### 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 👍🏻

### 4/5 — Pretty Good, Only One Complaint

*2020-05-26, version 6.9.2*

I love this game, but I took about a two-year break from it. Afterwards, I really wanted to reset my account, a.k.a. get rid of all my data. There is no easy, if even possible way, to delete the data if you are on iOS. I would like to ask KLab to add an option in setting to delete all account data, it would most likely be associated with that “SIF ID” or whatever that is.

TL;DR : KLab, please add a delete data button to the game.

### 5/5 — I survived Idol hell!

*2020-03-20, version 6.9.1*

Great game. Not for everyone, even if you are a fan of the Love Live franchise due to the fact that repetition can cause you to lose interest in the overall game after playing for so long. 
Give it a chance, there’s amazing music and characters here. I’ve played for several years now and finally decided to “graduate” from the game. Thank you Love Live! I’ll always be a fan and continue to cheer on the girls and their voice actresses! (^_^)-b

### 5/5 — Keep up the work! (Please add trading btw)

*2020-03-11, version 6.9.1*

You’re working really hard and I love everything that this game has! Your team even had created all stars! I’m patiently waiting that one day you will add trading to this game and hopefully trade with others. I think many people are asking for you to do this but we’re all supporting you so please make our wish come true! 
From: Not your number one fan but a fan(°▽°)

### 5/5 — The chaotic good of rythym games

*2020-02-26, version 6.9.1*

Over the past couple of years ive played a few rhythm games, but none are as addicting and fun to play as LLSIF. Ive played for a couple years now (took breaks but always came back) and I just adore this game. It proves that you have to take your time to understand and get these types of games. While I love the cards, I would love more instances to get better cards without it being a gamble, as I am free to play. 
Overall, sunk literal months into this game.
Its pretty good. 9/10

### 5/5 — Space is an issue

*2019-08-25, version 6.5.0*

I absolutely love this game. I’ve been playing for nearly three or four years now, and it’s absolutely perfect. The problem is how much space it takes up. It’s like I have to constantly redownload it to free up space because as the app grows I have less room. I used to be able to have like six games I’d play on my iPad, but I had to delete all of them to get love live. I’m still a pretty devoted player but if it continues growing and I can’t support it anymore, I might just have to stop playing.

### 5/5 — a glitch?

*2019-07-27, version 6.5.0*

so the cheer campaign is going on at the moment, and i wanted to get as many cheer points as i could so i could get the awards. i read the rules and it said i get 2 points per love gem used, so i was like okay, that’s pretty cool. so i was gaining the cheer points from the login bonuses and stuff and then suddenly on the 24th, it stopped logging my cheer points. i have scouted maybe 2 or 3 times since then,  a 50 and two 30’s so i really should have 220 more than i do now, but it just stopped logging it since the 24th. i don’t know whether it’s a glitch, because correct me if i’m wrong, the campaign is on part 3 and is still ongoing. i don’t know why it would end earlier than expected. i would have gotten the rewards had i got my cheer points... but i didn’t and i’ve been stuck on the same number. (edit: also, i’ve been noticing that the overall cheer points have been going up, meaning that other people are gaining them. i don’t understand why this is happening :/...) please fix this if it’s a bug, or please reply to me if it’s not a bug and the campaign is over or something. thanks!

### 4/5 — help

*2019-07-22, version 6.5.0*

i love the game i’ve been playing it for years. it’s a really great game. i’d just love if it were easier to get back into your account. i lost my old phone and so with that my old account was lost. i didn’t get to screenshot or keep my ID number or anything of that sort. I wish it would go back to how it was when you just needed your ID number to get back in as it would be easier. i had friends on there that could recover my old ID but the thing is i needed to login with a SIF login when i tried to get back in. i never made or had one. please take this into consideration.

