love Beatstar. It’s a better version of piano tiles and I would recommend this game to anybody who likes games similar to piano games and “tap to the beat is music” games. The game could use some improvements though. The mechanic that makes you tap the column, rather than the actual piano tile, sometimes makes the tiles not count when you tap on them and that makes me very frustrated sometimes. Also, you can only play about six full songs until your box slots are full, making you have to wait a minimum of nine hours to play another song. Or you can waste thirty gems to play for an extra thirty minutes. Overall, the game is great. We get real songs that are recommended by the people who play the game. But I think the game would be more enjoyable if we could play more songs (either by shortening the time for boxes to open, giving us more box slots, or making boxes take more Beatcoins to open), and if the column mechanic was tweaked a bit. Thanks for this beautiful and creative game. I hope you take some of my suggestions to consideration.

Songs. It’s so hard to get songs. You either get songs by unlocking crates or ranking up as far as I’m concerned. However, the process of getting new songs is so time consuming. If you want to get a song by crate first you have to play the game and unlock points for the crate. Now keep in mind crates can take hours to unlock, and even then if you open that crate you’re not guaranteed a new song. You get to chose between to other crates of songs with different categories and you need to get enough points to open that song crate, then you will get a new song. The other way of getting songs is also very frustrating. You have to play songs to get stars. The stars will help you rank up and get rewards. Then by these rewards you can potentially unlock between 1-3 new songs if your lucky. But there’s a catch, The thing is that if have already collected all the stars from the songs you have unlocked then you have to wait to get a new song to be able to rank up which is annoying because as you read it takes forever to I click new songs. The lack of songs and the hard/frustrating way of unlocking new songs made me uninstall this game. Without new songs this game gets very boring and playing the same song over and over again is not fun. Should make getting new songs easier to get so the game doesn’t get boring.

I want to give it 5 stars but….. The glitches make it frustrating! I really love the game itself. It’s fun and challenging once you start getting the hard and extreme songs. I like that you can see what your friends have scored on the same songs and brag when you beat one of their scores. I also like that new songs are added and if you want to pay for the tour passes, you can really add to your song collection. But, my frustration comes in when almost every time I play a song, it misses a square that I have DEFINITELY tapped. It’s almost always the left side and whenever there is a double tap. The right side will register, but the left side won’t. It also happens every time I am at either Stage 4 or the final stage of the song. This of course prompts me to spend gems to keep going with the song. I’ve wasted I don’t know how many gems to keep playing a song I have nearly finished because it didn’t register the tap. No amount of pressure change has helped the problem. My hands aren’t super dry that can sometimes cause a touch screen to not register touch correctly. I play at different times of day and it is a consistent glitch. It also happens to my friends. If this glitch could be fixed, this would be a 5 star game!

Great Game but needs more variety. I understand theres a fine line between copyright issues, money, and adding new music but, the one thing this game lacks, is variety. Now I’m not going to complain about the different genres they have or anything but most of it (at least in early levels) is just a lot of today’s hits. Personally, I don’t like whats on the radio today so if I need to get more stars, I’ll often turn the volume off and try to play with no music. With more variety, this shouldn’t be an issue. I think they need to add an extra genre or add more to the electronic genre because I could see this game being just that much better if they added a few more Dubstep, Riddim, and Drum and Bass songs to it. It would make the game more about the rhythm of the song rather than how the singer sings the song... which I’ve noticed a lot of in many songs. It’s alright to base the rhythm off the singer’s voice in the songs but I think this game relies too much on it. Other than that, this game is great. I love the 2000’s songs they have and would like to see more of that too.

Love the game, hate the ads. I started playing this game because I like music and a friend recommended it to me. It started off great: no ads, free to play music, challenging songs, rhythm syncing that most other games seem to miss out on, etc. You also don’t have to pay to win or get songs unless you want to. There are chests where you can unlock new songs by playing songs to earn chests. There are also competitions with other players and rankings as well as a pass to earn rewards. It was a different take compared to other games. However, for some reason, there’s so many ads now. After each song or every other song, ad. Fail a song, ad. Leave the current song to play another one, ad. Browsing song store, ad. Really? It’s very annoying. I understand the concept of paying or watching an ad for an extra life when you fail the song, but why should I have to watch an ad if I have already chosen not to continue on the song? There’s also a limit on how many revives you can have from watching ads. Just make it unlimited revives as long as the player is willing to watch the ad or pay.

