Thank you ### 1/5 — Rubbish hmv app *2021-10-25, version 2.0.4* No use in downloading this app as there is no option for English language on it why apple store has it when the English language version is not available defeats the whole point in downloading this app ### 1/5 — ? *2021-03-14, version 2.0.4* Is this app real or fake? ### 1/5 — HMV is British, not Japanese or Chinese! *2020-12-15, version 2.0.4* Why is the app not available in the English language? Bizarre!! ### 1/5 — the website is better ! *2020-08-05, version 2.0.4* i wanted 2 download this so i could stay signed into the hmv website and buy albums / dvds and stuff but it was all in japanese and you can’t change it to any other language , if i could have i would’ve given it 0 stars but it’s not an option :/ ### 1/5 — Japanese only *2020-07-04, version 2.0.4* The app is in Japanese and no obvious way to make it English...and apparently no English version of the app is available. Why!? ### 1/5 — Language *2020-03-14, version 2.0.4* There is no option to switch or select a language it’s basically useless unless you speak Japanese ### 1/5 — Seriously Dumb *2019-11-22, version 2.0.4* Are you MORONS seriously that DUMB? Why on earth would you bring out an app for the legendary HMV and have it in Japanese????? There’s not even a SINGLE setting to change it into English. Now I MUST go to the store to look for what I want. SORT IT OUT ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2019-11-05, version 2.0.4* Downloaded and then took one look and deleted it as can’t read Chinese ### 1/5 — Awful *2019-08-14, version 2.0.4* Where’s the English version?! ### 1/5 — Minus 0 Out Of 5 *2018-12-16, version 2.0.4* I Cannot Believe This Is In Japanese. Please You REALLY Need To Sort This App Out And Have It In English As We Cannot Use This App With The Condition It Is In Right Now. VERY Disappointing Indeed. I Cannot Even Rate This A Zero. You Are Expecring Me To Put A 1 Then I Can Post My Review 😤😤 ### 1/5 — Only in Japanese - Still *2018-10-25, version 2.0.4* Nuff said ### 1/5 — Why is this in Japanese. Why is there no option to change *2018-10-13, version 2.0.4* Why is there no option to change the language? ### 1/5 — Japanese *2018-10-06, version 2.0.4* It’s all in Japanese so useless is an understatement but the developers won’t know I said that because this is in English. ### 1/5 — Not in English *2018-09-26, version 2.0.4* I think this is in Japanese, not sure. No idea why it’s on the UK app store. Deleted. ### 1/5 — This is ridiculous *2018-08-29, version 2.0.4* I went to download the HMV app only to realise after it had been downloaded that the language is in Japanese with no setting to set it to English what is going on here all the other apps are in English. Whoever designed this app seemed to have no idea what they were doing. Please remove this app and don’t reissue it until there is a language changing option as the iPad version also has the same problem. ### 1/5 — Hmv app *2018-08-06, version 2.0.4* Absolutely shocking.. can’t change the language, worst app ever ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — My God, this app is dreadful *2025-11-24, version 2.0.4* And so 7 years after a previous complaint about the app defaulting to Japanese, with no way of changing it…..its still happening. Great work guys, nothing if not consistent. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-03-23, version 2.0.4* I love HMV whenever I’m out at town I’ll have a look but the the app is not good it’s in a completely different language and I can’t find a button to translate ### 1/5 — App crashes continually *2025-01-06, version 2.0.4* Do yourself a favor and use the members card and website until the app is completely overhauled. ### 1/5 — What the flip *2024-12-27, version 2.0.4* I can’t read this language ### 1/5 — REMOVE APP *2024-06-20, version 2.0.4* i just downloaded the HMV app to see how much my dvds and cds i got from charity shops so i can sell in store only to see that the app is in JAPANESE with NO setting to change the LANGUAGE like what are you even thinking and to make matters worse the website is ALOT MORE funtionable hence the ONE star review ### 1/5 — Japanese ??? *2024-03-25, version 2.0.4* Why only in Japanese ??? You are losing customers here !!! ### 1/5 — Language *2023-10-04, version 2.0.4* The app was in Japanese and there was no way to turn the language to English which was very not helpful. ### 1/5 — Bro forgot to set the language *2023-08-01, version 2.0.4* It’s in Japanese as if HMV ain’t an English shop 😂 ### 1/5 — NonononoNO! *2023-07-22* The person who made this app clearly has a very small penis! He should eat dirt and look at me through a camera lens while i hold a baguette and flail my arms around like a lucid carrot in texas ### 1/5 — Love the diversity *2023-01-08, version 2.0.4* I’ve been to HMV about 1000 times in my life. Buzzing that I cannot read any of it. Cannot wait to be confused and charged £139.97 ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 8=========D *2023-06-04, version 2.0.4* 英語をお願いしますパパ ### 3/5 — English translation for foreign customer *2013-10-20* Hello, HMV. I really love your shop and actually I want you to make another English version for foreign customers. So, we don't have to go to the main website on PC and make a purchase. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
