      Great!

      Dearest Ubisoft and Just Dance developers, I cannot express how impressed I am with this app. Its sleek, beautiful design and multiple features for sure make it a winner. I just have a few suggestions: 1. Maybe regular Wii compatibility? I understand how old Wiis are, but maybe a more simple Wi-Fi signal output would do the trick, considering most Wiis can connect to Wi-Fi. 2. Maybe the ability to change your avatar and name without signing in? I am I'm 6th grade and apparently "everything matters"😂 I hope you consider those suggestions for the app. However, I do have a few more suggestions for Just Dance itself: (these are totally random and might not even be possible?) 1. I know how much people love custom made things, so it'd be cool if you could come up with a custom dance. First, you could pick one of the premade avatars from the other songs. Then, you could make your own moves to the duration of the song. The avatar would mirror you, you could then save it, name it and play it with your friends! 2. You could make a whole other app specifically made for iPad. (Not iPad Mini, just anything that measures bigger than or equal to and iPad screen. You could do the same with Samsung or other devices. Maybe even computers. Then, using the same controller app, prop your iPad up and play Just Dance on there! (They would have to buy the different editions mobily.) is that even a word ?!?😂😂 I hope you take these into serious consideration! Thanks so much!

      The app works The company doesn’t

      Hey so I wanted to write this review because I got this to play during quarantine with my gf it was a struggle just getting the game (I recommend just buying it on the console through the store) but the game does work if you have a phone below the update of 13.4 tho it is a struggle here’s a guide to adding friends in to dance{first pick the song get to the screen where it says “keep phone securely in right hand” add the players with 13.4 an there you go pick a mentor an play one song after that you have to delete the app an redo the whole process again} Obviously the problem with 13.4 lies somewhere between those points of the game, I tried telling Ubisoft the exact problem an was cut short On 13.3 the xbox ps4 Nintendo controller has no effect on game play which is a big plus an a feature you should have kept obviously. stop ignoring are call to dance Ubisoft fix the issue it’s right here Don’t give us the bs about the app just not working I can use the 13.3 version of iPhone X to force the 13.4 version of iPhone XS to work an track an sync what is the excuses

      Great app awesome game

      I’m a big JD fan, been playing the game every year since JD3, back in Brazil, so I’ve followed all the technologies that the game was available on. Stated with Nintendo wii and those heavy controllers, then Xbox 360 and the freedom of movement with Kinect and now with Xbox One which I’ve been using my phone as a controller - yay!. Since I’ve traded my phone in a bigger one I started to feel less comfortable to play with. Right arm and hand sore for holding it tight to not hit anyone or break anything. What if we have a version of this app for wearables, like Apple Watch? Well, I’m not a developer savvy but I believe your team can come up with a solution for this. I would even consider actually getting a Apple Watch just to comfortably play my favorite game of all. And please let me know if you guys actually work on this idea. Thank you for reading this ;)

      It WAS working great but it crashes now

      This app was working very well for me! I honestly find it a lot easier to get Megastars using it rather than the camera. However just a few days ago it started to crash whenever I started using it. I tried multiple phones too and they didn’t work. I actually tried my iPad too, which somehow worked, yet it’s very hard to use as you could imagine. I am also very very close to getting megastar on Kill This Love extreme, which would be my first Extreme megastar, but the app started to crash right before I mastered it. I really want to get megastars on the other extremes too, but I can’t do so without the app. I don’t know why it crashes now, but it would be awesome if you could fix it! Thanks!

      Love but problem I’m sad about

      I love just dance but when I tried to play with this app on my phone it keeps kicking me out at first like a normal person would probably think is they have full storage so I deleted like 99% of my photos because I really wanted to play since it’s a lifetime chance because my brothers always on the Xbox so I hardly get to play so when I deleted the photos it still wouldn’t work then I deleted the app and installed it again but that didn’t work either please fix it I really wanted to play I don’t know what’s going on I also checked my WiFi it didn’t help either please read this and fix so I can play again. 🙂😢😤

      Issues with the game

      First off, this is a really fun game to play with my family, but we have been having lot of issues with the game. First is when we try to connect all of our phones to the game, most of them get kicked out of the game. And it does not let us back in. Another thing is when I try to connect to controller wands to it, one of them is connected but when I try to use the other ones, it does not let me hit x on the wand. It has me hit x on the controller. So when I start dancing with the controller in my hand, the game is saying I am not using the right one like it keeps showing Xs when ever I make the right moves on there. So then I try to do the wands and the same thing happens. I don’t know if I am supposed to hold a button down on it because I tried that with every button on there and it is not letting me. Is it supposed to be the connection. And how to I have the game not kick me out of the app on my phone when I try to join?

      Great- for the first 3 months

      I bought the base game for 2020 at the end of January, and was surprised to learn an app was available. My sister and I were previously using the PSVR camera to dance, and the apps were much more responsive. We took a break in March, and came back in April for the Unlimited trial. Starting this week, it’s been next to impossible to play- trying to boot the game up resulted in my phone force quitting the app when attempting to sign in, and potentially during dances, if you made it that far. This could usually be solved by uninstalling and redownloading the app, though this no longer works. It was only happening on my phone, but it is now occurring on my sister’s phone as well. This app was by far the easiest way to use Just Dance, and it accommodates well for parties up to 6 people, but this bug breaks it. I feel like I’ve been cheated out of the money spent on the game, which is frustrating.

