### 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!

### 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.

### 4/5 — Title

*2026-08-08, version v14.10.0*

I made a review a while ago and I’m very happy that you guys responded and fixed the glitch thank you! Some of the surveys for the credits are a bit buggy thats all.

### 2/5 — I want a delete

*2026-08-07, version v14.10.0*

### 3/5 — Imvu glitch

*2026-08-04, version v14.10.0*

What is going on why haven’t u guys updated it it’s glitching and everything like this is ridiculous

### 3/5 — Sigh

*2026-08-04, version v14.10.0*

If yall had better servers this app would be perfect

### 3/5 — Report on players

*2026-08-01, version v14.10.0*

I submit a ticket and the staff didn’t even do anything against racial slurs, harassment, insulting me by people on the app. This should be a rule violation, cause people enjoy this app get away from reality but people can’t even do that too on this app because of people doing the same things bullying and etc on the app too. It’s ridiculous really.

### 2/5 — Bring back a multifunctional App

*2026-07-31, version v14.10.0*

We need the ability to shop, message and be in rooms altogether. It’s frustrating already that the app crashes a lot. At least make it convenient in other ways. Also in the shopping cart whenever we go in our inventory, make it possible to go into our cart to try on multiple items. Also, it would be nice to access our wish list in our inventory.

### 2/5 — Update

*2026-07-29, version v14.10.0*

The app is going down hill for sure

### 3/5 — The hackers lol

*2026-07-29, version v14.10.0*

How was the fair to other people there were hackers in the game they were gonna hack my YouTube account after it so hard you guys need to do something about it please and and then I will start playing again. If you delete all hackers, please delete all of them. I was scared to death. Thank you.

### 4/5 — 🩷

*2026-07-29, version v14.10.0*

Not letting my inventory load but overall I love the game

### 2/5 — Suck

*2026-07-29, version v14.10.0*

I accidentally logged out and I was trying to get back in, but it wouldn’t let me back in and they should have a button for like if you accidentally log out, you can click a little arrow on the left side of your screen and then you can just go back to your 
account that makes no sense not to have one cause this is stupid

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-07-27, version v14.10.0*

The game is really good and fun but the update ruined the make up on my avatar.

### 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

### 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 😡

### 1/5 — No Privacy

*2026-08-07, version v14.10.0*

It’s a great game, but it’s honestly crazy how easy it is for anyone to stalk you all day without even being your friend.
Just by knowing your username, people can track where you go, who you’re with, and what you’re wearing using external apps. Someone who’s obsessed can follow you everywhere, and it doesn’t matter if you block them — they just create another account or use those outside tools.
It’s really creepy and invasive. IMVU needs to do something about this, because right now there’s almost no real way to stop it.

### 1/5 — Horrible Customer Support

*2026-08-05, version v14.10.0*

I've had my account for over 10 years. IMVU randomly restricted my account prohibiting me from accessing many features. I've spent hundreds on my account just be restricted. Support sucks and takes weeks to resolve tickets. Bring back live support. I can't even purchase vip to get support because of this hold.

### 1/5 — TOO MANY BUGS!!

*2026-08-02, version v14.10.0*

I have never dealt with this app lagging me out of the whole app and not working properly when accessing my inventory. At this point, I might as well take all the money I use for IMVU on over to second life 🫩

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-07-26, version v14.8.1*

IMVU wants all your data so they can sell it. It exists for no other reason than this.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for

*2026-07-21, version v14.8.1*

Unable to rate this as every time I tried to log in it says no servers available.

### 1/5 — Avatar

*2026-07-21, version v14.8.1*

My avatar keep refreshing it first time for me I can only do certain outfits then it keep refreshing making me start over

### 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 ☺️

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

*2026-08-06, version v14.10.0*

i love this game, i've been playing for 14 years now and it's still great. however, the mobile app isn't very consistent with the monthly log in notifications and I find some of them just vanishing before i can collect a reward. thanks for so many years of dress up fun!!
