So no more working your way up to top rewards, now you have to spend money for top rewards. Free to play or a few dollars here and there cannot get top girls and gear now. ### 3/5 — Broken system *2026-08-14, version 1.4.9* Game offers free rewards for watching ads, like many free games. The ads frequently freeze or wont let you exit to receive rewards. Which for a game that basically relies on them, seems odd to me. ### 2/5 — Worst update!!! *2026-08-03, version 1.4.7* After the update, the price of "Business Run" tripled, and all idols in live battles suddenly jumped from Level 6 to Level 15. Wow what a blood sucker. ### 2/5 — Funish but play to play *2026-08-03, version 1.4.7* This is a pay to play game. Prices are absolutely outrageous. 80 bucks a month to have v.i.p status. If you don’t have v.i.p status or pay for the A.I character you progress will be very slow. I’m now at the point where it’s not keeping interest and feels more like work. ### 2/5 — Fun but *2026-07-28, version 1.4.5* It’s kind of fun but this game is literally 95% just watching way too long of ads. Like the purpose of the game is watching ads. Ad times need to be reduced by a lot. ### 2/5 — Pay to Play *2026-07-26, version 1.4.2* The game only lets you play for a very short time, but then character upgrades are almost impossible to come by and so is story progression without paying for very expensive bundles. The “VIP bundle” is the most expensive bundle I have seen in any mobile game. Game is very monotonous and gets boring quickly. ### 1/5 — 時間の無駄 *2026-07-25* 課金しないと全く進まない 遊べるのはほんの数時間です ### 1/5 — Scammers *2026-07-22, version 1.4.2* They actually built a game that is scamming people. 1st of all they give you a subscription sale not telling you that’s only for the first month and doubling it after also they have events that if not spending all your life position you will never succeed although the service chat is fast the answers are always the same. ### 1/5 — 과금 게임 *2026-07-21* ㅂㅅ같은게임 과금유도 작살나네 결제안하면 아예진행이 안돼는 게임이네 ### 1/5 — Deceptive pricing and false discount in Idol Empire VIP subscription *2026-07-19, version 1.4.1* Watch the “VIP Club” screen before you buy. It shows a “30% OFF!” badge with $14.99 crossed out down to… $14.99. Same price. The “discount” is fake. It says “First week offer, then $14.99/week” — but the offer price and the weekly price are identical, so there’s no actual first-week deal. Do the math on the weekly plan: $14.99/week is about $779/year. The same screen sells a yearly plan for $229.99. They push the weekly option because most people don’t multiply it out — you’d pay 3x more for the same thing. Fun game underneath, but the store page is built to trick you into the most expensive option. One star until the fake discount and misleading weekly framing are gone. ### 1/5 — Pay to play *2026-07-16* Impossible d’avancer si vous ne dégainez pas la carte de crédit ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unspielbar *2026-08-20* Unlösbare Spiele, undurchsichtiges Spielziel, einfach kein Spiel dass Sinn macht auch nur eine Minute zu investieren! 😱 ### 1/5 — 최악 오브 최악 *2026-08-15* 일단 운영자와 유저간의 소통이 아예 안되고 보너스 재화도 미지급되고 이러면 누가 겜을 해요. 운영자는 3300원 결제할때 미지급된 재화를 지급바랍니다. **Developer response:** 소중한 의견 감사합니다. 결제 후 보너스 재화가 지급되지 않아 불편을 끼쳐드려 진심으로 사과드립니다. 결제 금액 3300원에 해당하는 재화 미지급 건은 확인 후 처리해야 하니, 결제 영수증 스크린샷과 사용자 고유 ID를 고객센터로 보내주시면 신속하게 조사하고 보상해 드리겠습니다. 앞으로 유저와의 소통 부분도 개선해 나가겠습니다. 불편을 드려 다시 한번 죄송합니다. ### 1/5 — 石がリセットされたんだが *2026-08-14* なんか気づいたら1M近くあった石が40しかなかった、どゆことですか？元に戻してください、俺の努力をかえせ **Developer response:** 貴重なご報告ありがとうございます。 気が付いたら所持していた宝石が大幅に減少していたとのこと、大変ご迷惑をおかけして誠に申し訳ございません。 状況を調査させていただきますので、ユーザー IDといつ頃宝石の数がおかしくなったかのタイミングをカスタマーセンターまでご連絡ください。 記録を確認した上で適切に対応いたします。ご不便をおかけして重ねてお詫び申し上げます。 ### 1/5 — 詐欺アプリ。ゴミ、返金しろ *2026-08-07* 楽しもうと課金したら突如ローンチ画面から進めなくなった。課金させるだけさせて締め出し。 ガチの詐欺アプリ。返金にも応じないし、appleからも返金されない。このデベロッパー絶対かかわっちゃいけない **Developer response:** ご迷惑をおかけして大変申し訳ございません。 課金後起動画面から先に進めない不具合を調査いたします。 ユーザー ID、端末情報をカスタマーセンターまでご連絡ください。速やかに確認対応いたします。 ### 1/5 — Poor AI consistency *2026-08-03, version 1.4.7* AI character designs are all over the place. This game is absolutely pay to play. ### 1/5 — Pure cancer *2026-08-02* Basically an app to have you watch adds. Or directly spend hundreds of euro into it. How this is anything above 1 or 2 is a mystery. Stay away. Starts ok but basically just consists of bad mini games later that make you watch adverts to even be able to finish them. Rest becomes an ultimate drag and gets you nowhere. All the while having you compete against whales (if these are even actual players and not company accounts) Small items cost a fortune that basically still get you nowhere. When did bad games on mobile start to think they are worth hundred per year as a subscription? For clicking blinking items? Run away. Never install. And if you have, take a deep breath, think about your life and money, take another deep breath and delete it. ### 1/5 — Carte de crédit obligatoire et horriblement cher *2026-08-01* J’ai dépassé le niveau 50 en faisant quelques achats raisonnables Maintenant tout est inaccessible Les battles et les crews vous obligent à investir pour faire monter vos personnages en puissance Je pense que ce sont des bots tellement les niveaux sont hauts Quand aux tarifs ils sont délirants Plusieurs centaines d’euros pour faire évoluer un personnage c’est du n’importe quoi Le jeu est plutôt sympa mais vous ne lancez pas ### 1/5 — Latest Patch Ruined It *2026-07-28, version 1.4.5* Was quite enjoying this. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it was a fun little time, but the latest update replaced a key function with an llm chatbot. Don’t want it, don’t like it. Why has everything these days got to force genAI onto its users? ### 1/5 — Locks my iPad up *2026-07-26, version 1.4.2* The ads in here completely locked up my iPad so I had no choice but to delete it. ### 1/5 — Geldgeil *2026-07-26* Wie kann man so geldgeil sein und in einem plan den man braucht un weiter zu kommen zu sagen man braucht jetzt ein auto. Das kostet 20k edelsteine das sind umgerechnet 200€. F2p und ich hab 1000 gerade mal angespart auch ein teil über den plan. Dazu kann man so selten einen live stresm abhalten das man kaum an fans kommt. In f2p kaum spielbar das spiel. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Suggestions *2026-08-29, version 1.5.2* I truly enjoy this game! Game play and storyline keeps my attention. If I could make two suggestions to make the game even more enjoyable I would say: 1) Since the game is already rated 18+ maybe include clothing optional features for a price or through special events. 2) make the girls live stream dancing full screen. I would honestly rather see them dance than the scrolling comments especially if you take my first suggestion. Other than that I truly love the game. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Stuck on loading screen even after the update *2026-08-24, version 1.5.2* Great Game but I get stuck on the loading screen everytime I try to login even after the update ### 5/5 — good *2026-08-24, version 1.5.2* best game good updates ### 5/5 — Das Spiel ist Mega Mega cool und sieht klasse aus 🤩👍🏼😎😀😍 *2026-08-11* Das Spiel ist Mega Mega cool und sieht klasse aus 🤩👍🏼😎😀😍 **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für die tolle Bewertung! Viel Spaß beim Spielen! ### 5/5 — イベントのパズルが… *2026-08-10* ゲーム自体は凄く好き、イベントを頑張ればキャラや育成素材が集まる、集めたキャラを強化して対人戦を行うといった感じでのんびり進められる。 しかし現在開催中のパズルイベントがパズルではなく運ゲーになっているのが不満、ブロックの裏側が隠されているので1手間違えると詰むくせに挑戦回数は有限なので無課金では厳しい。 課金して欲しいのは運営的に分かるし課金する事で時短や優位性を得るのは良いがそもそもプレイ出来なくなるのはどうなんだと思う。 **Developer response:** 貴重なご意見ありがとうございます。 パズルイベントが運要素が強く、無課金だと難しいとのご指摘、承りました。 イベントの体験に関するご意見はデザインチームに共有いたします。 ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-01, version 1.4.5* Fun games ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-07-23, version 1.4.2* While I thoroughly enjoy this game, I don’t like the necessity of all the ads you have to watch. I spend more time watching ads than game play. This game is fun, addicting, and the women are beautiful. The only thing I would change is if they could lower the yearly rate. It went from $80 to over $200. I just can’t justify that much for an app. Consider dropping down to $80 again. That’s a tank of gas, I can give up driving for a week. ### 5/5 — エロは少ないけど *2026-07-18* ゲーム性は面白いね！ ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-08, version 1.3.9* Game is great and a lot of fun . They work hard to fix bugs as soon as you bring it to their attention. Great technical support team always there for you and helping you out. Lots of fun events . Can definitely keep you busy . You can be f2p and be competitive ### 5/5 — Great update! *2026-05-29* Great update! The new songs and dances are really enjoyable, and the game quality keeps getting better with each version. The characters, animations, and stage presentation feel more polished now. Hope to see even more content in the future! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
