Hello all, this feature has been discontinued in the latest app version. Please feel free to leave your comments and thoughts below.
We get a lot of people asking us about this as a result of the SongPop 2.2 release that introduced Fast Gameplay. This is a setting that causes there to be no space between songs so that they flow together and speed up your games. This gameplay feature is the standard speed matches are now played

The update obviously changed ALL play to FASTPLAY then also removed from the user the ability to choose between the two. So, those of us that had it turned off are now forced to use it.
THE ANSWER ABOVE IS INCORRECT. SONGPOP NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ASAP.
I'm not sure why the decision to make the game fast play only, but it was a terrible one. fast play is annoying and not enjoyable at all. Please update the game to allow users a choice. I used to love playing, but if fast play is the only option, my option will be to stop playing
This is the worst possible thing happening to this game. It losts its appeal thanks to a thoughtless change, the game play is now terrible. I used to play roughly 100 games daily, with the fastplay i would get migraine after 5 games. Please consider finding a fix. Thank you
I agree with everyone Fast Play is awful and the instructions given to turn it off do not work. Hoping this will be fixed soon or I will remove my VIP status and quit playing.
Fast play is absolutely horrible! If it is not removed or the option to go back to Classic play reinstated I will be canceling my VIP and uninstalling this app. I love SongPop but cannot stand the merging songs!
I will have to stop playing if I can't disable fast play
Have played song pop for 6 years (since the beginning) and LOVE it. However, it's quite difficult to guess a song by it's name or group when the previous song is still playing, ugh!
Please fix this or I will be forced to stop playing (sad) and stop paying my VIP status,(that also became much more expensive, but I didn't complain about that, in a forum)
I just went through the App store and left a one star review for the reasons we have all listed. I have played this game for over 5 years and pay more for VIP status every month than I do for the app that tracks my kids locations! I hate this fast gameplay. And the article is incorrect; there is no way to toggle it on or off like it used to be. I will give them a bit of time to push out an update to take care of it and then I am out of here.
I tells me how to fix but I don’t find it to take off of 2.1 can someone over just do it without messing up my games and friends I have now songs overlapping always enjoyed
There is no button to turn of fast play..songpop you need to get your finger out and sort this out or you will have no players left .....I will delete if this does not change..we don’t like FAST PLAY !!!!!!!
Echo everyone else's concerns - there is no way to turn off fastplay with this new version. Quitting Song Pop for a while until a fix is put in for this bug. Very frustrating.
I am going to quit playing if you can’t come up with a fix to stop fast play. These instructions don’t work. I have no button to toggle off Hate fastplay
I emailed about fast play as wasnt able to switch it off they replied saying it was fixed but clearly not as all week I've not been able to play this game and after 6years of playing feel very let down. Change isn't always good. Please fix sooner rather than later
The instructions you’ve given for turning off fast play SONGPOP are NOT on my settings page.
Please let me know how to switch this off
Thanks
Well I just checked and still no option to disable fast play - from hero to zero - why say you have reinstated classic play when you haven’t. Won’t play thus awful fast game - you need to dismiss the software developers- and the person that asked them to remove classic play - clowns
Blimey, what a decision to make! I hated the Fastplay when it came out a while ago but at least you could switch it off. Why not bring it back to befroe that...when the option wasn't even there?!
At least give us the choice. This had been my favourite game for years but now........I hate it this way and cannot stay focussed.
I really hope you listen to your players group. I am going to cancel my VIP membership and I hope you will wake up and do something soon!
There is no setting to turn off fast play as you described. Please fix. You are losing a lot of players. From the words of Jigsaw..."Game Over."
Pareil il n’y a aucun moyen de choisir ou pas the fast’play et aucun moyen de jouer sur l’ancienne version . Vite corrigez !!!!!!!
My songs are over lapping and then it locks up how do I fix this?
How l do l turn off fast play lm not liking this game how it over laps l’ve been playing this for years and it’s disappointing that l can’t play SongPop like l used too
3 days ago I got an email response saying that this was the way the game was going to be from now on. In order to give us a better game experience, they had to take off the option to toggle fast play. Unbelievable! They said they were having too many issues the other way. I never had any issues with the toggle switch so I don't know what they're talking about. It's too bad we'll all have to quit playing!!
Awful feature. I stopped playing when it first came in until I found out how to disable it. It is really distracting trying to guess the next song when the previous one rolls into it!!
I hate fastplay so much. A year and a half ago I would have been thrilled that they finally updated the platform for Facebook. Now it just makes me want to quit altogether.
Let me know when overlapping stops.
Thanks
Totally agree with all of the complaints/concerns above. I have kept my iPad locked onto iOS 11.3 since last summer (2018) specifically to stay with a version of Songpop that would let me continue to use the classic, non-overlapping version. Day after tomorrow I am getting my iPad replaced by Apple (that's the good news), but the new one will be using iOS 12, and there's no way to downgrade it to iOS 11.3. So while I was able to stay with the Classic Songplay option for a year longer than most people, my time runs out on Monday. Which means Monday is the day I discontinue my Songpop paid subscription after 7 years and 1 month. Man, this is such a great example of a company that does well and then totally ignores material feedback from their most frequent paid users. Very, very disappointing. Oh well...the upside is, I'm going to get 7–10 hours/week back into my life. (....but I'd rather be able to play Songpop.)
Can’t stand this new SongPop. Cannot change from fast play.
You can’t toggle the fast play option on and off. They have eliminated the switch so everyone has to play in fast play mode or not at all. Also it seems as though the people who created the app couldn’t care less about making their loyal players happy bc they will not address us by replying to our concerns at all! I no longer play it myself but I will make damn sure that they don’t forget us and this thread will continue so any and all players who come for help will see they are not alone. Shame on Songpop for lying to us in the first place and not doing anything to help remedy the situation with fast play.
Can only agree with all the other comments, overlapping songs is massively annoying and distracting and I have no idea why you would make it the default setting. Please bring the old option back, or I (and many others!) will be off.
The instructions given to turn off fast play ARE NOT there! Please help I want it turned off!!
SPop has made some very poor choices in song selections, programming, art design and colors, duplicating badge awards, etc but this one takes the eclair cake. Congrats on a new low.
