SongPop Review

App Review: SongPop 

Price: Free

Located: iPhone, Google, and Windows Phones

Overview: Song Pop is a new Facebook game from FreshPlanet that challenges players to prove who has the best song-identification skills. SongPop is very simple, multiple choice game. When beginning a new challenge the player can pick from three categories (90's Alternative, Classic Rock, Modern Rap, 80's Alternative, etc.). Once the player chooses the category he/she goes through five rounds listening to songs from that category and try to guess the song faster than his/her opponent. These rounds continue for 20 rounds. 


As the game progresses you can unlock new categories and new songs that make the game more challenging.

This is entirely social, based on Facebook, and encourages interaction with the other opponents. According to AppData SongPop currently has over 18 million Facebook users and 4.2 million daily users.


Pro: One of the pros of this app is the competitive nature of it. You can challenge friends, or random people, for a fun, addicting game. The accomplishments along the way encourage people to continue to play.

Con: One specific con for me is that I can't play SongPop at work because it requires listening to music. Since I play most of my quick games during work breaks this feature makes it very difficult.

  1. I really enjoy SongPop. It is one of those games that I have spent a little bit of money on unlocking new genres and paying for VIP. I don't play it a whole lot but when I am in the mood at lunch or just don't feel playing a regular video game, it is highly entertaining. It is also one of those games that is very much a "just one more turn" type game. Great review.
