✓ HiIt's an ok app if you dont know what to do but im MAD because whenever i have to watch an ad to play a song it kicks me out :(.Simono name from comVersion: 8.4.9

✓ TerribleDon’t play this game... it has ads before and after each song you play , everything costs too much ‘smoola’ and/or real money.SamiandGlenVersion: 8.3.7

✓ Fun but musically inaccurateI’ve been playing this game since it came out, and while I love the selection of music and playing the music, I find the games own sense of rhythm very frustrating. Rather than approaching the line at a proper tempo, the notes go by your own sense of rhythm, and completely ignore rests in the music. A song often only sounds “right” when there is a constant string of notes coming. Any chords with gaps in between approach immediately after another and sound weird. This makes it incredibly difficult to play - and is hilarious since they already realised this was an issue when they had to create a proper rhythm system in the jam feature so it matches singers! Which would be fun to use if it weren’t so frustratingly precise. It goes against everything I was trained for within the app. Why not combine the best of both, have a consistent rhythm but the feature of tapping anywhere on screen? Overall I enjoy the app, but as a person who enjoys music it is frustrating to listen to, and the game rewards you for playing a song wrong..Ememchan30Version: 8.4.7

✓ AlrightThe bad thing is u have to buy the music to play.JhiyfxgxtrgjhtxfVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Don’t waste your time on this appI downloaded this app a while back and remember really enjoying it for there were lots of songs to play for free without tons of ads and it was easy to earn smoola (the currency). I re-downloaded it recently and it has changed... The game is littered with ads which have extremely high volume and even on your own songs you have to listen to one afterwards. Also, the keyboard really doesn’t sense your fingers; I am playing all the right fingers and it doesn’t say I am and so I earn less points, which is obviously frustrating. It’s definitely not a case of my screen being dirty (because it’s not) or the fact that I’m hitting the screen too softly or hard, it’s just the game. Another glitch is that often the songs I’ve bought are erased and I have to shut my whole phone down to get them back up. You have to pay to be VIP which seems to me is where you just get a few perks- it’s not worth it. Overall, it’s a shame this app is so greedy and poorly created because it could be, and was a good concept..Sparrow W850Version: 8.3.9

✓ Helpful ideas!!!!I think that this is a very fun and creative app, but only when people stop copying the same song from each other. The sad thing is that they aren’t even the right song. For example, I wanted to play the song “Every time we Touch” by cascada and when I search it up, I see that all of the songs say cascada on them. But when I listen to them, they aren’t even remotely close to the actual song. I would love it if you could add something to prevent that since it is very annoying. Aside from that, I think it would be a good idea for you to add a function that allows you to transpose songs that you have downloaded on iTunes for the piano. So basically, if I have a song on iTunes that isn’t on the app, I could select the function and it would transpose itself to match the app. I think that it would be a good idea, and I think that it will make the app more enjoyable. Overall, it is a very fun app and I would like to see more happen with it. Thank you!.JHONOSAURUS REXVersion: 8.3.3

✓ GREED. Greed has ruined this great game.An AD before *and* after a song, even when you press to reply the song you’ve already watched an AD for is just ridiculous. If I was to play the same song 3 times, I have to watch 5 ads which you aren’t able to press skip after 5 seconds like most games. I used to have a monthly subscription for the VIP access but I won’t even pay £4.99 per month, let alone nearly £10. Why is it so difficult for companies to learn that you gain more money by offering your game for less? I don’t play Fortnight but they are a classic example that you do NOT have to be greedy to be successful. Their game is free to play, no subscription and my husband has spent money on it ONCE. Yet they are making an absolute fortune. *off to delete Magic Piano*.HypozonicVersion: 8.3.9

✓ Alright.It’s okay. The game is really just about the beat, not so much about accurate finger placement. But that allows for you to play any song you don’t know. Some things that get real annoying real fast is where you tap with four fingers and it pauses the song (seems to happen almost every time I do it) which is super annoying and means you miss out on points, and because it pops up so suddenly, you might be playing and press down meaning to tap the next notes, but you tap “restart” and the whole song restarts. And sometimes the songs I bought with the in game currency don’t load. I have to reload the game every time this happens. Oh yeah and be prepared to endure a 30 second ad before and after each free song, each time you play it..Dissapointing fake gameVersion: 8.3.5

✓ Apple, and Other DevicesCloud Nineteen here again; the problems on apple are when you look at songs in previews, it doesn’t show the actual gameplay, and like others have said before, the latency, or the notes don’t sync when you hit them. They are really off, and it makes you lose your combo/streak when you try to hit them. You also Have to spend coins to listen to your own songs, and you can’t even listen to your OWN songs for more than 30 seconds; it just brings you back to the menu screen after listening to it for 30 seconds just like how it does this for every other song in the game. Here are the problems on every device; please stop cutting off the songs when we listen to them in the previews; it’s very annoying, plus, most of the songs we listen to on previews are songs we probably can’t even play in the first place since it requires so much smoola for just one song, so all we can do is just listen to 30 seconds of a song because of it. Another problem on every device is that you can play bot your levels; you can just press play on one of your songs, and it will count it as a play when you look into your level again, and, you can open someone’s song in “Composer,” not even edit anything, and still publish it because you can just add one note, delete it, and then publish it, and it will work; also, for some reason, starting on November 25th, you’re not able to preview and publish your levels anymore; it keeps saying that there is a problem, and to please try again..DdddwesVersion: 8.5.5

✓ Greedy for moneyI loved this game but the prices for songs now are ridiculous!!! They used to be 1 dollar for a song and most where free!! Now you’re giving me 5 dollar songs?? Delete this app cause the songs that are free aren’t free make everything free and make vip at least 5 dollars I understand that but the songs?? No just don’t do that they should also cut down vip 20 dollars?? As I said 5,5 DOLLARS!!! Not 20 this game makes you spend 122 dollars for everything MAYBE EVEN MORE this game could be so helpful cut down prices and stop lying to us I once opened a song and guess what it was a whole different song that I bought this game is so stupid I could scream every time i played!!.Callie townsonVersion: 8.3.3

✓ 🤢So i got this app thinking it’d be a cool casual game to pass the time but immediately after I got my first song I was hit by a paywall and an abysmally large quantity of ads. Every time I started and finished a song I would have to watch an ad, a song that was previously free was now $7.99/month to access it otherwise I would have to pay in game currency (which they are stingy handing out). So unless you’re willing to frequently spend money on this app or willing to sit through 8+ ads every minute (seriously, not kidding they give a LOT of ads) then I suggest not to install this app ever, unless you’re doing it just to leave a bad review. 0/10 would burn down your studios.B R U H W H A TVersion: 8.5.3

✓ My reviewThe four circles are Cool but it will make me stop.I play the real life piano.Tt20131111Version: 8.3.5

✓ Warning: Lots of adsFor anyone who wants to get this game get ready for ads to pop up constantly. Every single time you finish playing a song there is an ad that pops up every time without fail. When you click on a song there are ads that come up only sometimes. You have to pay for songs you want not with your own real money but you get money by leveling up. Each level up you get $1 and songs cost around $25 or higher. I am very disappointed in this game because of the amount of ads if there was less ads I would definitely love it and rate it higher..Jess😶❤️Version: 8.3.3

✓ Fingers too big?So I've only had the app for a couple of hours and I signed up for the free seven day trial. I love the selection of songs, and I played a couple on easy mode and thought they were quite fun. But if I change the difficulty above easy, there are times when I'm asked to hit three notes at once. The two dots off to the right are so close together I can't hit them both at the same time. I put my two fingers together as tightly as possible and tap the screen and it's only registering that I'm hitting one of the dots. I don't have big hands, I'm a woman of average height and average weight so my fingers are not chubby or unusual in any way. I feel like I am missing something. Like there Nice to be an obvious solution then I'm just not noticing. Especially because I don't see anyone else complaining about this problem. Maybe there should be settings I can change to make the dots a little bit further apart so that my fingers can hit them, but I don't see anything like that anywhere. So I really like the song selection and I like the concept of the game and the sound is very nice, so I would give it a higher rating if I could actually Play it above easy. Until I figure out what's wrong and how to fix it this app is useless to me..Jen ReevesVersion: 8.3.3

✓ It is okay, BUT could be better!!!I believe that Magic Piano is a good app. It is fun and creative.., and I really like the fact that people have the opportunity to compose songs ^-^... however, there are some huge problems about this app -.-... To begin with, there are SERIOUSLY WAYYYYY too many advertisements. (No exaggeration) There is an ad EVERY single time I finish a song. Also, when I select a free song (Or even one of mY songs!¡!) to play, an ad/video pops up. I think this is very annoying and makes me a lottt less interested to play the game. Another problem is that since a lot of the songs are not free, it is really hard to buy songs when you barely have any smoolas. It is so hard to get smoolas because (i don't know if this is just me) every time i complete those free offers to get smoolas, it NEVER works. Back in the olden days where the compose magic piano update was long gone, the offers would actually work and reward me... Magic Piano was not that bad a while ago, but now, its progress is going downhill :(.Twinkies5everrrVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Glitchy freeze screen I can’t fixI honestly don’t know.. I came back after a few weeks to play this game because I forgot about it. I opened (or tried) the app and.. it just froze the screen and about a minute after kicked me out. I was very curious the first time so I uninstalled the app (that made my favourite account deleted since I forgot my password) and re installed it. I played with the app I reinstalled and I left it without playing it for a few weeks and it did the same thing of freezing the screen and kicking me out. I forgot my password on the new account I have but I’m not risking uninstalling it again but overall it’s a really good app..🍑🍑Alyanna🍑🍑Version: 8.3.9

✓ OkHave to watch an ad for every song played. Have no patience for that..ShelTAC66Version: 8.6.3

✓ Old smule magic pianoI really want the old magic piano back because the new one is so hard and confusing! I wish we got the old one back as soon as possible(1 second) you can't even change your name or password or anything! At least we still have all the songs of the old smule magic piano for sure. I want to know why it changed and how and also how to get the old magic piano back! So only 1 star! I would do 0 stars or -10 stars but I can't any who.... You shouldn't Install this app or buy this app because....well....it isn't addicting! It's so weird this app! From CD.Tex-as yeahVersion: 5.0.2

✓ Not goodI started this app it was great all the free songs was good and then I played adverts to get free coins to get songs and I git my favourite songs and also I shared it to get more coins and then I got loads of my favourite songs and it was also downloaded on my iPad so I decided to play it I got a free song and picked another one from the song book the next day I opened my iPad and my free song I got from the start was gone I only had one left just now on my phone i opened the app and then all my songs are gone the ones I spent coins on I was disappointed and mad I had 19 songs and then it was down to 6 what a disappointment also about the adverts there is way too many even for free songs on my iPad I have the newest versions I accidentally activated this magnifying glass feature and can’t turn it off so when I press three fingers it normally activates as three fingers activates the magnifying glass also on iPad the three finger couldn’t sense it I’m doing the right pattern when I do four fingers on my iPad it normally stops it and frustrates me and when u level up u get 1 or 2 smule when songs are like 25, 50 or 75!.ëkbVersion: 8.4.1

✓ Too many addsThere are far too many ads. An ad pops up after every song and this can be extremely infuriating, as well as a major deterrent for anyone who downloads and plays this game. Please change this. Other than that it is a great time killer..Storm575Version: 8.3.3

✓ UUGGHH SO ANNOYING!! ADS?!?So many ads!! I know it helps the company, but there’s so much to were I get out of the game because of them. Don’t get me wrong, I love the game (kinda addicted) but I redownloaded the game the other day, and I don’t remember the game having so much ads. I mean cmon. I get on the app, ad, when I pick a song that I’ve already watched 40 million ads for, ANOTHER AD, and even when I get done playing a song..guess what, ANOTHER AD!!! cmon smule, where’s the game that I enjoyed without getting all these stupid ads. Plus, it’s like the same ads everyday. I’m okay with ads (because every game has them). Buttttt when they interrupt EVERY SINGLE TIME I PLAY, then I’m either gonna delete the game I love, or give y’all a review and hope y’all address and fix the problem. :) Yes, I understand y’all benefit from ads, but surely for how many people play yalls apps, and how many ads y’all have on a game in general, I think y’all are good on money. Please Please PlEaSe fix the PrObLeM!!!!! LOVE AND KIND, LAYTHEN!!! :) P.s- I love the game, and the games y’all produce. But, it’s basically all the stikin ads that I have to deal with just on this game. I hope y’all can fix this. Have a great day! :).PookeylookeyVersion: 8.3.5

