I wish there was a sleep mode though like as if the guy is next to me as I sleep or something cause I keep waking up to poke him ### 5/5 — Adorable Anime Boys *2016-06-13, version 7.1.1* As everyone said,the music is calming and relaxing,The scenarios are adorable in this,I didn't understand what it said at first but while I continued I see they're are subtitles whenever they talk,which is a helpful thing in this app,And it sounds like the characters are next to/near the listeners ### 5/5 — Very enjoyable *2016-06-12, version 7.1.1* This game has such calming music and voices, both incredible and lovely to listen to. The things these boys say will really make you feel loved, I reccomend listening to these when you're feeling lonely, wether you're single and feel unloved or your boyfriend is busy and can't talk. This game really keeps me company when I feel lonesome, and I'm sure you'll love it too!! I highly reccomend!! ### 5/5 — This game is awesome! *2016-06-11, version 7.1.1* I really love this game! It's a really nice game with amazingly calming music and awesome voice acting! I usually use this game to help me fall asleep at night, the calming voices sooth me down and the music makes me so mellow at night, it's amazing! You'll love this game and love the boys in this game! The only problem with it is that you have to pay for a good amount and I would like it if I were able to skip text I've already read. There are a lot of opportunities for getting free voice packs, so I can't complain about the money situation all that much. Still an amazing game non the less and should totally be tried out! ### 5/5 — Love It *2016-06-04, version 7.1.1* This is fun to play when I'm bored or when I'm about to sleep I hope there is going to be more and I was think maybe if you can add a little bit more place we can touch like a couch or table and maybe a some image to those touch can we can feel more like we are close to the characters ### 5/5 — Very Reassuring *2016-05-24, version 6.2.1* I'm the kind of gal who gets stressed VERY easily. It's lovely to hear a calm, reassuring voice to help me relax. I'd recommend headphones, because it sounds like they're right next to you, and moving from ear to ear. There's a lot of responses. However, there are a lot more in add-on purchases. Many are just a tweet, and you have many new tracks. I don't think it's necessary, you have lots of responses as it is. If you want to relax, this app is for you. ### 5/5 — The voice you've been searching for 💕 *2016-05-09, version 7.0.1* So all of the voice actors are amazing!! Like seriously listen to them all cus they sound so ugh 😍 Almost everything is free so you should definitely get this app ### 5/5 — Very cute *2016-04-23, version 7.0.1* The art work is very nice and the whole concept of the game is nice as well. It's honestly a very calming game because the voice actors have such soft and cute voices the background music is also calming as well. The only thing is that when I got a notification once it was in Japanese and I couldn't read that cx. Also if the translations were slightly better because in the subtitles the sentence on the screen isn't in correct English. Also if the directions were in English that would be great. ### 5/5 — If you like voice actors whispering in your ear... *2016-04-22, version 7.0.1* The fact they use the dummy head mics just....argh you can't even relax while listening to them! I highly recommend if you like the voice actors in the app! ### 5/5 — SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! *2016-04-15, version 7.0.1* I can't not love this app, I've never seen an app like this before and I'm glad I found it. I love it so much, I just wish that different settings in the albums for the guys weren't all locked , I mean I really wish they were free. I was actually hoping if you could a scene with a yandere boyfriend or a high school boyfriend. Something like if you can, I would seriously love that!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to love this app but it is now broken and unplayable. *2020-12-27, version 9.0.3* This app used to be one of my favorites. The voice actors are great and I love the dominant/submissive dynamic; it’s a theme I haven’t seen in any other voice apps I’ve played which makes this app stand out as offering a unique experience. I just re-downloaded this app but was saddened to find it no longer works. Every time I try to download the voice files, it won’t download them. The progress bar moves as if it’s downloading the sound files but after it finishes I’m just prompted to download the voice files again. No matter which series I select, it won’t download the voice files and just continues to prompt me to download them over and over. No part of the app works. I rate this app at 1 star since it is impossible to play anymore. If it was fixed, I would gladly give it 5 stars. I hope this game gets an update to fix it in the near future. As it is now, I recommend no one bother downloading it because there’s no point. ### 2/5 — Cant even play *2021-01-18, version 9.0.3* Everytime I click on one it asked me to download a track and I can never play even when I press yes it asks me again and again ### 2/5 — Good app- it's just not my cup of tea 🤷🏻‍♀️ *2020-03-13, version 9.0.3* Now don't get it twisted my two star review isn't because it's a bad app- in fact it's really well made, great voice actors, all the modes you can choose from are cool and the art is pretty although i'm not a fan of the be dominating/get dominated one art the guys just look weird and ugly to me in that one. It's just that this app isn't my cup of tea and I kinda don't understand what the purpose of it is. So from what i've played so far it's just an otome/anime guy still picture and you click on him and he says things, btw you can pick which guy you want to do. There's no story and no movement just a still picture and him talking when you tap on him and most of the time I get repeats. Like I said i'm not bashing this app at all it's just not my thing, if there was more you can do like he moved and there was animation between him and MC I might like it but like this no it got boring within a couple of seconds. But the voices are great and so is most of the art work so