### 4/5 — Do not play if you have epilepsy or get nausea from flashing lights

*2026-09-08, version v2.16.2*

I love this game so much. You can decorate your room and customize your avatar as well as play Lofi music and sounds. Only problem is that you can only have one room at a time, so if you want a new room then say goodbye to your old one. however they fix this with the fact you can be in little pre made areas with either strangers or friends. They have been adding nice updates like a collab with the Cosmic Princess Kaguya anime and occasional new stuff for your room and avatar. But here is the frustration part about this app, if you move your device from one way to another to do things like start a timer and stuff the game will glitch out and will severely flicker. I play a lot of games with flashing lights so the fact that this glitch 1.) hasn’t been fixed in the year that I’ve had this app 2.) makes me almost throw up every time. Is honestly so sad. Some days I can’t even use the app cause it won’t work due to this glitch.
Overall I would just say until the devs hopefully fix this just use a different app or use YouTube. It’s not worth it if you have bad nausea or even worse are epileptic cause this could give you a seizure….
(DEVS IF YOUR READING THIS PLEASE FIX THIS IN THE NEXT UPDATE I LOVE THIS APP)

### 3/5 — Gogh ideas and how I feel about the game

*2026-08-22, version v2.16.1*

Hi! I love y’all’s game so far. I loved designing my person and my room. AND OMG WHEN I FOUND THE PLANT SECTION!!!But.. it gets boring quickly when you’re done with those two things..  yall should make it where we can go out to places and shop maybe try on clothes in a clothing store. Or go to a park and sit down or walk around and meet new pets or bugs and can catch the bugs and display them in our rooms in cages or frames!! And maybe a pet store!!! So we can buy new pets to take home like real birds in cages and not the fake one. Like maybe some parakeets and things AND HAMSTERS!!!!!!! More cats and maybe even dogs. Maybe even let us go to a library and check out books or read them in the library and when we pick a book it not just our character reading them but we can read what’s in the book and flip through it!!!! Please think on my ideas I think it would make y’all’s game a MILLION THOUSAND TIMES BETTER AND FUNNER!!!!! Maybe let us do things on the electronics instead of customizing them and then nothing eles but look at them..

### 3/5 — Bug issue

*2026-08-19, version v2.16.1*

I just downloaded the app for studies, clicked on it after downloading and it just pops up a white screen and kicks me out the app everytime I click on it. Please fix this bug it would be much help to your app and also users that might want to use it, it’s a bit annoying that the bug is still there after a week of “bug fixes” thank you for reading.

### 3/5 — Fix this problem

*2026-08-19, version v2.16.1*

I love gogh I have fun but I hate that after a while or the next day some photos then disappear it’s tiring for me to always having to keep fixing it and stuff I really help you notice this review delovopers fix this as soon as possible.

### 4/5 — Amazing potential, but needs some bug fixing

*2026-07-30, version v2.16.0*

This is a great app for focusing as well as managing screen time.
It’s also very fun to decorate your avatar’s room.
One of the only kinks I’ve come across is that there is some geometry glitching when you’re first making your avatar or when I place decorations in certain spots; it’s kind of off putting and messes with the otherwise great vibe and atmosphere of the app.
Speaking of atmosphere, the controls for environmental sounds are good, and the lo-fi songs it plays do in fact have NO ADS, which I am quite pleased about, and the songs are good quality as well with the diverse range of tracks to choose from.

### 4/5 — GREAT GAME!! but…

*2026-07-29, version v2.15.1*

Idk if it’s just my game but for some reason each time I opened the game it will load in and everything would be good for 1 minute ,but then it will start flashing uncontrollably, and I cannot move my screen at all. I tried restarting the app and it doesn’t work :( . So for anyone who has epilepsy do not play this game right now. But I have played this game before the flashing started and it is a pretty good game! I guess so. It’s really disappointing that I can’t even play it . :(

### 4/5 — great

*2026-07-24, version v2.15.1*

when u place something accidentally outside the game gets stuck keep having to reset my progress of the build.

### 4/5 — Nice!

*2026-07-16, version v2.15.1*

When I open up YouTube, I see hundreds of videos saying that their lofi has no ads. That’s false. Every minute, they have an advertisement. I tried so many apps that had lofi with no ads, from Sleepa, to Spotify… Every one had ads! Then I remembered this app. I downloaded it and was surprised at how many features that are in this app! It’s like my lofi needs in one app! Plus: There are NO ADS! I can finally sleep in peace!