✓ Waste of moneyWhy do you have to pay for the songs?? Like that doesn’t make sense. It takes to long to make the money. And there’s a VIP songs and I barely play any songs because of this. Half the songs are VIP. So basically you have to pay money to play. Don’t get the 7 day free trail. It charges you even though you canceled it...1 star.Michaelking303Version: 8.5.5

✓ Ads Magic Ads Piano Ads AdsThis is a great app, it's lots of fun, well designed and has a vast array of songs that you can actually earn very easily by playing more; however, I will not be playing more because there are simply too many ads to make the experience enjoyable. Here is a breakdown of how many ads you get: Click a song [Ad] Song starts...Finish song [Ad] Click on song [Ad] Song starts... You essentially get 2 ads between every song you pick. I could pay for the app (it's a subscription) and really I'm not going to pay now simply because of the amount of ads that I was bombarded with. So spite for the ads is really what stops me from paying for this game because it feels like the creators are trying to annoy me into buying the app. I have a simpler solution: uninstall..SnapplebonbonVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Make sure to cancel subscriptionBoring and expensive. keep in mind that if you uninstall the app it still charges you for the subscription repeatedly!!.AaroutauVersion: 8.3.3

✓ The ads drive you crazyThis app is fantastic, although to play a single piece you have to sit through about 10 ads which, quite honestly, drives you mad..SocraticUserVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Earned smule coins are not being added to balanceMagic piano is a really fun, well structured, and enjoyable game however new songs can only be obtained from moving up a level or buying the song with Smule coins. When I downloaded this game a few months before you could watch videos to earn smule coins (similar to many other games) but now if you watch a video to earn smule it doesn’t add the coins to your balance which means sadly you can’t obtain the new song your really wanted. I would rate this game five stars if this issue was resolved and the prices of songs costed less smule coins. Hope this was helpful..SmartypipVersion: 8.4.3

✓ I’m disgustedI went here with an open mind trying learn piano and learnt nothing at all. Why does this app even have piano in its name?.Classicly trained musicianVersion: 8.4.1

✓ Good But......It is a good app. And u can learn to like know what key is being played and like stuff like that but there are to many ads and I am getting a little annoyed because I’ve watched more ads then I’ve played songs I also find it annoying when u level up u only get one samoola thing I think u should get at least 25 so u can get a new song. And with the complete a survey and get 127 samoola I filled out about 12, 40 question surveys and got 0 samoola so... I just want Fricking samoola!!!!!! And 0 adds! I personally think that they should make the app cost money and the people who have already got the app get it free and then they will be getting paid instead of having sponsors always sponsoring their app and then the app creator doesn’t need to find a sponsor all the time. Songs should be free!!, I personally think that songs should be free because then people including kids get a turn at using the app as well and not have to pay their parents money or watch a heap of adds to get money. I know that some songs are free but wouldn’t it be Great if they could all be free.KayesyVersion: 8.4.1

✓ Ruined by greedGame used to be the best thing on the appstore, had a ton of free songs and they rotated in new free songs all the time, and you earned coins to buy new songs pretty frequently Now there is a 30 second to minute ad BEFORE AND AFTER EVERY SINGLE SONG, a lot of the songs are now "VIP" only when they used to be purchasable with regular coins or just free sometimes in the case of some of the disney songs (which almost all are now "VIP") So for a 2 and a half minute song you have to sit through a full minute or more of ads, you have access to almost no songs, and the best songs you cant even earn by playing you have to pay for vip which is a ridiculous subscription for a music game app This is a game that relies on whales to support itself while cutting out and screwing over all the other players.FlareonflareVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Could be betterIt ok but if you want to play any good songs you either have to watch 5 adds or pay using money, and I don’t know whether it’s just me with this problem but when ever I tap 4 fingers on the screen while playing a song on hard mode it just pauses the song taking me to a screen which says “resume” and “exit”, and when I press resume it start the song again straight away making it impossible to hit the next note or play the whole song without getting really annoyed. Fix these problems the I might consider actually playing this game.Grassssssssssssss26.Version: 8.3.5

✓ I feel cheatedI honestly really enjoyed this app for a while, kept me busy. So I decided to get the premium account; now that it’s expired, not only am I not able to play the songs that I already acquired but it’s asking me to pay ‘’smoola’’ for songs that I already payed for. total rip off, total scam. And way too over priced. Why would anyone in their right mind continue to pay 4 dollars cad per week just to pass time on an arcade game. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!.Frankfurt101Version: 8.3.5

✓ Stupid appI keep deleting this stupid app and it somehow keeps redownloading by itself. Gets boring quite easily and you have to pay for most songs. I do not recommend..Renee774Version: 8.3.3

✓ Ads!The amount of ads on this app is borderline unbearable. It’s one ad after the other and sometimes I get an ad even if I haven’t played a song but left the app open for long. The music selection is not great, at least the free ones. The rest is asking for too many coins to unlock ONE song. Not to mention the outrageous cost for a monthly pass. I remember it once used to cost you $5 dollars for a week pass and now it only allows you to pay close to $30 dollars just for a monthly pass. Again, very ridiculous pricing for an app that I ACTUALLY find enjoyable if not for the insane amount of ads and limited song selection. It’s a pity you got to spend an arm and leg for decent song selection and also forgo your sanity just to put up with the ads..SonsggfdcVersion: 8.4.1

✓ This game is plagued by addsVery fun game, however very annoying having to watch a add every time you press a button.JorduxVersion: 8.3.3

✓ It’s okayWell at first I thought the game was great until I realised how many adds show up all the time and and then I realised that the songs were expensive to buy with the coins and unless you pay the monthly cost that this game is actually not worth playing so to anyone who is Amy honking about getting this I would suggest think about whether you want to pay a monthly fee of currently $16 to play it because if you don’t you won’t enjoy this game much.VictorzsazVersion: 8.3.3

✓ ScammedStole $100+ from my account..I'msomaddddddgtdjkiggVersion: 8.3.5

✓ Could be (a lot) better.Sure, it’s a fun app. Fun to play. Interesting songs. Wide variety. However, this game will have all its joy sucked out of it if Smule doesn’t make less. I know that it’s a free app, and you need money, but if you put too many, you’re going to lose customers by the minute. Also, I would also like there to be more of a variety of difficulties. I mean; the easy, medium and hard bit is fine, but I would like moving on to the next difficulty to mean more than just adding a finger. It sounds pretty much the same too. This to me, as a keen musician is not very interesting. The ‘free’ songs never change, and the same unskippable ads show, every single time. I’ve watched the same ad ten times in a row! Overall, it’s not a very good app, but it’s nice for the patient type of person. As in, the really patient type of person..XxHappYou2berxxVersion: 8.3.3

✓ I have a problem...This is a good game, but there are lots of little things that I don’t like about it. Firstly, the coins that you need to use to buy other songs take ages to collect. Secondly, there are quite a few adverts which ruins the relaxing feel and thirdly, almost every time I download it I can only play it for a few minutes and then something goes wrong! For example, the last time I got it, it worked at first but then it kept on staying on the starting screen and not loading, and I’ve downloaded it now and, again, it worked at first but when I tried going on it again, it was frozen on where it was the moment I went off it, it was even stuck on the same lighting, and I just made my phone brighter! So if you read this, could you please try to fix these things, I would really appreciate it..Sam StaintonVersion: 8.4.9

✓ There are things that need to be improvedI really do like the game a lot, which may seem weird considering my 3-star rating. It’s just there are a few things about this game that make it less enjoyable. One: how hard it is to make Smoola. Honestly I’ve just given up on leveling entirely because I’m only getting 1 smoola every time I level up! You may say that you’re making up for it by giving us songs when we level up instead of Smoola, but I’m sorry, not all of us WANT to play classic songs. It was much better when you got 25 Smoola for leveling up, because it felt more rewarding and we could actually get the songs we want. Two: WAYYYYYY too many ads. I don’t want to see an ad every time I finish playing a song. I’ve actually had to find ways to avoid getting the ads just so I don’t have to watch them, but then I don’t get the XP for the song I just played. Maybe you should just leave the ads in the get more Smoola area. Three (and this is the biggest one in my opinion): The fact that it pauses any time I press the screen with four fingers. Ok, it makes sense that the pause screen would be sensitive if I push hard on the screen, but it’s doing it almost every single time I use four fingers, making it almost IMPOSSIBLE to play certain songs and enjoy them because it’s pausing every two seconds. Maybe you should make it so that the pause screen isn’t so sensitive to touch and there’s just an actual button to pause it, because this is getting really annoying..MinecraftMermaids👍Version: 8.3.5

✓ Enjoyable but impossible to buy new songsI really enjoy this app and it’s definitely a boredom buster when you can’t think of anything else to do. There is one major thing that really pisses me off though but is also a positive at the same time. This is earning Smoola to then exchange for new songs. The fact this app has ways of earning Smoola is excellent as tbh it’s very difficult to gain Smoola via levelling up and etc - especially when you’re at a high level and it takes a lot more XP to level up. However, the thing that REALLY lets this app down is when you watch a video and you don’t get your Smoola in exchange. I didn’t waste 30 seconds of my time to not gain my reward as a result of watching so this is certainly a bug that needs fixing as it is highly infuriating. Otherwise, a good app and I love the new composer feature as it has enabled me to play more of my favourite songs rather than being restricted to Smule’s library formerly..Abbs 🙈✨Version: 8.3.3

✓ It won’t workI used to play this all the time like 4-5 years ago. i recently got it again and played it once. Now I can’t even play it as it just stays on the loading screen. This happened before, maybe a year ago and I deleted the app and reinstalled it however it still wouldn’t load. However, like I said, when I recently just got it again after a year, i played it once and the sand thing has happened. Also, yes I agree with other people, the other songs cost way too much, so i’m stuck here playing beethoven and happy bday to you rather than playing songs i like as i don’t have the attention span to watch 5 videos to get a song. Please change this back to the way it was, the way I remember it as a kid!!! thanks..Freezing all the timeVersion: 8.4.1

✓ Almost unplayableThe game itself is wonderful- song choices, actual gameplay, free songs, and daily challenges etc. But the number of adverts is ridiculous. Every time you finish a song, you get an advert. For free songs that's an advert, then seconds of actual game play, then another advert. I understand why there are adverts and am not saying they should be completely removed, but the volume of them is a serious issue. Then, the fact that there is basically no way to earn smoola to buy songs. You might get 1 or 2 for levelling up, but that's insane considering songs are 25 at their cheapest and many are 50 or 75. Really the only way to earn smoola is watching videos, which would be fine if it weren't for the ludicrously high volume of adverts already. There's encouraging people to pay for a premium version for perks, then there's destroying the free version of your game to make the only reasonably playable version the paid one. This is the latter, and it's a joke. A really good game that is just sabotaging itself really.I just want free hints...Version: 8.3.3

✓ Very AddictiveI love this app, I've had it ever since it came out, such a big fan!!!...only thing I don't like about it is the fact that whenever you're not connected to Internet, a lot of the song can't be played, would definitely give 5 stars if this is fixed, is there any way that they could be stored for offline play?? Especially since I've bought a lot of the songs :/ other than this, it's such an addictive game!.TtiopiraVersion: 6.0.0

✓ Reward the players that help youI love the game, but dear god - the amount of ads rammed down your throat is ridiculous! You have to watch 5 ad to get enough for 1 song, and then you get another full 30 second ad every time you play a song. It’s too much - after song ads should at most just be a still pop up, not a video. The composer feature is great, loads more songs available - but why are the players that create the songs (that you charge 25 for) get no pay for their work!? Even 1 for each upvote would be an improvement - give an incentive to create good songs..EprdlvVersion: 8.3.3

