I really like the vibes though. Qualities are fine it’s just fun, especially when you have an addiction to Kuromi. I like the way you can choose loads of anime characters. EXAMPLE: Kuromi, My Melody, Cinamoroll. This is my new favourite game. But now for free today!! 🎮🤩❤️👌🛍️ ### 4/5 — Game problems *2025-01-11* Ok your game is totally awesome but sometime I want to kill my phone because of your game, whenever I start playing and I don’t have enough money for PK rounds I press the ad button but it always says internet not working ad not available I’ll reset my phone two or three times then I’ll disconnect from the WiFi and then reconnect or play on my hotspot but no matter how many times I do this the game says the same thing. Hope you can fix this but other than i love your game! Sincerely, Erm_dasigmA **Developer response:** Dear Erm_dasigmA, Greetings! Thank you for liking our Shining Anime Star! We will immediately check this issue. Can you tell us your phone model and system version? In addition, if you have any favorite costumes, please tell us and we will consider adding them to the game~ Have a nice day! HappyTapLand ### 2/5 — Hate one ad *2025-01-11* It’s a very cute game but I keep getting this one ad where it takes me to the App Store to download it and I go back, then there’s another ad in my way of closing the original ad that I have to wait for but it just takes me back to the App Store before I can leave the page?! This just keeps repeating until I close the app which is very annoying because it doesn’t save! ### 4/5 — WOW! *2024-12-30* I love it soooooo much! But there are a lot of ads…. But it’s ok! When u go against someone it gives u hints on what is good to use! And u may think “ oh I’m going against a bot!” Because it’s actually hard to lose well actually I think it could be a bot but it’s ok I lost a lot of times so ya! And idk if u can say stuff because when u go against someone they say mean or nice things to u and idk how to? But u 10/10 recommend getting this game! I think there is at lest one bug on this cosplay one where it’s like a queen it dose not give me a thumbs up on what is good to use! But it’s ok I don’t mind at all! Sorry for the long writing… If u read it all! Th Al u for reading then!!!❤️ ### 3/5 — So many adds *2024-12-28* There are so many adds and for most cloths you need to watch an add and sometimes they just randomly play ### 3/5 — Please read *2024-12-23* Really fun game but… There is no boys so you can only dress girls and… There is no brown in hair colours so you have to have a gross green as a brown or a orange color as brown. But I still love the game you can be really creative plus there are some characters on the game e.g. Wednesday, Harley Quinn, pomni, jax and many more. ### 4/5 — Great game *2024-12-23* This is a great game for young girls, it helps them express themselves in fashion. You can verse other players and try to do the best outfit for a particular Theme. ### 4/5 — I like it but it doesn’t have *2024-12-06* To many ads and not enough things to get in the game ### 3/5 — Why restart? *2024-11-29* I played the game and I left but it RESTARTED. I dunno why it did that but it never did that again. Other than that pretty good(so cute.) ### 5/5 — Love itt but *2024-11-24* I LOVE this game it is so much fun but there are a lot of ads but idc it has so much stuff you can dress up your person with so buy itt plz this is my number one game I play it a lot it even lets you. Go a genst people so it is a good game for kids even my sis likes it but my brother eh he is a boy so I am fine but my mom lets me play it so it is safe for kids and the end I hope you liked it tyyy love y'all😘🤩 ### 5/5 — My review *2024-11-23* It’s really fun and awesome I enjoy it because one of my favorite anime characters are on there❤️ and it’s fun when ur bored but could I suggest one thing maybe ( u don’t have to add this btw) could you maybe add some male anime characters as well? I think personally it could be cool with Giyu and shinobu together with Mitsuri and Obani together. Thanks to release me from my boredom of life. 😊 ### 5/5 — Please read developers *2024-11-21* I love this game, it’s really fun. Good graphics and cute outfits. I have a few requests though, one please add brown hair options. 