### 4/5 — Account

*2026-08-24*

I love this game so much and I play it like everyday. I wish this game allowed us to make accounts because right now I only have it on my iPad. Since there is no account I can’t play on other devices with the progress I made so far in the game. Please let us be able to make accounts like by gmail, apple or whatever!!

### 5/5 — 5 estrelas com certeza

*2026-08-16*

Mano esse jogo é um dos melhores jogos de kpop

### 4/5 — I want girl groups tooooo

*2026-08-15*

Like maybe at the start you can choose the type of group you want and have multiple saves or sumth. It’s still so cute thoooooo

### 2/5 — Broken

*2026-08-05, version 1.4.3*

This is honestly such a cute game I really do love it, but holy bugs. Certain game functions, like the rhythm mini game, just don’t work. More often than not the game freeze for no reason, character level up stars don’t go away until you interact twice. A lot of the time I have to close and reopen the game and at that point I might as well open a different game that won’t break 😭

### 5/5 — Bem legal

*2026-08-04*

Eu achei bem legal os personagens e o jeito que eles conversam o jeito que desenharam os idols é um ótimo estilo mas podia ter uma versão feminina ia ser massa

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for playing our game and feedback, we really appreciate it. We'll share it with our developers.

### 5/5 — Plus de perso à débloquer s’il vous plais 🙏

*2026-08-04*

J’aime beaucoup ce jeu, j’espère qu’il y aura des mises à jour pour débloquer beaucoup plus de personnages ou de d’idoles féminin aussi, sinon les jeu est super selon moi ☺️

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for playing our game and feedback, we really appreciate it. We'll share it with our developers.

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2026-08-03*

Bon jeu malgré pas mal de bug comme le mini jeu de rythme qui ne se ferme pas une fois terminé ou qui ne fait pas défiler les flèches. De plus, les pubs sont censées offrir des récompense mais certaines n’en offre pas (pub fortnite), il faut donc relancer une pub en espérant ne pas retomber sur la pub qui n’offre rien.

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue. We are aware of it and our developers are working to get it fixed. Thank you for the heads up and for playing our game!

### 5/5 — Mimi

*2026-08-01*

C trop mignon les personnages sont incroyables mais pour moi il faut beaucoup trop de pub pour avancer dans le jeu mais j aime bien quand même

### 5/5 — Amazing game!

*2026-07-30*

Its great, but i have one complaint, WHY ARE THE IDOLS MEAN IF THEY DONT LIKE THE FOOD YOU GIVE THEM?! other than that, great game!

**Developer response:** Hello, please send us a message from the settings section of your game so we can help you. Thanks for playing!

### 5/5 — Хорошая игра

*2026-07-28*
