### 1/5 — Bye not the pink tax

*2026-07-05, version 2.31*

The concept of needing stars for this but not needing it in the male version of the game is lowkey odd idk 👀👀

### 5/5 — READ THIS

*2026-05-25, version 2.31*

Omg bro this game is AMAZING!!! Amazing graphics, amazing everything. Except, how do you get the star coins? Like, how exactly. I know one of the ways you get it is PAYING FOR IT WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WAY OF TRYING but I wanna know the FREE way. I made portraits with are absolutely GORGEOUS but how do you get star coins? 
P.S: I only rq the f this 5 stars so you can see it. It’s really only a 4 star

### 1/5 — Fraudulent

*2025-12-29, version 2.31*

I made an in app purchase to get more stars and I never received the stars. This is my first time buying from the app after many years of using this app. Don’t make any in app purchases because getting what you paid for isn’t guaranteed.

### 5/5 — Beautiful unique style

*2025-09-13, version 2.31*

Just so simple and easy to use. Beautiful art + no annoying storyline added unlike all the recent games today

### 4/5 — Options

*2025-07-22, version 2.31*

Could y'all please update this game🙏🏿it used to be my favorite as a kid, but now I'm looking at it and there's little options on designing them😭

### 4/5 — Love it, but needs some work

*2025-06-07, version 2.31*

So I love making characters digitally and this app is really great for that.It has a lot of variety and it is very simple to use and understand. The one issue it that the only way to save your character is by taking a picture of it in the app and when you do that it only saves to your photos.So a suggestion I have for the makers is to add a gallery IN THE APP to see all the characters you made. Also along with this Idea I would like to have a feature where you can name you’re characters. But otherwise 100% recommend if you like creating digital characters.

### 4/5 — restore purchases!

*2025-04-09, version 2.31*

would loooove to restore my purchase so i don’t have to spend more money years later

### 2/5 — It’s good! But…

*2025-02-09, version 2.31*

I love this game! But when I try to get stars it says I have no connection when I have full bars, and I have deleted and reinstalled the app but it seems to always say the same thing! This is also for the male version of the game… please, fix this!!

### 1/5 — No way to earn stars

*2024-12-27, version 2.31*

I used to really love this app, but now there is no way for you to earn stars. Every time I go to watch a video to earn stars, it says that there is no connection. And I’ve heard other users say that they purchased stars, but they didn’t show up. I am not risking purchasing any, so I haven’t experienced this myself, but I know that you used to be able to watch videos to earn free stars. A pretty sucky app if half the stuff is locked with no way to unlock it.

### 4/5 — Where is the star?

*2024-11-12, version 2.31*

Tôi nạp tiền vào rồi nhưng vẫn không thấy ngôi sao nào đc trả để tôi mua sắm đồ trong game, tiền cũng không thấy đi đâu về đâu??