### 5/5 — Song Variety

*2019-07-11, version 6.5.0*

I randomly decided to return to this app after taking a break for several months. To my surprise, they’d added more rock and metal influenced tracks, thanks to the Saint Snow storyline. As a metalcore fan, I was very happy to see this. I’m also glad that Kowareyasuki is now always playable. Poppy songs are the safe bet, so I’m glad to see that this game has something for music lovers of all kinds!

### 5/5 — One of the best mobile games out there

*2019-07-07, version 6.5.0*

This game is a very good game, I have been playing this game for 2 and a half years and I haven't gotten bored of it 1 bit. Shoutouts to the creators of the game because they really care about their fans and fanbase. The game has a good story and so many songs. The only thing I wish they would do is add the English voice actors of the anime into the game. But I'm not worried about it. One of the best mobile games out there, and one of my favorite.

### 5/5 — Card trade?

*2019-05-28, version 6.4.1*

Hello!
I absolutely love LLSIF it’s so addicting and fun to play! But I was wondering why can’t you trade cards in LLSIF? Earlier me and my friend were looking through our SSR and UR members and we saw cards that we both liked from each other’s account and we thought we could trade them with each other but there wasn’t any feature on the game to do that which kind of made me sad so that gave me an idea maybe the creators of LLSIF could add card trading into the game! I was thinking that if you have a card that you don’t want but you don’t want to remove you could put it up for trade for a card that you would want! Or you could also trade your cards for G love gems or friend points for scouting! I feel like this is a good idea to put in the game and it lets players earn more cards that they want instead of removing the ones they don’t want!
If anyone from the companies that make this game reads this please add this into he game I feel like this will be a great feature for the game and will expand the community of LLSIF!
Thank you in advance

### 5/5 — goals?

*2019-02-16, version 6.3.2*

Ok so i love this app and everything, but there is one thing that annoys me. In the recent update (the SEGA collaboration) my goals said that if i play a certain song with all aquors members i get a sega ticket. I have been redoing this over and over again and i still cannot get the ticket even though i have formed a team with all aquors members. I know this event will end soon but please fix it because i hate wasting all of my LP on something that doesnt even give me an award.

### 1/5 — Abysmal rates

*2019-11-04, version 6.6.0*

Update: And this pumpkin campaign. Gacha based with emphasis on spending gems for higher and more useful rewards. The only grinding on this server is through your wallet. Thanks for alienating the f2p. 

Been playing for a while. Took a step back and looked at the bigger picture. Lack of rewards compared to other idol/rhythm games. 1% ur rates and if klab feels generous, a "whopping" 3%!! Trying to get specific sis even lower. Lack of safety nets, rewards for loyalty, free scouts to encourage gambling just to get that 1 jpeg to fit your teams. Look at the tier 1 event scores. Pay to win indeed. And the catch up to jp app doesn't help either. So much for saving up gems. The sad part is with the recent ssr re-releases on jp, the unlimited lp campaigns and free scouting, I have teams nearly as strong as my en account...except I didn't spend money on it with only 200 days in. Not another dollar out of me, en klab.

### 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

### 2/5 — Great game, load times make it unplayable

*2020-05-30, version 6.9.2*

I really like this game but the load times make it nearly impossible to play. Unless you are sitting down to dedicate an hour to your update, download and play time this is not the game for you. 

I look for games that meaningful interaction can happen in a 15 min window, the LoveLive team just don’t have the state of the art software management philosophy and it has caused me to just delete the game altogether. I had hoped for improvements year after year, but no. 8 years down the road and it is actually worse. 

Best of luck.

### 2/5 — Updates way too often

*2020-05-13, version 6.9.1*

I really like the gameplay, but every time I want to play, there’s an update that takes about 5 minutes. I usually like to play when I have a few minutes while I’m waiting for something because it usually takes about 5-10 minutes to use up my lp, but when there’s a 5 minute update every time, it turns me away from the game. In addition, it won’t update in the background. If I close the app, it stops or cancels the update. So, I can’t use my phone for up to 10 minutes while it’s updating. So, I rarely play anymore because I’m too busy. If I have a few minutes, I can burn my lp to get the experience in 3 minutes, but if there’s a 5 minute update, that takes up all my time and I won’t get to play. 