Amazing Game! But…. This game is amazing! (Way better than magic piano tiles) but I have a few suggestions. 1.) There is a limited amount I can play, so when I have the max amount of chests in my storage, I have to watch an ad to play it which I am fine with (although it would be very nice if you could remove that) but after a few ads I CANT PLAY there are no more ads and it’s asking me to PAY for it, it’s ridiculous! Please fix it, I may consider deleting the game because it’s pretty frustrating. 2.) Please don’t make it to get 5 star you have to get everything on “perfect”. I am doin Wake Me Up by Avicii on there and I have been trying so hard and I mess up ONCE and I don’t get 5 star. Also #1 is a part of it to, I try to do it but I run out of space. 3.)Add more Avicii songs! Please I would absolutely LOVE if you added more songs by him (Waiting For Love preferably) thank you and I hope these things get fixed! (A note from #1: just make it once it’s at max chest space, you just can’t get anymore chests, like Clash Royale)

Addicting, fun, and worth a download.. Let me start off and say this is a very addicting game that has a lot of potential. I first loved how this game actually has the real licensed music, not some nock off version. Second of all it’s actually hard. Most games you play now days a toddler or a 100 year old grandma could be a pro. But not this game. It takes talent and a lot of practice to get the “perfect +” the entire time. But however this game just has a lot of adds. It’s hard when you have an addicting game and make it where you can only play 3 songs max before a case is full and you have to wait 3-5 hours before you can play again. This makes it extremely frustrating when your so close but then run into the rode-block of having to wait or watch adds. Yes I understand you have to make money to cover developer cost but come on. No hate on the game I love it but could you add another chest spot or even make more than just 3 songs before a case gets full. Maybe like 5 songs. Just a thought. But thanks for making an extremely genuinely fun and addicting game.

Could have been an excellent game….. Look…. Initially, it’s a very fun game. First game that’s a spin off guitar hero but for your phone. When I first started playing, I was hooked… up until now… now this game is coming off as just frustrating.. not only because after you play 3 or 4 songs, your case is “full” and now to play a song you must watch an ad to do so…. But, the cases typically start out at a 3-5 hr wait… which is a bit ridiculous… the even bigger problem is, you can have that 3 hour wait for a case to open in the evening and you would expect all your cases to be open in the morning… because c’mon… you just spent more than 5 hours sleeping… but nooooo… you STILL have a 3 hour wait… mind blowing! Stupid! Frustrating! Unfortunately, this game is pretty ruined with the set up and how little play you actually get and all the stupid waiting you have to do to play 3 songs without ads. And to charge people to be able to play without ads and the price in which it is.. and still, you end up not being able to play.. this economy is bad enough right now with financial hardships for a lot of folks.. and to charge and not have unlimited play… just stupid. Could have been an excellent game…

Great idea.. Good game, being very unique, difficult, and fun. However, Im not giving it 5 stars, because of two HUGE things. 1 - cases and leveling up can be a bit of a grind especially with only having three slots and a massive jump in score difference with hard and normal songs, and no max star difference, BUT not being able to play when the crate slots are full? Thats absolutely stupid, what if you want to play for fun or keep playing to attempt earning more stars to level up and progress? You cant. 2 - some songs are more than just hard, but are insane with some newer phones (Im on iphone) because the response times for games on my iphone 12, are about 1/2 or 3/4 of my iphone 7, and theres no home button so on top of having a swarm of things on screen, theres also the slide points, and the ones that angle down will lower the screen, and will NOT pause the game (because its not like tabbing out) so things will continue. I really like this game but with the phone model I have I almost feel put at a disadvantage for having it when it comes to harder songs or ones that mix up things in that weird way, and the case situation especially bothers me.

Great game but could use some changes. I love this game so much. It’s quite addictive. However not all of us are musicians… or studied music theory lol. My first suggestion would be there should be a practice area where you don’t earn or spend anything. A place you can literally just practice. Second, some of the songs are a little too adult. Kids play this game too. Even if the words are edited, you can tell what the song is talking about and it’s music I wouldn’t let my little kids listen to. Third, who the heck is getting these extreme songs? I’m not terrible at the game. I’ve gotten a ton of golds, and a few platinums and I just started playing it a couple weeks ago. But songs like Trooper from Iron Maiden… IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! It’s hard for me to advance when I can’t get enough stars. I wish there was a way we could avoid getting extreme songs. I don’t like them. Way too difficult for the average user I think. For the freaks of nature of who can play them and get every note right, I salute you because wow. Please consider making the game a little more accessible for just average players who like to use it as a downtime.

