I really love this game and have started playing this during November 2020. I am not really far into the game so I might be missing some bugs and things but I will share what I have so far. The levels are really nice and can be a bit challenging sometimes but that’s the point of the game. This game also reminds me of this other game called ‘Love Nikki Dress-Up Queen’ and I loved that game a lot so that’s why I also like this game. The cards are very nice too and all of the members look so cute and handsome and I also like how the 5 star cards can move. Speaking of 5 star cards, there’s also a slight problem with that. It’s very difficult to get 5 star cards, no matter how many times you try. I’ve been playing this game for over 2 months but I’ve only gotten 3 five star member cards. You get a free 5 star member card when you start playing the game but as you go on and try to get another one, it’s very hard. I think you should give players a higher chance to get 5 star member cards. Not too much of a chance but enough so that we won’t complain about it like this. But other than that, so far, this game is very good and keep up the good work Netmarble and BTS!! ### 5/5 — MY FAVORITE GAME 💜💜💜 *2020-06-24, version 1.8.2* I love this game so much. It’s definitely a must have for army’s lol. You get to collect super cute cards of all the members. You also get to style the members clothes. As well as fake text, call, and video chat them they game makes it feel pretty real which is so cute especially on days when you’re feeling down. You also get to collect photos and videos of them and download them and they’re super high quality. You also get to follow a journey of their career that’s very close to how it really was but this time you are the manager. They also have alternate story lines for each member. Each story and level is super cute and wholesome. I play it everyday. You can also add other army’s on the game and send them gifts. There is also a platform you can put message on and other things just like regular social media. They have everything you need and it’s super cute with great background music music. I also love how they add extra gameplay for holidays or bts anniversaries. Play the game it’s free and so fun and you can connect with Army’s around the world in a cute and simple way. And RM has posted about playing it often lol 😂 ### 4/5 — I love the game BUT *2020-05-19, version 1.7.2* Please fix your draw rates. I have been playing since the game launched and I’m not joking when I say I spent hundreds on this game (and still do) and didn’t even get another five star besides the free one you’re given at the beginning until roughly 6-7 months (maybe even longer, I’m pretty sure it was) after I started playing. My rates are slightly better now but the amount of money I spend on gems just to get nothing constantly, then have to work for all of my five stars from events and purple box is a crappy. I need so many five stars still and I keep landing doubles.... do better please. If you’re going to have people spending money at least make it worth it. I won’t stop playing.. yet.. Bc I’m invested not only in time played, but all the money I have spent and continue to spend. Do I have to spend money?? No, of course not, but to not spend money means you’re screwed even more so. Please fix this.. I love this game and I am getting very close to stopping playing. I pay for VIP and both daily gem packs monthly. I am trying really hard to stick with this game. But if I keep getting screwed over and wasting money I will have to give up. Overall the game is amazing and I love everything else. Just stop making so many things near impossible to do. ### 1/5 — App Crash is Annoying *2020-04-27, version 1.7.2* Honestly when I gave my first review, me giving this app two stars was beyond hopeful. But now I have to knock this down to one. I don’t care if this is BTS related, it does not excuse the app. It is so annoying that you have to wait for updates just so you can play the game. This app isn’t stable at all. It crashes each time media has to play and also if it does play media, when you next do a card challenge, it crashes which makes you lose a turn plus wings. Not to mention it you use a 5 star card during events, it crashes the first time it plays again making you lose a turn plus wings. Sometimes if you inspect your downloaded resources, media does play a little bit but it still ends up crashing. The Another Story you may be able to get through but the Main story, the one you want to play, if the media doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter, you’re stuck practically until there is an update and this app doesn’t update as much as others. The gameplay is actually okay but please, if there is anything you can do in terms of app stability, that would actually be so helpful. Otherwise after awhile, there is no point in this app other than you leveling up cards during the long periods of time you can’t even actually play. ### 2/5 — Beautiful but tedious *2020-03-30, version 1.7.1* This is an interactive system of rules with a glossy (haha!Gloss!) facade that draws fans in. If you consider an “interactive system of rules” a fun game as long as it’s pretty, this is for you. For me, a gamer, I need Agency in my storytelling. But they give you choices during convos, you say? Maybe 10% of the time, and those choices really don’t affect the story. It is a linear trajectory. That would be fine if the gameplay was more than deck building and constant grinding to level up. It’s so tedious that you will want to purchase items. I haaaate games that are free but only bearable to play if you buy rare items, but I’ve played some that are far superior. And the “game” you are playing to level? Math. Adding up the most basic card stats, that are arbitrarily huge numbers for some reason, to pass level requirements. At some point you plateau, in my experience, and can’t proceed unless you pay. I have been grinding for freaking 3 months, to buff the characters 4 for more levels and 3for acct, and I still can’t pass ch. 8. You’ll prob laugh at me if you know a secret. But the only reason I am doing this is to get through all the other world storylines. That makes this really annoying and time consuming fanfic. ### 5/5 — BTS WORLD is awesome, but could use some new things. *2020-02-24, version 1.5.1* Honestly I got this game when it came out and I’ve loved it. I’m a fanboy of BTS and I love their music. It’s really helped me for sure. Some people don’t understand it or can’t connect with the music, which is okay. Kpop is lit. 