### 2/5 — deleted my account???

*2026-07-06, version v2.15.1*

so i hadn't used the app since maybe like, May i think? today i went to log in with google but to my surprise, my account was just GONE. I dunno if it wad a different google account or something but the only google account that was available was the one i tried to sign in with :(((

### 2/5 — Loss of Room Progress

*2026-07-02, version v2.15.1*

Although the customization is good, after 24 hours of finishing my room, nearly all my images reset and the only ones I still had as stickers remained. It took me hours to decorate the room, so it’s obvious as to why this is an issue.

### 4/5 — I really like it so far!! :)

*2026-06-29, version v2.15.1*

I actually really like this app!! Its really good for focusing and relaxing while doing something you enjoy! I also like that they added a to-do list feature, i just thought that it was a nice detail. I really love the character and room customisation, there is quite a good range of outfits you can make with the given clothes and accessories which is nice! I love the design and style of the whole app, its overall quite good. 

There are a few things that i think are a bit lacking…

1. I think there should be a widget for mobile! Maybe it could display the to-do list or some other feature that could be added. I just think it would be very useful.

2. The app can sometimes lag a little bit which i know cannot be helped some of the time but i think that some optimisations should be thought about. 

3. Although i had said there is a good range of clothing, i think for a player that has used the app for a long time the clothing choices could be a little lacking sometimes. I think adding regular updates to the game’s library of items could be good!

4. I think there should be more rooms to enjoy because i really like the concept of having lots of different spaces to visit. Maybe a room could be inspired by different areas around the world, i think that would be so cool. Or perhaps some kind of seasonal event that would be different depending on the time of year!! 

…
Even though there are a few things i believe should be added, i do very much enjoy this app!! Its very calming and cute, i really do love it!! 

Overall very good!!

### 2/5 — It’s fine

*2026-06-22, version v2.15.1*

When I was making my avatar, the app crashed out of literally nowhere. When I got back into the app, it just wouldn’t load past the loading screen

### 3/5 — It’s not loading

*2026-06-19, version v2.15.1*

I downloaded it and it’s not loading,what should I do now?:(

### 4/5 — WHY IS THIS SO UNDERRATED!?

*2026-06-14, version v2.15.1*

Everything about this app is like PERFECT??? It’ss so pretty and it really helps me stay motivated to draw and write and finish commissions/projects. THE AVATAR AND ROOM EDITOR THINGS ARE SO PEAK TOO. I would rlly like if we cld save rooms/avatars tho

### 4/5 — Amazing game!

*2026-06-12, version v2.15.1*

I’ve been playing gogh for a few months now, and i really enjoy it. I mostly use it to create my character and bedroom. The only thing i think needs to be changed is the mysticker limit. There’s a limit to 50 stickers, but i think that there should be atleast 100. Other than that, this game is great! Also, i think there should be a option to make custom pets and more clothing and decoration options.

### 2/5 — Good run but got nerfed

*2026-06-09, version v2.15.1*

Lots of functions with this app on Mac aren’t that optimal…but I still enjoyed using this app: making my character (with limited options), building my room, and being able to see how much time I had spent studying with this app. The updates all didn’t really improve the app for Macs at all, but never made it worse either. However, the most recent update destroyed all my progress. It logged me out and wouldn’t let me log back in (unknown reason?), so everything is gone. Likely no longer going to use this app…was nice while it lasted.

### 2/5 — Pls I want the developor to fix this

*2026-06-08, version v2.15.0*

It kicked me out and I can't log back in and I'm was about it :( 追い出されて再ログインできず、とても悲しいです :(

### 4/5 — Loading screen?

*2026-06-06, version v2.15.0*

I love this app a bunch, but recently I can’t get past the loading screen! I’ve noticed many other people are also having this problem! Other than that it’s a good app! I would recommend letting people have multiple characters on mobile though!

### 3/5 — Cute but glitchy

*2026-05-30, version v2.14.1*

I personally find this game relaxing and great for studying. However, it often crashes and flickers repeatedly- lots of flashing lights and stuff

### 4/5 — I wish I could have more than one character

*2026-05-28, version v2.14.1*

the designs and mods are so cute, i wish i could make more!! instead i have two separate accounts for it, which works, but is kinda annoying 😢 i just love the aesthetics of the app and wish i could do more with it

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even open

*2026-08-14, version v2.16.1*

I’ve tried to download this app several times in the past 2 years or so. Every time it either freezes on a white screen, displays an error, or crashes immediately upon opening. It simply doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Wish

*2026-07-30, version v2.16.0*

The app crashed like crazy! For a static game, Gogh needs too much ram to run! It's a mobile game! Disconnection gets worse after each update, please consider it, thank you.