✓ AwfulThe grind for currency is absurd, and levelling up is sluggish at best. Choose another piano app to use..#%$&@ gamesVersion: 8.5.5

✓ Too many adsMy daughter, when younger, was aspiring to become a musician when she was older, (which I totally supported) and she had an obsession for music. So I browsed on app store for good music apps and found these 'Smule' apps. I downloaded them for her on my phone, after first going on them myself, and gave it to her, thinking it was a good app. Just recently, my daughter found your apps again and remembering the fun she had on the games from her childhood, she decides to download it again, this time she did not enjoy her experience with this app at all. She is now at crossroads on wether she should continue with having music as a hobby or not. Smule has basically ruined my daughters future as a musician, and this is all because of the constant ads. Now I understand that you need money but that's what you got the premium and VIP packages for. As someone who took an interest in your apps because of my daughter, and kept it for over 2 years, I am very disappointed. Will be deleting this.The new update🙄Version: 8.3.5

✓ I like the game but1. Having to pay for the songs is pretty dumb and 2. It's extra dumb when the songs you have to pay for go to fast. Like "when I was your man" by Bruno Mars. In the learn to play song it plays at the right speed. But if you try play it at the right speed in the game it says to slow. Obviously the dots are moving to fast. It sounds stupid at the start. Fix it please. Same goes for adore you by Miley Cyrus. Pretty annoying..You so annoyingVersion: 6.2.1

✓ AnnoyingThis game has so much potential . However, the number of ads is a pain. But lots of people have mentioned this so no need to repeat what everyone has already said . The thing that is more annoying for me is that whenever I try to use four fingers to play, the options menu swipes up. It means that every time a four finger chord appears, the song stops, the menu pops up and I have to press resume . Is there a way to fix this issue? It’s making it very hard to play and if it’s not fixed then I’ll delete the app because it’s pointless if you can’t even get through one song without interruption ..LottyLH.96Version: 8.3.5

✓ Too many adsToo many ads.Georgenelson5Version: 8.3.5

✓ TerribleThis app has gotten worse and worse. There is very rarely any free content created. I have a large library of songs that I accumulated when the app had a bigger variety of free songs, but even I get bored of playing those. So, does that mean I buy a VIP membership? Of course not! It’s super overpriced! To put it into perspective, a year of VIP is $40 which is about as much as a good quality Nintendo DS game. Not only does the Nintendo DS game have more to offer (offense intended) you also get to play it forever. It’s one payment of $40, not $40 a year like Magic Piano. Who in their right mind would buy a VIP subscription to Magic Piano? So, that’s off the table. I should just play the songs I have and get over it right? Or maybe save up smoola to get more. First of all, smoola takes forever to earn. I’ve been playing this game on and off for years and I got enough smoola to buy one song ONCE. Not to mention I had accumulated a lot of smoola at a point (probably over 100) and I opened the app one day and it was gone! The only reason I gave this app any stars at all is because if you’re playing one of the few decent songs you can, it’s really really fun. But it’s a terrible app that begs for money from us and lost what made it so great..TifpowVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Sign upWhen i try to sign up i typed the right password but it keeps saying the operation couldn’t be completed please fix this problem!!.Gardener pickerVersion: 8.5.5

✓ Went downhillI used to have this app as a very young child, and the only reason why I deleted it was because I got frustrated at its difficulty. Just recently, the game crossed my mind and I decided to re-download it and give it another go. Because I’ve gotten a lot better at video games over the years, the difficulty of the game was no longer a problem. There, were, however, new problems with the game that I didn’t expect to encounter. For starters, the game has WAY to many ads. I can’t play a single song, not even a short one like Happy Birthday, without being forced to watch a stupid, boring video that I don’t care about. I got this game because I remembered how fun it was, but it’s kind of hard to have fun when 90% of the game is just you watching ads for other games. Second of all, this game is basically begging you for money at this point. The fact that some of the songs are only available to VIP users is just stupid. Do they really expect us to spend actual money on a stupid piano game that we have on our phones? Besides from that, every achievement you can accomplish in the game (leveling up, getting new songs, etc.) can be bought with just a few bucks. The fact that literally everything in this game has been put up for sale is terrible. Well, that’s my review.LencofamVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Magic piano by smuleThe magic piano by smule has too many ads , please delete and remove it because nobody likes too many ads it angers them and upsets them. Thank you . Sheetal Baijal.Sheetal baijalVersion: 8.3.5

✓ Room to improve1. I downloaded this game on my phone and then on my iPod but my smoola and songs on my account didn't transfer to my iPod. 2. This game only connects to Facebook and it would be great for it to connect to game centre. 3. All of the good songs cost so much smoola or are vip so it would be awesome to have daily log in free smoola. Or free smoola if you get 3 stars. Or more smoola when you level up. Overall, this is a great game and I am so addicted..KylaMH02Version: 7.2.7

✓ Im so bitterI’m so incredibly disappointed in this app. I used to have it a long time ago and I loved it SO MUCH. it was so soothing and I would play it every night before I went to sleep. But that was on my old iPad, and now it’s incompatible with the app. I had never played it with my phone cause I thought the screen would be too play to play properly (I was right), so I never got it. Then I saw an ad for it and I thought “that would be fun to try again!” WRONG. I’m so mad. The first thing it’s greets me with is “you wanna but a membership that’s way overpriced?”. Then after that I tried to play a song and was bombarded with SO MANY ADS!! Also, I tried to play a song from the little mermaid that had the voice along with it, and it WAS NOT synced up at all!! I used to play the ones with the voice all the time, so I know how it works. I wasn’t doing it wrong. When did this app become such a sell out?!? Literally like 3/4th of the app is all ads. It’s completely ridiculous. I’m so disappointed and frustrated. I just wanted that soothing experience again. Listen Smule, you don’t need all this crap to sell your app. You’re just making people mad. Please give up back what we want..ƖıŋɖʂɛყVersion: 8.3.5

✓ Fun to play, but not my styleI’ve downloaded this app on and off lately, for separate reasons. First of all, I hate all of these ads! I mean, sometimes every time you enter a different song, the same ad pops up. So on top of having to watch these stupid ads for different games, it’s the same one over and over and over. It’s so annoying that I’ve purposely turned off my Wi-Fi just to get rid of ads. It’s ridiculous! Second of all, I hate that the achievements give you only one or two coins! I mean, about eighty percent of the songs cost twenty five coins! And you work so hard on a single achievement to only get one coin? It’s stupid! Last but not least, there’s the case of this VIP stuff! I mean, half the songs in the entire app is in the VIP section! And almost all of my favorite songs are in the VIP section! It’s just not fair. Why should we spend our money on some stupid things like VIP memberships when eventually we’re gonna delete the game for all these reasons! Basically what this game- and all games in fact- is saying is that instead of using money to buy exciting things, we’re using it for an online item that isn’t real. It’s ridiculous, it’s stupid, and it’s a waste of money. Even though I somewhat enjoyed the game, all of these things are making my interests go down! Fix these things!.FoxeGamer01Version: 8.3.5

✓ DisappointingIdeally this would be a great app. It was fun for a bit but there is really not that much you can do without spending money. Smoola, their currency, is soooo hard to obtain. There are these achievements you can get but after the first few easy ones you realize that the rest are impossible to get. You have to play more songs to get the achievements that get you smoola, but to be able to play those songs you have to buy them with smoola. Either way you need smoola and the only way to get it is to buy it with real money. There are tons of ads just to play song that last only one or two minutes. Whenever I saved up enough smoola ( a rare occurrence) I was so happy because that means I could get a song. So over the course of the few years that I have had this app, I have been able to buy ONLY FOUR SONGS! (I don't use this app that often, maybe once a week or a bit more). I also wish there was a way to preview the songs before you buy them. For two out of my four purchased songs, I have been disappointed with the way they sound. This app would be so much better if you didn't have to spend so much money to enjoy it..Dame maggie smithVersion: 8.3.5

✓ Good!I used to play this app E V E R Y D A Y, A L L T H E T I M E. but kept deleting and re-downloading. It used to be great, couple of adds now and then, which was fine, after all, it is a free game so it needs some profit. I remembered how much I love this game so I got it again. I now have adds every time I press on a song, and every time I finish one. It becomes really annoying and I dislike it so much that I have to occupy myself instead of watching the add. The smule count is verrry low, so I have to keep watching 5 ads just so I can get enough smule to get a simple song. The free ones are cool, just 4 of them are the same one... The ads are driving me crazy, but good app..I have a opinion😎 sorry!Version: 8.3.3

✓ ADDDDDSSSSS!!!!!!????!!!!!Omg!!!! This game was actually a really good and fun game to play and I used to play this all the time until the ridiculous amount of ads drove me insane. Every time you want to play a song that says that it’s free you have to watch an ad, and if you want to play it again you have to watch an ad, so ultimately you don’t earn anything, and every (and I mean EVERY) time you finish a song, even if there was like four notes in the whole thing, you have to watch a lengthy ad then play the demo then go out to play another song only to have to watch another AD!!!!! Another thing, to buy a song for smoolas, the lowest price is 25, and yous didn’t actually set a way to get smoolas, seeing as you only get 1 or 2 when you level up, so the only way to get more than that is by , WATCHING MORE ADS!!!!!! Not good enough, sort it out!!!!.Melissameguire123Version: 8.3.5

✓ Not like I rememberI had this app a couple years ago and absolutely loved it. It was challenging to play, since I only had a tiny device to play it on, but it was great. I actually felt like I was making progress with each song and difficulty I completed. I fell out of touch with the app in college and recently decided to redownload it because of how fun I remembered it being. I am disappointed with what Ive found. It feels like the only way to actually progress and earn coins for new songs is to spend money. It’s either that, or play the same few songs over and over again, making little progress each time. I could play a song on the hardest level without missing a single note, and still barely progress to higher levels. Not to mention the plethora of ads. I fully understand that when you play a game for free to expect a few ads here and there, but no other free app I’ve ever used has shoved so many ads in my face. I was able to tolerate it for a while, because the game itself is loads of fun, but my patience has worn out and I’ve deleted the app from my devices. It’s a shame because I absolutely adore the gameplay and ability to compose my own songs. I got this app to help relax when I have an idle moment between school and work, but it’s proven to be more stressful dealing with the above issues than it’s worth. It’s absolute waste of time, money, and effort..PennePastaCatVersion: 8.4.1

✓ Rip off!Don’t get VIP. I played VIP for ages and reached the highest level in 2015. Since then I stopped being a VIP. There is the promise of more levels to come yet there hasn’t been any new levels. I can’t earn stars even on the free play music. The music I unlocked as a VIP was no longer available to me. So now I am very limited to what I can play and have no hope of progressing. I can’t even reset the app to start again. When will you honour your word Smule? You have had four years to provide more levels and you’ve taken all the VIP money and there’s nothing! Shame on you!.Froggo59Version: 8.3.9

✓ No longer any goodI played this app when it was first available. I loved it! There were a few ads plus you could earn Smula by watching an ad. It was reasonable. Now! You have to watch an ad before and after the few free songs available AND the songs that are mine, that I bought, now have an ad after playing but before u get your points. If you don’t watch the ad you lose your points. Earning Smula is insane! The number of ads involved just to get points towards a level that when complete gives you 1 Smula. Any song to buy is 25 Smula (to put it in perspective). I don’t recommend this game or any games thru this company. They are greedy and underhanded. They used to be one of my favorite and trusted companies. I hope this company realizes that no one is going to pay u for ads if u have no one playing your games. You seriously need to revamp how your doing your games before your greed puts you out of business!!! It’s not like there’s no competition with other similar games!! DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS GAME. Be prepared to spend 90% of your time watching ads if you try out this game. The single star I gave is a tribute for the way this game used to be..LvsdollsVersion: 8.4.1

