### 4/5 — I Paid For This Subscription,It Won’t Work!

*2026-01-13, version 2.8.4*

It’s Broken!

### 4/5 — It’s ending.

*2025-12-25, version 2.8.4*

Sad to see it go but hasn’t been updated in years so for the next to remove it from the App Store.   Kept hoping someone would bring it back but it’s not to be.

### 2/5 — Constantly Outdated

*2025-11-09, version 2.8.4*

Ash Evans still has an error when you try to redo his first date. Chase still never matches, EVER. So many matches go dark for months…they constantly reply to these reviews saying they’re taking the feedback to the design team, but nothing happens. This app has such potential, so many of us have spent so much money, and they just keep jerking us along. Highly annoyed and disappointed.

### 2/5 — Great app

*2025-10-16, version 2.8.4*

So I’m really enjoying the app it’s fun and entertaining but the cost for pics is to high and I’ve had problems especially recently where I try to load up the app and it keeps saying to update it but there isn’t an update. And I update my apps at least once a week so I’m frequently checking for updates. If this can be fixed then my rating would be at least a 4 star.

### 3/5 — App no longer working?

*2025-10-16, version 2.8.4*

Having a lot of fun with this app.  Unfortunately, when I opened the  app earlier this week, I  getting an error message saying I need to update the app. However, when I click on the link to the App Store, it says I have the most current version. :( Very sad bc I haven’t been able to log in for nearly a week now. Please fix this, and I will update to 5 stars :)

### 2/5 — Game won’t let me play as I just downloaded it 🤦‍♀️

*2025-10-15, version 2.8.4*

I wanted to try out this game and I just downloaded it, opened the app then it says the game needs an update so I go to update it and it doesn’t have the update button it just shows the open button, I deleted it and redownloaded it again, still won’t work.. please fix this

### 2/5 — update error?

*2025-10-11, version 2.8.4*

i've really enjoyed playing this game, but now every time i open the app it says it needs an update when there isn't even one available in the app store. i'd really appreciate if this was fixed so i don't lose any progress.

### 4/5 — Update not working

*2025-10-11, version 2.8.4*

When I attempt to log into the app, it says the app needs to be updated. When I go into the App Store, the app does not have the Update button it.

### 3/5 — Update

*2025-10-10, version 2.8.4*

So confused. I open the app and it says that it needs updated, I then proceed to open up this app to update it and no update is needed! This is crazy.

### 3/5 — Money pit

*2025-10-10, version 2.8.4*

I’ve played this game for a while and I do enjoy it but the options that are supposed to boost your meters are too expensive, you can’t buy new clothes unless you spend all you have saved for the good options, and it’s basically a buy these gems just to play kind of game. Practically a money pit. A shirt is like 200 gems and the good option is 150. You spend $5 for 50 gems? And some of the stories aren’t even completed.  It needs to be cheaper and offer more.

### 2/5 — Updates

*2025-10-09, version 2.8.4*

Hasnt been updated in a year or two, which kinda sucks. The diamonds system is still horrible as well.

### 3/5 — Amazing game… but

*2025-07-24, version 2.8.4*

I love this app, it’s a good way to build bonds with characters and I use it a lot. Now, I had to take a week off since I was going on vacation with family so I wasn’t on at all. I came back  and one of the characters I’ve put the most time and effort into unmatched me. So be warned, they will unmatched you if you don’t talk after a while. I don’t completely like this since people usually have to take off day or weeks. Please take this into account when taking time off from the app. Very upset by this, understandable this is supposed to be realistic but I was very upset when this happened.

### 3/5 — Quite pricey

*2025-06-28, version 2.8.4*

it’s got great art and great stories, however having to pay 150 gems for an intimate scene while only receiving around 15 gems a day seems too steep. I tried completing rewards but never received the gems either. It just is very unmotivating not being able to play the way you want to, being stuck behind a pay wall, if there was any easier way to get gems or a lowered gem cost to unlock pictures and certain dialogue choices then the game would be perfect. I personally wouldn’t mind having to watch multiple ads to stack up gems, rather than being limited to just the one ad.

