Avoid this game at all costs
I’ve been playing for two years and recently they have been doing extremely shady things like rolling your character buffs back and removing your items. All without saying a word to you. Just ninja remove your progress and items. On top of that they have been getting increasingly stingy and greedy. Everything is considerably more expensive and you get much less of it. The customer service was never great but now it’s just completely nosedived into oblivion. They have been extremely brazen with their shady tactics and don’t seem to care at all about their players. Find another game. In fact, avoid any game by this company.

Lag
Been good for a while but now it’s very laggy
Can’t log in
Just got a new phone and the game gets stuck on the load-in screen. Can’t get in to contact “customer service,” which is a joke anyway. The previous reviewer nailed it. All the new “improvements “ just make everything worse. The developers are GREEDY. Pretty sure I’m done with this game.
CD Options
It’s a solid game with a nice story, however there should be a way to purchase more CD disc with in game currency. That would be better than just paying real world currency or just asking your company comrades.
Female CEO
Nice game, but I really wish you could play as a Female CEO too because I’m a girl and I did play it once but I can only be a Male CEO and that’s so embarrassing. I wish I could play as a Female CEO instead of a Male CEO 😔
DO NOT DOWNLOAD
The developers of this game care about one thing and one thing only - themselves. The game glitches repeatedly. It lags and causes issues to the players. When glitches occur that cost players significant assets, the developers response is “send us a video of what happened”. Who records every minute of every game that they play? No meaningful compensation is ever offered and no meaningful consideration of rectifying the issues. The same issues have existed for the last year. The only reason I still play is because of the friends that I have made. Don’t start playing it and you will save yourself considerable heartache and frustration
UPDATE: Since my original post, the developers have introduced BOT customer service that closes out complaints without any action if you don’t confirm 3 times what your feedback is. In addition, instead of fixing glitches, they change game displays and set ups that look ridiculous and introduce spelling errors that previously did not exist. Guys - fix the issues. Don’t make changes that are gross and create more issues
ANOTHER UPDATE: The developers continue to make unnecessary changes that introduce numerous bugs and glitches. The game freezing has increased and the frustration levels match it. Rapidly losing interest now with the pathetic nature of response. Obviously they don’t do any offline testing before subjecting the users to another raft of issues rather than improvements.

I think I might be done playing this game
I’ve been trying to hold out until after a certain event because I’ve been stockpiling resources to try to win the lead up competition to the event but the game seems to be forcing my hand.
I’ve been playing for a while now and the game has gotten steadily worse. There are so many glitches and issues that never get fixed and each update makes them worse and adds new ones. The fact that nearly all updates are done through the loading screen of the game and not the App Store means that my current situation where the loading screen doesn’t even open properly makes it so I can’t update the game with whatever “fixes” they come up with when people can’t log in.
Additionally, the game downloads 40+ Megabytes of data (sometimes close to 300) on the loading screen nearly every time you start the game. It’s not every single time but it’s something like 90%. That should not be necessary. An update through the App Store every few weeks makes some semblance of sense but every day or multiple times a day is crazy.
Customer service is entirely through the loading screen and in game as well so there’s no way to contact them when these issues arise, which is frequently. Not that it matters because customer service never helps with anything and every time I’ve reached out for something they give a non reply response and immediately close the ticket without waiting even five minutes for you to respond. They also don’t know the game at all. You mention a feature to ask a question and they have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s so pointless.
I think I know why the game is in the condition it is but I keep hoping I’m wrong and even if I’m right there’s so much that’s not even bare minimum quality. It’s so bad, especially the “improvements” that supposedly make gameplay better. They actually make it worse.
I haven’t deleted it yet but I can’t access anything and if I try any fixes myself I’m pretty sure I’m going to lose all my resources, levels, girls, everything and I’m going to miss out on the rewards I wanted to get for an event that’s been going. All of that means I’m pretty sure I’m done for good if I can’t get in for another day or so.

Too many bugs, support”s no help, devs don’t listen to feedback, inflexible
Lack of support and devs don’t take constructive feedback.Too many bugs, updates slow game down and freeze game play.
Es gibt für Programmierer noch viel zu tun.
Design ändert sich ständig aber nicht unbedingt zum Besseren. Viel zu viel Bewegung auf dem Bildschirm. Sollte mittels Schalter reduziert werden können. Sounds sollten auch optional an und ausgeschaltet werden. Töne bräuchte es nicht, Gesprochenes und Gesungenes schon. Dann halt lieber ganz stumm. Sonst ist es fesselnd. Man muss nur immer genau berücksichtigen, welche Addons wirklich etwas bringen.

Avoid this game at all
This game will bleed your wallet dry, the developers milk for every last penny they can. Player focus and optimisation? Non-existent. Every single update makes the thing even lagier, and running it smoothly on a flagship phone is an absolute nightmare, whether you’re on iOS or Android. Complete rubbish.

