### 4/5 — It needs more

*2026-06-24*

It’s good. I had so much fun with it, but until the band broke up. this is probably a bad game. I’m literally crying as I’m writing this but had so much fun with it and I can’t of want to be able to import songs from your camera roll to be the songs now I know you won’t respond to me but this game is okay

### 4/5 — Good but it stops working after realising the first single

*2026-06-13*

Yeah very fun but it seems to be buggy unfortunately

### 3/5 — pls fix

*2026-05-04, version 1.9.4*

i used to play this all the time before, but now i can’t even release a single

### 4/5 — A bug

*2025-12-27*

I’m loving the game but I can’t progress past releasing the first single on level 7

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2025-12-26*

Initially, this looked great - the customisation is really nice. The tension of trying to get signed before going broke is real.

However, the simulation and any sense of player agency implode once you record your first album. You're then locked into a cycle of only being allowed to tour alternating with only writing and recording. Improvements to the band and investment in promoting albums and singles does not result in major growth in sales between albums 1 and 2, yet band members increase "salary" demands agnostic of revenue (why is the manager paying the band instead of vice versa, anyway?). You can also double sales week to week while moving down the charts - hinting that the simulation has no respect for causality. The label never provides marketing or production support beyond the money to cover the first album, which is both unrealistic and drives the late game collapse. Ultimately, this game never feels like you are making strategic decisions to drive a band's success, but desperately praying you don't go broke despite any successes you have achieved while dutifully submitting to the prescribed courses of action.

### 2/5 — Game is good not until you start facing some Bug

*2025-11-12, version 1.9.3*

The game keep crashing if i want to make a video and some other thing it will just hang

### 4/5 — Very good

*2025-06-22*

Its actually really good ive finally made a succesful band but could you please add so you can make multiple saves a time and chamge how many people are in your band and what they do / blink 182 have 3 member / the dollyrots have 2 , that would make it better

### 2/5 — Too difficult to earn money

*2025-03-11*

I keep going bankrupt because it’s basically impossible to earn any profit as a beginner

### 4/5 — Bigger venues

*2025-02-25*

Enjoying the game, but when you get bigger maybe you should be able to select your venues on tour. 

I'm on level 27 or 28 and bigger than Queen (bigger than Mariah Carey, but don't want to be compared to her) and still only play 1 or 2 stadiums per tour.

### 3/5 — Could be more!

*2025-01-20*

Developers should consider the appeal it could have if more in the football manager mould.

### 2/5 — bad eco seems like a cashgrab

*2024-08-02, version 1.8.10*

despite the good gameplay for a poor graphics game you could at least allow the band to actually earn and not just burn money every week. negative losses always. cash grab is real.

### 3/5 — More free range

*2024-05-07, version 1.8.10*

I feel like your game should be a bit more free ranged I feel trapped on a pre determined path when I play this game and it makes it so much less fun to sit around and play I’ll get on for a few minutes then I feel like I can’t do anything so I stop playing :/

### 4/5 — On russian, please

*2024-03-31*

Russian translate will be very good

### 2/5 — Great until it stopped working.

*2024-03-30*

I’m a big fan of these kinds of games and the game itself is great while it works. Then it stops you saving the game, then it stops you being able to buy bottles. Pretty dumb. Frustrated and disappointed.

### 3/5 — Glitched objective?

*2024-03-22*

Pretty sure it’s glitched for me, it’s stuck on the objective of having 3 talent scouts at a gig, I’ve had 3+ multiple times now and it’s not changed anything.

### 3/5 — So So

*2024-03-21*

This game has a lot of potential but it falls flat in lots of places. The main one being is money. I recorded several records and the money barely is returned back to me. You’ll basically be in debt no matter what. I also don’t mind watching advertisements since I know that’s how you bring in income. However, the ads don’t work on my gameplay so I never get the chance to collect those awards. Other than that, the game seems pretty solid.

### 3/5 — 3.5 Stars. Not a Bad Game

*2023-12-01*

Overall, I enjoyed the game. Definitely a bit of a challenge if you don’t spend “real” money, however it’s not impossible. I reached level 22 and very quickly started to get bored unfortunately. The game seems to be very basic, in terms of objectives. It’d be nice to see a little bit more features to make each game you play more different each time. It just feels like the objectives are too repetitive. All that being said, I did enjoy the gameplay. It’s a great concept! I just wish it had a little more.

