### 4/5 — This is a great game, hope for more superhero roles

*2026-08-21, version 1.8*

I really enjoy playing this game my favourite personally are the superhero roles, but I do still experience bugs where for a box office numbers it sometimes for a role I play just comes up with NaNM so it does bad so that does need to get fix, and i hope of it gets another update there will be more superhero roles like members of the X men and fantastic for marvel and even playing as supervillains in marvel and DC

### 2/5 — Functionality Issues

*2026-08-15, version 1.8*

Could be good, but MAJOR functionality issues. Can’t click to X off ads, can’t click on notifications/events for filming, can’t click on reviews, etc.

### 5/5 — movie production problem

*2026-08-08, version 1.8*

hey, i’m absolutely loving your game i just have one issue that’s definitely a little angering. i cannot seem to promote films that i start making, it never gives me a option to promote my film while making it !

### 3/5 — Energy

*2026-08-02, version 1.8*

I recently got a sponsorship deal from a local business (a grocery store) and one of a stipulations is to do a photoshoot that costs 75 energy. I lowered my hours from my part time job to 25 hrs (25 energy) and it says I get 100 energy a week but I only maxed out at 65 each week. I just wish there was a way to see where your energy is going towards each week and that you could use left over energy you didn’t use from the previous week and have it cap at 100. Really cool game that I could play for hours other than this situation!!

### 4/5 — Awesome Game to spend hours on

*2026-07-26, version 1.8*

More Updates needed But fantastic little game!! Great to spend hours on, not too easy at the beginning, you can level up through starting a family and taking over this character tho. Loads of mini games thought the game to keep you entertained and learn to master, from; buying land and prperty, starting clothing brands, starting other businesses like cafes, sponsorship deals, starting your own production company and making movies….however there are some flaws with these, the making movies or tv shows is a waste for example as you can never make a good movie whether you spend £3m or £300m. Love the IMD app to see your movies rating and money made, always find a new thing you can spend energy on…recently i found you can improve relationships when working on movies which makes a better movie or show, buying land to build houses or hotels etc etc. Love the game and all features but there are flaws with making production company better, making businesses better as some you can make 100m on (like the clothing company) and some never make any money on (like cafes, although i age t. spent too much time on houses and hotels but when i have, these are enjoyable too). Just need to fix some of these updates and i think it will be one of the best games playable on a phone ever!!! Good work to the makers of this game!!

### 3/5 — Solid game

*2026-07-21, version 1.8*

I enjoy playing this game. It can get pretty deep and I like how you can have your own businesses and make your own movies. My gripes are with the relationships, production company and the overall box office results. Relationships can die pretty quickly I think that is hard to keep up with especially if you have limited energy. It’s not worth having multiple friends and family because you’ll spend all your energy keeping those relationships at a high level.

The production company is frustrating because your self funding it but you have no real support and it seems impossible to make a small film because your budget can sky rocket just from setting up production houses and set locations. 

Lastly when I look at other films that are released I see them making big box office numbers and the movies aren’t even rated higher than my own films. Yet when a movie I’m in drops it’s barely breaking even or not at all. I’ve had more success with tv shows than movies. This all may be emulating how it really is in Hollywood but I’ve played two careers with maxed out stats and I’m still don’t feel like a superstar even though the game says that I am. I feel like I’m constantly in grind mode. Also I think the awards needs a revamping too. Also how can our actor get big time salary requirements like some of the other in game actors. Some of them have high salaries and also getting movie royalties. At this rate I’m not sure if we can ever get to that level unless I’m just not playing the game right. Also networking isn’t very good, there’s no chance of connecting with anyone in that section of the game.  Thank you

### 5/5 — Can you make get contacts easier to get

*2026-07-13, version 1.8*

And the game is good and I get some tv shows and they don’t give me a contract and movies never get a sequel it get canceled and the ad it enclosable I have to close the app and get in game can you fix it the game really good

### 1/5 — Oh my gosh

*2026-07-11, version 1.8*

So I download this app thinking that I would actually be doing real acting but no

### 3/5 — Too ptw but extremely fun also to many bugs

*2026-07-06, version 1.8*

To the devs, this game is awesome good work, one change I recomend is making some more stuff free! Also can a dev tell even with maxed out rating why I can’t get high rating on movies. This is another edit I am dropping a star because there are many bugs. One, sometimes the related genres doesn’t work I don’t get the related genre boost that I am supposed to get. The main bug that really affects me is the fact that sometimes the universe contract shows and movies just disappear and I can’t get an opportunity for the universe shows and movies. Please fix this pleaseeeeeee.

### 4/5 — i love the game and the actor side is very good. but..

*2026-07-03, version 1.8*

i love the acting in it but when i’m completely maxed out on my character i should basically be preforming 10s like nearly every time otherwise what’s the point in a max character. other than that the film and series making is IMPOSSIBLE you can’t hire anyone good without reputation and can’t make reputation without hiring anyone good. it’s impossible to progress. there not much help in game to show how to progress none online. i just wanna be a film maker but i can’t. please reply and acknowledge this.
