### 5/5 — How to Transfer Progress to new iPhone?

*2026-08-30, version 1.0.34*

If it were easy to transfer artist progress to other iPhone
That’d be great

I love the game, as my achievements and rating shows

But I’m really struggling to transfer my progress to my new iPhone…I don’t want to restart; as I wish to continue my artist’s story and progress

How do I do that? 
No, I didn’t use iPhone to iPhone setup
So there’s that

If there were an easy way to export and import our saves ACROSS devices
That’d be great 

Ideally
Some help today would be appreciated as I’ll trade in this old iPhone tomorrow 🤧

Keep up the marvellous work
I’ve loved the label system and barely make music in my career now lol

### 5/5 — ADDICTING

*2026-08-29, version 1.0.34*

been playing these games awhile i will never uninstall so addicting and a fun way to pass time 🔥

### 4/5 — Pretty good game

*2026-08-26, version 1.0.34*

So far it’s been pretty fun to play. But one thing i think that would be an option is to make duo’s or groups, especially since those are prevalent in the music industry. It would also be interesting if there were random events, similar to the music festival but more casual? Things like interactions with fans, stalkers, paparazzi, etc. It would also be interesting if, with the interaction/random events I mention, those would affect how the public’s perception of your character. And because of that, also cultivating a specific type of fan base.

### 4/5 — Very Good - Only A Couple Nitpicks

*2026-08-25, version 1.0.34*

This game is very very well made and obviously has a lot of effort and improvements added constantly. It the best music simulator out there. I love the idea of the wallet that goes between saves. My only issue is, after one save you can rack up $1 billion fairly quickly which sets up every single save after extremely easy. One other thing is how easy it is to get streams compared to monthly listeners. I’d love to see the streams be more grounded to real life numbers and monthly listeners to fluctuate in millions and by hundreds of thousands more if you drop a huge album. It seems to be very random at the moment. Same goes with billboard placements. You can get songs from years ago go No. 1 for an absurd amount of weeks which is very unrealistic. One final thing is that instead of the most popular songs being at the top of Spotify, it shows the total streams of the songs getting the most per week in order. To make it feel more in line with current day Spotify. If these things would be tweaked or implemented I think the game would be perfect.

### 5/5 — Add This Please….

*2026-08-24, version 1.0.34*

Can you guys add illegal jobs aswell like dealing narcotics and can you add prison time to make the game have a realistic feeling, cause the original rapstar game had them features.

### 5/5 — SOCIALS & TOURING

*2026-08-24, version 1.0.34*

I absolutely LOVE this game however, can the socials be more interactive ? Like with comments, emojis, things of that sort ? 
And Can the Touring be more Interactive aswell ?

### 5/5 — How I feel about this game

*2026-08-21, version 1.0.34*

I love dis game

### 5/5 — Adding new things

*2026-08-19, version 1.0.34*

Can u allow my character to travel to new city or relocate to a new country or state and can you add more country to tour in. Love the game

### 5/5 — Detailed

*2026-08-19, version 1.0.34*

Surprisingly detailed and in depth interaction with everything. Awesome app/game

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-16, version 1.0.33*

It’s good

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.34 — 2026-08-18

Some more bug fixes:
- Fixed several crashes, including one that could stop you from ending the week.
- Every award you win now counts. No more winning one and not getting credit.
- Signed artists' contracts now run their term and come up for renewal. Re-sign them or let them walk.
- Rival labels' market share now shifts as your label grows, so the standings bars actually move.
- Deleting an album now frees its songs so you can add them to another one.
- Fixed dead artists staying frozen at #1 after a dynasty takeover, which was blocking your new artist from charting.
- Far more unique names for signed and rival artists, with no duplicates on your roster.
- Your children stay fully accessible after a breakup or divorce, and you can start dating again.
- Your heir now starts fresh, without inheriting the previous artist's photos and clips.
- One consistent currency symbol everywhere outside the US.
- Cleaned up the Settings screen.

### 1.0.33 — 2026-08-06

FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS
- Your saves are now much better protected. Slot switching, deleting and restarting all keep an automatic backup first, and the game warns you before anything can overwrite a different character's save.
- Backups now show what's inside them (artist name and cash) so you never restore an empty save by mistake.
- Signed and rival artists now have far more unique names. New styles, bigger name pools, and no more duplicates on your roster or in auditions.
- Fixed deleted albums leaving their songs stuck. Those tracks can now be added to another album, and already stranded songs are repaired automatically.
- Fixed dead artists' albums staying frozen at #1 after a dynasty takeover, blocking your new artist from charting.
- Your heir now starts fresh. The previous artist's photos, clips and studio takes no longer carry over.
