Even if you aren’t a great musical master, you can still have fun and win in SongPop 2 with playlists that match your favorite type of music and favorite decades of music. As someone who grew up on grunge and alternative in the 90’s I was surprised to find that the SongPop 2 playlists include artists and songs that are instantly recognizable — even though I’m no musical expert.

The SongPop 2 app is free, but there are options to buy new playlists in the game. We’ll show you what’s important to know about SongPop 2, help you with SongPop 2 tips and tricks and outline why you should connect to Facebook or an email address.

Here are the important things that players need to know about SongPop 2, the latest name that tune style game for iPhone. Although the original SongPop is on Android, there is no SongPop 2 Android download yet and we don’t know when a SongPop 2 Android release date is planned.

When you choose an opponent you’ll go through five songs with the computer or with an opponent. The faster you pick the more points you get, but if you guess wrong you don’t get any points. If you have no idea it is often better to wait for more of the song to play so that you can hear a clue in the lyrics.

There are a variety of playlists by genre and decade so that you can pick those that you are most familiar with. Many of the songs start at a chorus or a well-known part so that you have a better chance of guessing.

Winning at SongPop 2 isn’t just about being a musical genius. You can use some of the SongPop 2 tips and tricks below to score higher and beat your opponents. Although these come from the original game, they still apply to the new version of the game. Ronald NG of SiteCore shares these, and many other important SongPop tips on Quora.

  • Relax: the brain’s ability to recall music is automatic and instinctive  you either know it or you don’t. If you do, your brain doesn’t ‘think’ about it. I’ve found the more I relax, the faster my response times. Just don’t relax too much that your mind starts to wander. Oh, and hit the right answer,this is really important.
  • Scan don’t read: if you don’t know the basics of speed reading, this is something worth looking up. People who have had practice at eliminating @Subvocalization have a head start on playlists like ‘Duets’ where you have four answers like ‘Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes‘.
  • Instincts: trust them. If you get to about 2 seconds and you’re undecided between a couple, and you don’t want to use a powerup, hit the first one you thought was right.
  • Use headphones: the song gets to your ears faster and it blocks out distractions. Just don’t forget to feed your kids/dog/husbands.

Like with any fast paced game, we suggest taking a break between sessions to reset. It’s important to strike the right balance between waiting for a lyric that gives the song away and guessing with your gut.

18 Best Apps to Waste Time (2020)

Baseball Boy

Baseball Boy is a great time waster game because it only takes a few seconds to play one turn, so you can use it e en when you only have a minute or two to wait in line. 

This is a timing game. You tap to swing the bat when it is lined up in the center of the arc to get a perfect hit. Each hit earns you points that you can spend towards strength, speed, bounciness and offline earnings. 

I love that I can keep coming back to this game when I have a few minutes to kill and after a few turns I can increase my stats and go a little further the next time. There's a little strategy to it, but for the most part it's a great little distracting game. 

Free on iPhone & Android

    Have another tip, after playing it for 3 years. Learn to listen to the lyrics! I’ve turned off opponents guess long time ago, since I prefer to not be interferred with it. But I don’t know shit about new music/country/rap, so I try pay attention to what the 10 seconds of song is about. In 60 % of the cases, I guess correct

    I am getting frustrated! I can’t send messages from my Samsung 4 phone. There isn’t a send button. Funny thing is when I had regular Songpop, I was able to chat then. Please let me know how I can send messages. Thanks.
