Appropriate advertisements
Can we normalize putting appropriate ads please? I keep getting advertisements on 16+ web toons and I'm not so happy to see that especially when I'm not in the mood for ads that pop up every time I try to goto the menu from a song.

★★★★ 😭💀🤞 1/29/2026 v1.0.2
It’s lowk boring
I have played PJSK for years and am pretty good at it. So no, that is not why I’m saying it’s boring. It’s boring because of the shape of how you’re meant to play it. Y’know, in the hexagon. It’s also annoying to try to adapt to. I do like the songs on it, but I’m just going to have to say it’s boring unless you’ve been playing it for years.
★★★★ Jaselynn! 1/28/2026 v1.0.2
Ads
Too many ads. Unplayable.
★★★★★ Roblox is the best just go 6/22/2026 v1.1.2
I don’t have 5 hands
This game is fun and all but istg there are WAY to many things to click. I mean why are things moving if I’m being completely honest I would rather play magic tiles. And when I click nothing happens too,the game says they fix their bugs but I think that’s a complete lie. Make the game better for players
★★★★★ Scp 1762 6/15/2026 v1.1.2
Idk how to work it :/
I heard that it’s good but it doesn’t show how to play it or maybe I just didn’t find the tutorial button :|
★★★★★ me helloee 6/5/2026 v1.1.2
There are so many bugs with Sonolus Right now..
Ok, I just found this pjsk alternative that i keep playing, but it has so much bugs, Like Chart sfx being delayed, audio or sfx on mute, Unable to load bgm on any type on skin, Servers taking long to load, And etc.
★★★★★ Finn ^o^ 6/1/2026 v1.1.1
uhhh
I used to LOVE this game because I didn't have pjsk and I love the songs but recently I can't see anything in anyone's favorites and I also updated it. I can even play any songs!!! scam
★★★★★ Toothpaste1&2 5/31/2026 v1.1.1
Error?
It was working just fine but then when I choose a son from untitled charts it just says “Error” is there a way to fix this I’m upset because it doesn’t work anymore :(
★★★★★ Darrien.V 4/29/2026 v1.1.1
Sonolus do better
Sonolus I’ve been waiting for about one hour to play a song. It keeps saying error when nothing is wrong. I’m really sorry for saying this just please fix this
★★★★★ ObservantSamjo 3/26/2026 v1.1.0
bro
Ok so basically I usually play sonolus on a different mobile device so I tried playing on my moms phone cuz I forgot to bring mine and for some reason every single note was a good :/ no I’m not bad at the game like every single note I hit is good and it’s so annoying because I’m playing and every note would be like “late great early grate perfect good good good bad good good late perfect good” like I gen ain’t bad at the game I fc jinsei expert and I can clear kaijuu and it’s pmo
★★★★★ Anonymous ( ✌︎'ω')✌︎ 3/6/2026 v1.1.0
Its a good game but..
Wonderful game but its not my device but A LOT AND I MEAN A LOT of people are complaining about the same mistake which has been happening to me also no matter how hard I try it always says “Miss” or some other bs. Just play pjsk is better.
★★★★★ Rlly dont know what to type 2/20/2026 v1.1.0
The game isn’t bad or good
The game is fine in general but for some reason the timing is so bad. Not to be rude but it makes my gameplay super bad not to mention that the people who make the charts go so off with the notes.
★★★★★ LL2nd 2/8/2026 v1.1.0
The notes cannot be processed😔
I try to tap the notes and I’m not able to tap them, when I try tapping it doesn’t work even when it’s on the line ( not over it ) overall it’s satisfying and cool but I’ll leave the game for a bit bc idk what’s going on.
★★★★★ Macky the ratty 2/4/2026 v1.0.2
Kinda bad…
The game includes highly annoying sound effects that distract from the song, and it’s totally off rhythm too
★★★★★ usuckagg 2/1/2026 v1.0.2
i don't really like the game
most of the charts are really offbeat and there's way too many Ada throughout the whole game.
