SongPop Classic is fun to play, but it's built for solo, not group night. It made my list of the best trivia and game night apps with a 3 out of 5 as a pick for solo music trivia.

How SongPop Classic works

SongPop Classic has you pick from free playlists sorted by genre, then answer five multiple-choice song questions against another player. Whoever answers fastest wins the round. You can challenge other people, and I was even challenged to an R&B playlist.

I loved every single song suggestion that came up in my playlist.

Fun to play, but built for solo

“I actually had a really fun time playing this game, but I have to say it's more of a solo than a group activity.”

Jessica Santero, WhistleOut Writer

I went with a 2014 pop playlist and had a lot of hits from Maroon 5 and Meghan Trainor where I had to identify the singer, then took on an R&B playlist after that. I won every challenge sent my way, for what it's worth, and had a good time doing it.

Not sure how to update your apps?

Keeping your apps up to date ensures you're always getting the latest features, bug fixes, and security improvements. Learn how to update the apps on your iPhone and your Android. It takes less time than you think.

The catch: You can't link phones for one shared game

You can't link multiple phones together for one shared game, which rules it out for an in-person game night with your friends and family.

Is SongPop Classic worth downloading?

If you want something to pass the time solo, it's a reasonable download. If you're looking for something fun to do while alone at the bar, this is definitely something entertaining. Just don't expect it to work as a group activity. SongPop Classic is free and available for iOS and Android.

How I evaluated SongPop Classic

I judged each app on whether it actually gets a group playing in the same room, not just whether it looks good in a store listing. Here's what I looked for:

Setup time: Can everyone jump in within a minute, or does someone have to walk the group through the rules first?
Group-friendliness: Is this actually built for a room full of people, or does it work better solo or against strangers online?
Ads and monetization: Does the free version interrupt the game, or does it stay out of the way?
Content quality: Are the categories and packs actually appropriate for a mixed group, including public or user-submitted content?