### 2/5 — Don’t download

*2025-06-27, version 2.8.4*

This app hasn’t updated stories that I read 4 years ago. Just indefinitely offline. Don’t waste money or time this is obviously an abandoned game.

### 4/5 — Love it but confused

*2025-06-26, version 2.8.4*

I love this game and really enjoy it! I lose track of time playing it. But the only problem I’m having is I played it once before and then made a new account but on both I haven’t been able to match with certain characters. My avatar looks different and it’s a whole different account but I’m still only matching with the same 5 characters

### 2/5 — Love this game, but having an issue

*2025-06-18, version 2.8.4*

Love this game used to play this few years ago. The only reason I’m reading this so poor is because I’m playing with the ash character and I’m at a point where I press to go out and it says an error has occurred so I’m unable to keep playing with his character if there’s any way to fix this bug, I spent a lot of gyms on this app and don’t want to get my data deleted if I delete the app

### 2/5 — love and heartache

*2025-06-17, version 2.8.4*

i loved this game! and i had gotten so far in it. i had gotten a new phone and when i tried opening the app all i was met with was the loading screen, and so i was forced to delete it and redownload it and all my characters and chats are gone :(

### 1/5 — Loved it but can’t get in

*2025-11-05, version 2.8.4*

I loved this game, even with lack of stories. Now it needs and update to play and Apple is dragging their feet. I can’t log in at all to continue playing a game I spent money on. I’m so sad! I just want to play. 😢

### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX Updated

*2025-10-18, version 2.8.4*

The app no longer gives an error message due to needing to update. Unfortunately, now it won’t let me long in with my Apple Account, error L9-3. I could get in as a guest or new player, but I don’t really want to have to start over. I’ve cleaned the cache, reinstalled, etc. Please Help!

Original post:

HELP! For seemingly no reason when I opened the app earlier this week an error message saying I need to update the app prohibited me from playing. However, when I click on the link provided, it took me to the App Store, which says I have the most current version. I have done everything from restarting the phone, checking all my updates, deleting and reinstalling the app, etc., checking out the developer to contact directly like I can with other games only to not find any helpful support contact info. Now I’m :( Very sad bc I haven’t been able to log in for nearly a week now. Please fix this, and I will update to 5 stars :)

Review:
I’ve played this and all the similar apps. This is always in my top 2.  All these types of games are really fueled by diamonds and extra purchases, or purchasing “better” choices, but these app always seems to have consistent diamond cost per character, which isn’t true for similar apps where costs vary on the character you’re “dating” with newer ones sometimes being significantly pricier. Or where they allow you to match with both counterpart characters at the same time for full price on both!!! NOT COOL l!! Plus, I like the variety of characters and unique stories each char. has not just from others in the app, but from chars in other apps too. This is appreciated because there’s nothing more frustrating than realizing that you’ve played the same story in 3 diff apps bc the names are diff and you didn’t realize immediately. (True story so others beware if your story starts off with you getting kidnapped from Dojo or trying to drink escape your house only to be caught by your mom). I miss some of them and can’t wait to replay them, so in other words I’ve been having a lot of fun with this app. 
The downside is that I’ve played through most of the characters,  but there are several that I can’t match with even when they boosted “new” and when I confirmed the story was active and not a counter part to a char I already matched with. :( I also wish that there were a few more ways to increase diamond intake other than purchasing them.

### 1/5 — No update

*2025-10-17, version 2.8.4*

Was enjoying the game but now it just takes up space in my phone. Pity it’s outdated and there is no update available. And it won’t let me update to the newest version. I even deleted and redownloaded  and it still doesn’t work. Guess they gave up on it. I know they sold out a year ago but I still enjoyed playing.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-10-11, version 2.8.4*

Was enjoying, but now it keeps saying that it needs an update. Every time I open the App Store though, there is no update available.

