### 5/5 — Pretty Good

*2026-07-31, version 1.6.11*

Overall its not bad. If you are expecting a direct response then you may be disappointed. However, if you are just looking at a way to “chat” with your biases then this may be good for you. I “chat” with Sohee and he always so cute and will use y/n so that it comes up as your username. Definitely feeds into the delulu. Just have fun and be respectful.

### 2/5 — 通知がこない

*2026-07-13*

アップグレードすると
通知がこなくなるときがある。
アーティストがメッセージくれても通知がないと、数日気付けなくてXで見た方が早い。

### 3/5 — Just….

*2026-06-23, version 1.6.8*

Why did I never receive a notification? I hope this update is resolved

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-05-19, version 1.6.7*

Discontinue idol's bubble ticket but still charge money. Genuinely couldn't believe the audacity

### 2/5 — 为什么最近老是闪退？

*2026-04-22, version 1.6.7*

老闪退发不出去消息何意味 赶紧修复更新！！

### 5/5 — This app is actually really good

*2026-04-07, version 1.6.7*

I get to talk to my favorite idols and connect with them but I really wish it was more private just between me and the idol to be honest but I’m really happy about it I get to talk to Ten he’s my favorite and I really love him a lot

### 4/5 — 推しと2人きりの空間とは

*2026-03-14*

返信機能がついてから推しと2人きりの空間ではなくなった。一刻も早く返信機能を廃止してほしいです。コンセプトと合わない仕様では？

### 2/5 — メッセージ表示について

*2026-02-02*

bubbleの通知はくるがメッセージがトーク画面に表示されないためいちいち履歴を読み込まないといけず不便。

### 2/5 — うーん

*2026-01-31*

推しと2人のやり取りって前提に、第三者への返信が見れるようになるのは、すみませんが気持ちのいいものではないですね…。翻訳もいちいち日本語訳押さなきゃいけないし…

### 5/5 — Aespa stan

*2026-01-09*

стеньте эспа и будете счастливы 💜💜💜
