### 1/5 — не даёте рубины

*2026-04-30, version 2.6.0*

после просмотра видео не зачисляются рубины. отвратительно.

### 1/5 — does not give rubies for watching ads

*2026-04-25, version 2.6.0*

does not give rubies for watching ads

### 1/5 — .

*2026-01-24, version 2.5.1*

the worst voting app ever.

### 4/5 — Руби

*2026-01-22*

Я хочу видеть статистику, сколько сгорит Руби за день до сгорания, или за неделю.

### 1/5 — no reward for viewing ads

*2025-11-10*

no reward for viewing ads

### 1/5 — Horrible functionality

*2025-11-03*

This is genuinely one of the worst apps I have ever had the misfortune to use. It doesnt work half of the time - pages don't load, you can't charge gems - and I wish we could just use Linc 😭

### 1/5 — установить даже не получается

*2025-08-31*

раньше устанавливала, так что вщ не знаю в чем проблема

### 1/5 — Crooks

*2025-08-03*

The new update is so egregious about the data it wants to collect and share, I can’t even get the update to download. And no, I just have basic privacy settings, no VPN. Top it off, I have hearts I have ALREADY PAID for that I now cannot access to use. This app started bad, with egregious number of ads to watch, and it has (unbelievably) gotten worse. Would nothave thought this possible. Actually zero stars. They give Inkigayo a very bad name; the greed and grift is so obvious, and the user experience is clunky and painfully boring.

### 1/5 — 星1すらあげたくない

*2025-07-27*

3回スキップをしないといけない広告が来たらルビーが貰えません。
なのにそういう広告しか来ないので腹が立ちます。
いくらログアウトしても再起動かけても駄目なので早くアップデートするなりして改善してください。
何のためにこのアプリをインストールして毎日50回以上広告を観ているのかよく考えてください

### 1/5 — review

*2025-07-18*

this app makes it easy to collect rubies and vote for our favourites.

### 4/5 — Works well, rewards take forever

*2025-07-18*

The app does what it’s supposed to, no issues with navigating or voting. You just have to watch way too many ads to earn a few rubies. Would be better with faster rewards.

### 3/5 — 最近のアップデート良◎

*2025-07-18*

推しの応援のためにダウンロードして利用しています。広告視聴のインターバルがあって非常に貯めにくかったですが、最近のアップデートでこれがなくなり、ありがたいです。あとは、1広告につき1ルビーずつしか貯まらないのが大変です。1広告あたりのRuby数が増えるともっと嬉しいです！

### 3/5 — 아쉽지만 최악은 아니에요

*2025-07-13*

일단 단점부터 말하자면 유료에요 학생들이 이용하기엔 좀 부담이 있어요 뭐 이건 그렇다 치고 오류가 너무 많아요 버벅대는것도 그런데 너무 느립니다 또 그냥 잠시 든 생각인데 너무 돈버는 목적이 아닌가 하는 생각이 들어요 다른 유료인 앱들은 예를들어 루비같은 화폐? 를 모으기 쉽게 되있는데 하이어는 좀 어려워요 그냥 결제를 하는게 나은거같다는 수준..? 미션을 해도 루비가 진짜 조금 들어오는게 좀 많이 아쉬워요 장점은 투표창이 찾기 쉬워요 다른 투표 앱들에 비해 찾기가 쉬워요 또 투표만 하는게 아니라 이것저것 하는것도 괜찮구요

### 1/5 — Im writing one more

### 1/5 — Horrible app.

*2026-05-17, version 2.6.3*

Worse app ever, let it burn. CORTIS WILL GET GRAND SLAM

### 1/5 — WORST APP

*2026-05-17*

If you can’t handle a high traffic, stop working with music shows

### 1/5 — 卡到爆

*2026-05-17, version 2.6.3*

### 1/5 — Multiple ads

*2026-05-11*

literally so many things wrong with this app. i’ll watch like 3 ads and they won’t count. now with the new update, i can’t watch ads back to back but doesn’t give a timer for when an ad will be ready like the other voting apps do

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Absolute BS

*2026-05-17*

Like cmon first off so many people are trying to support their faves by voting but when it’s 1 ad per 1 ruby it just feels like a complete ripoff. Also whoever runs the app is trash,  knowing that there is going to be so many people racing to vote but can’t manage to keep it up for a sec??? Wasted my time and money just to not be able to vote is insanity

### 5/5 — 결제오류

*2026-04-20*

결제 했는데 안들어와서 환불요청했는데 나중에 30분뒤에 들어와서 일단 썼는데 앱스토어는 할수있는게 없다하고 여기는 문의해도 대답도 안하고 말도 없네요.  어쩌라는거죠

### 5/5 — 좋아요

*2025-07-18*

앱 자체에 광고가 많이 안떠서 좋아요.
하지만 광고 1개당 루비1개는 다른 투표 앱들에 비해 너무 보상이 작다고 생각합니다… 보상을 늘려주셨음 해요

### 5/5 — 하이어 쾌적함

*2025-07-18*

투표앱 중에 과하게 현질 유도하는 부분이 없어서 괜찮은 거 같아요. 광고만 보면 루비를 주더라구요. 할일이 많지 않아서 쾌적 ㅎㅎ 다만 투표 한 번 당 30루비는 쓰이는데 광고 하나당 루비가 1개씩 적립이라.. 차라리 출석체크라도 생겨서 참여형 보상이 늘어나면 좋겠어요 ㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — Honest review

*2025-07-11*

Higher is perfect if you want to vote for your favorite K-pop idols in official events and music shows. The app is smooth, visually appealing, and makes it easy to support artists. Just note: you can’t create your own polls — it’s only for fan voting. Still, a fun and engaging platform for the K-pop community!
