Used to be a great game til they made it all about money
Sun Feb 10 2019 CjsimplyscrapsI’ve been playing this game since this one started and the original years before that. It can be a great game other than throwing french or other songs not from your country in the mix and screwing up the whole game. You tell them where you live so that they can cater your playlists and opponents to your country and then they throw these other songs into the mix that a lot of times are not even your language. It makes no sense. The worst now though is the last update they took away just about everything from the original game so there is no free game. You have to be vip which is a monthly charge. Don’t even sign up unless you want to pay because these gameowners are all about money and if you don’t pay and play the free game you are playing against the paying vip’s so the scales are always tipped in their favor. So sad the owners got so greedy and ruined this game😢
Some Suggestions
Thu Apr 04 2024 AR8299Update 4/4/24: loving the new badge page! So much easier to navigate now. Well done! 🌟🎉
This is one of my favorite apps ever, been playing since it came out. With that being said, there are some issues that get more annoying over time. When an old list you’re so close to mastering (or have already mastered) becomes a list you can now master for a badge, it makes you reset your progress!! So all that playing was a complete waste of time. I’m getting tired of resetting a list just to get a badge. I already put in all of the work to master it. If it’s already mastered, we should automatically be awarded the badge since it’s already completed. I never got the point of resetting it. Resetting should be an option if the player wants to voluntarily replay the list from start to finish. Please fix the page that shows our badges. Every time I click on a genre to see if I need to level up, when I go back to the main badge screen, it takes me to the very top of the screen. I then have to scroll through all of the achievement badges again (70 of them!!). It’s VERY annoying to constantly scroll past them since they’re at the very top of the page. I would suggest making the achievement badges a separate tab, not all on one screen.
Boring Now, Cheap and Money Hungry makes for a poor experience
Fri Feb 03 2023 nikk130It’s become quite pointless to play; at no point in time has a song playing app ever been or will ever be worth the price they keep trying to charge for their monthly VIP ‘Membership’. The tight 30 person opponent limit, inability to master playlists quickly and efficiently unless you get all 5 songs in a row right every time (which is obviously impossible), now they’ve made the party mode disappear so you can only enter after you’ve played opponents, the ridiculous amount of ads, begging you to buy a monthly VIP Membership and trying to force you to download whatever this party app thing is they have going on when they can’t even make playing the original worthwhile; this App is PAINFUL to use and play. Haven’t even fixed basic bugs in years such as actually playing a playlist when you watch and AD instead of tricking you into watching it for nothing in return but you’re wasted time and not ordering your mastered playlists so they’re at the top meaning the more you master the longer you have to scroll to get to the rest of them (is this not common sense bad programming??) At this point I solely play out of familiarity and extreme boredom. If anything else changes/gets worse yet AGAIN I’ll be gone ✌️
Use to love it but now it’s a rip off
Fri Feb 07 2025 How is every name choice takenI’ve played SongPop for over 10 years. It’s is literally the ONLY game I even play, and I am a daily player even if just for a few minutes. I never pay for App subscriptions but finally decided I’ve played SongPop long enough and I really enjoy it so I’d go ahead and pay $10 a month for the VIP. Ever since when I claim rewards such as unlimited tickets or power ups the app doesn’t want to work correctly until said reward times end and then it all functions as normal again. This is clearly preventing you from utilizing the rewards you earned. Then when it comes to the unlimited power ups once those end there will be 30+ of my regular power ups just gone…. Stolen from me by the app. Even the times I can’t even use the unlimited option.
This game has turned into a a trap and after 10+ years of loyalty - I’m about done.
I can’t stand greedy thieves and I will not support a company that screws over their paying customers.
I do NOT recommend wasting your money on VIP- they’ll just screw you over and steal from your account. You will not get what you pay for. I would’ve given a 5 star had I made a review before becoming VIP. After my VIP experience they’re lucky they get 2 stars.
Bots, bots, bots
Thu Jun 03 2021 BecGozI loved this game for years but it’s really ridiculous the amount of bots that are plotted against you in party play. I took screenshots of players in a round, final round scores, and then the total scores page. The bots scores rarely changed once they secured the top positions in the tournament and only changing to stay ahead of you or nudging you out of 1st place. WHY?!?!
I pay for VIP, I log in every single day for months on end, and I think it’s crappy you want more money for what? Nothing tangible so why spend more? And the new VIP is ridiculously expensive and I’m not really keen on paying that when in actuality there’s no real tangible prizes etc.
I understand your business is about making money but when it becomes greedy and shifts away from customer satisfaction and enjoyment that’s when I bow out. It’s super shady to have the bot players like you do. Forcing you to spend money or save up tickets and power ups etc for literally months on end to try and win a tournament but you can’t win against the bots anymore it’s gotten out of control.
I see all the complaints and tons of boards full on other apps etc.. maybe focus back on the customers that made you the money before you lose them..