      I get disconnected all the time

      When I first got this game, the controls were working fine but the more I danced, it got worse. I get disconnected even in the middle of songs which is annoying if I am on the world floor. I am not able to get decent scores while using this app. One time I got disconnected then I reconnected, and 10 seconds after I got disconnected again! The worst part is that I already spent $60 to buy the game, and to get the Kinect is another $100 with an adapter of $60. I can not afford the Kinect so hopefully there is an update that fixes some of the bugs soon. It is also unfair to people who have a Kinect because it tracks both arm moments (thus earning more points) while the phone controller only tracks one arm. I've heard people complain about this before so hopefully the Just Dance company will make it fair for everyone. I really hope that this review is put into consideration for the next update. Thank you.

      Now I Get It

      Now I know why the game doesn’t work sometimes. One day after I got the Just Dance Unlimited for one mouth the next day it didn’t work and later the day I got the membership. This also didn’t even let me to connect my phone and it’s just really stupid. They need to adjust the app to the membership for the connectivity to the platform and the app itself. There may be some more problems but they still need to fix this. And I have been looking at other reviews and they haven’t even tried to update the game form two months after this person review and even three years ago!! Even I can do better then this and I’m not even a teenager. These employees for the making of this app need to acknowledge some of their customer’s reviews before it to late and your app it nothing. Fix your game, and quick.

      Can Barely Even Play the Game

      The concept of this is good, but whenever I try to play I have major issues. Just so you know I am playing on Xbox One S. When trying to play co-op mode, the first two devices connect fine, but the third one always disconnects almost as soon as it has connected. Frequently when we are in the middle of a song the TV screen will say it’s disconnected but the phones don’t say it’s disconnected. We then have to reconnect all over again. I made a Ubisoft account to access Just Dance Unlimited, but after I made the account it could never connect to Ubisoft servers so I could actually get Just Dance Unlimited. If you are playing on Xbox, I predict that Kinect works better. Please make improvements to this app so I can play Just Dance.

      Does it glitch on iPhones only?

      We have Just Dance 2020 and we download this app to play the game my brother has an S10 galaxy, my sister has and iPhone 8 and I have and iPhone XR. When we downloaded the game everything was fine until we chose a song when we chose a song the app blanked out on my sister’s and I phones so we deleted it downloaded it again and it worked. When the song was over and we chose another song it blanked us out again the whole time we was playing the game and we played like 10 songs it keep blanking us out but my brothers phone never blanked out once. So i’m asking is the app equipped for iPhones or only Androids? Also will you be able to fix this problem?

      Just Dance won’t let me Just Dance

      Truly Fed up with the recent behavior of this app! Long time user of Just dance and other Ubisoft games and now I can’t play a game I recently purchased. Trying to place in a case about the crashing and the website is not responsive at all. Please fix this app soon because everyone who is talking about the app are experiencing the same issues and it is not fair. Can’t Quarantine and dance if the app won’t work and I truly refuse to purchase a Kinect just to play the game at all. I own an Xbox and this is not it at all. If you see this please notify all of us stifling with the app and the games ASAP because I’m not paying anymore money for this game. I also purchased a 12 month subscription of the unlimited and I can’t play that if the app keep crashing. Like Ubisoft needs to get it together sap before they lose all their paying costumers and go broke with this. Love, peace and hair grease✌🏾

      Ubisoft could do better

      I played this game a couple days in a row when I first got it. I left it alone for a while, then came back to play it again. Every time, it would disconnect either before I even got into the game, or just before dancing. I tried everything! At first I thought it was a problem with my Xbox, however after updating and realizing everything was fine, I knew it was a problem with the app. I looked it up, but nothing came up except notes from Ubisoft telling me to check if my wifi was connected, etc. Looking through the reviews on this app, I saw many others were having this problem. However, there wasn’t anything I could seem to do to fix it. Overall, this app was great for a few days, but quickly proved itself full of bugs. There is enough bad reviews that you think the company would do something about it, but the app is just as problematic as ever. I even tried using different phones to see if that would work better, but no dice. Unfortunately there are no other options to play with, besides an expensive kinect sensor. After spending money on the game itself, and having been playing this game since I was a little kid on the Wii, I had expectations. While there’s nothing wrong with the game, the app is just super crappy.

      No longer supports 2015

      I used this app for years as it helped me stay in shape, and 2015 was one of my favorite versions to fall back on - good songs, the dances were good without being too over the top to get a decent workout. I took a break for health reasons, and now coming back to give it a try and get back into it yet again, I find I’m locked out from play because the app suddenly decided to no longer support it. Why? This invalidates an entire game purchase and I’m tired of paying full price for a game that I have to hope someday doesn’t decide to suddenly no longer be supported. I refuse to buy the Move controllers when the app worked just fine, which doesn’t work to Ubisoft’s advantage anyway as they don’t get a cut. I strongly urge you to fine a way to support it as it now stands I will no longer purchase another JD title since there is no assurance of continued support for modes of play.