Cheat game. The entire mechanics of this game is designed to get you to spend money. As if Apple wasn’t greedy enough they have designed/developed a game that doesn’t allow you to freely continuously play without playing. YOU LITERALLY CANT PLAY THIS GAME WITHOUT BEINGPENALIZED, and once you “don’t have enough space” to continue playing you can either pay to start playing again or wait like 3 to 5 hours. The only way you can play without being penalized is by having an Unlimited play which you get a sample 20 minute one when you first start playing but shocker the server “went down” for 15 of the 20 minutes. SMOOTH. But after that sample you have to pay 5 bucks to get a weeks worth of free play which so be available regardless of monetary contributions. It’s not enough I bought your 1k dollar phone Apple?!? I gotta give you an extra 5 bucks a week to play a game of yours. You and everyone who works for you should be disgusted with the choices you’ve made in life and in business. Also weirdly enough in the middle of me writing the scathing review my keyboard stopped working so I had to finish the review in notes and past it back in the Apple store. What you thought that would stop me … think again you disgusting, wannabe overlord corporation. Down with Apple.

Love the game not enough money to keep playing it. I had this game on my old phone last year, and I played it constantly. I would play the game constantly trying to beat my friends in certain songs, and get more songs. I downloaded it onto my new phone just a couple days ago, and I am extremely disappointed in it. The wait times for the cases seem longer than they were last year, and the diamonds needed to open them right away has increased significantly. I only get about 25-30 minutes of play time before I have to wait 9 hours, or more for all my cases to open. I wait for all my cases to open, so I can play for longer periods of time. I know you can buy diamonds to open the cases right away, but spending that type of money on a game is a waste of money to me. I am 15 years old, and don’t have a job. I would be perfectly fine if I could still play after all the case areas are filled, and not get rewards for that. They have a great selection of songs you can unlock through the song cases, and recently added country songs. Sadly I am thinking of finding another game to switch to. It’s a great game if you have the money to spend on it, but if you don’t then it’s a waste of your time.

So Fun, But Definitely Out For Your Money. It’s undeniable that the game is addicting! I’m really impressed with the songs offered- a bit of something for everyone. The unique guitar-hero style controls really make it feel challenging but achievable with skill and practice. However, I wish they didn’t try so blatantly hard to pressure you into spending money. Instead of them shoving ads at you every time you want to play a song, I wish they’d let you play your owned songs however many times you want, but each time you play it, it earns you less rewards for the day. Or have a daily rewards cap out where after a certain amount of things obtained for the day, you can play just for fun/practice. I would be more willing to watch ads (though still far less frequently than we currently do) if it were one ad for 5-10 songs. The back to back to back ad is definitely something I could see causing me to delete the app. I got one ad that literally bragged, “you play our game with no ads!” which made me feel like the ad-less app was just clowning on this one. “We don’t have ads, but you sure do here!” As I said: an undeniably fun game that I would happily sink some time and money in.. if they weren’t trying to force my hand to be miserable with ads or pay for their services.

rhythm game for normies. Let me start by saying this game is not bad in the slightest. The challenge is there specially in extreme difficulties. As a heavy rhythm game player (osu, prosekai, cytoid, muse dash, etc) I can still enjoy the uniqueness it brings to the genre, and believe a simple scheme such as this one can easily be marketed to people with little to no experience playing such games. The song choices of the game go along well with this idea, consisting primarily of well known songs that allow the player to play along with the music they know and love. Its a great game all around and is executed well, however I do have one complaint. This game lacks music that isn't as popular, or rather music that you would commonly see in other rhythm games. While this is a small detail for most who would play this game, for me its huge, because I actually don't enjoy any of the music featured in the game. Aside from what I like, if you are reading this review and want to get into rhythm games, and you like music youd hear on the radio, this is totally for you.

