But I remember having a lot of fun while playing it, the story line was unique to me. and talking to the characters in it made it feel real. I feel like this app should get more recognition, I’m not sure if it’s changed since but I hope if I download it again I’ll have the same fun and nostalgia. ### 3/5 — The games *2026-05-06, version 1.14.11* While I like all Picka EN has to offer I do wish it had more stories translated over from the Korean/original version as they have sooo many stories, I find it a bit unfair because I’m sure I would enjoy all of those too but it’s not available. I’m a bit sad because I was here since the first 30 days to love came out and absolutely loved it and played the rest as they came to, it’s honestly way to slow and I delete the app after I play as there’s nothing else to do… I’d rather just watch someone else play it for me atp. ### 4/5 — Système Batteries *2026-04-08, version 1.14.11* J’aurais aimé que la batterie se recharge toute seule au bout d’un certain temps car c’est dommage de devoir regarder des pubs super longue pour ne même avoir la moitié de la batterie recharger. Ou alors mettre un système de pubs à la fin de chaque jours à la place. Sinon l’application est super cool j’adore juste ceci qui est dommage 😢 ### 5/5 — Had fun *2026-03-17, version 1.14.11* Enjoy the story but need more guides on how to get the best endings lol. Also adversify the way to get battery and coins would be much better since the current way has many threats and risks via a third party. ### 5/5 — Why you have to delete the process when the app is deleted? ;-; *2026-03-05, version 1.14.11* I love this game so much and spent quite some money here but after I changed my phone (cuz my old phone broke) all the process are gone ;-; Please don’t do that anymore. I’m so sad ;-; ### 4/5 — Dear developer *2026-03-03, version 1.14.11* Dear developer. Please buat versi bahasa Indonesia. Aku suka banget tapi lebih enjoy kalau pakai bahasa Indonesia. Semoga reviewku dibaca dan dikaulkan. Thank you ❤️ ### 5/5 — love the game but *2026-02-15, version 1.14.11* the ads don’t work so i can’t watch any ads for more battery. the battery consumption is too much ### 5/5 — M4F46NFEPE *2026-02-10, version 1.14.11* I really love this game. I’ve been playing it since it first launched, back when there was only Season One on my old phone. Now I’ve switched to a new phone and stopped playing for a while, but when I downloaded it again, I still felt the same excitement. There are so many new changes, and I love them. ### 5/5 — GOOD, but…. *2026-01-28, version 1.14.11* Hello, I just want to say this game is sooo fun and intriguing 💕 my only one complaint is that the battery life time goes by wayyyy too fast. I understand there’s ways to gain free battery your daily one finishes, however, the battery still finishes within seconds. It feels like you were just getting to a good part and get interrupted. It just kinda ruins the whole vibe :/ It would mean a lot, like a lot, if you ca increase battery time, at least make a 100% last for 1-2 hours. Please, and thank you. ### 4/5 — Fun but can be better *2026-01-10, version 1.14.9* Love this game very fun & realistic. One thing is hope there’s more variations for the 22 days to love in terms of characters and perhaps make the mc not the main character? coz the recent ones can be a little boring ㅠㅠ Would love to see more diverse characters & perhaps more options to choose from? I think that would make the gameplay more enjoyable! ### 5/5 — Love *2025-12-26, version 1.14.9* The people are so nice and they are cute. ### 4/5 — About this *2025-12-24, version 1.14.9* I’m enjoy playing this game. I’m excited to see the new titles be added from the Korean app once it’s translated. I just wish that the visual parts could be drawn or from actual photographs. The AI art is sad to see. I’d rather see the cute art instead. ^^ ### 5/5 — Peak *2025-12-22, version 1.14.9* Love all the stories sm ugh ### 3/5 — I like this game but *2025-12-04, version 1.14.9* 1. It’s so hard to collect gold. So many times I complete surveys and play games but don’t get gold. Charging your battery is easier but it dies so quick. 2. Why isn’t there GL? I hate when games call themselves inclusive but only include BL. ### 5/5 — My comfort game *2025-11-11, version 1.14.9* I love picka so much, it was my comfort game around 2023 and I was so excited to try it out for the first time when I downloaded it, your game really cheered me up every time I felt gloomy and it was so nice. Please keep up the amazing work and add more content and free stuff in the game 🤍 ### 5/5 — my fav game ever *2025-11-07, version 1.14.9* i love this game, im french so i can’t wait for a french traduction but i did so much endings. i love it ! ### 4/5 — Battery *2025-11-07, version 1.14.9* Please make it easier to earn more battery per day, or extend the limit on the earning through ad. Ugh, i want to keep playing but the battery drain so fast😭 so annoying. Will never buy the battery because 2.99 dollar exchange to my currency is 14bucks, wth😭. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — When’s the next update?? *2026-06-09, version 1.14.11* I have been playing the game since TDL1 and following the official accounts for announcements on new content and it’s been a month of waiting for the S5 release that was said to be coming out on April to late May and it’s already June with no updates. I just want a new notice on this matter seeing that everyone who plays the game is questioning it on twitter. Hope this gets sorted out soon! Thanks. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2026-06-03, version 1.14.11* Very disappointed with the lack of False Hope especially when you guys announced that season 5 would be released late May and it’s June 3th and while we wait you guys are active in the Korean insta and twitter Social medias while leaving us with no information :( English isn’t my first language so it’s first that counts also it’s been 1.5 months now ### 1/5 — GOOD, but…. *2026-03-02, version 1.14.11* I really do appreciate this game, but every time I’m playing ads to get gold it doesn’t give me my gold. It did in the beginning but now it isn’t and it’s really really irritating. It’s causing me to not even want to play. ### 1/5 — Fix this bug please *2025-08-07, version 1.14.3* I love Picka but there’s this new bug (I’ve seen ppl ranting abt not seeing the support team replying to them so I’m bringing it here) When watching ads for the free batteries everyday after I finish watching the ad, the battery bar is STILL empty no matter how much times I watch the ads. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-08-03, version 1.14.3* Waste of time ### 1/5 — Played so many ads but no battery given *2025-08-03, version 1.14.3* Played so many ads but no battery given ### 1/5 — issues *2025-06-02, version 1.14.2* it’s always have network issues when I login with facebook. I always have to re-login when I’m close and re-open the app. Please fix it, it’s annoying. ### 1/5 — Im so disappointed *2025-03-29, version 1.13.14* U guys Destroyed it when u added things like BL and stuff, thats not the app that i knew anymore :( ### 1/5 — PERFECT *2024-12-11, version 1.12.6* YOU GIVE MY MONEY BACK!!!!! THEY SHOW LESS PRICE ON THE APP BUT WHEN YOU BUY; THEY TOOK 50 TIMES MORE THAN THE APP!!!!!!! GIVE MY MONEY ### 1/5 — Money hungry *2024-07-07, version 1.9.2* This game is so enjoyable! I love how interactive it is and how you get to make your own decisions throughout the game. I would have nothing negative to say if you didn’t have to pay for so many things. For example The battery doesn’t last long so you have to constantly recharge it and for 50% battery alone it is around 6.99. I recharged to 100% for 9.99 multiple times and it just keeps running out super fast. One time I was on the game for less than 15 minutes and the battery ran out. Even if you do get the free battery things you have to watch many adds and it also runs out just as fast. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Underrated *2026-06-29* Really fun game XD I’ve played 30 days to love more than 3 times ### 5/5 — Best game *2026-06-23, version 1.14.15* I’ve been playing this game since 2022 and I absolutely love it! I’m always waiting for new seasons to drop so I can play because it’s just so fun. Already finished season 5 and can’t wait to see what’s next!!💗 ### 5/5 — Cannot access to the game *2026-06-07, version 1.14.11* It keeps saying temporary disconnect even though I tried to uninstall and reinstall and disconnect my wifi. ### 5/5 — Season 3 fan *2026-05-31, version 1.14.11* Chayun Do is season 3 is why I am in love with this app! No other character has come close to him. Thanks to the team! ### 5/5 — Angel *2026-05-19, version 1.14.11* this is so fun to play really! Will you have a new story update? ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-05-11, version 1.14.11* I used to play this back when i was so lonely and had nobody to talk to, its been years since I last played it, but my god is it good. The game is so well made and you know the writers have passion, texting the characters and all the plots and stories are so well made i felt loved and cared for. I was a lonely teenager just looking for random games and found this absolute treasure, one day i might play again but i now have someone who makes me feel the same way characters did in the game three years ago. To the devs and everyone involved in the game, you guys did amazing. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-04-18, version 1.14.11* Ever since I saw that TikTok slide show about this app talking about it and everything I Have been obsessed With it Keep up the amazing work :) The story as always are chef kiss ❤️ ### 5/5 — I’m in love all over again *2026-04-12, version 1.14.11* few years passed already since my sister recommended me this, I played TDL 1 and it was so funn now today I played 22 days pair and that also made my heart flutter I absolutely love this I’m probably never gonna get over it I’m hoping for more stories to come! ### 5/5 — Good *2026-03-28, version 1.14.11* I love this game I been looking all over for it, but I think you guys should add if they main character (us) want to be male or female instead of just being female but overall this game if great and keep up the great work. ### 5/5 — 좋아해 *2026-03-22, version 1.14.11* 이 게임을 정말 좋아해요. 캐릭터들이 진짜 친구와 메시지를 주고받는 느낌을 줘서 스토리를 쓰신 분께 정말 감사드려요. 다만, 에너지가 너무 적게 쌓이고 시간이 오래 걸려서 5분 정도밖에 못 하는 게 아쉬워요. 더 편리한 방법이 생겼으면 좋겠고, 새로운 콘텐츠도 많이 만들어 주세요! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
