★★★★ "Don’t Play. Genuinely horrible. I came to this app after beatstar shut down and it is honestly sad. This game is loaded with adds. Each is a minute long. As for mechanics, the placement of tiles in connection with the song is just wrong. It feels like …" - Cybernihlis

Don’t Play
Genuinely horrible. I came to this app after beatstar shut down and it is honestly sad. This game is loaded with adds. Each is a minute long. As for mechanics, the placement of tiles in connection with the song is just wrong. It feels like AI did it instead of an actual person. This game needs to die
★★★★ GorgeousQueenK 12/17/2025 v2.8.8
Too many ads
So many ads, you can’t even play the game and have fun. Not only that, the advertisements are so long. It really made me delete the entire game. I liked the songs but they way too greedy for me. I wish beat star would come back. I miss them.
★★★★ Hbktvukugt 12/9/2025 v2.8.8
Adds
Ver inappropriate adds popped up in between playing songs.
★★★★ craftymama1975 11/1/2025 v2.8.8
No way to sync tap with sound
Title says it all
★★★★ Yokai817 10/12/2025 v2.8.8
End game
The game is very unplayable at times. Little to no audio. Rainbow perfects aren’t registering when i know I’m hitting the notes with accuracy. I really wish the developer would fix the bugs and lags in the game. Why is this still in the Apple Store, when the developer can’t even fix the problems in the game. Just remove the game from the store at this point, because it’s really frustrating.
★★★★ Rebels11mg 10/5/2025 v2.8.8
Adds are a joke.
I mean there are some games you play here and there is some adds. This game every 5 seconds they have an add. Don’t get this stupid money hungry game.
★★★★ Kyle Mattox 9/3/2025 v2.8.8
Yikes
1 minute of unskippable ads PLUS an a playable game ad when you MISS ONE SWIPE?? Trash behavior
★★★★ HARDCOREvideos 9/2/2025 v2.8.8
Bro really
To many ads it keeps doing ads in the middle of the song
★★★★ Tinkertits85 4/14/2024 v2.6.1
No sound
I have absolutely no sound with this app. I just spent $9.99 for NOTHING.
★★★★ Elicostello15 3/22/2024 v2.6.0
REMOVE ADS DONT WORK
I paid for the remove ads, and it never worked. Please refund me.
★★★★ kenginel 3/6/2024 v2.5.9
Game does not load
Game does not load and of course it is after I paid 2.99 to remove ads. Really annoying and sad as it was a well done game. Tried deleting and reinstalling. Still does not work.
★★★★ Asdfamazing 2/26/2024 v2.5.9
Adds adds adds
It has way to many adds, wanna play a song? Add, wanna retry? Add, wanna? Add its annoying
★★★★ Pandagirl<3 3/20/2023 v2.0
Off tempo
The beats are completely off tempo and it feels like they have nothing to do with the song. Whether it’s one of the three given songs by the app or my downloaded music… it doesn’t feel like I’m really playing properly or being scored fairly because the beats just don’t follow any of the music.
★★★★ Grim of Death 12/3/2022 v2.0
Don't upgrade
If you upgrade to the New version it lags and glitch Don't upgrade
★★★★ vivenesse 11/6/2022 v2.0
Don’t download!(or do)
Try for ur self ig
★★★★ Yohstaa 5/8/2022 v1.1
Garbage
Played this game for two minutes. The game Downloaded my podcasts instead my music library.. I then deleted game immediately. Don’t waste your time.
★★★★ Lhaza 11/2/2021 v1.1
Great concept terrible execution
Besides that fact that the game can’t find all my music it’s built terribly
The notes speed up as they come to your tap marker making it virtual impossible to tap constantly and most notes are unresponsive
★★★★ unimpressed musician 7/26/2021 v1.1
Poor Rhythm
Played one song and the notes did not match the beat at all.
★★★★ og mudbond 7/21/2021 v1.1
doodoo
the hit timing is slow like some dude from maryland
★★★★ gwennpenn 3/31/2021 v1.1
podcasts ≠ music
Only used podcasts as music :/ cracked me up but uninstalled after having it for 2 seconds
★★★★ Bradster2013 10/21/2020 v1.1
Great concept needs a lot of work
Needs a lot of work I have over 1000 songs on my phone and it only uploaded 5. Needs to be synced with Apple Music or something
★★★★ Louis Principe 8/7/2020 v1.1
Don’t get this game
Buying more songs in the iTunes Store costs money. They’re just 3 songs that come by default.
★★★★ mia gulick 6/14/2020 v1.1
Best game ever!
My two year old loves it! He slams his sticky syrup fingers on the screen and it brings him many joys.
★★★★ Iomplok 5/30/2020 v1.1
10 year old version was better
Seriously. I used to play tap tap revenge and it was so much better. This version’s taps aren’t in time with the music and don’t even register my taps half the time. Don’t waste your time downloading.
★★★★ M_A_H_S_A 4/13/2020 v1.1
Terrible
I really miss tap tap revenge !
★★★★ kestewart25 3/22/2020 v1.1
Only podcasts work as “music”
When the app promises you can use your own music, this is not the case. However, my downloaded podcast episodes worked just fine. Shoutout to CITO, made for a great game.
★★★★ D3m0nsR3735 2/25/2020 v1.1
No sound?
None of the songs pre loaded or that were found on my phone have sound.
★★★★ MRJ12744 1/6/2020 v1.1
Yikes
Instead of using my music library, it uses my podcast library.
★★★★ Khart5970 10/11/2019 v1.1
Not what it used to be
Nothing is even close to how it’s supposed to work. Taps don’t register on the little circles and the music doesn’t line up. Bring back Tap Tap Revenge from like 10 years ago. That’s what I was hoping for
★★★★ Sir Markus 8/9/2019 v1.1
Non Synced Taps
The taps aren’t synced with music
★★★★★ CrackinStine 2/15/2026 v2.8.8
Less ads, more rock!
100% you will drive people away with that amount of ads you currently have, especially the one that everyone is forced to view upon starting the app up.
I played 2 songs so far and counted 5 different ads across doing this. Way overkill, very likely gonna delete this just on that alone. I know you need revenue but overdoing the ads will lose you users in the long run.
★★★★★ DragonX77 10/6/2025 v2.8.8
Ads
Too many ads, don’t download, i uninstalled after just 2 minutes of playing
★★★★★ TrueLoverofGodsWords 5/17/2024 v2.6.8
Good game
Wish it was more culture music like New York drill music and hip hop
