Stats and xp.

I love this game and love how competitive it gets with vs another person in different genre of music. But I think there should be like a whole stat line on your progress, on your win percentage is all time, also the winning percentage on every month. Also have your win loss record. Also think there should be like different genre percentage. Meaning like which genre your really good at or if you have a low percentage in a certain genre you can work on it to get better at it. Also think there should be like a ranking system to see where place at all time in the app and based it on the w-l record and the all time win percentage. Also one last thing is that I think if you get to the point where you unlocked the double exp for the month that every time you level up a playlist that the exp for that playlist should be double exp as well. That’s it love the game and keep up the awesome work

There is a lot to like.. but a lot to be desired.

This game makes some really weird choices. For instance. You have to be Level 25 in order to even Like a song, you have to be level 15 to Chat with friends, that’s right the ability to CHAT is locked behind a Level wall. Something as simple as changing your profile pic will require you to be Level 16. This in its self wouldn’t be such a problem, if the game didn’t have what it call a “Experience Cap”. You can only earn so much. EXP a day, you can break that cap, by using the games premium currency, which means you will have to spend some money, just to level up! This makes it really hard to stay engaged in the first place, I like the idea of being able to play against another person all while discovering new artists you thought you’d never be into, but this game makes a lot of weird choices, I’m not a big fan of all these Level restrictions, why must I be a certain level to customize or like a song I thought was pretty cool? I have Apple Music so whenever I find a song I just look it up on there and add it to my library, and this is one of the games strongest aspects, discovering new tunes. It’s hard to recommend, simply because of the absurd Level restrictions the game requires you to have to even express yourself.

If you have the coin...

SongPop has generally been a game that forces a premium on you for user benefits; but in this version, it’s even more pushed onto the player with my least favourite feature added, which is the daily gold and exp cap. The game perpetuates a need to pay over this hurdle in two ways: you can either buy the premium (which is $9.99/mo, overpriced for a game of this nature), or use gems that are given from time to time, or bought using the in-game store. And the game has no shortage of reminding you that there’s always the option to pay for a premium by annoying you with reward blockades that always offer a premium reward bonus even if you’ve completely refused to take the premium multiple times. Other than the obvious cash grab the game presents, it’s an average “guess the game” quiz that only has a few feature additions and UI changes from its previous iteration in SongPop 2. Some of the response times are rather slow, especially on rewards blockades and the song library. If there is something that I can appreciate about this game compared to the last, it’s that unnecessary notifications don’t flood my game... for now. That’s all I have to say about my experience.

Review

I enjoy the game so much, but you creators need to understand that not all of us could pay premium, I believe that ads should want to make us get premium so you can get money, but at the same time you should understand that not all of us could afford it and I think that ads should be no longer than 15 seconds like are you for reals making them ads be 45 seconds, almost a whole minute like I think that’s so unfair, if you were to fix the ads to be at least 15 or even 20 seconds that would make the game more enjoyable and less boring. This is just my opinion to make the game a little better but it’s in your hands I just think that it makes it boring to be waiting 45 seconds just cuz we can’t pay premium and if it was less seconds of wait or even have a skip button after 10 seconds of the ad has passed! Thank you so much, I hope my comment helps to make the game better for everyone to enjoy :)

how do the mighty fall...

my first experience with this company was seemingly a GaJillion years ago when songPop 2 was first released, and their little game called RockOn! was functional... that game was basically an individual journey climbing Up the Stairs to The Stars of Rock ‘n’ Roll... and boy was THAT a great game!! In those days the only two games I’ve ever played on my iPhone was QuizUp and RockOn!; as of today both of those games are gone. I recently started playing SongPop 2 again, and it’s OK... although I was really surprised at the push push push towards “premium” privilege and (more importantly) monthly subscription. So I probably should not be surprised at how completely obnoxious SongPop 3 is. It has NONE of the charm of SP2 or even of RockOn!; it’s simply a head-long ride into “pay us money!” “pay us money!” “pay us money!” “every month!” “every month!” “every month!” Frankly I have never said this in a review before however there’s a first time for everything: SKIP THIS APP COMPLETELY!! It is horrible and a waste of your time, unless you *like* being shamed and made to feel less-than because you haven’t yet upgraded... to a ridiculously priced monthly subscription. For a _game_. _ON_YOUR_PHONE_

Performance has drastically gone down

I started out loving to play this game but over the last few months the response has been horrible to the point now where I really can barely play at all. I have tried both from my spectrum wi-fi and my AT&T cellular data basically the same on both. I click on chats and nothing. Sometimes I open the app and the vinyl just keeps doing its animation and the game never loads. Playing a tournament and the icons just soon and soon saying selecting playlist and it never does. Forgot opening the chat screen it rarely comes up. Also playing against and opponent sometimes after I have complete my turn the opponent shows up as still needing me to play, I click on the opponent and it comes up and say timed out on the last song and completes the game so I don’t get credit for answering the last song correctly which I in fact already had done. Oh and forget playing the lives, I gave up on those a few months ago. They really need to improve the performance of this game. So very disappointing especially since I am a plus member and pay

No personalization options and another excuse to charge.

I’m probably going to stick with Version 2 and skip this one. I tried it out and found (a) there’s no way to disable the ‘game sounds’ which aren’t part of the music; these sounds are pointless, distracting, and extremely irritating. In Version 2 this noise can be turned off, but not here — hope that feature is implemented soon; and (b) the coins won during each round apparently have to be manually collected, which is both a waste of time and an opportunity for merciless solicitation to ‘upgrade’ to a “premium” level — no thanks. I’ve been playing Versions 1 and later 2 for nearly a decade and paying a monthly premium membership for much of that time. But that loyalty apparently means little to nothing to this company because recently they’ve been pushing an even higher premium membership in Version 2, which I am not touching; and now they’re trying to squeeze more money for Version 3, as soon as I played my first game of this much lower-quality sequel. No thanks; I am about ready to call it quits and cancel my Version 2 membership, as well.

Great game but 1 single mechanic ruins the game

I have been a loyal SongPop player since the first installment, but by far this is the worst one yet. I don’t know in which part of the game it begins to be implemented, but as a PSA to those that are unaware or are still getting into the game, THERE IS A COIN & XP daily limit. I understand that this is implemented along with the ads that appear every other game to motivate you to purchase their Premium pass that remove these limitations. But after loving this game until I reached Lvl 30, I began to encounter the coin limit after winning 4-5 games and after the game informs me that I have reached my limit, it motivates me further to uninstall this game. I can suffer through the adds but when the coin limit regen rate is +5 coin every 5 minutes, I have to wait hours just to play 4-5 games where before I was able to play freely until reaching level 30 for hours which I enjoyed a lot. Just a shame that this game ruins itself by putting these things in place. I hope many read this as a warning and I hope they change this in the future.
