### 3/5 — App lagging and other glitches

*2023-10-09*

It's a good game and the concept is fun. The problem is in the lil silky battle the words take too long to appear on my screen so I miss the chance to add them into the rap battle meaning no matter what I do I lose. It's really irritating. Another issue is whenever I try to go into the bathrooms to practice it just shows me the loading screen for ages and it never loads to show me the location. Other than that the game works really well.

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2023-07-23*

I love this game so much but I had to delete it because of the genesis bug when I couldn’t continue the game at the end of the conversation I even reseted my entire game just to keep playing it and see if the bug was gone and it didn’t work I couldn’t continue I thought it just needed some time so I waited for an hour but nothing happened 

I really love this game so I hope they fix this bug quick so that I can download it again!!!

😞😞😞😞

### 4/5 — Loved it so much! But…

*2023-07-20*

I love this game so much!!!! It’s so interactive and fun and I love the idea of rapping but it also has some of its glitches, for example my game completely stopped loading where they were at the coffee shop and genesis was crying (tiny spoiler) and it just stopped after that! I really love this game so much and hope they fix the bugs 💗💗

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2023-03-11*

Lots of bugs and crashes especially surrounding rapping
Good game otherwise, I hope they patch it soon!

### 4/5 — Please Add More!!!

*2023-01-23, version 1.22.0*

Love the app I finished everything I could do so far… I wish there was more interactions available and I can’t wait for y’all to add more

### 4/5 — Great game…until it freezes at the same place every time.

*2022-06-23, version 1.17.2*

Saw this game on TikTok and was all in from early stages. It keeps freezing on me after Issa asks me about the date and then Keith texts me. Please fix, I’m ready to play some more!

### 2/5 — won’t let me play :(

*2022-05-26*

downloaded the game but unfortunately i get onto the loading screen and it freezes just as the little loading bar gets to about half way. i have tried re downloading it and restarting it but it simply won’t work. the game looks great on the App Store so its a shame i cant play. :(

### 2/5 — I really wanted to like this, but it’s unplayable

*2022-03-29, version 1.15.0*

I can’t get more than three screens into the game before it freezes.

### 2/5 — Glitches

*2022-03-26, version 1.15.0*

I literally cant even get past the whats your name part.. there is no option for me to move forward and i even closed out the game and had to remake my character just for the same issue to occur.. what a fun game

### 4/5 — Lots of potential. Being patient cause it’s early access 💌

*2022-03-26, version 1.15.0*

Loving what features are being laid out so far. I can’t switch decks from the starter deck and it crashes whenever I try to swap the cards out. So I’m excited for everything to get fixed so I can really play. Also it always says I’ve reached my max hype for the day so I can’t get any. Looking forward to the future of this game.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your patience, we have tried to make a fun experience!  We pushed an update (version 1.16) so please try that one. If you hit any issues, please reach out to support@glowup.games

### 2/5 — Okay.

*2022-03-12, version 1.14.5*

I wanted to love this game so bad as I love the HBO show insecure. The game keeps crashing at the first rap stage and I have to make a new character every time I sign it. It won’t save my information for some reason.

### 4/5 — Awesome!

*2022-02-25*

This game is fun, fast paced and addictive. The only problem is the glitching that stops words from showing up in the rap battles/practices and prevents me collecting new words I unlocked. Also when I watch an add to avoid spending my hype points, the game has me watch the ad and still spends my points anyway. 

Great game but we need to be able to reach tech support for help.

Keep up the great work!!! :)

### 4/5 — Still improving

*2022-02-15, version 1.12*

I love this show when I found out about the app I was so excited to play. The app is really good but there were some glitches while the “rap stages” some words wouldn’t pop up at all causing you to get a lower score. Also I suggest a little skip bottom do we don’t have to listen to them gibberish rapping. It would nice to just skip to your part. The app is still new so I didn’t might and ended up finishing the game. Cant wait until there is more to the plot!

### 4/5 — I love this game

*2022-02-12, version 1.12*

I’m looking forward to this game like I lovee it. But, I’m having problems with the raps loading words. Like the blanks won’t load and cause me to not get enough hype points. I’ve tried to do other raps but it does the same thing but other than that the game is awesome i love it 🥰

### 3/5 — Fix this please

*2022-02-08, version 1.12*

After an ad plays the whole game freezes, and it’s very annoying

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-07-20*

The game only shows a menu then when I press play nothing happens

### 1/5 — I give this a 0

*2024-04-02*

This game doesn’t work don’t bother downloading it

### 1/5 — Broken

*2022-05-06, version 1.17.0*

The game seems pretty fun ; but I can’t seem to get pass the club part . Every time Issa wants to take me home I get stuck on the loading screen for a long period of time . To the point where I just exit the game .

### 1/5 — Not loading

*2022-02-10, version 1.12*

The game was great until i went on the date with Keith, game froze. Then when i reload the game it will not load past the start screen

### 1/5 — Very glitchy

*2022-02-08, version 1.12*

The screen lags and freezes in every scene. This even happens while trying to pick words to rhyme so you try to tap a word in time, but it's frozen so it doesn't register that you did anything and you miss the word.

