User Reviews for Synesthetic

Brilliant idea

Turning all of my songs into a trippy game I can play? Yes please. All the modes have something special to them, and I feel 90% happy and 10% dizzy at the same time. Would recommend this to anyone. One complaint, I didn't really like how the update removed the % boost from stars. The scoring system seems semi-glitchy now. I tried playing a song perfect 6 times over and it strangely goes up a little every time, and when I hit my high score it drops a lot. Plz fix :D

Memorable and always fun!

This was always my favourite app on my ex's iPod. Years later, I finally got an iPhone and I easily remembered this fantastic game! You follow this psychedelic tube that moves to the beat as you tilt to dodge shapes. This app is best used with dub step, to get the full effect. Slower songs are a bit boring, but they're relaxing. I fully recommend this app for anyone who loves music!Edit: Please update!! It’s not working on my iPhone 7plus!!

Nothing short of impeccable

I remember playing this game on my 4th generation IPod Touch and it was an incredible experience. Now that I am playing it again on my 6G IPod touch, the gorgeous visuals are fully realized for the immersive experience. As a music lover and avid video gamer, I definitely recommend this amazing game to anyone seeking a visceral and lucid journey into their songs. If you ever pondered what your songs and their musical notes look like when you follow their rhythm, it’s worth the $5 dollars to purchase this game. Once you play songs that range from calm to chaotic, playing this game becomes an addictive experience you won’t regret having once you descend a colorful downward spiral to a rhythmic flower while tilting to avoid the obstacles (musical notes and poles) in your way.

Yes

This is honestly one of the greatest games I've purchased from the App Store and it's very well-done. If you're wondering whether or not it actually works with your music, I'm sure it will -- I've gone through so many songs and it manages to sync perfectly and change the game path. One thing I was amazed with is how sometimes the game will become slow-motion at times that match the song, it's pretty impressive.

Currently FIXED

While this game is by far my favorite music generated game, it’s also unplayable. I don’t mean it’s controls are bad or anything, I mean you just can’t play it. In the menu, initially all the buttons work, you can go to the settings and everything, but then I go to choose a song, tap the song I want, and nothing happens. Huh that’s weird, so I go back to the menu and none of the buttons do anything at all. It’s like trying to initialize any actual gameplay just breaks the whole app, and I’ve reinstalled it and everything but the problem persists. This is very disappointing because it used to honestly be my favorite app when I could actually use it.Edit: ITS ALIIIIVE, I missed this game so much and honestly had given up on it as abandonware, but to see it properly re-done for modern iOS is such a relief and I’ll be going back to losing just as many hours to this game as I did over 5 years ago! Thanks dev!!

Beyond Impressive

The game's three modes are all fun in their respective way. I found the motion blur a bit distracting along with the music muffling but one 10-second visit to the menu screen later and I was playing again, uninterrupted and having an absolute blast. This game is well worth FIVE dollars, let alone 3. One of the best apps I've purchased in a while. Audiosurf fans looking for something to play on their iPhones, look no further! My only problem is with the camera, which sometimes tilts slightly to the left and right, but it isn't so noticeable on more chaotic songs and add to the tension. Definitely a must-own for any iPhone user and/or gamer.

Complete ripoff

I paid the 2.99 for this app based on a couple great reviews and for the fact I love music. Bad bad choice on my part. The game worked once after I removed it and re-downloaded it. But it played same song over and over. It was a song I don’t even have in my library. Then the game never worked again. Worse yet is that every time I click on “App Support”, it takes me to a page saying network connection is lost-yet I’m still on network if I go anywhere else online. So it’s total crap and a scam. I can’t even contact the developer to get a refund for this piece of crap. Don’t waste your time or money

Genius!

I have synesthesia, and for years now I have accumulated music on my iPhone to listen to constantly because it invokes the exact sense of engagement and stimuli that this app has emulated so perfectly. This app was literally made for people like me, and I’ve never felt the need to give any app or iTunes purchase a review before now. I always imagined what I could do with this gift and how I could show people what I see when I hear music, but the level of creativity of a game that uses your own music to give anyone a synesthesia experience that you can physically engage with is above and beyond what I could have ever expected for a phone app. I now have hundreds of songs that I can listen to, see, and PLAY! I am beyond grateful for this. Well done, and keep up the great work!🙌🏾

Great game but no longer can play songs

I loved this game and played it over years but it seems the latest iOS update has made this app unable to select songs from the device. I tried to contact the app developer but his site throws an error when I tried emailing him through it. Until this bug is fixed, it’s a shame to see such a great app die but I guess it is inevitable. (Downloading and reinstalling the app did not fix the issue. I am on an iPhone SE)

IT’S BACK!

Ah, thank you so much! The iOS updates broke the game a few years ago. It’s a coaster visualizer that changes the course to match the song playing, including song from your own library. Though I spent the years searching, I’ve never found another game similar enough to scratch the itch to play. Every so often, I’d check in, looking for updates. And, how I am rewarded! :D
