Magic Piano: game by Smule 4+

Smoola and ad problems

I’ve had this app for at least 6 years and I loved playing it when I first downloaded it. I don’t really mind all the changes that made the app look different, but I’m having problems that I never had in the past. When I played this app on my iPad, I watched videos to get at least 75 smoola and it worked. Then recently when I started to do it again, it worked but then I would get ads that didn’t get me any smoola. When I first started having this problem, I thought that there might be a glitch in the app. So I tried to buy a song from the Songbook because I thought I would get the song I wanted even though I didn’t have the right amount of smoola. But when I tapped on the song to buy it, it said that I didn’t have the right amount even though I watched videos to earn smoola. Sometimes I would wait to get more smoola and then when I press the button to earn 5 smoola, it would say there I should come back later to watch more videos. Then I go to use another app to occupy myself. Then when I go back to the app, I would press the same button again, but then I would get an ad that doesn’t get me any smoola. I also wish that I wouldn’t have to watch videos after playing songs and I wouldn’t have to watch videos to play free songs even though I already played the song I want to play again. Those problems seem to bug me but overall this app is pretty great.

Apple, and Other Devices

Cloud 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.

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