### 2/5 — Tombol yg tertutup tombo lain

*2023-06-28, version 1.8.1*

Ada tombol in game yang ketutup sama tulisan “next week”. Harap ditingkatkan.

### 1/5 — My Music label

*2026-06-14*

Is better (steam)

### 1/5 — Not working level 7

*2026-05-30, version 1.9.4*

I wanted to enjoy this game so much. After level 7 which is a single release a single the game freezes. Does anyone have a fix. The owners of the game stop responding to tell me how to fix it after I dropped some extra money on the game. So I hope there is a solution

### 1/5 — stuck at first single release

*2026-05-09, version 1.9.4*

i got stuck when i try to release my first single 
band id : 9E6BED48 Device: Iphone 11

### 1/5 — Big bug

*2025-10-18*

You cant play the game after level 7 because it freezes, and you cannot play anymore. 
Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Probably the worst mobile game i’ve ever played

*2025-03-13*

I was really excited to play this game because the concept of it looked fun and different from any other game I’ve played before.

Unfortunately I was hit with probably the worst game to ever exist on the app store period. They give you only 1000 money at the start which seems like a lot but is not at all. You immediately run through it before even getting to level 3 and then instantly go bankrupt if you don’t watch a 60 second add to only get 500 cash. 

The game is a total waste of time unless you like constantly trying to scrape the barrel getting 20 to 30 dollars profit from gigs. I highly don’t recommend this game to anyone and I find it a complete waste of time and multiple tries at trying to succeed fame.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2024-06-28, version 1.8.10*

Wants you to buy bottles to “keep the band happy” save your time and don’t play this.

### 1/5 — Update

*2023-07-07, version 1.8.1*

Update you guys game. It’s been months y’all should put more thought into your fans

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2023-01-15, version 1.7.2*

Really disappointed, paid for extras. Joined so I could save the game, logged in and lost everything. Tried to restore my purchases and it didn’t.

### 1/5 — Wanna watch ads?

*2022-09-05, version 1.7.2*

Want to watch ads and be asked to pay money for upgrades with every click? 
Yeah…..me neither 👎

### 1/5 — No thanks

*2022-08-09, version 1.7.2*

Just can’t play because cant close the ad. Get what you deserve

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2024-05-07*

Brilliant game but the main issue is gets repetitive. Please can we add new modern genres I.e. Electronic and you can have less than 4 members because this game is the best one eva

### 5/5 — Do More With This

*2023-07-30, version 1.8.1*

I love this game but it could be so much better i wish the developers would update it and add more complexity or more of a story aspect.

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2023-06-05, version 1.8.1*

I love the game all I got to say

### 5/5 — Updates

*2023-05-31, version 1.8.1*

I think We should able to tour how long and how short we want. What kind of venues we want. Arena tours or stadium tours. Residencies. Solo careers. More stuff to choose from.

### 5/5 — Amazing Game

*2023-05-25, version 1.8.1*

You can’t find a game like this, its so much fun and not too complicated for my little brain to handle. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — PERFECT

*2023-02-11, version 1.7.2*

Me and my bestest friend in the whole wide world stayed up from 7pm to 6am playing this and would bust nuts simultaneously to the epic riffs

### 5/5 — portuguese translation please🥹🤌🏻

*2022-05-10*

the game itself is pretty cool, exactly what I was looking for... but it could have a portuguese translation because it's a little difficult since I don't know english.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-06-16, version 1.6.8*

Great app I want to be in a band now really exciting a bit dodgy but otherwise good 
 
Finlay💩😈🤡👹☠️👽

### 5/5 — Question

*2020-05-26, version 1.6.8*

Can you have multiple slots or you just have one?

### 5/5 — Great Game But Could Be Better

*2020-04-29*

I love this game! I play it all the time and it is amazing! However, I believe it could be improved slightly.
1) You should be able to put out multiple singles per album if it does well or even moderately good.

2) You should be able to record songs at seperate studios at seperate times for albums.

3) There should be more studios and producers.

4) The touring aspect of the game should be expanded on, with a US tour, a european tour, a asian tour, etc.

5) Current bands could be a thing and could compete with your band and maybe even rilvaries.

6) More genres should be added (like rap, hip hop, heavy metal, country, alternative rock etc)

7) The chart system should be reworked, instead of sales being based on the chart spot, it should be the other way around.

That is all I could think of. It is a great game an I love it but it could be better.