### 1/5 — ❗️ loading issues

*2026-06-07, version v2.15.0*

Used to love using the app but now it wont load past the start screen, and on one device it can’t even open the app. It used to be good, but I sincerely don’t recommend getting it unless you want to waste time.

### 1/5 — Crashes immediately when I open the app

*2026-05-28, version v2.14.1*

I have used this app when it was relatively new and it worked okay but now it immediately crashes when I try opening it. Please fix this or stop supporting older devices

### 5/5 — Update idea please!

*2026-08-18, version v2.16.1*

I love this game so much 5 stars! It's actually good nothing bad! I love decorating and my avatar Gabriela lives in GOG-H55 in the countryside of Busan Korea and she has long Rapunzel hair, baby pink boots, reads books like Wonder and Dork Diaries, does crunches, meditates by the rainy sunset window! It's so cozy and aesthetic!
My only update idea please is if we could go outside the door and see what's outside our house and touch the grass! Like open the door and have a porch and the fields and be able to walk in the countryside! My girl wants to go outside sometimes lol! Other than that the game is perfect thank you devs!!

### 5/5 — likes and feedback

*2026-08-13, version v2.16.1*

i was on this app back then, and recently i had returned. i love the new features and additions to improve the experience. not only this, but mainly all the additions that improved studying and focus. while playing on my phone, it was mostly smooth but i cannot say the same for my ipad! every time i open it, it crashes soon after. other than that, all is good! i have a couple of suggestions regarding to customization. this includes an advanced feature to transform the furniture on a X, Y, Z axis (rather than just placing the items down). another suggestion is to increase the item limit for the room! i love adding small details and i would love it even more if the limit was higher than it is 🥰 thank you!

### 5/5 — Is helping executive dysfunction

*2026-08-06, version v2.16.1*

I honestly struggle a lot with creating a schedule and I’m still improving on that, but when I don’t know what to do or I want to have a large focus basically a hyper focus on something I would have preset timers for each individual thing kind of obsessive I know, but this has literally cut the thinking time for each individual thing I want to do and it’s amazing without this new update. I probably would’ve missed out on this app so the update is amazing and hopefully we’ll keep it forever. Plus is a cute avatar app and I don’t think anyone should dislike this app and yes, I’m very biased.

### 5/5 — It won’t let me in

*2026-05-18, version v2.14.1*

It’s a cute game I seen it everywhere but when I download it it kicks me off :( I rlly wanna play it

### 5/5 — 1000/10!

*2026-04-23, version v2.14.0*

I love this app so much! I struggle a lot with motivation and not getting distracted, but ever since I started using gogh I’ve been able to sit down and study for hours at a time!! I love how cute all the customisations are and how I can see my progress ❤️❤️ I’d love an update where I can save rooms and create more!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-04-23, version v2.14.0*

I struggled for ages to find a good app to help me stay focused and honestly this app is perfect it’s really fun and feels worth it, I get my work done and I have this in the background which makes working feel more alive 

One thing I’d hope for in the future is the option to save outfits but otherwise 10/10

### 5/5 — I love it! A few suggestions!

*2026-04-13, version v2.13.2*

This game is so so awesome and the customization is incredible! I think something fun would be being able to hang out in your room with your friends! I also would live some more chill spaces because the ones we already have her so pretty and it would be so fun to have more! Also haveing slots for outfits so we can have different saved outfits woukd be fun to! I love the customization freedom we have with our avatar so it would be awesome if we could save a bunch of outfits! At least 3!
Anyway I love love love this game! I love the music options i love the extra sounds we can, it’s just so relaxing and i love doing stuff with it on :3

### 5/5 — please allow multiple rooms and characters!!

*2026-04-12, version v2.13.2*

This app is so cute but please make it so that we can save multiple rooms and characters!! I love the customization and options for ambience/music. Theres no paywall I really recommend it. you can study with your oc in a cute room. It is a little buggy on ipad, if possible I’d hope to use it in the normal rotation not just portrait.

### 5/5 — Wonderful app for focusing!

*2026-02-20, version v2.13.0*

For the longest time, I have ALWAYS been a procrastinator when it came to homework or just needing to do something in general. I downloaded this app because I thought it was cute and I enjoyed the decorating aspect. That is one of my favourite things, LOTS of decorating options! For the actual focusing part this is the only app that works for me, personally. The lofi music has such a good selection (alongside the ambiance). I use this app when I need to actually get things done, and I usually can do that if I have just this app open!

### 5/5 — I LOVE ITT

*2026-02-18, version v2.12.0*

So cute game my productivity increased I’m doing so much better in school my drawing improved I can focus easily and even when you don’t want to study it’s the perfect cozy game
