### 1/5 — Imvu avatar editor

*2026-08-14, version 14.10.1*

Imvu avatar editor has clothing or apparel on the app under where you edit avatar or purchase clothing that says kids and it’s inappropriate , even if your a teenager playing. One of the ones because I saw others that were disturbing as well, I saw they have avatar outfits that have the title example : “kids pjs” and it is inappropriate no matter what age because it’s children, children aren’t even supposed to be on the game and you can see them as sexual, You can’t report it or do anything so I’m giving them a bad review. If possible I would give 0 stars , because they could be pedofiles

### 5/5 — Needed main page option in bottom

*2026-08-13*

So we can minimise the room

### 1/5 — This game used to be amazing.

*2026-08-13, version 14.10.1*

i been playing this game since 2012 it was easily my favorite chat game because of the communication and customizable options. But now it is honestly and literally unplayable. The reason the game is literally unplayable is because most of the users fill up public chat rooms saying absolutely nothing for hours on end and there is private chat rooms they can do this in keep in mind. I’ve spoken to numerous users who have told me the “parking” is why they stopped playing completely. This game would easily be worth downloading again if this would be put to an end. In my opinion there needs to be a thirty minute interaction timer with public chat rooms so this isn’t a problem.

### 1/5 — Lost Everything

*2026-08-13, version 14.3.0*

Didn't know IMVU deleted old accounts so I went on hiatus for a year, and now EVERYTHING is gone. My friends, my groups, my outfits, everything. HUNDREDS of hours wasted on this game. I would avoid thus game if you have a life outside of e-dating.

### 1/5 — They delete ur account if ur not active for a year

*2026-08-12, version 14.10.1*

They will delete ur account even if u spent money time and effort on it if ur not active for a year I want a full refund on the money I’ve spent on this app 😡

### 3/5 — Great game but ...

*2026-08-12, version 14.10.1*

Had the game for two years and I can say every time I'm on the game the shop is ALWAYS DOWN in the app. Always updating the game .... leave it be and maybe some could enjoy it!

### 5/5 — it’s an amazing game but, there’s an error

*2026-08-11, version 14.10.1*

I used to love this game, I used to play it on my mums phone, but unfortunely now I’ve got it on my own, when I try open it, the screens just blank.  There’s nothing, and I’ve done everything, I’ve deleted apps, and freed up space. But nothing works..is there a bug?

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2026-08-11, version 14.10.1*

IMVU has been almost like—nostalgic to me and of course I love it for how creative you can be with your avatar. Whether that was a furry, or human, or a mythical being, or just—anything. I think it’s also super helpful for me now, simply because I make OCs in my free time and it helps me map out how I envision them to look for me. Still an amazing socializing app to be on though ☺️

### 3/5 — Why pay? for confirm if my age it’s 18 after I turned!! Crazy/ Cannot also respond massages from rom

*2026-08-11, version 14.10.1*

I have loved IMVU since the first day I started playing around 2020. Back then, I didn’t have much control over my account and lost several accounts, but I have had a stable account for a long time now.

Recently, I’ve been frustrated because I can’t even send messages while inside a room—I have to leave the room to do so. This issue has been happening for a long time.

I also recently turned 18, and I believe users who reach adulthood should automatically gain access to age-appropriate adult features without having to pay immediately. I remember hearing from other long-time users that some of these features were previously available for free, so I don’t understand why they are now restricted.

Not everyone can afford to pay for these features as soon as they turn 18, and these restrictions can prevent users from fully enjoying the game. I hope IMVU can consider making adult access available to users who have reached the appropriate age. I’m also sharing this feedback on behalf of other users who may feel the same way.

Thank you for taking the time to understand and consider my request.

### 5/5 — Let me take pictures everyday please let me post everything

*2026-08-11, version 14.10.1*

Let me download it for free
