I also had the option to use star power for resources. I need more lyrastones to upgrade my classes but I have no way of getting them. Please fix! I need the ### 5/5 — Suggestion to revert saves *2024-06-14* I would like to save back both Google and Facebook button please. **Developer response:** please use iCloud to backup your save file. its easier than using the old server method. go to game settings, scroll down, press iCloud back/save ### 4/5 — Cancel bug *2024-06-12* Whenever I press cancel while building or designing, my inventory glitches and so does my game. ### 5/5 — i love this game! *2024-04-21, version 9.0.0* to start my review i absolutely love this game and everything to do with it! i think its so cute and great and genuinely has so much potential! its upsetting too see 4 years later and there are no longer updates for the game anymore. nor do i see any announcements of any kind from Happy Labs themselves. ### 2/5 — Is there an ad free version *2024-01-18, version 9.0.0* I love this game and its goals i think its amazing but what i hate is that there is an ad immediately after everything i do and i dont mind paying for an ad free version but this game would be perfect if it wasn't for those annoying pop up ads. ### 3/5 — Account Vanished *2024-01-09, version 9.0.0* I have been playing this game for a while now and have spent money on it. I transferred to a new phone and my game history has completely vanished and I have to start from the start. Is there anything I can do? Thank you ### 3/5 — Love it but.. *2024-01-04* It's a shame that the game can only be found on the Apple Store since the Play Store no longer has it. Also, it takes a lot of time to earn money, especially for students! The 5th student group has 210k students, while the 4th group only cost 80k, which is surprising because the gap between unlocking them isn't huge, but the cost is! Unless you grind, there aren't many ways to make a lot of money. There are no events, a large player base, and very little awareness of the game, indicating that the producers must have given up. ### 5/5 — Has some bugs but good *2023-12-17, version 9.0.0* First the spin wheel. It keeps saying there are no ads right now, so i can’t get any of the special prizes! Second, the students are a little buggy. THEY TAKE FOREVER TO GET TO SLEEP! Somtimes they don’t relise it is bedtime. If you are reading this, this game is awesome. I am just telling about the bugs. ### 3/5 — I need to get back in my account *2023-07-25, version 9.0.0* I have spent a lot of money on this games I have been trying to get my account back for years I have contacted via every support email possible, and they never respond I just want my account back ### 4/5 — It’s good *2023-07-04, version 9.0.0* It’s good nothing else (maybe to many tutorials) anyway like I said it’s good Something to keep running in the background and check up on it sometimes so 4 stars not amazing just good and maybe there’s to many in-game purchases- but oh well that’s the end of this review! ### 5/5 — Great Game, Lack of Updates, Ads *2023-05-23* It’s a great game, but there haven’t been any updates for a long time. I dont know if they stopped working on their games or anything, but there isn’t any new content now. A thing about the ads in this game is that there’s lots of them. I usually just turn off my wifi and data while playing, and when I’m about to log off, i turn my data and wifi back on, go to the settings, and then press “save to server.” ### 3/5 — Please tell me if this is a glitch or I did something wrong *2023-05-06, version 9.0.0* I really like this game but when I joined one day all my progress restarted.I’m not sure if I was supposed the save it or something but I do know my progress was deleted.Please tell me: bug or I did something wrong. Thanks for reading. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of money scam game😡😡 *2025-07-23, version 10.0.8* Wish I could rate zero ,what happens was I was buying a gem pack for a 100 gems,it didn’t come ,I waited ,still didn’t come,waited,did it come??NO!!🤬And when I was looking at the reviews it has happened to many people over the years!Don't get this app,it’s a scam trap!And that’s why gems are hard to get too! 