### 2/5 — endless loading

*2025-11-12, version 3.0*

i love looking at the website even though there haven’t been any posts for a few years but their app needs an update! i tried using it and i was stuck on an endless loading screen and when i clicked on the link to meet the dolls i got an error! if you want to get this app then don’t, just go on the website.

### 3/5 — I Love It But It’s Not Enough

*2024-03-22, version 3.0*

I personally loved this but it doesn’t have like how to buy or stuff like that☹️. I want to download this again but if it isn’t that good then it’s a waste of space.

### 3/5 — Outdated, but cool

*2023-07-06*

This is a sort of app that you would get if you like American girl dolls. If that isn’t your thing, this isn’t for you.

At first, I was like “Oh, nice!” But now I’m like “they haven’t posted ANYTHING since April of 2022. That was longer than a year ago. The game is really outdated, and I mean REALLY OUTDATED.

### 3/5 — Well um

*2022-04-08, version 2.0*

I love this app I always get the new updates and cute photos but I feel it would be better if I could post photos/videos too!

### 4/5 — I want to post

*2022-01-22*

I got this app and I love it! But there are only 2 people that post. I love American Girl and I want to post too! The comments seem odd and I want to also comment. I read a lot of other peoples reviews and they seem to not mind. It’s over all a good app and I kept it, I just feel like it could be better

### 4/5 — Good but..

*2022-01-10*

I really like it but I wish you as a player can post on it to like Instagram for AG lovers but it should be WAY more safe than Instagram but other than that I love it. It’s a nice way to catch up on American girl ❤️🤘

### 4/5 — Why everyone says it’s outdated

*2021-08-19, version 2.0*

This is an online blog that they made into an app. I absolutely love it— but it’s a retired blog, meaning they stopped posting on it 2018. I’ve been having trouble accessing lately,  but I think that’s because they’re taking it down. :( However I’d recommend getting the app, the posts are fun to look at even tho they’re old, and she recommends some doll blogs and some of which are still active. So if you want to know an active doll blog, go to Delightfulworldofdolls.com

### 4/5 — Fun but…

*2021-07-17, version 2.0*

Just outdated☹️

### 3/5 — It was okay…

*2021-07-14*

I like all the posts and stories and stuff. I guess they were pretty fun for a while and it’s nice to read them. The app inspired me to take some photos, so I thank the editors for that!
But, it just seems a little bit fake. Like, all the posts are by the same person and they’re really outdated. I’m in 2021 and the latest post is 2019. Also all the comments are from the same people. Like they have the same name but a different profile. It’s really weird. You can’t even post anything yourself.

It could be a good app that the editors stopped caring about, or it could be a fake scam. I’m not sure. 
Editors, please respond

### 4/5 — Hi

*2021-06-05, version 2.0*

Great app but needs a update.At lest if it’s not much.If it was updated frequently this could possibly get bigger and better.If the maker reads this review then you could start buy letting people write their own story’s and reviews about dolls they have💕🦋🦋🌸thanks for reading.

### 4/5 — Love it needs improvement

*2021-02-01, version 2.0*

I absolutely love this except for the fact that they don t post new stuff I think we should be able to comment on the photos and post stuff only about American girl dolls and we should be able to like and dislike and have updates so that would make more people use this app

### 4/5 — A couple of complaints, and good reviews

*2021-01-25*

Hi again! I just wanted to say that I’m kinda disappointed that the creator hasn’t responded to my posts yet, and I still don’t know how to post.😕
I would really like if I got a response this year. I have really been wanting to post about my American Girl Doll Story’s I have been making up, and I had all the props ready and outfits, and then I forgot I couldn’t post. The good reviews are I really enjoy the positive feedback from all the girls around the US that are my age! And I also really adore the dolls and the stories behind them! Please respond to this post to let me know how to create my account and comment, and maybe let me know when the next update will be? Because last time I checked it was 2021, and the last post was like 2019. Anyways, thanks for your time!

### 4/5 — It’s ok 🙂

*2021-01-22, version 2.0*

I like it and all but I got this app in 2020 and I thought that people would post daily or something. I agree with the other people it’s rlly outdated. So pls add other stuff in this app. 🙂

### 4/5 — ❤️ I’m not gonna lie,

*2021-01-21*

I’m not gonna lie, but I may be a bit to little for Facebook.
I would like this app better if you could like sign in from kids messenger. Because I’m only eight and my mother won’t let me download Facebook. You’re probably saying why can’t my mom just use her phone?
she doesn’t want too. So that’s why I didn’t give it a five star review otherwise the app is perfect and I love the doll stories

### 4/5 — Love it needs work

*2021-01-13, version 2.0*

Love this game just wish that the person will post more pictures now and maybe videos so much fun

### 4/5 — A little confused 🤷🏻‍♀️ (Please Read)

*2020-12-05, version 2.0*

So I love American Girl Dolls. I have both Laney and Joss. I am just really confused. How do I make a profile and post things. Also no one has posted  sence 2017 or 2018. It is literally December 2020. So almost 2021. I wish people would post more. But please tell me how I can post. And someone if you see this and you know how to post please tell me how. Thanks

From me

P.S
Do not focus on my name. I am not 10 anymore. I am 13 🤣😂

### 2/5 — Its ok

*2020-11-15, version 2.0*

I wish they could add some posts and it would be way better with “Adding Posts” so the people could post on their account about their dolls.

### 4/5 — Um... how can you comment or become a AG artist?????

*2020-11-14, version 2.0*

I just downloaded the game and don’t know what to do. Could you please help me? How do you put on your blog? ClaireRyannCrosbyfan

### 4/5 — I love it but not my favorite 😐

*2020-10-30, version 2.0*

I love this app but definitely  not my favorite app ever had about dolls I love this app because I am a complete AG doll lover and also obsessed with American girl dolls ! But the only time people posted on here was years ago and I can’t even figure out how to post something on here but I would really like to post pictures on here . But I just really wish I could post on here and see new post it was like 2018 2016 2017 2010 and was the only time I saw a post on here and it’s 2020 why can’t they let people post in 2020 it’s really weird I mean I have a professional camera and stuff    I would love to post on here with my camera really do truly truly truly love this app but SOOOO  not  my favorite it’s not my favorite because I can’t post on here in 2020 and there’s no new post AT ALL !!!!!!!!!!!  

Dear  the designer of this app . could you please be able to make your app where you can post on here in 2020 and let people have a new post on here !?!?!?!?
