### 2/5 — Will translations and notifications ever work?

*2023-03-15*

As others have mentioned, translation services like on Lysn don’t work so really you’d have to find translations of any notices elsewhere if you’re not fluent in Korean. In addition, I never receive notice notifications even though I have notifications on. I have to find out about scheduling cancellations, artist posts, and anything else official by going and manually checking myself or through social media, which beats the purpose of having the app and paying for the ACE memberships, in my opinion. Really really hope they fix this, I was really excited to see improvements especially with the introduction of the ACE memberships but I’ve only been disappointed ):

### 1/5 — No translations

*2023-02-10, version 1.2.4*

This app is not meant for international fans. All post that are in Korean do not have an option to translate it to your preferred language. I purchased ACE membership and wasted my money due to this. The lysn app was much better.

### 1/5 — TRASH

*2023-01-26, version 1.2.3*

The app is literally inaccessible it will not let me log in; I get a bad gateway timeout after I enter my password.

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2023-01-15, version 1.2.1*

As an international fan that uses their Lysn (bubble) app to communicate with artists I was upset when they disabled the community feature. They announced that they would be making the KWANGYA club app instead. It was easy to use and I get notifications from it. The problem is there is never a translation button. They also post things in the app that fans can’t see unless they want to pay a re-accruing fee. This new “ace club” feature allows fans that pay to see photos that the artists post as individuals or as a group…. Another issue I have is that they post a accurate schedule for fan call and or fansign events but of course unless you fluently read Korean, you can’t understand anything. I have been trying to win one but struggle even trying to see when it is. I will say that the app does have some strong points. They added new features for fans that are interested in going to events and or concerts and notify you in advance of when these things occur. But between me not being able to properly understand what I’m reading and me constantly getting kicked out of my account, I had to give this zero stars. Until it is as smooth and useful as the community feature on their Lysn app it will stay at one star for me(I wanted to leave it at zero but I was forced to give it something).

### 1/5 — Notifications no longer working

*2023-01-06, version 1.2.0*

If I could chose a half-star rating, I would. I have done everything suggested by app support to fix the issue of not receiving notifications but none of it has worked. I even tried to contact app support but trying to communicate the issue that way is difficult because all of the correspondence is in Korean. Then, of course, is the issue on the app itself of how app users still cannot translate ANY of the posts from Korean into English. It seems to me that nothing about this app is working correctly at the moment. Please fix these issues or I may have to cancel my ACE membership because using this app service is starting to become a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Not a Global Friendly App

*2023-01-06, version 1.2.0*

This app is only beneficial to those who know Korean, it doesn’t even translate most content, even though it asks you your preferred language. Ace membership also gives international fans no form of benefits so there was no purpose of them making this app and they should’ve remained with Lysn.

### 1/5 — How is this a global app?!

*2022-12-20, version 1.2.0*

If English is your primary language, don’t bother downloading this app. Lysn at least translates notices but this one is in Korean. Unless, you’re a WayV fan then you’ll get Korean and Chinese. Which is crazy because 127 is a global group but none of their notices were translated to English even when it was regarding their US Tour. If you don’t want iFans in this space don’t make it available to us.

### 2/5 — Translations WHEN?!

*2022-11-30, version 1.1.4*

Can we PLEASE get an update with the ability to translate? Also, could alternate-language versions of long notices please be posted??? PLEASE

### 1/5 — Horrible App: keep crashing

*2022-11-20, version 1.1.2*

Horrible app / crashing too often / Login fails / it kicks me out all the time / poor interface / unable to reply to celebrity’s comments / late notifications :(( I miss lysn platform☹️ (at least they didn’t crash like kwangya club)