😡😡😡What a waste of my 5 dollars ugh I’m never using this scummy app. ### 1/5 — Make magic hour to 30 seconds as it is instead of 15 seconds *2025-05-09* I really really beg plz make it 30 seconds back again 😭😭😭I really love this game that magic hour of 30 seconds is my biggest hope plz change it to 30 instead of 15 seconds im a big fan of this game have been playing since 7th std everytime I loose back up while changing phones of my mom it was heartbreaking 💔 now I have my own phone I back up always but plz get back that 30 seconds magic hour ### 1/5 — 광고가ㅠㅠ *2024-02-18* 광고 너무 많이 떠요 무슨 터치하ㅏㄹ때마다 광고가 나와서 게임 진행이 안돼요 광고가 게임 하나 망쳤네요 광고 좀 줄여주세요 ### 1/5 — Continual restarts *2024-01-15, version 9.0.0* Have had to restart the game 5 times so far because it randomly logs out and starts over. Using the restore link that gets emailed does nothing. Has potential to be a really fun game, but the restarts make the time investment untenable to sustain and losing progress every couple of days is frustrating and makes it unenjoyable. ### 1/5 — 걍…정떨어짐 *2023-07-12* 게임 되게 재밌는데 광고가 무슨 5초에 한 번씩 나옴….게임 진행도 안되고 짜증남 데이터 3번 리셋됐는데도 계속 할만큼 좋아했던 게임인데 광고땜에 망겜됨 ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2023-05-28, version 9.0.0* Constant pop up ads make the game unplayable. ### 1/5 — Too many ad pop up’s *2022-09-17, version 9.0.0* I used to love this game. But I’m not exaggerating when I say an ad pops up every time you click on a menu or even just to acknowledge a notification. Honestly I’d rather have the option to pay for the ads to go away. But the ads make optimising your school almost impossible - I spend more time closing ads and waiting for them to load than actually doing anything productive. Can’t stand playing anymore… ### 1/5 — Can’t play because of ads *2022-05-02, version 9.0.0* I have an ad pop up every 5 seconds. I leave one window, ad. I click on something, ad. I exit out of thing I clicked on, ad. I literally can’t play this game, way too many ads. ### 1/5 — Capture Photo & share to get golds *2022-04-04, version 9.0.0* I capture the photo to share it and get more golds, but I don’t get the golds even I try to share it many times ### 1/5 — ⚠️WARNING⚠️ Do not download!! 🚫 *2022-03-15, version 9.0.0* This game resetted my progress when k restarted it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GET THIS GAME IT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT *2025-02-09* So I've had this game since I was a literal toddler/child and it is AMAZING. No ads, cute characters, entertaining, and just GREAT. I loved this game since I was little and still do <3 ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-01-28* Relaxing game, sometimes stressful but fun lol ### 5/5 — Cutest Game *2024-12-15* This game has such cute animation & very relaxing to play. I love it so much & the updates are gorgeous. Please never give up on this game. ### 5/5 — Better than ever *2024-09-19* I had uninstalled it several years ago because of how broken the ads were (forced ad would pop up every click, literally unplayable), but miraculously it underwent an update a few months back and now there are no ads at all! It’s a very relaxing game, and I love the events that happen every other week or so. It’s an adorable game, and I really enjoyed it back then and I’d always been thinking about how cute the gameplay was so I’m glad to see the developers made it a proper game. ### 5/5 — 재밌어요!! *2024-07-28* 아기자기하고 재밌어요! 업데이트 해주시면 더 좋을거 같아요:)))) ### 5/5 — Great Update *2024-07-23* Very nice, but I miss online play ### 5/5 — LUVSIT *2024-07-15* i have downloaded this game a million times n every time i get rid of it then get it again i fall back in love with it. It’s everything i could ever want in a game and the fan made new buildings and classrooms were such a fun way to add something new to it and not just all the same stuff‼️‼️🍬🍬 ### 5/5 — 업그레이드 부탁합니다 *2024-07-01* 너무 잘 하고있는데 이벤트도 안하고 수업도 작고 업데이트 부탁합니다 good good update please!!! New class please!!! ### 5/5 — NEW UPDATE *2024-06-19* I love playing this game but I usually take breaks from it, imagine my surprise when I come back to a cute little update!! This is great news :0 ### 5/5 — An Update??? *2024-06-16* I can’t believe this game actually updated for the first time in 3 years and already the changes seem positive! No currency for real money and the special resources also becoming floating bonuses?? Fantastic!
