### 5/5 — I love this game

*2026-08-22, version 4.10.1*

I got an iPhone just to enjoy this game

### 1/5 — I’m not getting fooled this time

*2026-08-21, version 4.10.1*

When you guys shut princess connect down crunchyroll I will never forgive you for this

### 2/5 — see below

*2026-08-09, version 4.10.1*

unbalanced & buggy (2) not to be confused with the one with no number mine as well .

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-08-09, version 4.10.1*

Absolutely great game

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-08-06, version 4.10.1*

Very fun and exciting to play

### 1/5 — Update, aber kein Update im Store

*2026-08-02*

Wenn ich das Spiel starten will, kommt die Meldung, dass es ein neues Update gibt. Diese verlinkt mich zum Store wo ich es angeblich laden soll….nur da gibt es keins!!! Und das schon seit mehreren Stunden. App ist somit für mich unbrauchbar geworden.

PS: Nach Antwort der Entwickler…
Vielen Dank für die „schnelle“ Antwort nach 4 Tagen. Übrigens, die Verlinkung führt mich zum Store, nur im Store war das Update nicht zu finden. Dies hatte ich aber weiter oben so geschrieben. Naja, auch egal…

**Developer response:** Hallo! Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass Sie Schwierigkeiten beim Aktualisieren des Spiels haben und die App dadurch unbrauchbar ist. Wir verstehen, dass die Verlinkung zum Store frustrierend ist, wenn das Update dort nicht verfügbar ist. Bitte versuchen Sie, die App zu deinstallieren und erneut zu installieren. Das könnte helfen, das Problem zu lösen. Wir schätzen Ihr Feedback und hoffen, dass Sie bald wieder ein reibungsloses Spielerlebnis haben werden! 💛

### 3/5 — Fun but Overpriced.

*2026-07-30, version 4.10.0*

The game is fun and has great visuals. But the gacha mechanics are rough. Pull rates are very low and the premium currency is outrageously expensive. Its difficult to get the characters you want.

### 4/5 — I ain’t gon do it

*2026-07-20, version 4.9.0*

Do it for the vine

### 1/5 — What??

*2026-07-15, version 4.9.0*

Game size says 392 MBS, no where near a full gig and I can’t even get passed start screen because it says I don’t have enough storage even though I have 12 gigs available?? Loved the show, would like to play the game and I know I need a phone upgrade but I think it should still be able to be playable on an iPhone 14.

### 5/5 — Can use some tweaking

*2026-07-02, version 4.9.0*

The progression rate is ridiculous. For example, if you wanted to unlock all of 
1 of the characters entire dialogue chat options you would have to play for at least 2 months straight. Upgrading the magic furnace is the same, you can only do a weekly raid to slowly upgrade it but the rewards are way too little to help you get stronger, even after 5 months I’ve unlocked what, 1/30th of it?
However devs did a good job in other aspects, Claire wears a very beautiful ballroom dress!
