### 4/5 — 서버상태나 튕김이 좀 문제있네요

*2026-07-27*

서버문제나 튕기는건 그렇다쳐도 이렇게 서버가 감자서버인데 튕겼을때 퀵세이브 장치도 없어서
이어하기 안되고 3연승 레인보우10스택 다날아가네요;

게임자체는 난이도 배치가 좀 엉망이지만 준수하고 평범한 3매치 게임인데 
이왕 다 똑같은 이 장르게임할거 아이돌 얼굴 박혀있으니 메리트 있네요

### 3/5 — Add more groups

*2026-06-17*

Please add other SM groups like Shinee and RV😭 it kinda gets boring having these 4 groups.

### 5/5 — Add more girl group please

*2026-06-17*

Thank you

### 3/5 — ADD RED VELVET

*2026-05-23*

Excited to play only to realize that red velvet wasn’t included in the groups you can select!! As they are in the same time generation as NCT 127 and the only girl group added is Aespa it would be awesome to have added red velvet. SM why would you do this to me red velvet has so many fans not just myself so please don’t put them in the basement yet🫩🥹!!!

### 2/5 — すぐ落ちる

*2026-05-22*

ゲーム内容的には楽しいのですが容量がいっぱいでもスマホ的に問題があるわけでもなく何故か突然落ちてしまいます。そのため連続記録が全然続かなかったりせっかく連続させてもうちょっとでゴールというところでも急に落ちてしまったりと非常に残念で仕方がないです。これだと本当に続けてる意味がなくなってしまうので早急に直して頂きたいですね😡
虹色のドロップの連続のやつも使えずに終わってしまったのですごく腹立たしいです。

### 5/5 — 뭔 게임에 렉이…

*2026-05-07*

연속클리어중에 렉걸려서…
나갔다가 다시접속하니 클리어안되어있고~ 짜증나네!
저번에는 다시접속해도 클리어되어서 잘넘어갔었는데
갑자기왜이럼?? 주최측농간인가??😡 인터넷접속문제면 나갔다가 다시 접속해도 연결이 안되어야 정상인데 잘만접속되던데… 아침부터 열받게하네! 
뭐 징징댄다고할수있겠지만 난이도도 난이도지만 연속아이템을 못써서 깨지도못하고…코인도부족하고… 코인받을기회(7계단중5번째 클리어중이었음)도 날라가고… 안당해보면 이해못할듯!!

### 1/5 — 不満😑

*2026-05-06*

フォトコンテスト頑張ってたけど、そもそも審査されてないことに不満。コピー毎回20件越えてもランキング上位にならないっておかしいよ。謎の順位で、上位の方のやつがダサくても票が入る仕組み？週末に投稿したら10位にも入らないようになってるのもおかしい。本当にいいと思った人たちのいいねやコピーした人達の分が投票に入ったら本当に良い人がコンテスト上位になれると思う。ランダムのVS形式じゃダメだよ。

### 4/5 — 왜 아이돌이…….

*2026-05-06*

솔직히 포토카드 모으는것도 재밌고 퍼즐 깨는것도 난이도가 적당해서 너무좋아요 하지만 좀 아쉬운건 아이돌이 라이즈, 엔시티3개,에스파,웨이브(?)가 있는데 레드벨벳,하츠투하츠도 추가해줬으면 좋겠어요

레드벨벳이 신곡이 안나오고 있고 유닛으로 활동하다보니까 안 넣어주시는건 이해하지만,하츠투하츠는 신곡도 있고,포카도 있는데 왜 안넣어주시는지…. 이것만 개선해주시면 별 5점드리겠습니다 감사합니다

### 2/5 — レベル700中盤から課金ゲーム

*2026-05-05*

好きなアイドルのアバターで音楽も選べたりして良いのですがレベル700中盤になると課金しないことには進まないゲームだなと。
あとボタン押してからの反応が少し遅い印象。
【追記】レベル上げてちょっとずつ楽しんでいましたがフリーズすることが多いです。動かせない、再配置もしてもらえない、アイテムも使えない、ホーム画面に戻るも出来ない状態があって何だか微妙だなと思っちゃいます。
キャラクターも誰だか不明なこともありますし、投票のアルゴリズム？もよくわからず楽しいか…？となってしまう。もちろん課金したら反応違うと思いますが

### 3/5 — 렉걸림

*2026-04-20*

초반엔 안 그랬는데 요즘 자꾸 겜하다가 멈춰서 나갔다 들어와야 되는 경우가 너무 많이 생겨요 ㅜㅜㅜ 현질해서 아이템 썼는데 갑자기 렉걸려서 아무것도 안 눌리고 나갔다 들어오면 아이템은 다 날라가고 ㅜㅜ 한두번도 아니고 어플 개선 좀 해주세요 ... 재밌게 하고 있는데 이런 거 때문에 너므 열받아요