Glitchy even with PAID ACCOUNT
Sat Jul 16 2022 lalajobo421I have played songpop off and on over their decade of existing. This most recent time (2022) I downloaded, i decided to pay $5 to not have ads etc. Shortly after that, they raised the regular pay price to $10 and reduced the VIP price to $10. Now it’s all even ground, either you don’t pay and get saddled with ads, or you DO pay and get none. Seems to be the only perk. BUT The rewards system for winning a party is all screwy now, as in, it doesn’t work for the stars. If you actually figure out how to contact customer service, they need screenshots of issues and will say they’ve fixed this or that, and they don’t. I have been writing down any game achievements just so I can keep track of their mistakes. I was offered to continue to pay $5 until Sept and accepted it before the “upgrade” so I’ll keep it until then. But i’ll likely go back to not paying bc it is sadly not worth the cost. Judging from other reviewers, by then the ads will likely be as annoying as can be, and you’ll have zero patience for it. Song Pop is a fun and addictive game, it’s a shame their greed, game stability, and poor customer service is ruining it for regular users.
App Allows Users to Sell Porn! (Reported 3x)
Tue May 16 2023 Luckydog65I have reported SongPop Classic user name: vansarah322 (Sarah V.) 3x since Friday, May 12, 2023 for offering to sell me as she describes it “my nude videos”. My wife andI thought I was being “pranked”, so we responded that we would not be inclined to purchase such material without knowing what would be sent. To our astonishment, she sent not 1, not 2, but 3 nude photos from every angle.
My wife and I were stunned because in 3 years of safe use, SongPop has always seemed to be pretty “G-Rated” … so we immediately tried to go thru SongPop Classics button to “REPORT USER” as there are lots of teenagers who use this app!
It has now been 4 days AND COUNTING with NO ACTION from the developers while this user vansarah322 still has an active profile on SongPop despite the fact that her chat and photos are still visible to the folks at SongPop Classic to verify, yet they choose to do nothing to ban her current account or her IP address from setting up future accounts under fake names. Please consider carefully the inappropriate ADULT material the developers are allowing to be sent within the SongPop Classic app before allowing your teenagers to use SongPop Classic. Best wishes!
Change is good
Thu Jun 13 2019 Rach249I was playing on song pop when the ad for song pop 2 came up and I wanted to try it. I absolutely LOVE all the new features in the new one. Like: see the percentage until you can unlock more songs, party feature, and just the appearance overall. Love the original song pop app, but I love this one even more. Also gotta say the party feature is my favorite bc I love you can guess so many more songs, compete with more people, and play at any time. So much love for this app. One complaint is when you would finish your turn you could see the songs put in an envelope and whoosh away, and now when I'm done all I see are ads. I liked seeing it whoosh away, I understand the app needs to have ads, but could they show up every time I finish my turn because it's getting annoying af. Other than that, all time favorite app. Another complaint I have is now the mastery streak boost is only for those who have VIP. I had almost gotten all five and had to lose it bc I didn’t have VIP. So I just think the boost shouldn’t be restricted to only VIPs
Great Game Horrible Customer Support
Sat Jun 16 2018 PercyGirl2Like many others I love the game & its offerings. After 6 weeks of playing however I had issues with not getting Daily Bonuses for the end of the 6th week. Instead it started my Daily Bonus with Day one Week one with no explanation. The same weekend I bought 3 packs of tickets & on the last one it didn’t give me the tickets. I contacted Customer Service about these issues. They responded with an e-mail saying they would address my concerns ASAP, but I never heard another word. So I contacted them again & they never acknowledged it or responded in any way. Their Customer Support is non existent & after reading all the negative feedback on trying to cancel VIP STATUS, I’m concerned that might be an issue eventually too. The VIP cost is too high for what you get too. I would like them to work on their Customer Service & come up with more 60’s categories. How about Psychedelic 60’s or Flower Power 60’s Contests for 60’s Badge holders.
Love, Love, Love this game, HATE THE ADS!
Mon Jan 13 2020 12349642268I haven’t played this game in over a year or two and I use to love it and play all the time because I am such a huge music buff so I saw it as a suggested download and thought oh yeah I liked this and started playing and within 2.5 seconds of playing I literally was like this is got to be a joke of some sort because literally LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE THING YOU DO IS FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY AN AD !!! I became so overwhelming frustrated that in the midst of playing against an opponent I was like For What? Like why is this so important or fun that I’m taking the limited time out of my day to sit and relax and enjoy something and have to watch ad after ad after ad after ad every time you do anything and I realize nowadays it’s like you except and know that 99% of anything usually is going to come with ads and it’s frustrating but not usually so overly bombarded by the ads that you literally just say despite liking and using the app you would rather delete it and keep it moving and find a similar app to this and more than likely not be consumed by the ads like that and believe me for every one app now there is 20 of the same nature or kind.