✓ Problème de compositeurDepuis la dernière mise à jour, je ne suis plus en mesure de pouvoir mettre à jour mes travaux fait à partir du compositeur et ce malgré la désinstallation et la réinstallation de l’appli. J’ai envoyé un email au support de Smule il y a un mois et toujours rien de corriger. Ça va faire 4 mois que je ne joue plus à cause de ça. Si ça pourrait être corriger, je mettrais au moins 2 étoiles de plus..Novaly_13_03Version: 8.5.5

✓ Huge shameI used to have this game when I was younger and I remember really enjoying it, so I recently downloaded it again only to find that it was riddled with ads and almost impossible to level up and get Smoola (kind of like currency used to buy songs but really hard to get). I also have something that needs to be fixed; there is this song someone made (Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi) for people to play but the singer (who is labelled as Lewis Capaldi) seems to be making fun of the actual singer by singing terribly on purpose. I saw that there was a report button, but now I can’t find it anymore so I can’t report the song. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone as Smule have just got greedy and it’s all about money now instead of enjoyment. Sorry ☹️.CourgetteBeaVersion: 8.4.1

✓ MehYou need to be able for other people to play their own keyboard and play along with their own keyboard or piano.Markham familyVersion: 8.3.3

✓ May as well be called addsThis is suchhhh a great game. Loved it for such a long time. Very disappointing however. I can understand adds in a game. It is one of the easiest way to make profit. But the amount in this game. And vip? Such a scam. I was charged 40 pounds after trying to purchase it and never got vip. Even when I payed for now adds it didn’t work and I was charged around 50 pounds all together. It is unplayable without money because every time you play a song it gives you a 30 second add. And the coins… literally the only way to get new songs is to watch adds..ThaneibxhdVersion: 8.5.5

✓ Please refine the tap sensitivityI have played this game quite thoroughly over the years and thus have come to the skill level of playing faster tunes. The touch sensitivity is quite ridiculous to say the least. I constantly get “too many fingers” reminders and the like. It would make the game much more enjoyable if things like this would be looked into, as this has been on ongoing issue for quite some time. However I still love and enjoy the game very much 😊.Ricey619Version: 8.5.5

✓ Charging me for a Free Trial??I used to play this game all the time like 2 years ago and loved it. However I recently found the game again browsing the App Store and decided to give it a whirl again. When I got on the game it said I could have a seven day free trial so I did because why not. Im not one who usually bothers with subscriptions to games but I enjoyed this game so I activated my free 7 day trial after putting my debit card details in (I had to, too Activate the trial). Within 2 days I couldn’t download anything on my App Store so I googled my issue it turns out that the game charged me £7.49??? Even though I cancelled my subscription straight away? Im not sure what happened? Im not sure if it is possibly my fault for Misinterpreting the information given or the game Produces for not making information clear. There are also to many adds when trying to play the game which really takes the fun out of the game 🤭😐 Other than a payment issue and too many ads the game is really fun and enjoyable ☺️.Danna leighVersion: 8.3.5

✓ Unpleasant unless you payI like this game and I used to play it a lot. Every time I come back I remember why I lose interest in it so quickly. Unless you’re willing to pay $26 per month or $66 per year, you have to pay for songs with in-game currency (smoola). Smoola is so hard to get. You only get ONE for levelling up (which takes forever) and you only get 1-2 for achievements. Cheapest songs in the game cost I think 25 smoola which means you’re going to be waiting a while to buy even just one song, which gets boring after you’ve played it a couple times anyway. Forget songs that cost more than that. Almost no songs are free, even well known Christmas songs and some classical songs. This game is for people who can pay, that’s it..Shadowthehedgehog31Version: 8.6.3

✓ Lame..This game sucks. Who would ever in their right mind pay money for this crap? I pity whoever has downloaded it to earn game credits and forgets to cancel before the 7 days. Waste of money!.KailarrVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Too many adsObsessed with this game but it literally gives you an ad before and after every song. that’s excessive pls calm down. and after a song it always crashes so that you don’t even get the points from the song you just did. also make it easier to get coins or make the songs less expensive like?? who in their right mind is going to pay $15 a week for a game. a silly little game on the phone. do better cause hitting those notes gives me serotonin and i need it thx.HeuwbehehebdhVersion: 8.5.5

✓ Add onsI think that this app is awesome except some songs I want to play I have to get smule!? So I think that you shouldn’t have to do that, I think that you should just be allowed to play. And also you should make it a full wi-fi free game so you can search things up and get a full answer without wi-fi. Other than that I think it is a great app and I recommend it to anyone who is learning the piano. 🎹.Madeline WintersVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Love game but....This game is a perfect game for when you are bored or stressed and you just want to play the piano. I also love how you are able to make your own music on the app. There are a couple of problems in the problems in the game. The first issue is that the game glitches a lot sometimes and I have to shut my phone off a couple of times and that gets annoying. A second issue is that the game takes a while to load once you open it (the longest I ever waited was about 5-8 minutes). A third issue is that if you want to play a song you have to pay for it or use coins which you have to pay for or earn by watching ads (sometimes the ads don’t even load correctly so you can’t watch the video for coins).The songs are also expensive so it’s hard to get songs. A fourth reason is that when ever I click on something I the app there is add. Adds always pop up and one time one was inappropriate(a choices add that had sexual content).Also if you create a song you don’t get to be able to own it you have to pay for it!!! I understand you guys need to make money somehow but still!!!! I like the game but it needs some tweaks for the perfect fun experience..Unicorn Magic 432Version: 8.4.1

✓ A bit of a ShameI really like this game, I think it’s cool that you can play classic music without learning all the notes and keys but there are just so many flaws. There have always been ads, but recently the whole game has been overloaded by them, not to mention that to unlock a “free song” you need to watch a 30-60 second ad which buffers and often takes you out of the app. Another thing is that whilst you may think that once you buy a song (which costs 25/75 “smoola” which come few and far between) you only have it for a short time before you have to buy it again. I initially thought about getting the VIP Access but it’s just so expensive there’s no point when I will probably end up deleting this game within the next month..PoppykerrrrrVersion: 8.3.5

✓ It’s okIt’s ok like it’s fun but some parts aren’t that great.JnshfirjdnfheiejfhhVersion: 8.4.9

✓ Even Mad Men didn't have this many adsI loved Smule when I first played it several years ago. I decided to come back only to find almost all of my songs in my library paywalled. And then there's the ads. So many ads. Too many ads. I hope you like coloring book ads and bootleg Chinese app games and their stock songs, because I guarantee you'll memorize the ads and their songs before anything in your actual Smule library. What makes it even worse is the fact that 99% of all the songs are now 25 Smule points. Even unfinished user pieces. And to make the ad situation even more humiliating, if you watch an ad for the free Smule there's a 50/50 chance you won't even get the Smule point for wasting your time playing one stupid ad. Adding further insult to injury is the fact that each song. No matter how short. How long. Or even if you're replaying it, is met with a 30 second ad for an app or game you'll never consider downloading after it plays for the millionth time. Go play a different piano game, or better yet learn to play the actual piano. I guarantee there'll be less ads, and you'll probably learn the instrument in the time it would take you to earn 25 Smule points..The Diddly Doodly DiddlywangerVersion: 8.5.5

✓ U WANNA READ THISSo this is a really great game that I find fun and calming but I have a problem it shows WAY too many adds!!!! Every time I finish a song I want to find another one quick but oh no ur sitting there for about 15 seconds?? And it is really annoying so if u wanna get this game u will have to have a lot of patience unlike me and I get really annoyed but it is addictive...if I delete it soon a download it back so if u have a good patience then this is a great game for u if u don't have a lot of patience don't bother getting cuz every time u delete it u will probably download it again hope this was helpful.Morgann273637382828282883833Version: 8.3.3

✓ Used to be betterThe Magic Piano used to be the game of all games. It was a nice challenge between friends and family, and it was fun. Now however, they have switched to a money making approach rather than keeping the app engaging. After each song you finish, you get an ad. After every action you take, you get an ad. You don’t earn many smoola and you level up very veeery slowly. Furthermore, the only way to get any free smoola doesn’t even work! How come does Smule thrown so many ads in my face and when I want to watch an ad for free smoola, it always says there are no ads currently available? Also, the “surveys and miscellaneous” smoola earning section does not work. I have tried many times and haven’t gotten any smoola. Finally, a lot of the songs I got a long time ago require me to watch an ad before playing them, and then another ad after. And some songs I bought don’t even work anymore with the error that they can’t download. All in all, it’s an amazing app. I love it and I have been using it for a looong time but it has changed for the worse..GhostAnimojiVersion: 8.4.5

✓ Sucks and its too hardYou need to pay money for EVERYTHING..James CharlesssVersion: 8.5.5

✓ Great Game... but also some honestyAlright, so I would like to start by stating that I absolutely love this game as a game, but I've come across some shady business practices from Smule considering their billing agreement. I did the one week trial, loved it and then paid for another. I decided I needed to not pay for the subscription for personal finance reasons, so I canceled my VIP membership. Low and behold they charged me for VIP the next week, so I removed PayPal from my payment methods on iTunes. Funny thing is, even after cancelling the subscription and removing PayPal as a payment method they continued to charge me for four more consecutive weeks. I had to claim fraudulent charges through my bank to get the payments to stop. I'm not sure if this was a mistake or shady business practices, but make sure you manually stop the recurring charges through your bank if you want to stop the VIP membership. That is honestly the only reason I gave this game three stars. If not for that singular incident I would definitely have rated it 5 stars. Great game! Love it! But I'm going to be uninstalling it after my experience..LSIRsmokeALOTlVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Love the game! Just a small issue :/The app is absolutely amazing, however I occasionally encounter an issue when playing difficult songs. Whenever I use four fingers, the pause screen comes up, interrupting my game and ultimately resulting in a lower score. I’m not sure why this happens, but if anyone knows how to prevent this from happening it’d be much appreciated, or in a future update they could potentially remove this feature. ☺️.NatalieCopper3033Version: 8.3.5

✓ When I watch an add I don’t get my coinsFix it.Missy377373Version: 8.3.5

✓ So. Many. Freaking. Ads.Ugh, BEFORE and AFTER I play a song, I have to watch an ad. I can’t X out of it, because then I just close out of the app and lose my progress, and end up repeating what I tried and failed to do before. I give it three stars, mainly because it is a great app overall, with fun songs and options, xp points after every song you play that you save to level up, rewards, etc. I think it would be such a better game if there weren’t as many advertisements! Also, almost everything is too pricey. It is hard to get through the game without purchasing something. There are only eight free songs I know of, without being a VIP, and once you complete those, you kinda have to just replay them until you level up and get more smoola to buy a song. I think this game has potential, but please add in more free songs and lower the amount of ads I see, because honestly it is super annoying, and I want to delete it but I would lose all my progress. If you make these simple changes, my star rating will go up, and I guarantee others will too..LittleNerdyElephantVersion: 8.3.3

✓ I used to love it...So I've had this app probably since I was 15 when I first got my iPhone 6, and it was addicting up until now. Okay so last night every single song I have showed 3 stars next to each level of difficulty that I have played at, and just a few minutes ago when I went to open the app, ALL of my songs showed no stars highlighted, no scores, no nothing. Like I just bought them or composed them and haven't even started playing them yet. I am really angry. 😡😡 Also there are just too many ads. 👎🏻 Every ten seconds after I finish a song, a stupid ad pops up about some coloring book or food game and it's really annoying. 😤 Also I really hate how the majority of everyone's favorite songs nowadays can't be played unless you have a VIP membership accessibility. It's ridiculous. I feel that VIP membership to play a song on Magic Piano should be banned, because you know, there are not very many VIP members in the world. I'm seriously thinking about deleting this app from my phone for permanent. I've not only had to deal with the troubles I stated above, but I've also had to deal with the app freezing up, songs I compose that won't let me publish no matter what I do, and Daily Challenge songs taking decades to load and then refreshing the app only for it to crash every time I reopen it. It's getting really frustrating and I can't take it any longer. 🚫.@miggysbiggestfanVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Good but...I really do enjoy using this app, i use it all the time but, all of the best songs are for VIPs, and to join the VIPs you have to pay a lot of money! I almost think that it is to much money. I think that there are just so many things that members cam do and the others cant! I keep on getting notifications telling me about new songs so then I go on the app and then I go to pay for that app but then guess what, it a VIP song! So I am just saying maybe you should tone it down with all of the VIP songs!.Emily JBVersion: 6.2.1

