### 2/5 — FIX IT

*2026-08-16, version 5.5.1*

Absolutely ridiculous that there is no report button inside the game. You have to jump through hoops of nonsense questions and slow loading just to realize there’s no way to contact the developers unless through email. Worst part, they never answer emails or take literal years because they don’t care about foreign players. What a joke. 

FYI, the BGM on the Seeking Heart invitation is NOT WORKING. Fix it!!!

### 4/5 — French !!

*2026-08-07, version 5.5.1*

Faites le en français je vous en conjure 
Sinon super jeu ✌🏻

### 2/5 — 重すぎる

*2026-07-14, version 5.5.1*

ダウンロードに時間がかかる。スマフォがあちゅあちゅになる。あと翻訳が変。

### 3/5 — Network connection error

*2026-07-12, version 5.5.1*

I have no problem with my internet connection but game says that it has error connection problem so i cant play it anymore idk why? It takes so much time to download and i even payed for monthly login thingy

### 4/5 — impressive ui & vivid storytelling (not for kids!!)

*2026-07-05, version 5.5.0*

i returned to this game after a long time and am impressed with how far it has come since its first release. LOVE the user interface of the events, especially “island suspense”.

 the chat design is like mystic messenger but better, however the texts come a little too fast.

i’ll be updating my review as i continue to play the game, but it’s definitely one of the best otome i’ve ever played because it doesn’t feel cheesy or cringe like some others. you can tell that the artists put a lot of time and care into the game.
however, this game is definitely Not for kids as it has themes such as drugs/suicide/murder.

### 2/5 — Spanish

*2026-07-02, version 5.5.0*

We need spanish, please. Necesitamos español pero ya sé que pasáis de nosotros. Haber si ya os entra en la cabeza que todo lo que habéis conseguido, no solo es gracias a china.

### 3/5 — Too long

*2026-05-23, version 5.5.0*

The opening of the app takes too long, I keep pressing start but it still won’t open the actual game. It keeps happening, and I have to restart things. Manual repair doesn’t do anything, I tried restarting, I tried closing the app and opening it. NOTHING works. It’s a bit of a disadvantage especially since I tend to lose patience, and I’m passionate about my daily streak in the game. I really love the game, but with the start button always lagging—I just tend to lose patience and lose my love for this game.

### 5/5 — Please Hoyoverse!

*2026-05-01, version 5.5.0*

Hey Hoyoverse, please translate Tears of Themis into French! You’ll reach a much wider audience. And HONESTLY, the game is definitely worth translating into French,but hey, do what you want!

### 5/5 — I trust Hoyoverse

*2026-04-23, version 5.5.0*

I has played 3 games of this game company, and they’re never disappointed me!

### 5/5 — это капец как круто

*2026-04-15, version 5.5.0*

для меня это лучшая игра в этом жанре, единственное неудобство для русскоязычных — английский, но для меня это не проблема, поэтому кайфую и наслаждаюсь прекрасными мужчинами, спасибо вам, хоё, это лучшее что вы делали

### 5/5 — Best Otome

*2026-04-15, version 5.5.0*

The best otome game that’s not pay to win. You can pay if you want to get more cards but it’s not exorbitant too. Been playing for the past few years and the main storyline itself is so good already.

### 5/5 — Ojalá hicieran más juegos así

*2026-04-15, version 5.5.0*

Me encantan los casos, la historia y la protagonista (Rosa). Ojalá existieran juegos así de emotivos para nosotros los hombres y que no acaben con hentai. Además, los casos muy interesantes.

### 4/5 — 結構ハマる

*2026-04-04, version 5.1.1*

色んな女性向けゲームやってきたけどこれはかなり面白い
もっと展開してほしい

### 5/5 — Suggestions that can be added

*2026-03-15, version 5.1.1*

First of all, I want to thank you for such a wonderful game with interesting characters and a story that you really want to read. I've been playing for more than one year and I'm always looking forward to updates. Of course, there are also disadvantages, for example, there's nothing to do at a high level in the game. Events appear rarely, so it's hard to get new cards. Donate is very expensive and I don't even understand why (although I spend money on this game)

I think it's a good idea to add a feature to view possible characters in 3D, even though this game is 2D. It would also be interesting to add the main characters to other games from Hoyoverse. Because the game is not popular and gets lost in the background of other popular games. More people would know about this game if we saw them not only in Tears of Themis (Especially in games where players need more male characters and still don’t get them).