Way better than other piano games. Most of us probably know Piano Tiles; the game that brought us to Beatstar because it was better. (I’m not here to put down Piano Tiles because obviously what their doing is working out for them and if you do like Piano Tiles better than Beatstar then go ahead I have nothing against it just here to state my opinion 😂) At least for me, I switched to Beatstar because I really liked Piano Tiles. A friend had told me about it and I’ll be honest, I was really negative about trying Beatstar because I was so stuck to Piano Tiles but I fell in love with it within minutes. Unlike Piano Tiles, Beatstar matches the actually rhythm of the song, they have such a wide variety from current hits to 80’s and 90’s music. I like how clean the game is and that they give our free songs sometimes which is nice. The Deluxe songs aren’t really my thing because I’m really bad about arrows and can’t deal with DIAGONAL ones but that’s just me 😂 I really love Beatstar and I do recommend it. But if it’s not your thing, it’s not your thing. Thank you! 🎄

Probably the best music and rythme game. I generally don’t play tap and follow the rythme games. But, I think this is one of the best. The user interface is brilliant and it’s actually looks like a cellphone music player app. I really like the choice of the songs and the demo play of unlocked songs. The gameplay is really really challenging and addictive. Its almost impossible to get a 5 star that I really like it. Also, I have a huge criticism too. I really like to listen and improve my score for the songs that ai like, BUT the song case get fill really fast and after playing for like 5 minutes I have to wait at least for like an HOUR AND A HALF to play for just another five minutes. This really bothers me. I hope that developers work on this issue as soon as possible. It can be solved easily. For example we can play how much we want and improve our scores but when the song boxes are full we don’t get any progression. Overall the game is really enjoyable. I’m looking forward for improvements and new songs. Also, a search button in the songs menu will be appreciated.

Truly a great game. This is definitely one of the best games I’ve gotten. It’s one of the only mobile games I keep coming back to. As a music dj at a radio station and music addict, this is my comfort(if you will).The mechanics are decently easy to grasp, and it keeps the player entertained with events and bonus cards so you can keep unlocking songs to progress in the game, which is a genius move in my opinion. My musical interests are more geared towards alternative rock, hard rock, and indie. Seeing as spin-off game Country Star is just as fun(but it has some flaws), I would certainly love to see more spin-off games in the future(preferably that of rock and alternative). Granted, some of the charting for some of the songs is a little ridiculous(specifically Feel Good Inc.’s deluxe track imo), but I guess practice makes perfect. The only mechanic I do not understand is the fact that you can play for only a certain amount of minutes before taking a long break. It definitely hinders the experience(especially if I’m in a flow). So whilst it’s got it’s ‘quirks’, it is definitely an awesome game that’s worth your time! PS, Altstar, Rockstar, or Indiestar soon?

It’s Great! With just a couple flaws…. I LOVE this game and I have recommended it to many others! It give option ads for additional gems or unlocking a case but unlike many other games in this genre, doesn’t force you to watch an ad between every song you play, so that is excellent! Another great thing is that the arrows in this game (usually) make great sense and aren’t just thrown in willy-nilly to make the song “more challenging”. I just have the same complaint as many others - that is the inability to continue play when all your case slots are full. From the last update, it looks like it’s a feature that might be coming soon, but as of right now, is a feature that is still current unavailable. Also, the tiniest gripe is that, unless you are playing against others, there is no incentive to get gold, platinum, or diamond on any song. It doesn’t contribute to your ranking at all, which is kind of a bummer, but it’s still something I can brag to my husband about so it’s not all in vain. 😂 All in all, it’s a great game, and if the next update does truly fix the ability to continue playing after case slots are full, it will be a 5-star game!

Don’t spend money on this game. The game itself is very fun, and one of the better rhythm games I’ve ever played, HOWEVER. There are a few MAJOR flaws. The first is, the season pass is obscenely expensive. The second is, I spent money, and the second I spent money they took away the daily bonus gems. Which is absolutely infuriating because I need 1 gem to open another box and there appears to be no way to get it other than spending a dollar. The third, he gems are just so expensive for what they get you. It’s like 3$ to open a single box. If you want any less than 99% of the songs in a box don’t spend money. I opened a box with 12 songs in it 4 times and didn’t get the song I wanted, on top of taking away the daily bonus gems this game has pretty much felt like a high price money grab, especially because there are some songs, namely the international and old release songs, that you can’t appear to get any other way than money. (Update) updated to 3 stars because the daily gems were brought back after a day or two. I was able to get the box again but my statement stands on things being absurdly expensive. The game is well created.

