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 😭 ### 3/5 — Put more in the game *2026-07-28, version 1.4.3* That’s it ### 3/5 — Good but please update *2026-07-24, version 1.4.3* Nice idle game, cute. Annoying bug after mini game where it’ll freeze and you have to exit app! ### 2/5 — All Characters are hallow husks of each other. *2026-07-20, version 1.4.3* All the idols have ZERO personality! Asides each idol having a predetermined, broad personality title, they have no substance to them. All characters with the personality trait “Sassy” all have the same dialogue. All characters with trait “Sexy,” all talk the same, and this goes for all other personality traits. It’s a shame because each character is so distinguishable thanks to the amazing art but they’re just husks of what they’re suppose to be. Specific dialogue for each idol is in desperate need so people have a reason to LIKE the idols. ### 3/5 — Idol Cards *2026-07-04, version 1.4.3* It is impossible to get idol cards (which are required to level up the idols) without watching an ad. What the hell? There should be an alternative option! ### 4/5 — Good game *2026-07-03, version 1.4.3* This is a relaxing game but when I’m bored, I would play the rhythm game but whenever I finish and click continue, it would stay in the rhythm with no option to get out. I hope the developers see this and fix it. Thanks you very much for this game!!! ### 3/5 — Cute game except excessive ads. *2026-06-06, version 1.4.3* Super cute, love the concept, but literally everything is behind an ad with no way around it (like subscriptions, etc). ### 3/5 — Review *2026-05-23, version 1.4.3* It was okay but I would never download it again it was so basic and wanted me to watch a lot of adds ### 4/5 — love this game! but... *2026-05-21, version 1.4.3* i ADORE this game, i played religiously about a year ago and i had everything maxed out and was STILL having fun even with all the trainees and fully decorated houses. however, my phone accidentally deleted the game to save storage. when i downloaded it back, everything was gone. THERE'S NO WAY TO LOG BACK IN OR RESTORE PURCHASES. if you delete the game, you have to start from zero again. this put me off for an entire year because i had already poured in so much time and effort into an otherwise great game... please let us save our progress i beg you! i want to play this game again but i'm scared of the same thing happening again! ### 4/5 — Amazing! *2026-05-14, version 1.4.3* The game is super great but I think there should be female trainees in it too and I also think we should be able to go to the concerts with the idols for extra support. But overall I love this game. ### 4/5 — Cute but Lacking *2026-04-22, version 1.4.3* Super cute and easy to play, but it is super easy to collect everything / nearly everything. It would be good to see this game get an update with more furniture and idols. ### 4/5 — Fun game *2026-04-21, version 1.4.3* It’s a fun game! The art is great as usual for hyper beard games. A star was removed because there are no girl idols and there wasn’t much effort put in for black players. im white but they deserve to have cute lil avatars too and i’ve noticed a lack of attention on how things look on black skin in previous hyperbeard games. other than that, it’s very fun and i enjoy playing it. wish i could have a girl group though… ### 4/5 — . *2026-04-19, version 1.4.3* I really love the game I have no complaints I just wish progress could save so I can play on other devices or if I ever have to get a new device and I wanna play and still have my progress instead of needing to start over like maybe I could attach an email or make an account or something to save my progress across devices? That’s all. ### 3/5 — Schön, aber ab einem Punkt echt langweilig *2026-04-18* Ich liebe dieses Spiel, aber ich habe ein paar Sachen zu sagen. Erstens kann man Gegenstände in Häusern irgendwie immer nur entweder an die hintere oder an die rechte Wand stellen, das ist nervig. Vielleicht kann man auch machen dass man von oben auf die Häuser gucken kann und die Sachen auch an die Wände stellen kann wo man nicht direkt drauf schaut. Zweitens, warum gibt es nur männliche Idole? Ich würde mir wirklich wünschen das man auch Idole anderen Geschlechtes ausbilden könnte. Vielleicht auch eine extra App für weibliche Idols, das wäre Mega toll. Drittens wäre es echt toll, wenn man Kpop Gruppen machen könnte. Die meisten Kpop Idole sind ja in Gruppen, deshalb wäre das genial. Und viertens wird es ab einem bestimmten Punkt leider Mega langweilig, wenn man schon alles freigeschaltet hat und überhaupt nichts mehr erreichen kann. Dieser Punkt ist finde ich zu schnell erreicht. Diese Sachen könnte man noch ändern. Ansonsten super Spiel! **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for playing our game and feedback, we really appreciate it. We'll share it with our developers. ### 2/5 — Idols Sing