And of course more interactions with main characters

### 3/5 — Idioma

*2026-03-11, version 5.1.1*

We need Spanish in subtitles pls

### 1/5 — Genshin writers need to get over themselves

*2026-08-13, version 5.5.1*

All the other Hoyoverse games let you decide when to skip stories. I’m not spending any money on Hoyo games until they do…

### 1/5 — Very Poor Programming

*2026-06-14, version 5.5.0*

Not worth playing in 2026.
Ignoring how this game has always had major bugs.
From weekly missions end date jumping between Friday or Saturday. When I reported the bug  the response was it depended on events. No other games weekly missions changes the day it ends cause what they consider what a week is doesn’t change! Fortunately, after months of the issue, they fixed it.

I told them that their health app event was broken. Even sent them a video of the bug and they forward me to suggestions that doesn’t even allow for video. Suggestions proceed to ask me to make a YouTube video in private.
They simply ignored fixing it and reused the poorly made event 4 times for each guy. I am so done with this game that can’t be bothered to test if their events even work!

They also can’t even make a survey correctly! They make a long surveys but if you stay too long in the survey. It begins to massively lag.

I feel so done with this game after I put so much effort providing evidence on the 3rd time that broken event showed up. Only for it to appear again with the same bugs. It is a simple fix but they can’t be bothered to fix their event after months. Just reusing the same broken code over and over again.

Absolutely trash programming or ai programming. Don’t waste your time or money on a game like this.

### 1/5 — Can’t get past title page

*2026-06-05, version 5.5.0*

I logged in and everything, press tap to start but nothing happens. I have no idea why

### 1/5 — Genshin writers need to get over themselves

*2026-05-27, version 5.5.0*

All the other Hoyoverse games let you decide when to skip stories. I’m not spending any money on Hoyo games until they do.

### 1/5 — eee

### 1/5 — My account was banned permently

*2025-07-04, version 4.8.1*

How to lift the ban on my account so I will be able to play tot app any recommendation thank you

### 1/5 — HSR is bad

*2025-04-26, version 4.8.0*

It’s so bad, one bad review is not enough, so I’m adding one here.

### 1/5 — Can’t play

*2025-03-19, version 4.3.0*

It keeps crashing :( it has worked better whenever it was new.

### 1/5 — non stop crashing

*2025-01-20, version 4.3.0*

unable to play for more than 15 minutes at a time without the game just shutting down.

### 1/5 — Crashes very often

*2025-01-17, version 4.3.0*

The game either crashes or I can’t even login almost every time, while I have no problem with Genshin Impact and HSR. It’s very annoying and I have to redo unsaved stories and events often because of this.
Besides, there’s no Japanese voice over for events and only delayed JP VO for main story.

### 5/5 — 계정 문의드려요…! ㅠㅠ

*2026-07-31, version 5.5.1*

제가 갤럭시 패드로 플레이를 하다가 아이폰에서 하려고 폰에 앱을 깔고 로그인하려고 했는데… 패드에서는 구글로 소셜 로그인이 가능했었는데, 아이폰에서는 없더라구요…!!!
혹시 계정 연동하려면 어떻게 해야할까요…? ㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — Best mobile game I’ve ever played.

*2026-07-21, version 5.5.1*

Upon seeing the app icon of this game, I was immediately ensnared. As I read its description, I was determined to learn how closely it resembled Ace Attorney in terms of investigative mechanics and case cohesion, and I was not disappointed whatsoever. I deeply appreciate the visual novel aspect of Tears of Themis, especially in the main narrative and the Blossom stories. I find the future chapters (Sweet, Promise, and Dearest) to be rather stale in terms of gameplay and storytelling, but that is because I prefer having romance as a subplot to an overarching mystery narrative. The art is showstanding, musical instrumentals are appropriate and complementary (quite like the ambient instrumentals in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom — never excessive or overpowering), voice acting quality is top-notch, and the story is compelling beyond belief. I enjoy playing casually with the F2P system, hoarding materials to upgrade/level up my cards to progress the plot gradually, given higher power outputs for the card decks. I would just say that it would be lovely if arrows were added to the Fieldwork locations, so as to make it easier to navigate between districts instead of having the player press the ‘Back’ arrow and renavigate. Additionally, doing your dailies can get tedious and mind-numbing rather quickly, so if you have disposable income, you may want to invest in the monthly fund.

Overall, a fantastic game. The characters are incredibly well-written and provide much fodder for pondering the four different temperaments and human complexities. Luke Pearce / Xia Yan captured my heart. If you play this game, I hope that you can beget some enjoyment out of it and conduct some meaningful reflections thereafter.

### 5/5 — Lovable Otome

*2026-07-10, version 5.5.1*

I've been a fan of hoyoverse for quite a while and have played this game for 3 years+. It's lovable if you're into mystery/crime stories and if you like the characters! I still play this game about 15 mins a day to do dailies and/or current events

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-07-09, version 5.5.1*

### 5/5 — No.1 ในใจตลอดไป