Addictive as is. Still room for improvement. Totally addictive. I play it all the time. Pros and cons below: PROS: 1. Love how it looks on all screens and feels great. Love the bounce back touch when tapping songs 2. Lots of genres/songs to pick from 3. Plain and simple super fun to play. Not full song duration but enough to feel like a good play 4. Ads are voluntary /// CONS: 1. So many ways app forces to stop playing. I spend more time on app refreshing my 3 hour wait times just to have 4 attempts of a song. 2. The genre boxes keep growing with how many cards it takes to open a new box. Bruh, leave it at 20. 3. When I get a new song, i hoped it would be from a genre in my wishlist. It'll take forever to reach those 4. If I miss a key, the whole song ends! Bruh, let it just count as a miss and deduct from my total score. If a song is hard, it's hard and I miss. But don't stop me from playing. I want to play. Lol. 5. It's only a 3 lane tap. With increasing levels of difficulty, it would be fun to play with more lanes (I.e. 4 or 5 lanes)

Love it- But there’s one thing…. I got this game roughly 2 days ago, and I’ve been addicted to it ever since. I’m glad there’s a plethora of songs to win (especially since there’s enough songs I know from 2017 and below instead of 2018 and above and I don’t know who the heck half of these artists are); however, my one issue is the case boxes. I’m glad that it’s so easy to earn cards, but I believe you should be able to play even if the boxes are full. A simple solution would be to either lower the coin amount you receive once completing a song (or just higher the amount of coins you need to unlock the boxes), shorten the time of the cases (or just add more), or finally, my favorite solution, just let us play without winning the coins. No one would be mad about it. Now, for my more stupid complaint, where is the K-pop? I have 22 songs currently, and I only play less than 11 of them because I either hate the songs I haven’t played, dislike the artists, or simply don’t know the artists. With K-pop songs, I’d play them all even if I had no idea who the heck the group is- WHERE’S MY K-POP?

Fun, but not fun?. Oh, I’m sorry. Your case slots are full? Here’s a big middle finger stuck up in your face. Now wait 3 hours to play our game again. Terrible marketing ploy, not gonna lie. Beatstar does have very good songs and is very responsive, so it’s a pain in the rear to have to wait 3 hours after your case slots are full just to play the game again. And you know what really ticks me off? You’re given the choice to watch an ad for a free reward. When you watch an ad, you’re giving the people who made the app money. There are tons of people who downloaded the game, so the game should be more accessible as a result, right? Wrong. If you want to keep playing, you’re going to be spending lots of gems. And how do you get tons of gems? You spend real cash on something that isn’t as important as, say, for instance, taxes, or that new Porsche you’ve been saving up for. Point is, the game is fun, but this makes it not fun. And I don’t care if the songs are copyright. “Oh, you shouldn’t be able to listen to the songs as much, you should pay for it.” Well then why don’t you pay for better app developers for a good rating? I hope the person who came up with that gets fired and becomes a felon.

Good, impressive, awesome game. The first year I had to do a full day in a hotel was the best part for my mental state but it wasn’t that easy for my body and my body and I had a hard day at the hospital so it wasn’t that difficult to get to the y word but it wasn’t easy to do that and yyyy it wasn’t that bad I just felt so tired I couldn’t breathe I was tired and tired I just felt really bad and tired I feel so bad and tired and tired I was so exhausted I feel like I’m just really bad and I’m so exhausted I don’t feel good and I’m just really T pain but I’m just tired I don’t feel so bad for the rest yyy and I’m just so much better than what I’m feeling and I’m so glad that I’m feeling so I’m so happy for me I feel like it’s not just the other way I just don’t know how I can feel bad I feel so I’m so I don’t feel bad I just don’t want you to be sorry I don’t know how I just want you know I’m so I’m not really sorry I yyyy I’m so I’m so I’m so I’m not even mad I don’t feel bad for the last time I’m so I’m not sorry I don’t y know how to be like I don’t even

Could be so great. This game could be so great, even with the micropayments which aren’t super unreasonable, if the creators weren’t bound and determined to set people for failure playing. First the great- super well designed with a great current catalogue… that part is really fun, and in the beginning you will love playing the game. As you get better though, you’ll realize there is no winning. The game has a perfect hit bar but what you really need is all perfect + to master the song. Perfect + seems to be arbitrary.. hit the beat I guess, but that won’t cut it.. and it’s certainly not just hitting the beat within the perfect bar. All game levels have the same scores achievable. A normal song with over 300 notes will get you the same score as one with just over 200. And lastly, if you miss one note, you lose and start the whole song over…. You can have a perfect run for 3/4s of the song and miss just one.. game over. Good luck on expert songs where it’s nearly impossible to get every note. Just a bunch of songs designed to make sure you can’t play through them. Even a practice mode where you don’t get points but can play through would help. This game won’t hold my attention for long.

