App Store Editors’ Notes

Love this game but a few ideas!

This game is pretty good. It’s nice to play a mindless game after a long day of work and also feel good when you advance to the next apartment or upgrade an idol. As well it’s nice that not everything needs to be bought with real money (though it may speed up the process sometimes). All in all I love a good game that isn’t pay to play. Thought it’s frustrating sometimes when trying to place an object and it can only rotate in two directions. It makes it difficult to customize your rooms (for example, couches aren’t able to face televisions!) As well there’s no option to sell items (as far as I know), and makes it somewhat annoying to search through your items list to find something you want. Even if the items were sold for a lower price than bought it would be nice to have a way to clear up your items list of unwanted furniture. These are super minor details and don’t ruin the gameplay or anything but I think by adding it could really enhance it!

I love, love, love this game!!

But I have a few things I wanna change. First of all, you should be able to have both girl and boy idols, not just boys. Second of all, it’s literally impossible to find any food that one person likes because you dont give me the whole selection and just a little bit…. Anyway, I adore the animation- the art style! I love how each idol has their own personality. My other complaint is how I literally had to wait almost two hours to unlock another room. But that’s okay now! Also, it might just be a glitch or something, but after I play the music game it glitches and just stays with the music background and all that. It doesn’t let me leave (I have to close the entire app to fix that). Anyway, thanks so much for making the app- LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT! If you’re considering getting the app and you’re reading this, get it. You literally won’t regret it. (It doesn’t have ads unless you wanna get something like shards or coins, or speed up the timers).

Amazing Game! A Few Bugs

This is an awesome game, I love the designing of the game and the ability to interact with the boys! The reward system is good and I like the ad options a lot, and the clothing options as well! It’s really fun and exciting! There are a few bugs, like when I close the furniture catalog it sometimes leaves the pictures of the furniture overlaying everything else, and I have to reload the app. When you click on the purple book and then click on a profile, the art of the singer is pushed to the right and covers the level of the singer, making hard to see the level and enjoy the art! I also noticed that I can do everything but move furniture with my Apple Pencil, even if I long press. My Apple Pencil can click and do anything else in game, so maybe it’s the game not registering it? Otherwise the game is really fun and I love this concept, great job!

Good but needs improvements

So the game itself is fun. I haven’t seen another game like it, which is awesome. But there’s a ton of improvements that are needed: 1. You can assign an idol to a new room/manor. But they’ll NEVER stay there. After they come back from a concert, they’ll choose a room at random, forcing you to click through every house you own to find the idol you want. 2. The ads, omg. Please create an add-on to skip/remove ads. It’s unbearable. Literally everything in the entire game is an ad. And not two or three then an ad. It’s one ad for every click/purchase ever. 3. There’s an odd number of levels. At level 6, I have maxed out the houses you can have and have nearly every single idol except 5 (and no, they aren’t the S tier). So what do I do next? Unless I feel like decorating their rooms (that they won’t stay in), there’s no point to keep playing. 4. Oddly, the idols can go to level 50. But my highest level is level 5 and I’ve reached the max unlock for homes. 5. Once an idol is hungry, you can’t click them to view their profile. It goes straight to you choosing food. You have to either exit out, find the book, then their card and click to read. THEN go back to feeding them. Or, you have to search the web for the answer. Too many clicks to do small things. 6. Needs more item variety. 7. There are broken ads. You watch them and then you don’t get your reward, even 5 mins later. It’s painful to play.

Love it so much ❤

This is probably one of the games that convinces you to log in everyday and spend 5 hours just playing, and that's not a bad thing AT ALL. I love the colors, the characters, the mini game, and I've managed to get so for in just a week. But I do have to address some things that make this game a little less enjoyable. Every time I finish the rhythm game, my game freezes and I can't get back into the game. I have to close the game, and then get back in. It's not as bad since it saves your score, but it kind of gives a headache after a while, and I really want to keep playing it though. Second of all, I think the game should add more characters, and the Saja boys "event" was kind of misleading, and that's also a reason I wanted to redownload it. Over all, amazing game!!! Love it so much and I will probably keep playing it lol.

Love

This game is so cute and I love the gameplay so far. I find it easy to get gold and gems without feeling like I’m being slowed down in the gameplay by not spending money to get more. I love all the little idols animations and getting to know them is such a cute functionality. I am so determined to figure out all their favorite foods. I did find a couple bugs so far I think, like the little descriptions on their info pages getting covered up by their stats, and the fact that I can’t seem to take down the wallpaper on the right wall, it’s stuck there permanently so I can’t put it back in my inventory and move it to the new dorms to decorate. I also kind of wish we had an open wall concept option like with PocketLove so I could more easily see my idols and the decor in the rooms.

Cute but needs some things

I love this game so much! It's like the idols are my babies and I'm taking care of them! But I have a few things that I think would make the game a bit easy and more fun. Leveling up the idols is one of the things you need to unlock stages and more buildings. You need idol photo cards and need to train them to level them up, but getting the photo cards isn't a guaranteed thing. You can watch an ad for one once you unlock an idol, but after that you have to use gems to get one. Even then it's not guaranteed! It's either a card or an idol that you won't be able to take care of cause there's no room for him in the office! 😭 The bond between you and the idols is something I just don't get. So far for me it doesn't severe a clear Purpose, you know?

It’s a decent game

I’d say the game is pretty decent, I like the artstyle, it’s simple enough but I did wish there was more thought put onto it, every character is somewhat unique but they all do have basic personalities with no depth, there’s nothing bad about that though since it’s probably on purpose. I wished there was more I could do to bond with them than giving them food, and more voice lines and a story I could follow that helps me learn more about them. The rhythm game is fun to waste time but after finishing the song, and when I press continue it doesn’t bring me back and just stays there and i have to restart the app everytime cuz if I don’t i’ll be stuck there forever. It takes a while to make money and the progression feels kind of lazy..? It’s a decent game but there’s still some things that needs to be improved.