Three Names, One Broken Game = Trash
I've played this game for nearly two years, so these criticisms come from long-term experience, not one bad day. On Google Play it's called Top Girl. On the Apple App Store it's called Idol Company. Inside its own support system it's called Apex Girl. Even the listed company names differ depending on where you look. That confusion perfectly reflects the rest of the experience. The developers consistently prioritize new sales, VIP features, and paid content over fixing long-standing issues. Core mechanics remain poorly documented and often contradict what players actually see in-game. Parking War is a perfect example. I'm Level 82 and have lost to players in the 50s despite appearing to have stronger artists or higher visible statistics. Player level alone clearly does not determine the outcome, yet the game never explains how artist levels, skills, vehicles, collectibles, fan genes, blueprints, HQ bonuses, attack bonuses, reductions, and other modifiers are actually weighted. After a loss, the only explanation is, "Improve your Artists' abilities," which tells players nothing about what actually determined the battle. The same lineup can display dramatically different power values on different screens with no explanation of which value is actually used in battle. The game also sells HQ skins with Artist Sing, Artist Dance, and Artist Manage bonuses, yet neither the game nor customer support can clearly explain what those bonuses actually do, how they're calculated, whether they stack, or which skills are more valuable. Players are expected to spend money on systems that even support cannot explain. The lack of quality control extends throughout the game. Events display "Event does not exist." Mini-games end incorrectly. The iOS support chat frequently leaves black bars and blank screens. The game literally ships with text like "Breathtakin" instead of "Breathtaking." These are basic quality assurance issues that should never make it into a production release. Customer support has been equally disappointing. I submitted detailed reports with screenshots, reproducible examples, and clear explanations. The responses were generic, repetitive, and eventually stopped altogether. Despite claiming my reports had been submitted, support provided no case number, no meaningful follow-up, and no response after my latest report. Meanwhile, the App Store is full of public replies saying they value feedback, but my documented issues remain unresolved. After nearly two years, the pattern is obvious: monetization receives immediate attention, while bugs, documentation, transparency, quality control, and meaningful customer support are consistently neglected. Long-term players deserve far better than this. Even the App Store's "App Support" link leads to a generic Larks Holding corporate website rather than a game-specific support page. The site contains generic marketing about developing strategy games but doesn't clearly identify Top Girl, Idol Company, or Apex Girl, nor does it provide an obvious support portal, bug tracker, or player knowledge base. Players are instead left searching through the website and legal documents just to find an email address.
Update August 8th 2026 in reply to the developer “reply”:
After nearly two years of playing, the developer publicly acknowledged my complaints about inconsistent naming, unclear mechanics, unresolved bugs, and poor support. That acknowledgment is appreciated, but the response itself demonstrates the problem: I was told to use in-game support, which I have already used extensively without meaningful resolution.
I then tried Apple’s “contact developer” link and was taken to Larks Holding’s privacy-policy page instead of a useful escalation channel. The “update your review” link also failed to take me somewhere I could actually update the review. I had to open the App Store, search for “Idol Company” and then click Edit Review just so I could paste this update manually.
At this point, the issue is not a lack of screenshots, explanations, or attempts to contact support. The issue is that documented problems keep being redirected instead of resolved.
I have played long enough to know the difference between a minor bug and a persistent support/mechanics problem. I am happy to revise this review when the underlying issues are actually fixed or substantively addressed. A public apology followed by another referral into the same ineffective support loop is not a resolution.

Good game, very bad support
I’ve spent over $150 in this game, so this isn’t a one-time complaint. Server vs Server is a normal recurring phase where you’re sent to another server for a few hours to capture towers — it’s a core part of the game, not some rare edge case. While in that phase, I purchased an event pack ($9.99 / 999 CEO points). The pack itself delivered fine — but it generated no cheers and no recharge credit toward the event I bought it for, because purchases made during Server vs Server apparently don’t count toward your home server’s events. This is never disclosed anywhere in the shop, the event rules, or the purchase flow — despite Server vs Server being something every player goes through regularly.
Because the credit never arrived, I missed the entire bidding window for a time-limited event tied to that purchase — a loss that can’t be undone.
Support took close to a week to respond. The first “verification” I received misidentified the item I’d purchased entirely. After I pushed back with evidence, they eventually confirmed the Server vs Server exclusion is standard behavior — then refused any compensation, calling it normal procedure.
If you play through Server vs Server, know that your purchases may silently not count toward the events you’re buying them for, and the company will not make it right when that happens.

i hate the new style
Just don’t
Do not bother downloading this app. Just a the worst experience of all time. A big scam. Not worth it at all
Updates that destroy the game
This used to be a somewhat fun game. The latest update has killed it. FTP are done. This has become a money grab by the developers. Unless they reverse course on this update, Im leaving this game and I don’t recommend anyone downloading it.
Rubbish
Since the latest update today you have taken away diamonds and assets away from concerts and stadium rallies congratulations on losing a lot of players terrible update
Not worth it
This game use to be brilliant, but with every update the devs are killing it. It use to be equally balanced for p2w and f2p but with their newest update of removing the in game diamonds rewards for concerts and rallies , their core buying system, by “optimizing” which has done the opposite, many players are going to leave I already know of 4 friends planing on leaving if it remains this way as it makes it impossible to do anything and makes coming onto the game pointless. Shame really,, and I hope the game devs do something about it before it’s too late