🙏 I would love to make some people with brown hair! Second the PK, please add more themes to the list. I find myself playing the same ones over and over again. Another thing about the PK, I would love a actual challenge with the CPU’s or maybe we could go against other REAL people. My last thing is the ADS, they aren’t as bad as some other games I’ve played but maybe just a tad little less ADS. Other then that I recommend this game 100%! Please read! ### 3/5 — Good but… *2024-11-16* Ok I do like this game but HAS WAY TO MANY ADDS! I really get annoyed when I’m wasting my app space on just some game that just shoots adds at me also when I was playing earlier I won one of those prize things and it was in Japanese or something and my setting were on English anyways thanks for reading my honest review bye 👋🏻! ### 4/5 — TOO MANY ADS !!!! *2024-11-09* I love this game and all but it has too many ads and if you want a like item or clothing piece you have to watch an ad. I also think they should make it online like playing with real people and like that stuff and to add more like themes and stuff like WAY Amore themes and they should add like you can customise a room or like a map or something but other ways I LOVE this game ### 5/5 — Pretty good game *2024-10-26* This game is pretty good. Although, I feel like it would be better if it had less ads. ### 3/5 — Ads *2024-10-23* The game itself is good, you dress up and then battle but there’s just way too many adverts. You can watch ads to unlock outfits which is fine, I don’t mind this but then you get ads even when you’re just switching between options, like when going from eyes to eyebrows. Within the 5 minutes I played this game, I had at least 10 adverts which is a crazy amount and I had to delete the game because of how annoying it was. :( ### 3/5 — Maybe a little less and more stuff *2024-10-21* So it’s a really fun game, but there should be a lot more more stuff to choose from and maybe not so much for one as soon as you click on category like you did it for like it just barely gives you another ad and you’re so annoying so many ads. A lot take down a lot of the ads because there’s a lot of things and maybe get some more stuff to do and maybe find a couple of games stuff to do except the characters you bring out more than one character at a time that happened and maybe added these little gifts so like I’d each day and pray like you get open gift and you have this day streak to make people wanna start playing so they get the free guest and get a customize their people more fancier stuff and maybe instead of VIP that everyone use it that are just really annoying because they happen way too much. There’s too many of so that’s why I gave it a three out of five game hope you do my request so the game will be bette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn't work😡😡 *2024-11-17* I just downloaded this game and it crashes ### 1/5 — No just no *2024-05-14* Ok so I downloaded this app today and already deleted it the pk was fun but every thing else u had to watch an add for I exited the app and had to watch an add to get back in most items u have to watch an add for and I turned WiFi of AND STILL HAD TO WATCH AN ADD like I mean u want ppl to like ur game maybe don’t have many adds so I would not recommend still mad 😡 ### 1/5 — Anime journal dress up avatar *2024-04-13* You have to watch like 20 ads to get only like a couple things and it is so annoying because you have a really small option of stuff. I don’t get why everybody likes it.😡🤬😡😤😤 ### 1/5 — Payed for subscription but doesn’t stay subscribed for period bought *2024-04-13* Bought my daughter a weekly subscription which should end on 19th April. She is trying to play it and use items that should be included in the subscription but they are saying they are locked and that you need to subscribe to use even though we have. Feel scammed out of the money I payed for the subscription as it is useless and have a very disappointed 7 year old. Don’t bother with it 😡 ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-04-01* This game doesnt even let you use majority of its dress up options without watching hundreds of ads to unlock them and you cannot go 5 minutes without having an add interrupt you. ### 1/5 — Revised review 2 *2023-12-25* I saw and tried your latest update and still doesn’t work! The same problem described below still persists. I even sent an email to you, but got NO response. Fix your game or my money back!!! It is a cute game with good graphics, when it works. However, the ads when starting the game (I already paid, but the ads are still there!) crash the game very often. Once it crashes, there’s no other way but to uninstall and reinstall, which makes me going back to level 