✓ BrookyTubeIdk how to play piano so I thought this app would teach me how but it didint! It’s a waste of time if you want to learn how to play piano! 1 star!.AshnoahVersion: 8.5.3

✓ Too many AdsThere is an ad before and after you play any song and it’s absurd. Plus the fact that most songs you need to use smoola, which the easiest way to get them is through ads. I try to play offline just to avoid the ads but then only like 1/3 of my songs show up in my list that I can play offline while the others need to be online to play. Love the game but the ads is just ridiculous..Olimmilo'sVersion: 8.5.9

✓ Demonstrates The Worst Of iOSThis app is super entertaining for the first hour and then you need to either IAP for more in-game currency or sign up for all sorts of offers or watch ads. Basically this App has been created to harvest and con you into these sign-ups. What could be a great revolution in social gaming is ruined by the chase of the in game currency and hard sell to sign up for these dubious offers. Install and have a short bit of fun if you must... But my advice is to avoid this app or uninstall - especially if you are a parent concerned about the data consumption of the constant ads and videos... NOT IMPRESSED..Heath & HeatherVersion: 4.0.11

✓ I got free coins and bought songs but now i don’t have the songs that i go with the coinsPls let me have my songs back.Peyton harmoniVersion: 8.5.3

✓ $mule.. it’s all about the $$$I loved this game for a long time but over the last year or more the ads are ridiculous and every time before you start a song .. there’s an ad.. finish a song... another ad... select another song.. an ad.. and on and on. I paid for a one week trial and didn’t realize it continued charging me. I originally signed up for 7.99 a month only to find out a couple months later they were billing me 2.99 a week! Being able to compose songs was a cool idea until I finished a level and earned 200 coins... purchased a newer song for 75 coins that was nothing more than a few taps and that was it. I didn’t get the song I paid for and that’s happened many of times. When someone submits a composure I think someone at the company should review it first before putting it out there for people to waste their money. Lastly... I have maxed out on levels so all the songs I rack points up on are of no use since the app is now not even giving me credit so unless I want to pay for VIP I have no way to earn what little reward you get for completing a level. What started out as my absolute favorite game is now nothing more than a money sucker and it doesn’t appear that it’ll improve. Great game gone to the deleted aps of my account! They aren’t getting anymore of my money!.Samiam1023Version: 8.3.3

✓ Good gameIt’s a good game and all,but I wish we dident have to exchange “smoolas” for songs, dident have to watch ads for free songs a.Rhy07Version: 8.3.5

✓ Times can changeBack in the day, this game was the top tire of apps, a game with a special place, in my heart- so special I bought blooming, vip! I decided; “it’s been a long time that I’ve played magic piano- I’ll download it and play again!” Then as the game was installing, I saw the comments. They said things like “this game is a waste of money!” Or “why did I buy this trash?” I was thinking, that they were being stupid or something. Then I tried out some of the songs on the main menu. They’ve changed since then, and I don’t like them anymore so I tried typing in some famous songs into the songbook. So I did that, and all of them were brilliantly composed! (GG players) so I did think all the other commenters were being idiots. Then, I realised that I didn’t have a lot of coins, so I went to the good old, “ways to get coins” menu, and clicked video. As far as I remember I’d always do the same back then- anyway. I watched about 15 videos, thinking “finally, I have enough!” So I got back to the songbook when I realised I didn’t have enough. So I get it. Errors happen- but this went to far. I went back to get more coins, when it wouldn’t even let me watch the ad/video for coins. After about 5 minutes of “intense” clicking, it finally went on an ad. I watched it- BUT IT STILL GIVES ME NO COINS!!! C’mon Smule, your better than this.Mike--:)Version: 8.4.3

✓ There are SOME glitchesI absolutely love it but whenever I play I like me better by Lauv on hard mode every time i use the for fingers it goes on pause and it gets really frustrating but other than that it’s really good but there’s one more thing why make such a variety of songs that you need to you smoola or whatever it’s called and V.I.P for when you could just have it all from the start my mom was right I was ALL for the MONEY that’s why I don’t like games that make the pop-up ads and say get V.I.P for 6 months or 12 months or 3 months or $45 and so and so and so which is why I gave it a 3 star and another reason is because it’s that amazing it’s just like the other apps great game-maker wannabes and that’s all I have to say I mean write.MiaclarasiennaandmeVersion: 8.3.5

✓ 😉 amazing 😉 but.........😭😭😭😭🤞💩Hi guys this game is really fun and passes time considering it's the six weeks holiday 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉but there are points that are 💩things like there are too many adds and I'm not saying on or two I'm saying one after every single song:(. Another flaw is the fact you can't play half of the songs you have to save up coins or buy the coins😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭I'm disappointed because the songs you can play are songs I haven't heard of the only one I've heard of is twinkle twinkle little star which is rubbish for a twelve year old. It's ok apart from those two things..Disappointed 😖😖😱😱Version: 8.3.3

✓ Stop linking my accountThis is the 3rd time you did this to me. Stop linking this app with your sing app! I had so many songs unlocked on my other account now they are all gone!!!! Now I have that stupid twinkle twinkle star bull crap! And I have to restart! This same thing happened a few months a go and it also happened last year. stop.. Linking... The. ACCOUNTS!!! I literally watched so many stupid ads to get all the songs I wanted! And I completed so many achievements! BUT GUESS WHAT!! THEY ARE ALL GONE!! You need to do something about this, because this is ridiculous! Alone, I spent like 100 minutes to get all the songs I had! I had 87 freaking songs from using the smola from advertisements! All gone... The achievements, all gone.... I didn't mind it as bad the past 2 times because I didn't have many songs.. But this time really upsets me. Do something about it. And you know what else???? I tried to get the other account back, but when I tried it said it was linked to another account and I couldn't get it back.... Change that otherwise I'm deleting it..Darkiplier1Version: 8.5.5

✓ DisappointedI had this a long time ago as first ree thrn premium . I had fun but got a bit too busy so cancel it. This time I’m still busy but have a little more told so I thought I would get the ‘free with advents version ‘ as I wasn’t going to use it much. So sad find I t’s absolutely impossible to use now! I have just deleted the app 30 monies after downloading! There is an advert after every song that not only lasts an age but is impossible. I kept waiting for the x as usual on add. - but nothing . If you try everything that looks halfway like an exit and it tries to load it the advertised game - it’s infuriating . I restarted the app three times and sat through three adverts ( but I could at least close the start up ones )But each time ended up with an advert after one song that i couldn’t close no matter how long I waited or what I did , I am paying the same amount if money this app is asking , for industry standard art tools- i am just not going to shell out almost £10 on a app that’s so old and so basic process just because they have made the freebie unusable ! Bye bye app . Very disappointed !.HagwithaBagVersion: 8.5.5

✓ >:(Alright, so I remembered this app from when I was about 3 years old. My brother had it on his tablet, so I would always ask to play it. Hey, at least back then it was good! But now it’s gone REALLY down hill. There’s an ad every time I finish a song. Then when I go to play a different song, there’s another ad! It’s super annoying when I go to play songs! Also, there is a glitch. When I go to get free Smoola by watching an ad, it doesn’t make the count go up! If there’s a demo after the ad it doesn’t go up, but if there is no demo it will go up. So I basically waste 5 minutes trying to get some more Smoola by watching ads. So maybe try to get the ads WITHOUT demos. Because every single ad I get, there’s always a demo. That’s fine after playing a song, but not when I get free Smoola. It’s really annoying wasting my time which I could spend on better things watching ads. So try to fix this glitch please! Other than that, it’s still kinda good. You can still get songs, and I love composing my own songs, so it’s kinda good. Thank you for reading..Micraftisdabest:)Version: 8.4.3

✓ Really fun but needs fixingI really enjoy playing this game.I have for a long time. But oh god this game has probably the most irritating bug in any mobile game. The majority of songs are “unplayable” due to lack of connection, even though I am connected to the internet. What’s even more absurd is that i can still open these songs in the editor and publish them myself, and then they work! The game is locking me out of songs for no good reason. This NEEDS fixing. While there is a work around, its time consuming and very irritating. This isnt the only thing that needs fixing. If there is a large intentional gap between notes in a chart, and you wait the appropriate amount of time before playing the next note, it counts as a miss for waiting too long. Even the “learn this song” feature that plays the song for you will wait the long amount of time. But when you do it yourself, it counts as a miss. These issues along with ads after EVERY SINGLE SONG keep this from being 5 stars. And seeing as the game was last updated 9 months ago, I don’t think it will be updated again..Dienomite55Version: 8.5.5

✓ Okay.It’s very fun to play! But the only thing this bothers me is that, when I do 4 fingers at I he bottom, IT ALWAYS shows me me the exit, restart whatever button. I try do it in other places but, it still keeps popping up. SERIOUSLY, this is bothering me, I can’t even complete one hard stage in the song Happier. And also may occur in other songs. Also when I watch a video to get free coins, I watch the video and come back receiving no coins. Please fix this..ML_ DOGVersion: 8.3.5

✓ Not the app I rememberI remember playing this when I was a kid and I loved it but greed has ruined the app completely. I re-downloaded it recently and was offered a free trial. Everything was great, the songs were good, you could find basically any song you want and there was no ads with the free trial. After the trial ended all the songs I’d played and added to my songbook I now had to pay for with coins which are ridiculously hard to get. But I thought I’d give it a chance anyway and try to earn some so I decided to try and lvl up by playing the “free” songs but after clicking on it I had to watch an advert, then I played the song which of course I didn’t know any of the free songs as they weren’t well known ones and after that I got another advert. It’s hardly playable and there’s more ads than gameplay. I even thought about paying for vip but that’s ridiculously expensive for a game!.Millie.E.CollinsVersion: 8.5.5

✓ VIP isn’t worth the moneyI have been using this app for, years probably. And I’ve loved it. Long story short I have a chronic illness and wanted access to more songs so I’d be occupied so I paid for the monthly membership. Which was great because I had access to so many songs and I loved that. But its expensive and I have medical bills to pay for. So I had to cancel my subscription. And since all the songs I had played were on ‘my song’ list i assumed I’d be able to keep playing them since I paid for the vip and now they were on my song list. But nope. I cannot play a single song on my song list now even though they are their, i cannot access them. And their is no way I am now going to pay $5 a week which is $20 a month to play those songs. It was $13 a month when I got my vip membership and now its $20. That’s insane. I wouldn’t be so mad if I still had access to the songs on my list but I don’t so what’s the point of me even playing now? Their is no point. Their aren’t enough free songs to play, a majority of them now require the membership. So before hand I would have rated 5 stars but now its probably not even worth 2 stars..DorkBookVersion: 8.3.5

✓ Great game but...I have just proceded to watch 5 ads in hope to get smoola for a new song but in the end I wasn’t rewarded a single smoola, is this a glitch? I love this game but this just makes it incredibly difficult and not fun to play.Why smoola why?Version: 8.5.3

✓ BugCan’t play 3/4 notes anymore the game just glitch and says that I tap with too many fingers ;-; I’m on iPhone XR.Sablol03Version: 8.5.3

✓ Its fun but not...Ive had the game for about 7 or 8 years and have had a lot of fun with it. but its just kinda lost its spark. i mean ads are ducked up you HAVE to dupe a song if u want it and it hasn't been updated in i think 4 or 5 years. Now do note the last time i wrote a review they fixed ( for about 2 months anyways) one of the major problems i rambled about in that review. buuuuut here i am... again 1) you can’t get any in game currency unless you buy it. end of story. you can waste your time watching ads but it will give you nothing this means the only my way to get a song and stay interested is to dupe it. which is technically stealing 2) all songs are duped. on my pricing i’ve got almost 130 songs. i only made about 4 of them. but you have to do this to be able to use the app. ( for those who don’t know his to avoid ads just look up free song magic piano on yt) overall id say that ads need to not be the main way to get in game currency. there is a daily competition where you can get double points for about 24 hours. your score should give you points. whenever you play a song could give you points. they just need to revamp it or its gonna die. i know technically it already is but i see a few pol here like me who dont want to get rid of it but at some point or another will when problems keep arising. smule if you are reading this stop focusing on sing and pay a little attention to us please.Bubblez110123Version: 8.4.5

