It just missing some things like auditions and trainee interactions. Adding auditions might let us players know their skills and their specialties. And adding more trainee interactions would be much more fun, there are recruited idols that are already in a relationship that should be shown also in the game. ### 3/5 — Jst don’t buy from the shop *2025-10-13, version 2.0.37* Yes ### 4/5 — Arielles Review *2025-10-09, version 2.0.37* It's very fun when you don't have WiFi around and it's entertaining to see how well you can succeed with each group you make ### 4/5 — reviews *2025-08-23, version 2.0.37* I like the game but why are the devs not updating anymore ### 5/5 — Gut *2025-08-17, version 2.0.37* Hat mich positiv überrascht, es ist simpel aber macht echt Spaß. ### 4/5 — ? *2025-07-20, version 2.0.37* it's a good game i just wish there was less ads. ### 5/5 — Elmas *2025-06-23, version 2.0.37* Elmas ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-06-10, version 2.0.37* Cool ### 5/5 — Special Skills? *2025-05-27, version 2.0.37* I’ve been playing this game on and off since it’s come out and is one of my absolute favorites! I do have some minor things I would like to see, but other than that not many complaints! I do have trouble with the ‘special talent’ of the artists and would like a way to search for trainees on the street with the special talent. Many times I’ll want a group to focus on certain talents, and I’ll search for real life days to find a trainee with the certain talents to boost the group. Like, if I want to create a group focused on vocal, it’ll take forever to find a trainee who specializes in vocal, or their skill as the tutorial calls it. That is my only request, is to make it easier to fine those trainees! Edit: I just thought of a cool feature while playing! It would be really fun if we could add friends, or brother/sister companies and trade trainees. Like you send a message to your brother company and say, hey, send me a trainee who has a skill in rapping, and if they have one they can send them over! You can either make your own subsidiary and create an empire (HYBE) or you can get a few people together and names the group a company name, and all of you can play as your own subsidiary under your group company. ### 5/5 — super *2025-04-08, version 2.0.37* i like English and Korean but better English in this game ### 5/5 — I can’t stop paying *2025-04-07, version 2.0.37* I like the game and its concept I’m currently working on my own K-pop Korean girl group named “Cherry Rush” and it’s going smoothly I would recommend you download it it’s a actual fun app game ### 5/5 — R *2025-04-05, version 2.0.37* Wpww ### 3/5 — Could have more things to do *2025-04-01, version 2.0.37* Cute but gets repetitive and I hate I have to do so much tapping omg ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-04-01, version 2.0.37* 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — cool game *2025-03-29, version 2.0.37* Awesome Game I love it and it pretty fun to play ### 5/5 — Rate *2025-03-23, version 2.0.37* Better than other games I played ### 5/5 — . *2025-03-20, version 2.0.37* mega spoko ale troche ciezka ### 4/5 — Very good game *2025-03-08, version 2.0.37* It’s a good game but you could add more things… Like : -streaming -ability to train the live vocals -the fact that we can add a song already released in an album (like pre release or things like this) -and be less strict about how many songs can have an album, like full albums with more (or less) than 12 songs and mini albums with more (or less) than 6 songs Sorry if I made mistakes I’m not English ~love❤️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t buy from the shop!!! *2025-07-23, version 2.0.37* The 90 diamonds is priced at $4.99 but when I purchased, $9.99 was taken out of my account.
