### 4/5 — Bittersweet Farewell

*2023-02-06, version 9.10*

I have many fond memories of this game. I discovered it in my last year of middle school, and have played semi-regularly since then. It was fun collecting cards of my favorite girls and tiering in events! Although I will say the last few years of the game (late 2019 - now) saw the lowest quality of the game with the “sets”— just 2 URs, and the once (1) a month event. I am eagerly awaiting SIF2 and having all of the groups in the game! 💚 Rin, Dia, Sumire & Emma!

### 5/5 — bittersweet farewell

*2023-02-03, version 9.10*

I’ve been playing sif since it came out and I’m so sad to see it go next month (i am excited abt the new game dont get me wrong!) but this game has gone through so much with me, as weird as it sounds. It’s my comfort game, i’ll play when i get anxiety or not feeling well it has never ceases to make me feel better, this will be a bitter sweet farewell for me. Thank you for all the fun memories you’ve given me sif, we will meet again :3c

### 5/5 — Great game! So addictive!

*2022-11-24, version 9.9*

I first got into love live a while ago, but during the pandemic it basically kept me sane. I love all the idols (Eli is best girl tho) and connect with them all. The gameplay is smooth and rarely ever lags, and all the cards\animation is very high quality. A few things though- after you clear all of the master mode songs, it becomes incredibly difficult to get love gems without paying. Another thing to improve is that (and I KNOW I’m not the first to say this) is if we could trade cards in love live. That would be such a great addition to the game and would make playing with friends funner. Overall, this game is fun and it helps me with my anxiety by helping calm me down when i get incredibly upset. Thank u to all the creators who designed this amazing game, and for anyone considering playing this game I will say that this is a great choice!

### 5/5 — Super fun and addictive!

*2022-04-16, version 9.6.2*

So ive been playing this for about two months or so and i am addicted! The character cards are super cute, my favorite idol would most likely be nico! I have really no complaints this game is super fun and i love the songs! I recommend this game for beginner rhythm game folks, and idol game enjoyers! I love this game and can't wait for new collabs and updates! (^·^)

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS GAME (but tired of multiple updates)

*2021-08-07, version 9.2.1*

Honestly I’ve been playing this game since 2013 and I love the music and gameplay, but honestly…I’m getting a bit tired of this game getting updated multiple times. Yeah, the seasonal updates and stuff are good, but it’s almost every time I open the game I always have to update it whether it’s big or small.

### 5/5 — amazing!

*2021-07-20, version 9.1.2*

i love this game so much. i was introduced to it by my sisters when i was young, and have no regrets!! i love all the free stuff you get, the fun point of the game, the beautiful and creative cards and raritys! one thing about the game that makes me mad is so i recently got a new phone, my first phone, to be exact. i have been playing love live on my ipad since i got it, and i'm inable to transfer my save data from my ipad to my phone, considering now i'll probably be more on my phone now. i've looked for ways to find save slots when i download the app to my phone, but i can never find anything. all of the data from my ipad has been transferred to my phone except for love live, which is really frustrating. i'm going to keep the 5 star review though because overall this game is amazing!! would definitely recommend.

### 2/5 — so sad :(

*2021-05-14, version 7.1.0*

I loved this game a lot when i was younger and I got so far, so when i had to change my phone i didn’t play for a while. then suddenly i decided to download it again and i had so many amazing cards and the new SIF ID won’t let me get my account back without asking me to know the exact date of when i first started the game and the first event that was going on, making it basically impossible to get back into my account. I really couldn’t stand having to do years of hard work again… so i gave up :( still rlly sad because that was one of my favorite games </3

### 5/5 — Favorite Rhythm Game

*2021-03-21, version 7.1.0*

This game is my absolute favorite, I have been playing it for about 2 (almost 3) years. While I don’t give the actual story much attention unless it involves Hello Happy World!, all the characters are very cool :) (very big Kaoru lover ^~^) , it’s not too hard to get the stars either! I have almost 8000 saved right now waiting for a HHW specific gacha :) , though sometimes the gacha can be frustrating. In my long long time of pulling, I’ve only pulled ONE Michelle card, so take that as you will ^_^ still an amazing game and one I recommend to any friend who will listen.

### 4/5 — Game is a bit confused but it’s got the spirit

*2021-01-24, version 7.1.0*

In this game, the word “bad” is bad, but “good” is also bad, you should just give up a song after you see a “good” unless you are just focusing on simply completing the song, if that’s what you are after then keep going. If you want full combo then just restart the whole song. That’s how bad the word “good” is in this game. Great game overall, It’s a bit confused, but it’s got the spirit 👍🏻

### 5/5 — Excuse me people!!!

*2020-06-29, version 6.9.2*

This DOES NOT deserve hate or 4.6 stars! EVERY SINGLE PERSON in this world should love this!!! So about the game, I think this is SO PERFECT but I do have a tiny problem with the storage. So the club room is full and even the waiting room! That means that my present box will be very full but other than that, ALL OF THE SONGS makes me feel INSANELY addicted and I will do whatever it TAKES to make EVERYONE LOVE this instead of HATE! I mean it with all my heart!!! Love Live! Is the best anime in the whole world and everyone NEEDS to know about this! Oh! I also have a small confusion. So basically, I keep on loosing SR and SSR members and have no idea why the game removed them from the club room. But I am NOT gonna complain one bit about it. Keep up the insane hard work and I will support LOVE LIVE!!! >w<

Edit: I have a tiny problem with the live shows too. It said I can tap anywhere so when I tapped near a note, I missed but again, I won’t complain! ;)