✓ Smule, the fallI remember this game, back when I was young, I used to have a lot of fun, downloading loads of free songs and playing them until perfection, there was a lot of free songs back then. I don’t have my old iPad with loads of songs on it, but now I have a new one, I can go back to playing, right? Wrong. I decided to visit this childhood toy, and realised, it’s changed, a lot. Now, most of the songs that used to be free you now have to purchase, and you are absolutely bombarded with bombs the minute you get in. This used to be fun, but now? I won’t recommend to anyone..Dunno ashcqnwxuavsVersion: 8.3.5

✓ Limited songsI love the game but can’t afford VIP, so I have 5 sub-par free songs and 6-7 really good ones I bought with in game money from watching adds and achievements, unfortunately the adds no longer work, like, i watch the add but it doesn’t give me money, and the achievements are impossible and give you practically nothing. So I’m stuck playing the same songs over and over, a better way to do it would be to give players a small amount of coins for every song they do or if they get all perfects or something. Or maybe if you could go back and play the daily song whenever after completing it on the day since this would encourage people to always play the daily song. Love the game anyway but it would be nice -A Human.TheLoverOfHugsVersion: 8.4.1

✓ RipoffNote: do not buy any music. I bought tracks and now cannot access them: download failure. Even the tracks created by the platform, you cannot access them after a period of time! Boycott this app!.JPMCA001Version: 8.5.5

✓ It’s okayThis app is not the worst and it does allow you to get one free song that you would usually have to pay for as a reward and you can get other songs for free and you get smule coins so you can save them up and buy a song. However this app takes way to long to load. Just now I waited over 8 minutes and it didn’t load..Is this a valid nickname??Version: 8.3.9

✓ Horrible ads!I’ve always enjoyed playing magic piano. Over the years, I’ve had a membership and at other times did not. Currently, I don’t feel I play it enough to justify paying. With that being said, I have noticed some things that make this app not very enjoyable. 1. It takes FOREVER to earn smule coins. Which makes the app not much fun because I feel like I get to play the same songs over and over again. Not cool and not challenging. 2. Under “my songs” I have a bunch of songs which I have either bought or had while having a membership. At this point without clicking on each one there is no way to tell if I’m able to play it or if I need more smule. Confusing. 3. This is the most annoying of all. The ads that I see (which I do feel there are too many of) are not ones that I wish for my kids to see. There are ones that show a doll that is getting beat up and bloodied and tells you you “kick it’s a**” and that this will “relieve your stress”, really?! Not the message I want to send. There are others I have seen that are similar, zombies I believe, and there is a lot of blood. I don’t expect or desire to see these ads, ever, yet alone, over and over again. That needs to be changed or I will have to delete this once great app..MefensVersion: 8.3.3

✓ I’m so annoyedSo I got the game again for some fun and realised I could get the free trial, so I did, after getting it tho I couldn’t find a way to cancel the deal in game. I deleted it thinking it would cancel my free trial membership.. but it didn’t and i lost frickin $30, the details about getting a membership and how to cancel are so unclear and you can’t find them anywhere within the game, because of this I lost $30 and I don’t think I’ll ever be playing the game again cos this is so dumb, you have to go into ur Apple ID acc and then subscriptions to cancel it- this was very unclear and perhaps done on purpose to get some extra money. Not happy..Tilki*Version: 8.4.5

✓ WTH HAPPENED!I was playing a song but it turned off and went on my home screen so I went back on the game but it didn’t work it just stayed on the start bit with the picture of the piano that said smule at the top 😭 this is so sad bc I love this game but it just wouldn’t work please fix this. Also I watched a video for 5 smoola 4 times and all times it just said loading and then I had my original amount of smoola at the start please fix this as well THANKS IF YOU DO! XOXO P.S Your games are honestly amazing and I would've rated this 5 stars but I was pretty upset about this! x.Heyyyyyy xxVersion: 8.3.9

✓ PLEASE READ THIS!First of all I do love the game, it is really fun, but once you reach about level 8 it gets harder to level up, meaning you can't earn as much smoola and for most songs you need 25 smoola to unlock it so you have to just keep playing the same songs over again to level up. I understand where your coming from having to have smoola to unlock songs, I'm not saying take it away, but in the next update maybe either make it easier to earn smoola or you could introduce having to watch an add then getting some free. I think that would work. Over all I think it's a great game, and if you love to play piano like I do, you should definitely download it..Pearl the hamster!!!!!!🐹🐹Version: 8.3.5

✓ Game is dead to the developers…..I’ve been playing Magic Piano for about 10 years. It’s good at what it does, and new users will likely enjoy it for some time. However. I’ve made numerous attempts to get a meaningful reply from customer support and the developers, and never received more than a thanks we’ll forward your concerns. The single most bothersome thing about it is the composer mode. Sure, this allows for people (some extraordinarily good at it) to add songs to the game. Seems great. Here’s the problem…. If I spend untold hours of my time going through the painstaking process of placing hundreds of individual notes, I get nothing in return but ratings from other users. Those other users are spending in game currency to play the song you put on there. It’s not free. The developers are further profiting from this practice. Also, anyone can modify and upload it as their own with minimal changes. This has created sometimes hundreds of duplicate or near duplicate copies of someone’s very hard work. I’ve seen numerous prolific “composers” stop adding new music, or, deleting their accounts and originals altogether. My last unanswered email to the developers referenced all of this, including that I would no longer be financially supporting the app with a subscription. So, to the public it goes..Daveandy1Version: 8.5.5

✓ This game SUCKSWhoever made this should get their head bashed open.Joe mama 😹Version: 8.5.5

✓ AdsIt's good n all but there are too many ads.Hajcj dchenzVersion: 8.5.5

✓ Major Problem (developers please fix)At first I really loved this game but lately I have been having a huge problem with it. If you own this game and only have a few songs you won’t see this problem as much but I own around 20 songs. Not all of the songs I have bought, won, or chosen from “free songs” show up in “my songs” many of them are still in free songs and some of them don’t show up anywhere. Now that is a problem but wait there is an even bigger one. Some times a song that I own doesn’t show up in “my songs” or in “free songs” it shows up in “suggested songs” or in “editor’s choice” (even when I search my songs this happens) it says I own it and the stars are even fulled in. Well I go to click on it because obviously I have payed for that song and I want to play it but it says that I am blank many smoolas short like I have to buy it again. WHAT? I ALREADY PAYED FOR IT ONCE I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AGAIN? This is really frustrating. If it wasn’t for this major problem I would give this app five or four stars if it didn’t have this problem, it is really fun and I love playing the songs. But please fix this major problem I want my songs back..Pink whale dolphinVersion: 8.4.1

✓ Too many Ads now! Poor song selectionI'm finally irritated enough to write this review. This use to be my favorite app, hands down. So fun and included challenges and current music. However, now there are so many ad disruptions. Playing a new tune, first an ad....playing a song you have already paid for, first an ad.... playing a free song made by another user, first an ad. It's ridiculous. Now, I barely play it, unless I have time and patience to sit through five ads in less than ten minutes. Total sell out move, btw Smule. I wouldn't mind buying it, but a monthly fee is charged with an auto subscription, or you have to sign up for a slippery trial offer. Not a good deal. Also, there use to be new songs made by Smule that were free. Now, it's the same songs over and over made by different users-Chasing Cars, Gravity Falls Theme, Hokage's Death, Hallelujah, What a Wonderful World.....seriously! It's been those songs for at least a year now. Change it up a bit and I don't mean different Smule user composers. That comes off pretty cheap and makes me wonder what I would get from allowing you to charge my card every month if I signed up..AshlishVersion: 8.3.3

✓ WHAT THE HECK SMULESo I get you guys are a big app now, and I have had Magic Piano since it first came out, years ago. I used it when there was only basic songs like Twinkle Twinkle little Star. I’ve kept it all these years, and never have I gotten so many ads. I have over 150 songs, do you know how many Ads I had to watch? Plus free songs. I also did TapJoy stuff, and never once got my Smula (should be almost 6800 since I did ones you actually had to pay for also) I’ve reported it and then was told it was “Lost” but it said I had done it. Of course I got a little mad. Yet, I still have the app. How am I re-payed? ADS AFTER EVERY SONG! I like to play the songs but it’s annoying when a ad comes in every two seconds. As before I can play to ad after I play then repeat. It’s used to be reasonable, 1 ad after every 3-4 songs. Sometimes 5 if you watched a Smula ad. Don’t you guys already have Millions just from all of your apps combined? You guys are getting greedy. Also the VIP thing. Why are all the good songs VIP? The daily challenges used to be VIP songs, which was cool. But now it’s songs you can go and buy. Tired of it smule. I’ll keep the game and I wish to have my 6800 Smula, but I’m not going to force it. And PLEASE KEEP THE ADS ON A DOWN LOW!.I'm a ArtistVersion: 8.3.3

✓ No longer worth my time; TRASHI never spend the time to review, however my disappointment in the evolution of this game pushed me to do so. I first played magic piano around 6-7 years ago and I absolutely loved it. There were plenty of accessible songs and I would earn a nice classical piece every time I leveled up. There were plenty of songs to choose from and I did not mind spending hard earned coins to gain popular songs like Mario’s theme song and Beethoven Sonatas. The amount of ads was reasonable and felt like an acceptable exchange for the playtime they provided. Now it is trash. As others have commented, there are ads before and after playing one song (most of the time). You get free songs for leveling up much less frequently and when you do they are not very desirable (I.e very short happy birthday). Even with all that ad watching, there are only 8 free songs, and most songs are for VIP members only. I loved this game for the classical music and there is barely access to any classical pieces for free anymore. I am extremely disappointed with the direction of this company. I do not recommend their products. And hope others will take notice and do the same. I hope they change for the better after seeing the many complaints here..NiniromanVersion: 8.3.5

✓ Very good, but some flaws.Your game is very good and I honestly think it could be quite more famous. But there are some flaws... take the amount of ads for example... every time you finish a song, ad. Whenever you want to play a song in the free song list, and I quote,”your free content will be available after this message!” And then an ad. I feel like you just went a little overboard with the ads. And second of all MEMBERSHIPS. People already know that memberships are becoming a problem. They attract you into buying them, they give you a free trial, and they make it so almost everything is membership only. I counted that vip only song list in the menu. Over (drumroll please) 700 SONGS. You might wanna check how much you do to non-members. Finally, this isn’t too much of a complaint but just a thing to tell you. You’re age rating is 4+ right? Well.... Whenever I have to rack up smoola I watch ads and one of them has been catching my eye. You might wanna check your advertising because one of the ads legit has 18+ in the corner and the end of the ad even says,” adult game for adult emotions.” But so yeah just check your ads every so often and I feel like that this game could be much better.TrtplayerVersion: 8.3.5

✓ It’s great but.....The app itself is AMAZING!! But it’s just a few things that let it down. First, you get a bunch of ads. Game company’s need to learn that people HATE when they want to do something, but it is RUINED by ads. Secondly, you need to make more choices with free songs. There is EIGHT! LITERALLY EIGHT!!!! There needs to be more choices because you only get 1 of the coins when you start a new level. And I think it should be 5 or 10, depending on which level you are now on. For example, you get six coins for level 6! That would be more simple! Please respond if you see this, AND MAKE THE CHANGES I SUGGESTED STRAIGHT AWAY!!!!'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.Ab1ga1l101Version: 8.3.5