Along *2026-04-17, version 1.4.3* Hi! I was just wondering if you could fix the sing along mini game because once I complete a round, I can’t help to stop playing this and have to continue, when continuing the mini game suddenly has a issue and there are no arrows or nearly anything except for the background and music. I was hoping you could fix this bug. Thank you ### 4/5 — Repeat cards *2026-04-15, version 1.4.3* I keep getting repeat cards and no new ones and when I think I’m going to get a new card it’s just a new character that I don’t want or need. ### 5/5 — I swear to God my idol *2026-04-07, version 1.4.3* Are so picky broo ### 5/5 — this is a very cute and fun game if you are bored *2026-04-06, version 1.4.3* i really love this game because im into kpop and there a game where you can be a manegar and level up characters and all that which i relaly love and you get to customize customize the characters and stuff ### 3/5 — Bug or Scam *2026-04-01, version 1.4.3* You’re probably wondering why I put the word scam in the title. Whenever I click on anything that requires an AD, it sometimes “glitches” and does not count it. In other words, I have to repeatedly click on said item in order for it to work. I also noticed it does not count an AD unless it is a video. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I hate this game!!!!!!!!!!! *2026-07-11, version 1.4.3* I keep miss on thing and it Temu pjsk!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Wanted to like this game *2026-03-22, version 1.4.3* I really did. The characters are adorable, the concept is really cute, and it’s a great way to spend time. But I could go on and on about the bugs. Idols will level up twice in a row for no reason. Idols will appear twice in the same office and even interact with each other. You can’t leave the rhythm game after finishing a level, you have to close the app and open it again. The ad bonuses don’t even work half the time, even if I sit through them all the way to the end. Please, for the love of God, update this game. I really want to like it, and I have fun when it does work. But it has to work ALL THE TIME to be a good game. ### 1/5 — 文字 *2026-02-06* テキストが出てこない。。。 **Developer response:** Hello, we are sorry that you are experiencing an issue with the game. Please send us a message from the settings section of your game so we can help you. Thanks for playing! ### 1/5 — Good but bad. *2026-01-10* Im softlocked one task tab done before the second level for TWO WEEKS, and I don’t want to reset all my game. So 1 star. **Developer response:** Hello, we are sorry that you are experiencing an issue with the game. Please send us a message from the settings section of your game so we can help you. Thanks for playing! ### 1/5 — 💥 *2025-11-01, version 1.3.11* Can’t redeem anything every time I watch the ads. Always restarting the game. Don’t bother getting it on the iPad. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2025-10-30, version 1.3.11* When I play the rhythm game mini game, I always freeze after it ends and I have to restart the game. Also, half of the time, I don’t get an extra idol card after watching ads. It just brings me back to the “watch ad for idol card” screen and I can only click no. Once these are fixed I will give the game wayyyy more stars. ### 1/5 — CM詐欺 *2025-09-26* 広告動画を見てアイテムやカードが貰えるのですがここ2日ほどどのCMを見させられてもアイテムやレベルアップのカードが貰えません。 ただの広告動画詐欺です。 またこちらのゲームはプレイ時間よりも広告動画を見る時間の方が長い。 広告動画を見ないとレベルアップもコインも手に入らず進めないのでしんどくなります。 広告の件は早く改善してください。 また150秒+15秒というとんでもない長さの広告動画は勘弁して欲しいです ### 1/5 — ts so boring *2025-08-23, version 1.3.5* Cute visuals! ….aaaand that’s where the gameplay ends. It literally just looks cute for 2 minutes and then it’s “tap one button wait 5 minutes, tap another button wait 5 minutes” on repeat. ### 1/5 — New update is a no *2025-07-28, version 1.3.5* With newest update the game is now on a fixed orientation- like not landscape vs portrait (I understand that) but there is only ONE direction you can hold your device to play (instead of either way in landscape mode)… that is a huge turnoff and may end up being the thing that makes me stop playing the game despite many other consistent minor annoyances. ### 1/5 — I CANT EVEN PLAY IT… *2025-02-03, version 1.3* So, i was so excited to play i clicked it….CRASH! I tried again …. CRASH!!!! Idk if it’s my ipad or the game.. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing game! *2026-07-30, version 1.4.3* 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! ### 5/5 — Ngl! *2026-07-15, version 1.4.3* Omgggg this game is too cuteeee the character designs r starting to make me blush!!! Ahhhhhh but however when I do the left a right arrow game I get stuck there at the end I would like that fixed! But ngl I’m just happy with this game! :3 ### 5/5 — This game is so so so so fun! *2026-06-19, version 1.4.3* I love this game so much it’s really fun and I love it. Can there be more idols though?