if this is your kinda thing I think you'll be happy :) Oh and by the way all of it is in Japanese except for it's translated to english when the guy talks. ### 3/5 — Not working *2020-12-18, version 9.0.3* So I just downloaded the app and I was super excited but for some reason the voices won’t download so I can’t even start it.... ### 3/5 — English *2019-05-18, version 9.0.3* I’ve just started playing and I’m not sure if it’s just me but I can’t find an English translation or subtitles. The audio is really good tho so I give it 3 stars ### 4/5 — The app is great it just the ads *2021-04-06, version 9.0.3* The app is great it give me motivation to think of romantic stuff for my future art work and ship art, the voice actor are amazing, and the characters design are great , I love the app in general. The one thing that bother me of this app is the coin I like that you could watch ads to get some especially since I can’t pay for the rest of the voices so I don’t mind watching some ads and I like that especially since I don’t have the money to do it and don’t want to ask my mom to do it for me. what bother me is that you have to wait 14 minutes to watch one ads, it would make sense to me if it said you can watch five ads and you have to wait for 14 minute but one ads in my opinion doesn’t make sense to me so yeah, but I still love the app is great and I’ll keep listening to my favorite boi Hajime hehe ### 4/5 — I like the directional recording! *2019-04-14, version 9.0.3* I've always liked when the audio went from one ear to another. Not really sure why, plus, as someone with anxiety it's very comforting to hear a calm, even voice or even a playful one! I'm giving it 4 stars only because I'm broke at the moment and can't fully purchase all of the options. However, if you enjoy dummyhead recordings, I HIGHLY recommend this to you! ### 4/5 — Melting *2016-09-04, version 7.1.4* The voice and texts are just so sweet. I would have given 5 stars if everything was free but the world doesn't work like that. I would also have expected everything to be inside and not have to individually download when I want to listen to them. ### 4/5 — I love it! *2016-08-30, version 7.1.4* This is an amazing game, the voice acting is amazing and fits each character wonderfully. It sounds like they're actually talking/whispering right into your ear. I love it! Although it's quite pricey to buy other packs, and it'd be lovely if there was a full English translation. But other than that, I love it! ### 4/5 — Good app, I just wish they would translate more *2016-02-26, version 6.2.1* I like this app, they guys are super sexy and everything. But I just wish that they would translate things like when you click on the info button or when you hit the menu. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — from jiyuo *2021-11-15, version 9.0.3* In the beginning, it was amazing! All the characters have good lines and acted like they were really!!! ### 5/5 — Omg it’s working again!? *2021-03-28, version 9.0.3* Weirdly enough the app is working for me again. I hope it’s working for anyone else who comes to check up in it. Idk why happened but thank you whoever fixed it. ### 5/5 — Really great beginnings~ *2019-04-29, version 9.0.3* I hope there is a lot more planned for this app! I really enjoy both the art, the voice acting, and the options of different scenarios! I think they could expand on a lot of possible aspects, maybe add mouth movement or additional CGs or special CGs. I would really enjoy a love meter that increases over time as you interact, maybe more interaction types over time, and special rewards for the time you spend cultivating the relationship! I really appreciate the simple way they implemented to get free coins, and I don’t even really mind the ads at the bottom. I only wish that the longer dialogue text wasn’t sometimes covered by it, so a text scroll would be nice, manual or automatic! There’s so many places to take this app, but even as it is, I enjoy it and want to invest my time into collecting coins and interacting with the characters. I hope to see more! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2018-11-15, version 9.0.3* I love it 😊 ### 5/5 — Fun *2017-11-22, version 9.0.2* They’ve really improved on the app. It’s still very fun to listen to. I just wish that you could use a currency in the app to pay for the packages instead of real money. ### 5/5 — Fav app!! *2017-03-24, version 9.0.2* definitley one of my favorite apps on my phone! very interactive & each scenario is surprisingly not too expensive. I kind of wish all of them were 99¢ but one more dollar isn't that much ### 5/5 — Cute and nice~ <3 *2017-01-21, version 9.0.2* I usually open this when I'm kind of down, since it totally lifts my mood ^_^ The voice actors did really good, the animation (or drawings) are really cute. I really enjoy it and I just downloaded another app from the same company, I'm hoping it will be as good. Thank you for this game, best regards :3 ### 5/5 — A cut above *2016-09-04, version 7.1.4* I've installed quite a few of these types of apps (my guilty pleasure haha), but I usually uninstall them after a few days. This one, however, is the first one that I plan to actually keep on my phone. It's incredibly well-made, with very smooth English subs/translations for about 99% of the app (no Engrish, really) and on top of that it's so interactive. The level of interaction is supremely innovative, and ultimately what made me decide to keep it. They're also very, very generous with what's given as free content. Love & Poke is honestly unlike any of the other "boyfriend" apps in the store. 5/5, excellent app. ### 5/5 — Cute! *2016-08-29, version 7.1.4* The voices are so relaxing, I tend to get lonely easily and this really helps. There are English subtitles for anyone wondering. One thing that might be nice to change is translating everything not just the basics, seeing their profiles in English would be nice. ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2016-07-28, version 7.1.4* Use earbuds because it makes it sound like they are whispering behind you and the voice acting is extremely relaxing even if you don't read what they are saying. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