✓ Why it is now bad.Don’t get me wrong. It used to be good. However now, firstly you get advertisements after basically every action. You play a song, once you’re done; advertisement for all three levels of difficulty. You play a free song; it’s an advertisement before and after you play it for all three levels of difficulty. Secondly, you don’t get coins for anything other than levelling up and achievements. Even then, you get only one or two. You SHOULD be able to use the video thing, however that doesn’t work for me no matter how many times I try. I watch the video, the circle icon shows up, then it shows me the same amount I had before. Lastly, the actual game is broken. Once you’ve played it once, when you leave the game, you can’t get back on it. And when you delete the game, unless you’ve made an account, all your hard work is wasted. Even if you have an account, you should not have to delete the game every time you want to go on it. Either fix these or give a logical explanation on why these are positive things that haven’t been removed for that reason..Thebestzest of the westVersion: 8.4.1

✓ OutrageousWhat a waste of time! The amount of advertisements I have to watch in this game is atrocious! I would click on a song, and almost instantly a 30 second ad pops up. I watched a few ads for ‘free game money’ (five ‘smoolas’ an ad), and remained with the same amount of money. Please fix this as is is very frustrating and annoying. The songs also cost WAY TO MUCH money. $25 - $75 for a song? Come on! It’s not easy to get more money, so how are you to afford songs you like? All the songs I’m in to are way too expensive, and because I can’t watch the advertisements, I can’t get money as fast. I am very confused and angry with this, please fix the problem..CookieKim_06™Version: 8.3.5

✓ Great if you love adsGreat skills game & the variety of shorts/free play rotation was quite good before recent updates. Don’t know how many songs there are in the ‘library’. But it was so good to play I got friends to get it too! Sometimes the patterns don’t match up with the audio and it’s unclear if you’re supposed to tap when the patterns are on the line or have passed the line, but that could be those composed by others? There’s categories but there are ineffective filters (for example - just have to scroll through everything; can’t find a list of ‘purchased’ songs; can’t remove songs in languages I can’t read from the song selections). We considered buying because there are waaaaaay too many ads (2-3 beginning and end of every song) and even if you just reselect a song you have to watch the ads all over again. Just can’t justify the heavy slug in the wallet for that. More likely to delete & look elsewhere..MushroomringVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Not with it TBHThis game has a good concept but executed poorly. Now don’t get me wrong the way the game plays is good and makes you feel like a musical god, but the sheer amount of ads you are subjected to makes you want to tear you’r hair out. I usually don’t write reviews but I thought I’d express my disappointment with this app. I just wish not all the apps on the App Store are driven by financial gain. I guess though on the other hand you could say that they have clearly put quite a lot of effort into the production of the game and for them to not to make any profit would be too much to ask for. It just becomes unplayable at some point. If you want profit make people pay for the game instead of VIP..HavcjavxbaxbajxbjabxbsVersion: 8.3.5

✓ TerribleHad no idea I was being charged this money.CazyanVersion: 8.3.5

✓ AD AND BUG/GLITCH INFESTED APP!!Used to like the game but maybe if they added an instant replay feature pianist can see where they might have messed up, and also there’s a bug or glitch that makes the songs I purchased with smolda coins via search, the only songs that show up in the “my songs” section is the songs that the app created. It’s really annoying when I can’t play the songs I spent a long time watching ads to get. And also sometimes I sit through a 30-50 second ad and I don’t even get the coins for it, um..... WHATTTTT?!?!?!? I used to really like this game. I played it for hours without any ads and it was fun and enjoyable and all bugs were squashed, but now we have ads around every corner, bug nests everywhere and ads with sexual content, um excuse me but (no offense intended to Smule) who do you think you are?! It’s an app rated 4+ so there should be content that’s appropriate for 4+ aged people. UNACCEPTABLE!! How would you feel, developers of Smule, if your child was playing an app and encounters an ad containing sexual content? I would feel like a bad parent! And if more and more people feel the app makes them feel like bad parents, they’ll delete the app and you’ll loose money! Then what will you do? Just think about that..Alcrex0260Version: 8.3.3

✓ Fun gameWish there was more free so far.AngveVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Two problems1. Ads. They are so annoying. Even to play the songs I own there is an ad before and after. I used to be able to ignore them when I played this game all the time but now i just can't stand them. Please remove the ads. 2. Coins system. It is practically impossible to get new songs if they're not free. Levelling up takes a long time and you only get a few coins - barely enough to buy a song. Otherwise there is no other way to get coins other than watching ads in the offers section for ages. This game is amazing but these two things are what made me stop playing..Pussy cat lolVersion: 8.3.3

✓ 🙁😡👎☔️💔.EvchikenVersion: 8.3.3

✓ GreedyReminiscing on the old Magic Piano. Decided to download it again. Well, this most certainly changed! $15 fee really? If you decline. You have to pay for all the good songs you want to play. I deleted this so fast. I don’t recommend..J3’sVersion: 8.6.3

✓ Multitasking Gesture ProblemI love this game because it’s so fun to play and has a lot of good songs. However, there is one thing the drives me absolutely INSANE! The problem happens whenever I play a song on hard mode, typically when you choose this difficulty you have to play 4 finger notes. On an iPad there is a setting called “Multitasking Gestures” which allows you to switch in between apps using 4 or 5 fingers. So when this setting is on and you’re playing a hard song and try to hit a 4 finger note it pauses the song and tells you to turn off the feature -even if Smule is the only app you have opened! And this isn’t just a one time thing, every time I try to hit a 4 finger note the same warning appears, driving me crazy and ruining the song. I know I could just turn of the Multitasking Gesture in settings but I don’t want to have to turn it on and off every time I play the game. I really hope something is done about this problem because I cannot be the only one experiencing this!.Sugarush229Version: 8.6.3

✓ This game sucksToo many ads, songs are so hard to get, everything needs to be paid for. was hard when I played it as a kid and it’s still hard - overall boring. Some songs are also composed pretty badly as well.AftonbenedictVersion: 8.5.5

✓ It has stopped loadingI enjoy this game, find it very relaxing but for the past 2 months it comes up with the loading screen and that’s all it does :(.TheximummaVersion: 8.4.1

✓ It’s a great game, but...This game is awesome, but I have one problem. And that’s with composer, I’ve got the vip pass and with that, I’ve got so many songs mostly a few a songs and then the rest are copies, which is another problem on its own that I’m not going into, but like I was saying. Composer has a problem and that’s how many notes there are, I’m trying to compose a melody from the movie Surfs Up, called Legends and has 36 black notes 52 white notes as is for most songs I watch on YouTube, where is also I just copy what I compose since I’m not really good at piano and can’t tell where to put notes😅 but that’s getting off track, Smule piano only has 30 black notes and 43 white notes, please adjust this to have enough notes to actually play a song right..Newgate'sVersion: 8.5.5

✓ Ads ads and just adsI remember when this app had no ads at all but now in the new updates, more and more ads started to appear and it's starting to pee me off.Lucas CollinsVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Ads, ads and and more ads and annoying smoolaSoooo, first of all sorry for this review being soooo long but it has to be because there are heaps of faults with the game. Ok so here's the review...the whole concept of the game is great, I like the concept of the game a lot more than other piano games because in magic piano you can play thousands of different songs that are created by smule and other people so there’s a huge range of songs. But a horrible thing about this is the amount of ads! Every time you complete a song there’s an ad! Also the smoola situation is horrible! It takes ages, and loads of completed songs to earn ONE smoola and you need 25 smoola to get a new song. So it’s torturous to try to save up for a song so I am forced to watch ads for 5 smoola each which I guess wouldn’t be TOO bad... BUT HALF THE TIME I WATCH A FULL AD AMD IT DOESNT EVEN GIVE ME THE SMOOLA!!! This is so annoying because I waste my time watching ads for nothing! Could the developers PLEASE FIX THIS NOW!!! Another thing that happened recently was I brought a song with the extremely rare... SMOOLA and when I try to click on the song it says this content is unavailable and I also says that you need to download co tent and there is a connection error even though my WiFi is three bars!!! I SAVE UP PRECIOUS SMOOLA JUST TO GET SONGS THAT ARE UNPLAYABLE!!!!!!?? So all and all this game has way to many faults to be an enjoyable game!!! THERE ARE -WAY TOO MANY ADS!!! - AND THE SMOOLA SITUATION IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING!!! -AND SOME SONGS ARE UNPLAYABLE!!! This game would be sooo much better if the developers took the time to fix the issue with watching ads, put ads on way less frequently and fixed the unplayable song problem..PugslothninjaVersion: 8.4.1

✓ Good if you have moneyWhile the subscription isn’t a whole lot of money I don’t find this app worth paying a subscription for. There are better things to be spending money on regularly, and since I have this train of thought, I can’t play the game. I have no hope of ever progressing because I have maybe 6 free songs. I much prefer the old way where you paid for “smoolas” and bought songs you wanted that way. It meant I could do the occasional “irresponsible spend” instead of having to commit to a subscription. I also had more songs to choose from! I hope Smule eventually listen and become less greedy..Cr@zy K@tVersion: 8.4.1

✓ ScamI used to love this app, but now it’s just disappointing. I opened the app for the first time in about a year yesterday, and all of the thirty something songs I had ever purchased and played were gone. Even a song that I bought last night was gone by this morning. It’s pretty much impossible to get coins without purchasing them with real money, and I wasn’t going to spend that much time watching ads. Another horrible change that I’ve noticed is the increase in ads. A year ago, all of the songs in the free section used to actually be free. But now, you have to watch an ad before playing one. Even if you want to change the difficulty, you have to watch an ad. Ads never used to be apparent in the app unless you watched them for coins, but now they pop up after you play almost any song, even if you have actually purchased it. After reading a lot of reviews, I am positive that everything that is happening to me is not a unique glitch, and is probably a scam put into place by Smule so they can earn more money. Don’t waste your time trying to make good use of this app. It’s not worth it. There are plenty of other much better versions out there..CchhoolleeVersion: 8.3.5

✓ Problems 😒The game is good. It’s fun. Sorta. I’m on a phone and the tiles are to small plus when I tap with 2/3/4 fingers it makes me tap with 1/2/3 fingers instead and it’s really annoying please make the tiles bigger for iPhone users..ZapIsHavingANapVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Restricted!!I loved this game like 3 or 4 years ago. To the point where I paid for the subscription for months on end. Money was tight so I stopped the subscription and so the ads started, which lead me to delete the app. I recently re-downloaded the app to give it another chance where I found that I couldn’t even play the songs that I had in the ‘my songs’ playlist, obviously because they must have been included in the subscription when I paid for it years ago. BUT if I remember right, you could still play these songs even after the subscription was cancelled back before all these updates. Smule just seems to be a money grabbing developer now which is a shame, this app was great 🙄.Shellybob-Version: 8.3.9

✓ Monthly subscription warningI singed up for the ‘free’ monthly subscription, i couldn’t find any information on later payments, so i expected that it was just a trial for one month. I found i didn’t enjoy the game, and deleted it. Two months later, my iTunes balance was $0.06. It turns out that you have to cancel the subscription, even if it is in the one month trial to stop smile from taking money straight from you iTunes account..Levi TaylorVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Bubye songs.It’s been years since I played Smule magic piano and I boot it yup to see… 30 songs. A large majority of my song list wiped from existence. I don’t know for what reasons a song may be removed, maybe copyright or the user leaves or what, but you really can’t leave them in peoples libraries? I watched so many ads to play these songs, coming on daily to get every free song (watching ads before and after every one) and grinding up enough coins to buy others. Now I have only a few left, and none of them my favourites. I’m sorry Violin Concerto In E Major but I suppose I will never be getting 3 stars on your hard difficulty..Abcdefg... ReviewVersion: 8.5.5

✓ Good game...needs improvementI have been playing smule piano for a long time on and off, and I have realize the pros and cons of the game. Here are the pros... PROS: 1. Good music selection 2. Different piano sounds 3. Daily challenges + rewards For the most part smule has done a good job creating music and allowing others to do so too, but here are the cons..... CONS: 1. When let’s say you have an account and make a song inspired by another person’s song, you should be allowed to play it without having to buy it with smule coins, which brings me to the next con 2. There should be more opportunities to get smule coins then leveling up (which only gives you like 2 coins). When there are songs that cost 25 coins each, you should have more options to get coins than just watching the same video over and over again for 5 coins 3. Sometimes when I get in to the app (on iPhone and iPad) it just stops at the smule logo and I have to tap out and try it again. 4. And finally, when playing on an iPhone, it is sometimes hard to keep up on the singing piano mode because the 4 notes are hard to press. This meet mean I’m not the best digital piano player but I think amateur will understand Overall smule piano is a great game but it needs some improvements. And know that it was hard for me to come up with pros. And one last thing, can smule please change the singing on the ads for smule singing because man, they are so out of tune.😒🙏🏻.MashingpotatoV22Version: 8.4.1