😎😁🤙🏼🔥 Now for some changes.. I’m stuck in chapter 8 and I have 5 star cards and still can’t get past it. I’m close, yet so far. There should be a better way to keep progressing through the story. I haven’t bought anything and it shouldn’t be a pay method to keep going. Also, the leveling system could be changed and rewards too. Maybe a big update sometime? Idk. Plus, there should be a section to communicate with other ARMY. Like a messaging system or something. Be cool to talk and gift items when we want. Also, the limited timed events barely give you enough time to reach the 5 star cards.. You should be able to get at least one somehow. I’ve wrote a novel, but this game is great.. It just needs a big update on stuff in my opinion. Much love to BTS & ARMY. 💜💜💜 MAP OF THE SOUL 7. 😊✌🏼💞🤍✨ ### 5/5 — Have patience *2019-08-29, version 1.0.4* First off I’m not a young fan. Just love BTS and their music and dancing and the hard work they put in. I actually don’t like much Kpip. Regarding other comments about inappropriate or “creepy?” Content. I’m pretty sure BTS members would never have allowed use of content or storylines they didn’t approve of. I think if you’re getting flirtatious or creepy feedback maybe you’re not answering the questions in a mature fashion. I don’t know because I only answer as an older female. Perhaps my own demographics didn’t trigger younger questions. It’s a hard game. It’s good to multitask, have a good memory and bring your calculator or be able to add well. I find the pace for restoring wings too slow. I get annoyed with the time to exchange the level one cards. There are tricks you have to figure out. Sorry not giving any spoilers. But you have to remember it’s a game and not take it too seriously. That said I do really enjoy playing it for over an hour everyday. I wouldn’t recommend it for under 16 but I know BTS has a huge young female following. They do deal with controversial issues but BTS has never skirted around those facts. That’s life. I would hope fans have healthy lives and don’t develop eating disorders or self harm problems. With the sheer numbers of people they influence. That’s not possible as long as BTS is BTS. ### 5/5 — Just one complaint *2019-08-15, version 1.0.4* Overall the game is amazing the quality is great and a lot of the stuff you need for the game like wings,gems,coins, and exp are easily accessible there’s easy ways to get more the only one that is hard to obtain would be the gifts to recover the boys from agency tasks and the only way you can get them is by playing the levels without having to buy them. I’ll play the levels so many times and still not get a gift and even when I do it’s not the gift I need for a specific member. I just wish there where other ways to get gifts but the game is fantastic otherwise I encourage people to try out this app (edit) I figured out that you can get more gifts playing the individual story lines wished I would’ve figured that out earlier😅 Also a lot of people were complaining about how they designed the groups personalities to be but they clearer state in the beginning that actions and characteristics the memebers show in the game do not pertain to them in real life this is a fictional game after all ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-08-14, version 1.0.4* This is one of my favorite games, challenging but fun and addictive to play. However I do think it would be better to have a more variety of choices, and for you to make choices more often and affect the game more. Also, there’s a bug for me, maybe not anyone else but, I can’t send wings to my friends. Normally people open the “friends” section at this plus sign symbol, but when I press that button, only 3 options appear when there’s supposed to be 4...maybe I’m stupid? Last thing, to the other players, the names are NOT spelled wrong, maybe even more accurately. For example, yoongi (the way we normally spell it) is yunki, which is actually pretty much the same thing but a more korean romanization. “U” in Korean makes the “oo” sound, and g and k could be the same letter. And they spell jungkook as jeongguk, eo makes the “uh” sound, g and k are again the same letter, and in Korean you do pronounce the “oo” sound in the name, instead of us stupid Americans making it “uh”. Sorry if information is inaccurate, I just started learning korean. ### 5/5 — Love the game but keeps crashing *2019-08-10, version 1.0.4* Ever since the update a couple days ago (to add chapter 7 and the summer event), the game keeps crashing every time I try to do anything! I complete agency activities then it crashes when I try to assign the guys to new agency tasks. I try to do a level, I “pay” my wings and as I pick the cards, game crashes and when I log back on, my wings are gone and I don’t have any flowers or coins or other prizes. When I try to do a summer level, it crashes too in the middle of picking cards. I’ve checked my phone storage because I heard you should free up phone space to make better playing and I have about half my storage available (64 gig phone so 34 gigs free space) and I’m still having issues. I was fine before the update and now I keep crashing. I keep playing because I know the summer thing is just for like two weeks but I’m getting frustrated this happens! I love this game and want to continue playing but the crashing isn’t helping at all. Any suggestions would be welcome! Maybe a patch or something can be done to help fix the crashing?? ## Frequently asked questions about BTS WORLD ### What is BTS WORLD?