### 1/5 — Please fix

*2025-10-11, version 2.8.4*

Won’t let me play without updating, but there is no update

### 1/5 — Scam.

*2025-10-10, version 2.8.4*

App crashed after spending a bunch of money. It says it’s out of date whenever I load the app but then shows no update needed. Sent in circles! I’ll have to delete the app to make it work and lose all the money I spent… plus all the progress.

### 1/5 — Outdated error

*2025-10-10, version 2.8.4*

I love Lovelink and have been playing for a long time, but now I can’t access the app at all. It keeps asking me to update, even though I already have the latest version installed. I’ve tried reinstalling the app, restarting my iPhone, and checking my internet connection, but nothing works. Please fix this issue as soon as possible – I don’t want to lose my progress!

### 1/5 — Outdated version

*2025-10-09, version 2.8.4*

Will not work and says needs updating to new update to work but does not give option to update. How?!

### 1/5 — Hidden Fees

*2025-09-14, version 2.8.4*

When I bought in game currency, I had no idea it was charging me 20 dollars more per purchase. For example, I bought a 10 dollar bundle and it charged me 30 dollars. IM GRAVELY DISAPPOINTED BY THIS

### 1/5 — Network Error

*2025-05-07, version 2.7.5*

I can’t play this app because network error pops up. I deleted the app and then re downloaded it again. Please get this app working for me. I am paying for a VIP account every month and this app stopped working.

### 5/5 — THE TOP APP FOR YOU

*2025-10-04, version 2.8.4*

Love this game and have had it for years. Stories are very interesting and tie together splendidly. Gems do take a while to acquire and i do wish a dark mode theme was able to be adjusted in the settings. Look forward to seeing future updates enhanced with those features please 🙌🙏

### 5/5 — Skylar quin

Arrrrrwoollllllll its a full night today Baby 🍼 😻😻😻😻😽😽😽💋👅💏💏💏💏💏💏💏💏💏💄💋👅👄🧑🏻🧑🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺 it’s a fullll moon 🌙 so sexy. Lick lick his abs

### 5/5 — Amazing and fun

*2025-05-28, version 2.7.5*

I like this game. Very addictive. My only issue is ‘Jay Evans.’ I was hoping when I unmatched him (he is fictionally cheating on his wife) he would beg for forgiveness or maybe learn some humility in a short exchange before I banished him. Instead he just vanished and I didn’t get to break his fictional heart 💔💔

Also, why are all the guys princes and actors and rich guys and all the girls are just…normal girls? I want a fictionally rich woman 🥀🥀

### 5/5 — My favorite dating sim

*2025-05-07, version 2.7.5*

I have played tons of dating sims and Lovelink is my absolute favorite. The characters feel so real, you can leave conversations for as long as you want and come back whenever you want without worry, you can watch ads for gems, and there are lots of fun choices. I love the art style as well.

### 5/5 — Help me

*2025-05-07, version 2.7.5*

I love the game but now I can’t log in because I can’t can’t open the app it’s giving me an error!!! Help me please!!!

### 5/5 — Network error

*2025-03-15, version 2.7.5*

I’m really far into a story with the ash Evan’s character and when I wanna go on this date everytime it say’s network error and crashes and it’s been like that for a few weeks :( and I don’t wanna delete the app or log out cause I would lose all my characters and progress since I started this game without logging into an account or linking it to my apple

### 5/5 — Fix app

*2025-01-13, version 2.7.3*

I love it but the app is not workin for me when I click on it

### 5/5 — Good, but needs MANY improvements

*2024-10-31, version 2.6.9*

At first, I thought the game was really good and honestly, I loved it. Later I realised that you absolutely NEEDED gems to play to access images and say certain things. Also gems were really expensive, so now I have a bad relationship with all of my matches and I have many images that need to be unblurred with only 54 gems! Also, some matches, when I like them, doesn’t do anything, normally when you swipe right, too match and you start chatting, but with people like Jamie grant and Zheng Zhao when I swipe right, nothing happens, so that bug defo needs to be fixed. In the end, the only issues are the gems and the match bug, but to me, the gems are what caused this really low rating, I truly wish I could rate it more. Also ash Evans has a bug, he stops working after the date where we’re supposed to meet up at the bar