Just as Others Said, Cut the Wait Time!. My favorite IOS game since Smash Hit. The UI is unmatched and the gameplay is addicting. I’m just not a fan of waiting for cases to crack and for ads to play when… I’d just like to play the game. It seems counterintuitive from a developer’s standpoint to limit users from playing endlessly (despite whether we should lol). There’s no apparent way to earn more blue gems without paying real cash for them, except by using the onetime daily gift of like 5 gems and watching one ad (max) for another 5 in a day. This is the currency I need if I want to play more rounds. I haven’t even figured out where blue gems come from, or what “currency” supplies free rounds before having to watch ads each new round of play; I know it’s something to do with the pesky cases that take hours to unlock. Are my plays and gems coming from these cases? I’d just like to play unlimited rounds, and if I have to be limited by a blue gem paywall, I’d like to be able to earn them by playing in a practice lobby or something (like Duolingo’s system for earning more lives/hearts).

Slot Machine. I will say this game is fantastic in terms of being a game, but that is just what it is. It’s a game to play with your mind and wallet and or pocket book. Graphics are nice. There’s a nice assortment of Music once you’ve broaden your library through playing and unlocking songs, however there are flaws which make this game not enjoyable. The sync option in my opinion and touch sensitivity are broken. I’ve used various headphones (Wired and unwired) , speakers, and the my phones built in audio which I think works best but still broken. This game is broken intentionally because the devs want you to buy gems. Like every other game in the market today. It’s a cash grab. Is it fun, yes. is it addictive, yes. Is it entertaining, yes. It is a game, but not a fair one and that is the problem I have with this game. It’s designed to keep you coming back and spending money. I’ll give it 3 stars for its presentation and relevance with music. That’s it. I think it’s important to note, especially to the younger people out there as it’s designed to milk your pockets. Play the game don’t let the game play you, because it’s designed that way. Also reviews are selectively being posted to display.

It's actually pretty good. I don't normally write reviews, but as a long time fan of rhythm games I feel like I should for this one. And Beatstar is a pretty good game. It takes the formula that Piano Tiles invented, innovates a little, and cleans up a lot of the issues with that game. The UI is clean and intuitive, and the gameplay and song selection is really good. However, there are a few major criticisms that need to be said. The biggest issue is that gameplay sessions only last a certain amount of time. The game has a lootbox system for obtaining new songs, and you earn boxes by playing the game. However, if all 3 of your slots are full, the game won't let you play. It's stupid, and needs to be changed. There are a few other minor things, such as the songs being cut up and there being no progress bar to show how far into a song you are. But most of that doesn't really matter. Besides fixing the lootbox issue, I would love to see custom chart support added into the game at some point too. Custom charts really bring together rhythm games because it allows people to create their own charts, and really allows a community to grow and develop around a game.

Amazing game, but so much waiting. I’ve been playing this game for the last 2 days pretty much anytime I have free time it’s super addicting and I love competing against my friends. The amount of work gone into this game shows, it’s so amazingly put together and just a great time all around, at least until your boxes are full, then the game starts to seem less favorable, I love the idea that you earn boxes in slots kinda the same way clash royal works, but at least clash royal doesn’t stop you from playing against others when your chest slots are all full. I think everyone can agree with me when they say they would LOVE if this feature was altered in some way, waiting 3-5 hours for a box to open just to continue playing is very annoying especially when you fill your slots so quickly. Something has to change otherwise this game will probably die out very quickly. Every feature other than this has not disappointed so please SUPERCELL listen to your audience and alter this, I think it would attract even more players to the game. Everyone loves music, no one likes waiting.