0. Please fix it!!! ### 1/5 — Revised review 2 *2023-12-16* It is a cute game with good graphics, when it works. However, the ads when starting the game (I already paid, but the ads are still there!) crash the game very often. Once it crashes, there’s no other way but to uninstall An’s reinstall, which makes me going back to level 0. Please fix it!!! Or my money back!!! ### 1/5 — Not good *2023-08-09* I got the app and started playing when I saw it was just like the others sooo many ads and when I tapped on the ad so I could get the hair, when I did I watched the video and it wouldn’t let me leave the ad and it’s a rlly annoying game with so many ads plz get rid of the ads it ridiculous, so stop!!!! ### 1/5 — Horrible!! *2023-06-23* Most of the items costed ads. I would leave a 0 star review if i could. 🫤 ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-06-21* Seems like it could be fun but everytime i click on something i get an ad ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-01-18* This app lets you Express your feeling like your a millionaire donlod it now or else you are gillty not do loading it ### 5/5 — Great game! *2025-01-11* Ok I gave it five stars because I want you to see this but I think it should really be 2 or 3. It is fun at first but then there’s nothing to do and the competition are way to easy to win. Also the thing I hate the most is. THERE IS NO BROWN HAIR!!!!! I mean I have brown hair. Lots of people in the world have brown hair you have almost every other colour of hair what on earth were you thinking? I mean now I can’t make one that looks like myself or someone that looks like my friends who have brown hair so this really made me mad i’ve got an idea to make it a little bit more exciting along with making the dolls. You can also like make them house and I know this would like totally change the game but they could go shopping and stuff. I mean it’s just a little plain don’t you think, brown hair please please brown hair and make the competitions a little harder. Dont tell me what will help me win and also maybe you can have an option where you can go get real people please brown hair brown hair!🟤🟫🤎👧🏽 thank you so much! - anonymous ### 5/5 — So cute and have ideas.. *2025-01-07* So I had this for 2 weeks I am going to guess and this game is so cute. It can probably help people with a taste of fashion maybe. Also I love Pokémon and Sanrio the same and what I was going to say is that can you maybe create outfits of some of the characters from pokemon and the Pokémon but this character I want you to make is Serena from Pokémon xyz and she is a character and also can you maybe make more Sanrio outfits please 🤩🙏🤩🙏🤩🙏🤩🙏🤩🙏🤩🙏🤩🙏🤩🙏 ### 5/5 — Love *2025-01-02* I love this game Evan though there is lots of ads but it makes me feel happy and creative i love the pjs the most I love dressing up and this game is perfect for that. If you like dress up maybe this is the game for you.❤️ ### 5/5 — Good but a little bit bad *2024-12-31* So when I saw this game, it was a commercial and it was really good. I really liked it and then there was all these ads to get stuff and I was like oh these might be good because I don’t really wanna waste all my money on the game because you can get money on here, and sometimes there’s bad commercials that aren’t good. I don’t really like how many there are because there’s some of them can be really really bad. Not good for other kids to see. I don’t really like it. There’s bad commercials on there so please get rid of all those bad ones like the love ones and just gross, so please change that but so far it’s been really good. I like having to make my own style doll. Be honest I don’t really like anime but it’s fun. I don’t really care. It’s me anime. I’ve never really watched anime. I’m just saying I’ve just never been a big fan, but yeah, just please get rid of the ones I don’t like it but so far this game has been the best game ever my second favorite game ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2024-12-31* I love this app Yesterday I played it I did not need wifi So many different anime carecters I got like 4 ads in 12 hours ### 5/5 — Miku *2024-12-25* Hi can you please add ayano and osana also Miku and Sakura Miku please I would really appreciate that thank you ### 5/5 — Game star rating *2024-12-18* I really like this game but in the adds it showed that you make someone and then you get to make them a room ### 5/5 — Not good But not bad *2024-12-16* So much add’s and hard to play ### 5/5 — OMG..