Also I paid for the season pass but there are still ads. And then not long after, the game was over anyway.

And I tried to make my character's hair pink but it just looks grey. The colors don't look right when they're applied. Very limited customization options, including premium ones.

### 1/5 — Thought 2 try 2 support

*2022-02-07, version 1.12*

The game seems like i should like it n I tried. But it’s full of pointless drama, way to much cursing n foul behavior. Also some things don’t make sense n i can’t choose to say no to certain things. It’s like it praises bad behavior. I so bad want to support our stuff but it’s hard as a young blk woman tryna be betta having to play this. I get that the world has normalized this type of behavior but that doesn’t make it ok. We are Queens n Kings. This is not how real Royalty behave. I’m super proud of Issa personally but I can’t go with the crowd on this one.

### 1/5 — I like it but...

*2021-11-30, version 1.119*

None of the ads work and it doesn't give you time to read the rap lyrics before you can choose the right word for the lyrics. Uninstalling until it's fixed.

### 2/5 — I couldn’t even get to play

*2024-10-03*

i downloaded the game because i thought it look good, first it takes a while to load then i go to create an account because i didn’t already have one, i tried so many different options of usernames and passwords and not once did it work it just came up with an error screen and didn’t give a clear explanation on what was wrong. very frustrating.

### 2/5 — Freezes or won’t let you exit mini game at the bar

*2022-08-08*

I get it’s a fresh new game, but it’s buggy and glitchy. I got to the rap battle at the bar, it wouldn’t allow me to add new words before the battle started, the battle then started and I couldn’t win it as I had words missing and it wouldn’t even show the word list. So I kept failing, then it wouldn’t let me exit the mini game so have been trapped in a never ending rap battle that I can’t win. So tried to restart the game, now I’m stuck in the apartment doing the rap mirror mini game with the complex manager and it stuck on the tutorial screen!

### 2/5 — Started off good.

*2022-06-04, version 1.17.2*

I loved it at first, now no matter what I do the game freezes in the first date when Issa says first date and you reply and then suddenly you get a text from Keith can’t go further

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-03-12*

In my opinion it is an amazing game. Mine didn’t crash or glitch but I’m sad that I have to wait for the rest of the story since it’s an early release

### 5/5 — Full version when?

*2023-02-06, version 1.22.0*

When is the full version of this game be available

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2022-08-08*

Don’t know why this isn’t popular feels like a PlayStation game can’t believe it’s free and so little ads

### 5/5 — Really like this game

*2022-05-07, version 1.17.0*

Really like this game just starting playing but after the club scene rap battle the screen loads but never stops please fix it because the game is unplayable 🤦🏻‍♀️

### 5/5 — More To The Story

*2022-02-12, version 1.12*

Im Ready To See Whats Next I Gotta Date Hurry Up And Make The Rest So It Can Be A Non Stop Thing

### 5/5 — Just tried it

*2022-02-10, version 1.12*

I just tried it, had lil teeny glitches nothing serious I’m getting into game testing & honestly I can’t wait to see where this goes !! Update the story soon I got through it so fast and I’m ready to customize, and rap dawg lol 💜💜💜

I honestly didn’t watch insecure but I’m bout to tune In and binge I’m so intrigued now.

### 5/5 — Love this

*2022-02-09, version 1.12*

Love the app so far. It’s like a mix between that Demi lovato game path to fame & Kim kardashian: Hollywood. Love the scenarios & the connection to insecure which was one of my all time favorite shows (loved abg too). 

Only thing is, because there’s not much content out, I decided to restart the game & purchase the vip pack however, I purchased the pack before I restarted the game. It didn’t affect my words/stars but the ads are still there. Don’t know if this is a glitch or a result from me restarting the game. Either way, no ads would be nice since I already watch ads to boost my hype. 

Other than that, the game is dope. It’s super unique, you get to make up raps on the spot & I’m excited to see how they expand on the career opportunities within the game. I definitely think this app has potential & I can’t wait for the creators to release more content🙌🏼

### 5/5 — Potential like a mf

*2022-02-08, version 1.12*

Hurry plssss update this game is so cute

### 5/5 — I NEED MORE!!

*2022-02-08, version 1.12*

First and probably last time I’ll ever write a review for an app, but this game right here really did that!! It’s the cutest game and honestly it shows how much y’all really worked on it. I love the fact that y'all made it such a personalized experience and as well as an inclusive experience for those who get down with the vibes!! Keep doing y'all thing and ever improving!!! As per the game, I’ll calmly be waiting for more updates and try and get this love connection going with Keith ;) fr this game has so much potential and the fact that it’s a reflection of a culture makes it even more beautiful. Keep it up!! Much love ❤️

### 5/5 — Such a fun game!!

*2022-02-08, version 1.12*

Bro I've never seen the show LOL but this game is sooo fun!! It plays like the GameBoy Advance game, Urbz, except with way more jokes and story. It's so fun and inclusive, you can make yourself any appearance and they'll still ask which pronouns you use and you can still flirt with whoever. I really love it! I think it has so much potential and I'd even pay to play the story in a game like this. If there's an email list for updates I Wanna be added to it! Amazing job glow up studios!!!💖💖💖