Great game..BUT. I actually love this game. The only time you have to watch an ad is if you choose to for extra cards. My issue is some of the rewards don’t seem like enough. For example I always purchase the Season Pass. It’s $10 and comes with songs that aren’t available in boxes. Once you reach Level 30 the Season is over and those who have purchased the Season Pass get cards for every level up. Great right? Well yeah. Except it’s 1-3 cards/level which doesn’t seem like much. Especially considering in levels 1-30 you can get 8+ cards. My other issue are the Deluxe boxes. It takes FOREVER to open one of those. You only get 1-3 cards at a time and I’m up to 70 cards to open a box. Which is fine, but then when you play the Deluxe version of a song you get the same amount of Beatcoins you would for the regular version. So why even bother trying to open those boxes and get new versions of songs I already have? I’ve given up on the Deluxe boxes there’s not enough reward for me. The only perk with this new Deluxe thing going on is being given 3 songs to choose from when the box finally opens.

Its okay. This game is just okay. It is annoying how you need to advance in level to gain access to songs, which only exists to pad out the game’s song list, that would normally take one to two sittings to get through. Also, the game itself has a very low skill ceiling, which doesn’t allow for long term enjoyment of the game. Even at higher difficulties you can just look at the judgement line for when to hit notes instead of trying to develop pattern recognition, which other rythm games on the app store pretty much require. As soon as the player can do everything in the game, which takes maybe a month, its not fun anymore. What this game does right, which I believe is the goal that the devs wanted, is that it brings rythm games even more exposure. After FNF dying, this has been the game my friends have been begging me to play, and I am kinda happy knowing that my intrests are also being enjoyed by my friends that would not have been interested otherwise. Even though this game has a huge library of songs that most people recognize, I do not think this is the best option on the app store. Thank you for reading my rant.

Super fun! Very addictive💜. This game is extremely fun! Very addictive but could definitely use some new songs, but otherwise it’s super trendy! It isn’t like those games where in the ad it has the real song and then when you actually play it, it’s just a fake version. But this game has the real songs and it’s super fun. I do think that there should be where you don’t need diamonds (whatever they are called) to continue playing if you don’t have enough I think we should be able to continue. It also kind of takes up some of your storage which is kind of frustrating but it’s honestly one of those games where it’s worth it. I love how you have a wish list and if you fill the box you can get one of the songs or something! It’s a really exciting game and I play it daily for about 30 minutes a day! Be careful because I do recommend having a limit because like I said, it can get very addictive because sometimes you feel challenged and frustrated and want to do it again, which can go on for hours! Super fun game hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!💝

Started off awesome…. When I found this game, I was so stoked. I became obsessed with it IMMEDIATELY and couldn’t stop playing. I even paid five dollars my first week to get unlimited play time. The prices for premium content are outrageous, but that’s every app ever, so 🤷🏻‍♀️ I brushed it off and ignored all the paid stuff outside of unlimited plays. I have nothing but rave reviews for game play. This app is so fun and I love it. Literally guitar hero for your fingers in the best way. And the song choices have been awesome so far. Now I’m on my second week playing this game, and what’s ✨really✨ starting to get to me are the missed button/note notifications. There have been several times where I KNOW I tapped or swiped, but the song completely stops anyway and asks if I want to use gems to keep my streak going. I’m pretty convinced now that ya’ll do this on purpose to get me to buy more gems. Hate to break it to you, but I will delete this app before spending money on gems now. Maybe it’s not the game—maybe it’s my phone or something, or maybe I’m worse at this than I think I am. But either way, the trust is gone and I definitely won’t be spending money on here again for the foreseeable future.

Just some thoughts. I had to play the game long enough to be able to give an honest review and I have a few thoughts. The game itself is very fun and gives guitar hero vibes that 00’s kids can reminisce. There’s a nice touch having harder versions of songs and a decent variety of music to appeal to a bigger audience. There’s some issues I had in the past that were bug related that the team seemed to be right on top of with support which is nice to have. Some of ideas I have to make this game better would be unlocking songs with faster progression, every box you unlock will add another 5 cards you need to the next box. Another comment on boxes is it would be fantastic to be able to play songs with a full box inventory, I thought with supercell being involved the system would work more like Clash Royale where you can still play the game with full loot. Having a standalone game that is more like guitar hero instead of beats you mimic a guitar for rock songs would be a fun idea. Overall the game progression in Beatstar is slow the game itself is fun without the random ads and having to stop to open boxes. I hope the developers see this and make some improvements there’s a lot of potential for this franchise to grow.

