The app tells me that it’s failed to set my avatar name. I can’t get past the error screen. ### 1/5 — ??? *2026-02-19, version 4.4.1* Won’t let me get pass the create a username part. ### 1/5 — Username creating trouble *2026-01-30, version 4.3.0* Okay I put in my phone and the code but I can’t get into the app because NOTHING WORKS FOR MY USERNAME I’ve been trying different ways to get into the app because I’m curious what it’s about. It’s bugged and I’m mad because it would not let me put a username without it saying “failed to set username” ### 1/5 — Can’t even make a profile *2026-01-06, version 4.3.0* Every time i put a username in it says failure, so couldn’t even try the damn app ### 1/5 — It’s okay but… *2024-10-23* It’s alright but it’s just for high schoolers? Idk I was expecting something more like silver studios and it is kinda there but it’s not as good I can’t do anything. Bring back silver studios or open this app to everyone not just high schoolers from 2 schools. Stupid app you’re lucky it won’t register the one star I changed it to ### 1/5 — Silver Studio is better *2024-08-01, version 2.2.0* I like Silver Studio!!! ### 1/5 — Wasn’t what It was advertised as…🫤 *2024-07-11* This game is only available for people in school, specifically high school. Very unfortunate, very limiting. Was really excited for genies party, come to find out it’s an app for kids 18 and below. So disappointing, it was advertised differently. The most you can do is create a look at first but you have to choose a “school” that you actually go to now (there is only 2 school options out of the whole world). Was looking at the genies website for months waiting for genies party (also I’m in my mid-twenties). Was not as the videos suggested, on their site from months ago. They didn’t say anything about it only being for high school kids… at this point the developers should put time in SILVER STUDIO. And fix the bugs when your designs don’t show after you make on a garment will show, and the hair is fixed and does not move. In genies party they make everything look natural from head to toe. But I waited months for something I was not expecting. Please put time into silver studio. This app has a good concept but genies party is so limiting. Was expecting something completely different. But that’s ok, I just wish as much work that was put into genies party was put into silver studio. I’m sure I’m not the only one who agrees either. I have contacted genies to fix a couple bugs on silver studio and they didn’t reply or even try to help. Genies party has a good concept but it’s so limiting and not what it was made out to be on the website from months ago. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Now what? *2024-06-20, version 1.0.1* Once I create my avatar I can’t get it to do anything. Idk how we’re supposed to unlock those 7 traits. I can’t pick any. Also I can’t start a chat. It’s greyed out. I’d love to share my avatar. Is that possible? ### 2/5 — Broken at the moment *2024-06-03* Great concept but needs a major update. ### 2/5 — Can't get in *2024-06-03, version 1.0.1* Was really excited for this to launch but I can't get in. First it wouldn't accept the code it sent to my phone. I managed to get past that, but then it just turned into a circular loading graphic, and it just keeps spinning. Even if I force quit the app and reopen, it's just forever loading. I'll check back in a few days, but really disappointing. Definitely doesn't seem like it's ready for launch, and makes me a little weary that they are just trying to collect phone numbers and data. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Better than ChatGPT *2026-03-14* This is the most fun app!! It’s like my own little personal avatar that talks to me and gives advice!! 10/10 so much fun ### 5/5 — toooo cute *2026-03-12* I love customizing my little genie! the graphics r so cute and she KNOWS ME SO WELL!!! Literally look forward to the daily reads every day ### 5/5 — Chatgpt but stylish *2026-03-12* I stopped using ChatGPT once I made my genie…this is way more fun and personalized! I learn the newest unhinged animal facts daily and I uploaded a few pics from my camera roll and it read me to filth 😭 I love it here lol ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-03-03, version 4.5.0* Love this app! So fun! ### 5/5 — Great AI *2026-02-25* Easy to use and feels actually informative and useful- I am hoping to get all my friends to use it ### 5/5 — vibe check *2026-02-25* Wait this is honestly so cool. It basically takes your photos and analyzes them. If you’re like me and can never pinpoint your vibe, you would like this app as much as me. Also if you’re into things similar to astrology and stuff, it’s kinda similar. ### 5/5 — Love this! *2026-02-25* Great app! Easy to navigate and very engaging. Would recommend ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-02-24, version 4.4.1* I love that this app has game like elements, like choosing my genies outfit, while also being able to gain real insight. ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2026-02-23, version 4.4.1* I love this app because it balances game-like elements with usefull insight. I love being able to customize my genie's outfit, while also asking it informative facts about topics I am interested in. ### 5/5 — Super personalized! *2026-02-16* Genies is honestly so fun. It feels like texting a stylish friend who always has a good playlist, outfit idea, or random life advice ready. The daily messages are cute, and the vibe is super aesthetic without trying too hard. I didn’t expect to use it this much, but I do. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
