SongPop Classic - Music Trivia Reviews

I loved this game for years but it’s really ridiculous the amount of bots that are plotted against you in party play. I took screenshots of players in a round, final round scores, and then the total scores page. The bots scores rarely changed once they secured the top positions in the tournament and only changing to stay ahead of you or nudging you out of 1st place. WHY?!?!
I pay for VIP, I log in every single day for months on end, and I think it’s crappy you want more money for what? Nothing tangible so why spend more? And the new VIP is ridiculously expensive and I’m not really keen on paying that when in actuality there’s no real tangible prizes etc.
I understand your business is about making money but when it becomes greedy and shifts away from customer satisfaction and enjoyment that’s when I bow out. It’s super shady to have the bot players like you do. Forcing you to spend money or save up tickets and power ups etc for literally months on end to try and win a tournament but you can’t win against the bots anymore it’s gotten out of control.
I see all the complaints and tons of boards full on other apps etc.. maybe focus back on the customers that made you the money before you lose them..

I have to say I am rather disappointed to see the change in the point system that recently took place. Before if I guessed all 5 songs in my game I earned 17 points. Now I only earn 11. As a result it takes 9 players with full answers to earn 99 points. Before I was able to reach 100 points for every 6 games. Why would you change that? Please adjust that back. Or even better allow us to earn 20 points so I can knock out playlists quicker

And please please PLEASE fix the glitch that sometimes occurs when you select to view an add while collecting the monthly pass rewards. If I have to sit through another repetitive ad please make it so I can click the X every time. On occasion it will become a play button and there’s no way to get back to the game without closing/reopening.

Also if the 15 is seconds just let it be 15 seconds. Why penalize us with an additional 15 seconds because the company who made the ad can’t figure an additional 15 seconds of copy? That’s on them and you. Not us.

Don’t get me wrong, I had tons of fun playing this game. I got a few friends to even join in because I was having a great time. I joined with the purpose to play through David’s Vlogs party. I had been playing since it started. It should show you everyone that is playing everywhere. I was taking screenshots when I would pause to remember my place and score. As the end time started approaching, I was making sure I stayed in the top 3. I remained in 2nd place, or so I thought up until the very end when I got 200k points and got 1st. Again, that’s what I thought. The party was over and I couldn’t even screenshot my place, which according to what I saw was first place. I was excited because it’s actual prizes, and I had even paid into the game because from what I saw on my screen I was beating the other people. I had to wait. The “results” were in and the pictures of the people don’t even match what I have on my phone. I am definitely confused and give this 2 stars for the fun I had but 3 for the money I used to pain into false information. I even went on the actual site to see what they scored and I mean it just looks very fishy. Very disappointed.

I was playing on song pop when the ad for song pop 2 came up and I wanted to try it. I absolutely LOVE all the new features in the new one. Like: see the percentage until you can unlock more songs, party feature, and just the appearance overall. Love the original song pop app, but I love this one even more. Also gotta say the party feature is my favorite bc I love you can guess so many more songs, compete with more people, and play at any time. So much love for SongPopClassic. One complaint is when you would finish your turn you could see the songs put in an envelope and whoosh away, and now when I'm done all I see are ads. I liked seeing it whoosh away, I understand SongPopClassic needs to have ads, but could they show up every time I finish my turn because it's getting annoying af. Other than that, all time favorite app. Another complaint I have is now the mastery streak boost is only for those who have VIP. I had almost gotten all five and had to lose it bc I didn’t have VIP. So I just think the boost shouldn’t be restricted to only VIPs

It’s fun to play, fun to listen to all types of music especially your favorites. My only complaints are that you have to pay $5 each month to forfeit listening to all the ads AND there are too many songs with explicit/vulgar language. That needs to be addressed. I have been playing this game for years and I love it. However there have been many men who assume that Songpop is a dating site. They don’t know any of the songs even if they pick the category, and as soon as they’re able to send messages they begin asking for you to post pictures or to get a hangouts app so that you can chat all the time. Just be aware..Another clueis most of these men only have women opponents.

I haven’t played this game in over a year or two and I use to love it and play all the time because I am such a huge music buff so I saw it as a suggested download and thought oh yeah I liked this and started playing and within 2.5 seconds of playing I literally was like this is got to be a joke of some sort because literally LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE THING YOU DO IS FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY AN AD !!! I became so overwhelming frustrated that in the midst of playing against an opponent I was like For What? Like why is this so important or fun that I’m taking the limited time out of my day to sit and relax and enjoy something and have to watch ad after ad after ad after ad every time you do anything and I realize nowadays it’s like you except and know that 99% of anything usually is going to come with ads and it’s frustrating but not usually so overly bombarded by the ads that you literally just say despite liking and using SongPopClassic you would rather delete it and keep it moving and find a similar app to this and more than likely not be consumed by the ads like that and believe me for every one app now there is 20 of the same nature or kind.

