Even when you’re grinding, the payoff is low. Cons: No tutorial, you have to read the “instructions” which are vague and incredibly hard to follow. Stats are confusing and the payoff is low. I spent hours grinding for very little progress. Headshot/reels needs an overhaul in general. How exactly is my real world picture factoring in? Why can I not have an avatar? Relationships are so shallow I’m not sure why they exist. Pro’s: It’s very pretty, very immersive, and you can get immersed very quickly. However, the cons outweigh this so much that it’s no longer enjoyable. Which is unfortunate ### 4/5 — Great *2026-06-01, version 1.0.34* Great ### 5/5 — Very nice *2026-04-30, version 1.0.34* Love the game definitely recommend ### 4/5 — Hi *2026-04-28, version 1.0.34* Great app! However, it would be much better if you added an option to customize the visual style and included Russian language support. These updates would make the experience a lot smoother for many users. Thanks! ### 5/5 — super fun *2026-04-28, version 1.0.34* i like the layout of the game there’s so much to do however i do wish it had more of a tutorial ### 5/5 — Love the Game *2026-04-14, version 1.0.34* Please don’t drop this game. I absolutely love it ### 5/5 — I *2026-04-05, version 1.0.34* Huh ### 5/5 — Good *2026-04-02, version 1.0.34* Good ### 5/5 — Y *2026-03-22, version 1.0.34* U ### 5/5 — Great game but some tweaks *2026-03-22, version 1.0.34* A wish I would be easier to get auditions but other than that great game ### 5/5 — Game *2026-03-19, version 1.0.34* This game is very good. They need to improve other branches like music star make it more fun and this app/brach is very stressful and addictive but good otherwise they just need to change the graphic and the hardship ### 2/5 — Mid game *2026-03-18, version 1.0.34* Seriously, it's takes them in the game so long to get back to me fix THAT: I also thought it was a good game nvm it's mid ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2026-06-01, version 1.0.34* Literally applying to background roles for free and can’t get anything with 20+ in every stat ### 1/5 — Purchased content not received *2026-05-22* I purchased Hollywood limited edition pack in this game. My money was debited but i didn’t receive the content i purchased. I tried to get a refund and apple told im ineligible for a refund. I tried contacting the developer several times but he is not simply replying to any emails i send. I recommend not purchasing any inapp purchases in this game ### 1/5 — Very random and difficult *2026-05-03* This is by far one of the most grinding and difficult app right from the beginning. I purchased permanent energy bar of 750, maxed out all my skill, learnt all classes, and after 6 years, got 4 (extra stand-in) roles with over 300 valid auditions. Even after scoring 84+ in auditions, you don't get a role, and sometimes with just about ~50 points, you lock in. Very random, absolutely random and no significance ### 1/5 — Scam in game purchases *2026-04-29* I bought in game purchases for energy bought it for first time the 2nd level energy booster which gives 2k energy i got the energy credited in game once i bought it later bought it 2nd my irl money got deducted but not energy credit in game then bought the base energy booster of 500 energy for 3rd time again no energy credit in game. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-03-02, version 1.0.34* Been playing this game for quite a while, still haven’t gotten a single audition or anything of the sort, is it glitched or something?? ### 1/5 — Can’t restore in app purchases *2026-02-04, version 1.0.34* Can’t restore in app purchases if you uninstall the game. ### 1/5 — Bs app scam *2026-01-27, version 1.0.34* Garbage ### 1/5 — A never ending grind *2026-01-13, version 1.0.34* You will never be successful in this game. Their games are designed like this to make you spend money. ### 1/5 — Needs improvement *2025-12-27, version 1.0.34* The game show promise but can’t get any other auditions, should be able to choose from default drawer pics instead of uploading a real picture, business side and personal side of digital character should be more easy to manage and so on. To high property, etc.. ### 1/5 — can barely get roles *2025-11-27, version 1.0.33* just dumb ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-09-01, version 1.0.34* Great ### 5/5 — Crazy *2026-08-28, version 1.0.34* It’s amazing ### 5/5 — Update *2026-08-18, version 1.0.34* When are we expecting a new update, we need a new update on this ℹ like this Hollywood movie star better then the new one please give us a new update ### 5/5 — My B-Movie Life *2026-07-28, version 1.0.34* My first movie was described as ‘unwatchable from start to end.’ Ed Wood would be proud. ### 5/5 — Best *2026-07-10, version 1.0.34* Best best ### 5/5 — A game I keep coming back to *2026-07-08, version 1.0.34* Every few months I just keep coming back to it, build the new life from scratch etc. one thing that bugs me is it’s really hard to obtain fans enough to boost the bar in fame. ### 5/5 — D *2026-07-06, version 1.0.34* D ### 5/5 — Def try it out *2026-06-02, version 1.0.34* Love it so far! ### 5/5 — Cool so far *2026-05-22, version 1.0.34* Interesting and realistic ### 5/5 — Best movie sim ever! *2026-05-21, version 1.0.34* I’ve had so much fun playing this game, I love being able to produce movies/shows while also being in them and other ones. I only have one complaint and I cannot figure out how to make a movie sequel for the life of me, I feel like i’ve tried everything but other than that it’s a 10/10 game for me! plz help me figure it out lol. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