2 Stars only😕. Overall, I’m giving this app to stars I would give it five but it doesn’t deserve five stars. My reasons is for 1. Most of the music are hard levels.. like for instants pop, culture rap culture, some Spanish cultures and rock oh, and also country and oldies depending on which is your favorite will be hard levels. Which ever music is not your favorite is the easiest to play.. in my opinion I feel that they should do a shuffle when giving music out. Don’t put all the music as hard or extra hard to make it fun and make it easy for others not everybody likes, metal and rock or music like that.. also, I feel that the prices are a little expensive, especially with the economy and inflation going up, maybe considering on fixing the app a little bit and making it more fun for others bringing out the prices will be good night. Everybody could a four $1.99 for just one music I safer to Music it should be $1.99. At first I love the game and thought it was beyond the best but little by little planet and trying to understand it. I read it the same as every other game. Everybody has their own opinions on what they like and don’t like if things were so changed just a little for this app then I give it may be a four stars the most but honestly I don’t think it deserves a five star.

One big flaw and one tiny flaw. I’m so addicted to this game!! The songs are current and or very well known the cases system allows for you to earn new songs which is great however, the greatest downfall is the case system. You only get three cases at a time to unlock new songs however when your cases are full you are done playing for a minimum of an hour and a half all the way up to five whole hours. Sometimes i just wanna replay one song over and over trying to get max perfect + on every note but i cant! How are you gonna get me addicted then tell me i can't play lol! A good solution would be to stop earning song coins for the cases but still allow me to play for the sake of earning more stars or a perfect score. I do frequently use in app purchases for this app but i just want to play! Take down the pay wall to play and we will still buy the exclusive songs and gems to advance in a song when we fail! Also if you add a gem store menu mid song when i fail, to allow me to buy some gems and continue on that would be great! These two things would make this a perfect app! You would already better than the competition if i could play all day!

An Absolute Must If You Enjoy Music. When playing Beatstar for the first time everything felt organized and smooth. For an app that’s free there is a lot of high quality content. From the variety of songs, to your progression, to leaderboards, and so much more, this app makes the most of giving you a premium like experience at the cost of $0. Unlike other similar games where the level of difficulty only increases with an increase in tempo, Beatstar punctuates on the smallest of details in songs making even slower songs feel equally challenging. The library you start with in game feels unique covering a fair range of genres and can be capitalized upon to your liking as you play more and more. It looks just any music library you’d have on a playlist, making the experience that much more authentic. Did I forget to mention there’s no popup ads? No matter your genre of music there’s something on this app to enjoy. A definite 10/10. Huge thanks and appreciation to the developers for putting together such a fun, easy to use, engaging app.

Wish it had more song choice or delete option. Really love the app but it would be SO much better if you got more song choices rather than always random because some songs are just absolutely trash and disgusting lyrics and horrible music, so much rap in every section most of it is rap music. The rock and alternative is crapola selections. At least let me delete the stuff I don’t want in my space. You do have the wishlist but I wish I could at least choose more preferences etc. Also so many times it says I don’t hit a button or swipe an arrow when I know I did absolutely. It’s super frustrating especially on hard songs when I know I hit it or swiped. But overall it’s a fun app when you figure it out and get the hang of it. It’s not easy but it’s a fun challenge. Just wish I knew the skills to really hit those high scores more often. Please Get some more Imagine Dragons, One Republic, Bastille or 80s and 90s theme boxes would be awesome. Too much rap, and so many Ariana Grande songs and similar stuff and I don’t like it so I have so many unused songs I have to constantly skip over. Just please give us a hide song or delete song option!

2 huge problems ive had but it’s a great game. i absolutely LOVE this game. It’s very addicting and has ALL types of music. BUT there is two problems..this game basically required you to either play quite literally PERFECTLY or you pay your way through..you can not progress without getting ridiculously high scores. You can score “perfect plus” “perfect” and “great” when you hit the keys. However, even if you get 50/50 perfect plus’ and perfect, for some songs thats still not good enough to get 5/5 stars. And without stars on songs, you can not progress. And if you play the game, you’ll understand what i mean. It’s extremely difficult..Im only a few hours in and i can not get any new songs because im stuck with 4/5 on 8 songs and 5/5 on 1..you need a 40 total. So im stuck at 37. Also, the fact that if you mess up once, it ends the song and that’s very annoying. Unless you use your currency which you either have to buy with cash or you can get a daily 2 currencies..and it takes 3 each time you mess up to continue otherwise you have to restart. These 2 things really hold back what really is an amazingly fun game