SongPopClassic has any type of music that you’d want. They don’t have some artists like Nick Jonas, they have the Jonas Brothers with some of his music. Do you guys really think it’s necessary to have an AD at the end of every time you go against someone? It gets really annoying, that’s why I keep quitting and joining back again. I think you guys should fix the ads problem. We shouldn’t have this many ads I’m sick of skipping over them! I also had an older guy like mid 40’s and comment about my profile picture saying “nice tongue” But you can play with famous Tik Tokers but I feel like they get vip for free since they’re famous but the price to buy vip is good! You should not have this many ads it gets very annoying and I haven’t saw it gotten fixed yet when I first joined like 2 years ago there was never this many ads it was like 3-4 games and then get an ad now it’s every game then to buy to not have ads is extremely annoying I’m sure you get enough money anyways

Like many others I love the game & its offerings. After 6 weeks of playing however I had issues with not getting Daily Bonuses for the end of the 6th week. Instead it started my Daily Bonus with Day one Week one with no explanation. The same weekend I bought 3 packs of tickets & on the last one it didn’t give me the tickets. I contacted Customer Service about these issues. They responded with an e-mail saying they would address my concerns ASAP, but I never heard another word. So I contacted them again & they never acknowledged it or responded in any way. Their Customer Support is non existent & after reading all the negative feedback on trying to cancel VIP STATUS, I’m concerned that might be an issue eventually too. The VIP cost is too high for what you get too. I would like them to work on their Customer Service & come up with more 60’s categories. How about Psychedelic 60’s or Flower Power 60’s Contests for 60’s Badge holders.

This is my favorite app. It’s turned me on to lots of different songs and artists. I have also met some cool friends/players after playing for so long. I do have a few complaints about it. First, for about a month now I haven’t been able to add music to my Apple playlist. When I try to add a song, it freezes up and I have to swipe out of SongPopClassic . This is one of the main reasons I have Apple Music because of the ease of adding songs straight from Songpop. Second, you need to have ways to earn tickets. It takes forever to save them up to even have a shot of getting any sort of prize. Lastly, when I’m scrolling through the playlists to purchase one, if I scroll too fast-it will close out of SongPopClassic . It’s done that with multiple phones over the years. Please please fix these bugs and bring back songpop live!

I have been a loyal player for years, everyday. I don’t have VIP and can not afford to buy it. They have decided to go all in on VIP which means us regular players are punished. I have lost hard earned mastery streak bonuses. You now only get 6 lousy points for all 5 right instead of 12. The game has been making a big push or VIP and it all seems they just want your money. They’ve ruined on of my favorite games and I won’t play as much. What’s the purpose of you barley make progress. I hope they realize this and return some of the old benefits to us non VIP’s. Is a shame that they've gotten greedy and money hungry. Also to take away VIP rewards from a day and 2 days every 2 weeks to just 30 minutes...shameful. I hope they make some real changes and realize how greedy they have become. Losing a solid player. I have lost ALL interest in this game. Being screwed over for money is shameful...this is a money hungry, money grubbing game. SHAMEFUL. I considered getting VIP but now I’ll not give this game one cent of my money...

I love SongPop..been playing for years. That said, the new update is disappointing to say the least.

For us non-VIP players, we used to get 1 and 2 days of VIP every two weeks for consistent login/play...now it’s 30 minutes?! How does decreasing VIP time encourage us to want to buy VIP? When we get a chance to experience it for a day or two, it’s more likely that we realize it’s fun and a nice bonus and maybe worth spending $ on. When we get it for 30 minutes we get next to nothing out of it...and that’s if we can play at that moment and take advantage of the 30 minutes. You really screwed that up guys!

And 15 minutes of 2x coins?! What’s the point? I have more coins than I can possibly ever spend as it is...they're only good for buying playlists...which take forever to master...because I’m not VIP...because it’s a gouge at $5/month. If it was a flat one-time fee, I’d be way more likely to purchase. $60/year is ridiculous...I’ll stick to the obnoxious ads.

Absolutely NO to the new forced Fast Play. I’ve loved & stuck with this game from the beginning through terrible changes, tolerated them because it was still fun to play. The addition of the ads in between rounds reduced the frequency & length of my game play sessions considerably because it was so annoying and I’m not willing to pay $4.99 every month for VIP. This change to forced fast play is a deal breaker. I’m ready to totally jump ship.

Previous review: I had been playing SongPop daily for years until this latest update. I loved the game; it's awesome! I paid a one-time fee right after I originally downloaded it to get rid of the ads. Now the ads are back---in between EVERY SINGLE MATCH & completely ruin the game. This is not the way to reward long time players who have been playing your game since it came out! No way I am going to pay $4.99 a month to play without ads even though I used to buy VIP occasionally. Bad move SongPop!

During the beginning of quarantine I downloaded this game to pass the time because I loved music & love competing with other people about song knowledge. I even started paying for VIP because I played it so often to be able to play any playlist of my choosing against other players among getting rid of the annoying ads. I logged back in today after 3 months of not playing and noticed they had a new “diamond VIP” and had basically screwed any other player who doesn’t have it. Before you could watch as many ads per day to get as many tickets you wanted, they have now limited it to 5 per day. You get an annoying pop up every time you log in telling you to sign for diamond VIP which is $20 dollars a month??! I’m going to end up canceling my VIP status and just deleting SongPopClassic . It’s not worth it if you don’t upgrade to diamond vip anymore.

