Just allow for purchasing stuff mainly and things we can use with the money except for touring etc ### 3/5 — How to close *2026-08-18* It’s getting good but don’t know how to close the label ### 2/5 — ? *2026-08-18, version 2.3.1* Game is fun but I keep getting put in debt and it’s saying it’s because of living expenses, but there’s no way to check the living expenses ### 4/5 — Buggie *2026-08-14* After the last update, It became SCARILY detailed (in a good way obv) but the money is definitely bugging wdym i'm not getting ANY money from a single debuting with 8m streams 😭😭😭😭 pls fix it i really want to play with the new update ### 4/5 — Не хватает оптимизации *2026-08-13, version 2.3.1* Игра имеет огромный потенциал но отсутствие оптимизации такое что телефон превращается в сковородку ### 2/5 — Always an Issue *2026-08-13, version 2.3.1* Played this game in and off since it's demo stage and the reason I'm constantly deleting the game is because there is always an issue/bug that makes the game unplayable. ### 3/5 — Lifestyle Expense error *2026-08-11, version 2.3.0* My whole game is thrown off, no matter how hard you work they are charging me 100k+ a week on my lifestyle that I can’t manage and don’t have, my music isn’t even generating 10k a week, game isn’t playable🤦🏾 ### 5/5 — Idea *2026-08-06* Hi you came is very good but maybe can you do that you can get not just a single feat but that you can be in a album like a feat or in ep not just a single ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-03* This is my favourite music sim of all time by far but I kinda wish hard mode was harder like maybe there could be a realistic game mode where you don’t always succeed with your music career if that’s possible? But apart from that I highly recommend ### 5/5 — Love the game *2026-08-03, version 2.2.1* I really love this game, and I do have some recommendations. I think you should add a way too see if we broke records. And see how big our biggest songs are. Other than that live the game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Expense Issues *2026-08-19, version 2.3.1* I don’t know how to make money or even control my expenses I’m not even making money from streaming Just entering debts I don’t know how to ### 1/5 — Good but in playable *2026-08-17* I have tried to keep this game on my phone but I ended up deleting it because I can’t make and artist who won’t go broke I have used so many of my ideas and worked hard to get my artist going but they all go broke before their third album developer please fix this everything cost money I can’t even make music once I’m I debt cause it cost money to record great game over all I just can’t keep wasting my ideas on artists that aren’t even going to tour ### 1/5 — The game is unbearable. *2026-08-17* You guys urgently need to fix this bug where our money disappears. The game is terrible. You're ruining the game. ### 1/5 — Update *2026-08-15, version 2.3.1* everytime the game gets updated it gets worse , i am a a+ lister but im getting no money from streams , all of a sudden the living cost is 10x more expensive , i dont even have enough to go on tour or build my skills. ### 1/5 — Ruined game *2026-08-12, version 2.3.1* StageStar 2 followers is too unrealistic and ruins it ### 1/5 — Update ruined the game *2026-08-10, version 2.3.0* Before the update it was smooth. Now since, I can get a job and and release music and still net 0$ income every week and then some weeks it’s randomly -100,000 or 4838$ or whatever it may be so for these reasons it’s a bad game yall ruined it ### 1/5 — my opinion *2026-08-02* I played this game from the beginning I was very excited for this update but the game is totally different and bad they could make the old version available as well as an option ### 1/5 — Bugs & freezing *2026-07-02, version 2.1.0* I literally can’t progress to the next week without the game freezing, i miss how the game use to be the bugs and the freezing makes this game unplayable for me. I tried giving it a chance again once i seen my saves were gone but i figured things wouldn’t be the same, It was also a lot more easier to chart before as well. Too many chances, too many bugs and i’m not wasting my time with the constant freezing. Onto the next🤷🏽‍♀️ ### 1/5 — You removed everything on this game and it’s harder to find stuff now with this update *2026-06-29, version 2.0.0* I can’t view the album, I can’t interview, I don’t know how to work this hiatus thing there’s nothing to do in this game but the old update had everything can you please take away the hiatus thing and bring back the interviews ### 1/5 — Removed my saves *2026-06-27, version 2.0.0* I really do love this game and I find it extremely entertaining but after this new update, it completely removed all my saves!? I don’t know how to get them back and I think that’s unfair. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — More updates pls *2026-09-08, version 2.4.0* More updates please I’m obsessed with StageStar!!! ### 5/5 — Good Game! Also, an idea! *2026-09-07, version 2.4.0* I know we have relationships in the game but I would love it if we could get married and eventually have kids! Just an idea!! ### 5/5 — Idea/suggestion *2026-09-01, version 2.4.0* I like the whole relationship thing, but I feel like you should add a feature where you can add your own relationships instead of them just popping up. It’s nice for the collabs but when a random relationship pops up for a significant other that doesn’t really build interest. So if you could add a feature where us players can either have a dating mechanic or where we can add our own personalized relationships. ### 5/5 — great game but theres a slight issue *2026-08-18, version 2.3.1* okay dont get me wrong, this is easily the best and one of the most realistic artist simulators on the app store. the only thing that doesn’t seem so realistic is the newest update which makes it so whenever i finally start money, i just lose it all week by week. one career i was in NEGATIVE MONEY. unbelievable. fix that one simple thing pleaseee!!!! ### 5/5 — Fix bug *2026-08-18, version 2.3.1* Is good but when try to advance to next week or month it will freeze ### 5/5 — PLS ADD GROUPS *2026-08-17, version 2.3.1* This game is so cool, and I love it! But can you add musical groups back please? I was having fun when I made a group. ### 5/5 — Best music simulator game out there! *2026-08-12, version 2.3.1* No exaggeration—this is a very well done simulation game, the best in my opinion in terms of artist/music simulation games. My only suggestions would be for the Wikipedia page to add sub-genres the artist has done, and if anything, maybe even give us the option to customize and write our own Wikipedia page. That, and also being able to make the Stageify artist bio longer and actually readable, and maybe have the ability to add images to the Stageify bio! Small tweaks that I can live without, but would very much like to see included. Aside from that, I give this game 5 stars! I love it. ### 5/5 — idea/suggestion *2026-08-11, version 2.3.0* how come the only hometowns available are us cities? I feel like it should br accessible to the world if you really want to re-create someone’s career or ur own ideas, special in the K-pop fandom and not having a kpop group instead of a band, it’s a bit hard to really imagine, but instead of kpop group being its own idea or smh, it should a like girl group or boy group like one direction etc ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-08-10, version 2.3.0* The creator continuously outdoes themselves with frequent updates. Constantly making the game more enjoyable ### 5/5 — ym *2026-08-07, version 2.2.1* do better --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