I also think it would be cool to be able to trade cards between players.

### 2/5 — Please Update The Game!

*2019-10-24, version 6.6.0*

I find it frustrating that every time I play a song I get false misses on the notes. It doesn’t matter how much pressure I apply on the screen, it just chooses not to register taps occasionally. I’ve tried soft resetting multiple times but find that even then there are times it still doesn’t work. It’s annoying having to soft reset the game multiple times just to play a couple songs and it makes it hard to progress in the story. I hope the developers find a way to fix this otherwise I’m not sure if I’ll continue playing- which is a shame since the visuals are great and the songs even more so.

### 2/5 — STOP RELEASING MUSE SETS SO SLOWLY

*2019-03-21, version 6.4.0*

Okay, it’s just frustrating at this point. There are more than enough muse sets out that this shouldn’t be a problem anymore. It’s unnecessary, annoying, and redundant. I’ve been playing this game since 2014, and I am sick and tired of waiting 2 months for a full muse set to finally come out. Release them in sets of 2 like it used to be. 4 is just too time consuming and annoying. You have no problems with releasing the aqours sets in 2s, and we’re more caught up set wise in them but muse you refuse to release faster. Please just change it back.

### 2/5 — Fun, but not generous compared to other games

*2018-04-15, version 5.5.1*

I've been playing this game since 2014 and while I love it and can't see myself deleting it, I do have to say that it's pretty money hungry compared to other idol games like Idolmaster Cinderella girls. In IMAS, they give away so many gems and free pulls from time to time to celebrate things like itunes store ranking and other things, while whenever Love Live wants to celebrate things, it almost always involves special discount packs in the store that you have to buy, and then just one or two love gems a day. I know it costs money to work on and support a game, but it really feels like this game prioritizes money over players.

### 3/5 — Screen responsive areas

*2019-07-11, version 6.5.0*

I’ve been playing this for years and I absolutely love it, but recently I switched to a iPhone XS which has different screen dimensions from those with the home button. For now I see the same extra space is filled with a print but I have a feeling the dead space is still responsive to touch since many times the game didn’t pick up taps and slides from my finger and my palm is on the dead space. It’s really disheartening when that prevents you from getting a full combo :(

### 3/5 — Was fun before until I got my AirPod

*2018-05-16, version 5.5.1*

Now that I’m using my AirPods, the sounds when I press the notes during the lives are always a bit late. So it would always throw me off beat. As a result I always have to result to using my old earphones. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next update. Because I’ve been playing less and less as it’s sometimes too much of a chore to switch earphones just to play the game. But other than that, the game is overall very fun and stimulating.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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! ;)

### 5/5 — Please translate cards and card information.

*2020-05-17, version 6.9.1*

After this update all of the cards and cards information has been in English. I check language setting and it says it’s set up as Korean but some of the informations are still in English. Please fix the translation. Other wise it’s really good game to play when you’re bored to death.

### 5/5 — JP Events

*2020-04-16, version 6.9.1*

I absolutely love this app, and I’d say that practically everything within the app is perfect! One thing I’ve been wanting to say for a while though is that I (and I’m assuming many other LLSIF players,) really want events/features that are similar to the ones going on on the Japanese LLSIF server. 

Klab... PLEASE reflect the amount of events that the JP server has onto the worldwide server ;-; the current spring event is absolutely amazing and I really hope the worldwide server will have something just as good soon enough!

### 5/5 — Oh no there’s a problem (please read)

*2020-04-12, version 6.9.1*

Hello, I’ve been playing the event and it doesn’t show my rank! Also when I play I don’t get EXP. I’m level 139 and so close to 140 I really want to get there and it won’t let me. But I do still love the game I’ve been playing sense 2016! And I’ve also been trying to get the Riko title but the song is never available:( . Thank you for reading and stay safe 😊❤️