I LOVE this game! I’ve been addicted to it for about two weeks now. The only problem, which is kind of a big one, is that it is VERY difficult to earn tickets needed to play Party Rounds. I love Party Rounds but I always end up spending too much money and have to quit. I wish there was an easier way to earn tickets. Perhaps a daily allowance? It’s very frustrating to now be able to work your way up the leaderboard and especially after you wait a few days to come back and it’s still at 0-1 tickets from the last time. It’s like I can’t build them up. If you guys could help with a new feature or something, that would be very cool!

In my opinion Songpop 2 is one of the best music games of all time, alongside Geometry Dash and Osu! and Guitar Hero. The design is great, the concept is great, the mechanics and difficulty are well balanced. And so in 2017 I would have given it a 5. However in the past three years all they’ve really done is continue to add repetitive albums. They recycle the same party playlists, there are no interesting events, half of my opponents are surely bots as they refuse to try to attract new players or maintain their player base. And so the enjoyment of playing Songpop has dwindled drastically. I think there are so many outdated playlists and buggy interface issues the developer would be better off creating a Songpop 3 than trying to invigorate 2 with a big update and some ads. Really want something like what Songpop was in 2017 to come around though.

Super fun app and extremely addictive especially for music lovers! Pair it with Apple Music to build awesome playlists out of songs you’ve long forgotten about but still love!

My only complaints are the obnoxiously long splash / intro screens and the overuse of cutesy animations - i just want to get in, play and get out! Also the developers are WAY too pushy about participating in “parties” which personally I don’t care much about (I have other things to do in my life than dir around all day and play this!) but overall this is really really fun.

VIP is worth paying for (which is a nice way if saying that the “free play” as a “guest” is so badly hobbled / crippled as to make it annoying enough to actually make one want to pay for the upgrade, but I don’t regret it either since the songs are great and the game really is addictive!)

Since Songpop added ads and the “VIP” option as ways to generate revenue, SongPopClassic’s slowly become complete garbage. You’d think since they’re price gouging in any way possible SongPopClassic would’ve improved, but nope; if anything, it glitches even more and issues with loading songs happens even more than before. The only reason I kept playing was I met some great people via SongPopClassic, and I was able to chat with them for free (at least ‘til they start to charge that). But this most recent update denies me access to my email profile, so now all my games that I’ve played for years are essentially locked. When I caved and tried to login via Facebook, what I thought would happen happened: still can’t access my previous profile and Songpop is sharing my social media data as I prefer apps not to do. It’s sad cuz SongPopClassic went from being an apps to bring music fans together in a fun way to basically being a cash grab.

I have been playing this for quite some time. I love guessing the songs. I don’t care if I win or lose I learn a lot of songs. The only thing I wish if they could somehow add the last playlist your opponent played in the list of playlists to choose from like under the last playlist you played. Many times opponents ask to help them with their playlist but I go to next screen too fast and forget which one they played last. It would just make life easier if their last playlist was one of the choices. Thx.

Originally I had part 1 of this game installed (not sure if this one is really even related). I hadn’t played in a long time. When I recently revisited in quarantine, I found out that part 1 is now unsupported/dead, so I downloaded SongPopClassic “SongPop 2” . This could be a good game. The problem is this “free” game is hard to get through. Get ready for CONSTANT ads that you oftentimes can’t quit after watching your “10 second” requirement. And the ads are AWFUL!!!! Loud shrill ads for stupid games you wouldn’t believe were actually real. Over, and over, and overrrr again... You’ll have 30 seconds of game play, followed by minutes long ads. Unfortunately there’s no “flat rate” to purchase SongPopClassic without these ads. If you do take the “pay to play” option, there is a monthly and/or other fees for ad ons. Ruins what could be an otherwise fun game. ☹️

I like Songpop, and have been playing it consistently for over two years now. It’s a fun little music guessing game, and it’s a great way to pass the time or find/rediscover music.

However, their micro transactions are crazy. I have been a regular monthly subscriber for over a year and, despite that loyalty, they still charge you if you miss a day and lose your login streak. $1.99 to continue a streak the first time. $4.99 for subsequent continuation “revivals.” This all on top of a $4.99/mo subscription.

You can, of course, play without micro transactions. However, when attempting to “master” playlists—successfully guessing several thousand songs correctly against opponents—you receive a massive boon for being a subscriber. Up to the tune of an additional +6 guess points for being a loyal VIP member for 6+ months. Without it, you can be stuck on a playlist for MONTHS because only guess-chains of 3 in a row count toward your mastery bar. As you can see, the P2W is real.

I would be fine with this game, and highly recommend it to music lovers, if it weren’t so blatantly trying to be a cash grab scheme. However, because subscribers really don’t get any perks beyond mastering playlists faster, I cannot give this game more than a two-star review.