✓ AdsI love the concept of how you play the music but there is only 1 problem. The ADS!!! Guys I am not even exaggerating or anything. There it literally a ad before you play a song, and after you play a song every time. So for every song you play you must watch 2 ads. Like not even games that aren’t popular try to fit in so many ads. How much money do you guys want to make. Nobody likes this game or app (whatever you wanna class it as) because of the ads. I really love this game but could you just go lighter on ads. I am actually uninstalling the game just because of the ads. If it wasn’t for the ads I would be playing this 24 7. Thanks hope this helped you guys thinking of downloading.StefanshutupTTVVersion: 8.4.1

✓ Too many adsIt's a fun game but the amount of ads ruins the whole thing! You need to watch an ad before AND after every song and it's so annoying..EhdhdhddVersion: 8.5.5

✓ Over reliance on VIPTo much reliance on VIP passes but still fun for little bit.JUDDYLICIOUSVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Could be better...So I remember getting this app back when i was like 5-6 thinking that it would be fun, and it was! I wasn't that good so I just used practice mode to play the songs. I deleted the app because I got Minecraft or something. I got this back because I was really bored and was feeling nostalgic. I have enjoyed it so far and have even published some songs i made. I have 2 problems. 1) Smoola. Everyone is complaining. But it makes sense! You get 1 Smoola per level and only some from achievements. Yet, songs cost 25 or even 75 to play just to get around 450 xp which isn't even a sixth of the xp in 1 level. "Watch an ad for 5" only 1/3 of the time does that work and its not reliable. Could be better like making songs only 15 or making levels give 2-3 Smoola 2) Composer. To be honest you did a pretty good job! Sadly, there are some limits. First lets start with the key signiture. No one uses it. All you do is switch it to Chromatic just to get sharps and flats. Secondly, time signature freedom is nonexistent. If you made it so that the measures were more clear and maybe even show some of the notes in sheet music form it would be easier to use. Thanks for reading. Have fun! (Also the reply bots on some of the reviews DO NOT HELP).ItzWafflezTimeVersion: 8.5.5

✓ StupidCan only play some songs like once or twice and there are constant ads. cant turn off wifi or anything otherwise you cant play any songs… so silly.ImanoonetoanybodyVersion: 8.5.3

✓ App not working today.App not working for me today. I pay monthly for it. But today there were adds and I waa asked to pay for the music with yokels. Please fix this all so I can play other songs as usual with out adds. Etc.Wen aVersion: 8.4.5

✓ Re edited songs are annoyingI’ve had this app for a year or so but I have found one issue with it. I don’t have any vip or anything but I saved up and bought a song with the smule currency and I had it for supposedly forever. However it disappeared from ‘my songs’ and I couldn’t find it. Then had I only realised that the person who wrote had re edited and I have to buy it AGAIN. 😕 Please be aware that after you buy a song from someone, re editing can cause the song to be lost Fix it 🙏🏻.Humpty DumplingVersion: 8.3.5

✓ Problem : Too many ads!It’s not a good game, but a fine or bad one. I enjoy playing the songs but there are so many ads. Every time, after I play a song, I get an ad. They are really annoying and some of them are inappropriate. Kids play this game, you know? And I’m not paying actual money to remove them. I don’t recommend spending any money on this game at all. It’s just a game, and it’s worse if you need to watch an ad after every frickin song you play. Smules’ going to lose players because of ads. 3.4/10. Don’t download..Starcollector0921Version: 8.6.3

✓ Great app, but..This app is truly amazing! So much fun and occupying, very easy and fun, and there are so many different songs to play. However, I sincerely wish that we did not have to watch so many ads. It gets annoying very fast, and it makes me not want to play. Another problem I have with this game is that you have to pay a lot of smoola for just one song. The songs get up to 75 smoola currently, and to get free smoola, you need to do things that some people can’t actually do. For example, you can connect to Facebook, which some people are unable to do because they don’t have Facebook. And there are a lot of children playing this game as well that are not allowed to have certain social media. Another thing is you can watch a 23 second ad for just 5 smoola. Its not very fun when all you can do at one point is watch ads for smoola and play all the free songs. (Which, in my opinion, are ever very fun.) This app would be absolutely amazing if we could do some easier things to get smoola..GohrikatVersion: 8.4.3

✓ Fun, but tests your patienceOkay, so don’t get me wrong; the premise of this game is fun, as is the actual game play - simple enough, but entertaining. The only thing that ruins (and by ruins, I mean severely reduces the playability and entertainment) this game is how many ads there are. I can understand a few ads here and there, but when you’re forced to watch a 15-30 second twice advertisement every time you play a song, it really takes away from the quality of the game. Were the ads less frequent, I would definitely have given this app a higher rating. All the same, mechanics and level of challenge remains fun and enjoyable - just cut back on the commercial greed a little..Xavier53200Version: 8.3.7

✓ It’s ok igFun but there’s so many ads and having to buy songs is really irritating.I have nothing to say.Version: 8.5.3

✓ Ehh.There’s too many adds and plus the pink notes literally ruin certain songs..CatcufflingsVersion: 8.5.3

✓ Needs improvements!!!Love this game but it’s basically unplayable unless you pay for it because it’s just so crammed with ads! Before and after every song there’s a 20-30 second ad, sometimes two and it’s so annoying. Other than that the game is almost enjoyable. The most fun I’ve had with this game was when I got a free trial of the VIP mode and could play any song I wanted, because of this I just bought a week of VIP and now it’s saying it can’t download any songs because of internet connection but my connection is fine and works on everything else. Please fix this, and also lower the amount of ads. Maybe just 1 before your first song and then 1-2 ads after every 2-4 songs you play.KraphtousVersion: 8.4.5

✓ I have mixed feelings about this.Magic Piano by Smule. The first thing everyone probably thinks when they see THAT title is “wow, piano app!” When they look into it, “This app is awesome!” The minute you go through tutorial, ‘BUY OUR ALL ACCESS PASS TO GET ALL SONGS!” Seriously sometimes this app is a joke. I get ads are important to earn money but a mountain of ads is just unfair. Hands down this app can be fun, but Smule seriously need to learn where to draw the line! Greed is slowly killing Magic Piano, and I seriously love this app but… the constant harassment of adverts and marketing is annoying and makes me feel almost uncomfortable. The app’s concept and ideas are awesome, that’s not a lie. And neither is the fact that brilliant composers are on the app, making beautiful fun songs daily! But seriously, Smule? Actually start consider your users… Because otherwise you’ll start to lose them..ThatgameartistVersion: 8.5.7

✓ Greed ruined it!I used to play this game daily and even upgraded to the VIP subscription. I haven't played for about two years and on rediscovery, I did plan to do exactly the same now- it's a great game and very therapeutic to a music lover like me. However, on navigating the updated app before I dived in, I decided to poke a little deeper. I realised that Smule has become so utterly riddled with ads that the joy has been sucked out of the game and across the brand. Free songs are simply NOT FREE if you have to sit through the same unskippable ads again and again just to play them (or replay them) and don't earn anything. Particularly if you are travelling or on data. Plus, subscription has gone up from £5.99 per month to around £20???? It seems to me that Smule has become motivated only by profit and greed, not any kind of customer satisfaction and thus, it has fallen into the same trap as many long-standing app providers- bullying customers into premium subscriptions through frustration at a constant barrage of interruptions. For this reason alone, I elect to abandon the brand and take my hard-earned money elsewhere to games providers with some sort of conscience! I suggest that anyone else who wishes to encourage platforms to clean up their greedy behaviour and improve the customer experience should do the same. Disgraceful! We should not be shoehorned into supporting these aggressive money-grabbing brands..PlatinumQVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Horrible money systemThis app is a cool idea and fun to play but they have created a horrible system for money. You basically can’t earn any coins at all. You can only buy new songs by paying for coins or doing online questionnaires? This game purposely has a broken money system and is unplayable.Diamond-/-aceVersion: 8.5.5

✓ Went downhill long agoWhen this app was released you could buy the currency for money. There were no ads unless you wanted to watch one to get some smoola. Every song could be bought and once you bought it it was yours. No ads. No subscription. You guys do realise the sub is over priced right? It costs more than basic Netflix. And what is it for? Some beatmaps and vocals provided by your user base. The songbook is unwieldy. Let it remember where you were between songs. Let us sort by number of times played. Show our top score. Let us favourite songs The scrolling accelerates way too much when there are gaps in the song, and then punishes players for playing consistently. The jams don’t have this problem..JuddMan03Version: 8.4.1

✓ AUTO CHARGESWow I hate this app.TzeeVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Isn’t Worth ItThe concept of this game is good, however there are too many ads and the game isn’t worth playing unless you are willing to spend a lot of money on it. The amount of ads in this game is unbearable. There is always an ad straight after I finish a song and before I start a song most of the time. I understand that there will be ads in a game unless you are willing to pay money to get rid of them, however, the amount of ads you see in this game is ridiculous. Also, to access most of the songs on this game, you need to pay for them, as there isn’t a large selection of free songs. It gets boring playing the same selection of songs over again. I’m not saying that the actual game is bad, because I really like the concept of it, the design, the controls etc., I just don’t like the amount of ads they put in and the amount of money they want you to pay for songs..Cloza16Version: 8.3.5

✓ So many ads :/Okay, so the game itself is great! it’s super fun and the graphics are super pretty, but there are DEFINITELY things i would improve. first, please PLEASE make more free songs, or make it quicker/easier to earn coins. second— AND THIS IS A BIG REASON I GAVE THIS 3 STARS— it is soooo annoying to have to watch an ad every freaking 3 seconds! every time i want to play anything, an ad pops up. every time i finish playing and want a reward, BOOM, an ad! please cut it down😭. it’s very annoying..XKarmaGirlxVersion: 8.5.3

✓ Money grabThis is a good concept, well executed, until it was covered in ads. On top of that, there is a subscription for $15 a week, that is far too much to pay for far too little. I feel like this is designed for young kids to some how get the subscription since their device is linked up with Apple Pay or something..HulahupaVersion: 8.5.5

✓ Too much publicityI do not recommand this game because you have to listening to pub every song (before and after) and can't access to the advance level without paying..Été indienVersion: 8.3.3

✓ Don’t even botherThe ads make this unplayable, constantly putting obnoxious video ads after each song. It doesn’t matter if they had gta v for free if you had a 10 second ad play every 30 seconds then nobody would play that. And the gameplay isn’t even worth it. It’s like a vague approximation of what playing the piano is and part of the challenge is trying to hit all the chord on a small phone and the terrible timing system, where the line has nothing to do with how to play the song properly, as you’d assume that you should play the note as it hits said line but it’s way off. A blind person would be better off playing this as there wouldn’t be a horrible system working against them and putting the whole song off time. This is the biggest example of the modern App Store casual predatory game, you can’t do anything without being shown dozens of ads, and when you first launch the game it tells you that you should buy the ‘vip’ to remove ads and other features. In short, unless you’re really stupid with money and buy their greedy aggressive vip scam then there’s absolutely no point in trying this app out..RadsfenVersion: 8.4.1

✓ I've had enough 😡😡I am absolutely fuming! I've have been playing this game for years now and over this time I have unlocked loads of songs using lots of smuolions. I go on today to play a song that I had bought not long ago, and when I press on it, it asks me to pay for a membership. As I look closer, it says I've lost access to the song - you only get limited time when you buy a song! I think this is absolutely outrageous!! Thing about how many people have spent money on smulonions just for it all to go to waste. Not the mention the insane amount of adverts and the inaccuracy on the actual songs 😡😥.UNICORNS🤓🦄Version: 8.5.5
