Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
So far we haven't come across any problems. We are a huge sucker for piano and rhythm games. We absolutely love this! We've been playing two hours straight now ^__^.
We grew up playing the piano. This is a great way to learn some new songs on the piano and play then in a new way.
Great game. Very easy to learn, but lots of interesting variations and challenges.
So far so good. The sound is pleasant and the idea charming.
We love this game It's fun and challenging and we love the piano.
Totally awesome! Anyone can learn to play.
Can be the best game ,but we think can be 6 stars if sync with a real piano cause many times hiting two notes.
Just started it, but so far so good.
It keeps saying our game is outdated even though we just installed it.
We just got it and we already love it but for some reason it feels like a rip off of some other app… No offense to the creators of the game.
Same review as Nemeria. Love the layout and it is so much fun! However, the game always shuts off after we finish playing a song and it doesn't give us experience points of star credit but it still uses inspiration and we can't get that back! We get so frustrated that we end up not even wanting to play it! Please fix the crashing and lagging.
This is a great game that we've had a lot of fun playing. The song variety is good and the variations (closing curtain and blockade) make things more interesting. We also like the layout of the game. Our only issues have been the occasional glitches such as gameplay freezing or lagging, resulting in missed notes and, after completing a song, the game freezes and shuts down after the gift is opened but before the stars are counted. When we open the game again, the Inspiration has been used but the song play was not credited. Issues aside, we don't see ourselves ever becoming bored with Piano City.
Concept and most of the execution of this game is spot on. However, this game currently has a habit of glitching after you complete a song and shutting down without giving you credit. When that is fixed, this would be a 5 star. As is, only true fans of this game will push on through the game shutting down on you. We personally won't invest in this game until that is resolved.
This has been one of our faves and it's sad that it doesn't working our new Xr after several years on our 7+. :(.
Would really love to play this game but every time we open it it says there is no internet connection. We love this game and want to play it. But its obviously not letting us play it. And every time we do play it it glitches and kicks us out. Then we lose our inspiration and have to wait to get it all back. We think you guys need a new server because it keeps saying that it has expired.
It did some update and now it just keeps crashing.
If youre not gonna update the game take it off the store.
It shows this build has expired, please upgrade it is a good game actually! Please fix the version! Thank you.
We just recently went back to an iPhone and when we had one before we had this game and loved it Was super excited when we found it today But that was short lived cause it will NOT let us play It says Everyplay SPK This build has expired, please upgrades it lets you hit OK then the box pops up and says check your internet connection… Retry we have uninstalled and reinstalled, closed the app out and reopened, turned our data off and back on and even reset our phone and still NOTHING Please fix so we can be super excited again Thanks.
There is something wrong going on. We tried visiting our favorite old game and then it says to upgrade it?? We looked in the upgrade section and we didnt find the game. And then after that pop up we go back and it says we dont have wifi but we do. If anyone else knows what to do please help.
We know that premium song packs are for sale, but wouldn't it be better if players can purchase what they prefer with some kind of precious in-game currency to make your app popular? Tired of playing those old folk songs. Feels like rusty piano app.
It's a really cool game! We love it.
We love this game, can't wait to add it to our other devices so our daughters can play too.
We use it instead of playing piano and we really enjoy it we suggest everyone to use this game.
We like this game because it's combining the regular piano apps and making it interesting. Good use of time and money on this one.
Our wife loves your game, plays it on our phone and hers.
We find our timing improving and the "contest" feel keeps the challenge interesting.
This app is great but can freeze and glitch every now and then.
There is something making our app freeze temporarily and then when it comes out of it we've missed a bunch of keys. It's caused us to loose games and "inspiration" multiple times and some stages are impossible to get 3 stars on because of this. We do love your game and the challenge though. Please make your app go from great to fantastic.
We loved this game, but after so many updates, it just wouldn't even start. As soon as we needed to play something, the app would close.
It is the best piano app we have played.
We do NOT play piano in real life, LOL, but we do love this game!!! Lots of fun, easy to start and learn and songs get harder as you level up. We have reached the top level, we'd pay if they would create more!!! Fun Fun Fun.
As a piano player ourselves, we absolutely love this game.
We've always loved the piano this game is awesome.
This game is very cool. Love the piano.
We took piano lessons for almost 10 years and we still enjoy this game. And it's even fun for those who have no background in piano theory. It's fun and easy and enjoyable- thanks!! :-).
Fun game, but very glitchy, which gets frustrating considering how much energy must be used. We also think there should be a way to practice the songs more, even if you can't "earn" anything. Otherwise it can take a long time to become proficient at the harder songs. This is a game we play,our hen quit, then come back to weeks or months later and try again.
We love how fun this game is! It brings us back to our own piano lessons when we were a child. We also love how quickly the energy bar fills up. Great for passing time as well.
We love this game. Plus we always wanted to learn how to play a piano & this game makes it seem so easy.
As a pianist, we don't typically find free music games that we're impressed with, especially centered around the piano. This game is sort of like Magic Piano or DDR in that you are tapping rhythms as they fall. However, many games like this aren't 100% accurate rhythmically, don't use classic and time-tested repertoire, and certainly don't use the piano keyboard. Piano City has all of this, and gives you tons of challenges and ways to earn more songs. It can get frustrating waiting for your "inspiration" to fill up, but like most free games, you have to have a little patience or be willing to pay. We haven't spent real money (and don't plan to) and we're up to Concert 33. If you love music, rhythm, piano, and a challenge, you'll love Piano City.
We have been looking for a piano game that was fun and engaging. This is it. We have just started and am hooked. Our nieces who plays the piano also loves this game.
This is a amazing game us and our sisters love this game.
It's a fun game, we've seen a few posts saying it's hard, but what game is fun without some difficulty. If you love music you love to play in this game is for you.
This game is really fun and we don't know of any other one like it.
The inspiration thing is BS. We just spent $2 on a pack of songs only for you to tell us we can't play them? Why must we be forced to either wait or make a purchase to continue playing the game? That's messed up. It's fun but we're not gonna be playing it very often if it keeps this up. It's pointless.
We love this game so much! It's really fun but also challenging so you don't fly through all the levels right away! Definitely worth getting.
It is really enjoyable for us, it can be difficult but we still enjoy it.
What we would like to see is better battle mods, give us chance to compete, and more songs (rock as for us)). Still one of the best music games on the store.
You should get this game best piano game we've ever played in our life.
Since the update, the piano sound is less crisp and clear sounding, more muted. It's harder to hear over the background music. Also seems to lag a bit. Revert the sound back to what it was and–5 stars.
