SongPop Classic - Music Trivia in IOS

★★★★★ App Store Editors’ Notes

★★★★★ This app needs to be updated faster

The game is fine, the developers are so proud of their Valentine’s Day screen, but you didn’t get it until after Valentine’s Day or the day of it was still on a winter thing. We didn’t get Thanksgiving until the day off. Stop that if it’s too much coding to put on a new screen then put up a picture of the holiday, no coding needed. We want the game improved. One improvement y’all made was showing that your coins or your tickets or your power ups go up after the end of the special contests. Like for Valentine’s Day once that contest closed you pick up your price depending on where you are in The leaderboard, then you can watch your tickets and your power ups be added that’s a great addition. Every day at the beginning you get your daily deal so to speak. You either get four or five tickets or notes or maybe 60 coins and if you are upgraded, you can quadruple that. why can’t I get 20 tickets as the original offer or 20 notes, 200 coins or even stars? $100 for this game is too expensive for the little that you get back.

★★★★★ Boring Now, Cheap and Money Hungry makes for a poor experience

It’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

I’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

I 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..

★★★★★ Change is good

I 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

★★★★★ Glitchy even with PAID ACCOUNT

I 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)

I 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!
