Community Insight:
This game is not hard to use and we LOVE IT!!!!!!! We love KPop sm and this is so awesome.
The game has areas where it could be improved but we are very happy to see that the game is still being updated even though we doubt it makes too much money (based on the number of reviews on the app store).
Developer, please read this review! We want to say that we love your game. We have been playing since 2 years ago on two different devices (NABI Entertainment and Eclipse Entertainment as you can see on the leaderboard ranking) and we have had so much fun, however we do have a list of feedback that we think could improve your game and players experiences as well. We have noticed a lack of inclusivity in this game including limited skin tones and ethnicities (idols can only be Korean, Canadian, American, Japanese, Chinese, or Thai) and there is only one default skin color. It would be really cool to include more customization in this category, however, we do understand that when it comes to accuracy, real-life K-Pop is very similar The idea of adding the ability to create Co-ed (mixed gender) groups or soloists alongside girl and boy groups would be very nice as it is a very highly requested addition. Termination confirmation: we would like a screen that displays confirmation if you would like to terminate your idol. We made the mistake 2 years ago of accidentally terminating one of our idols and ended up having to disband the group. We cried for a long time because we were so sad Please make it easier to obtain stars or make items cost coins instead of stars. The higher you level up, rewards for leveling up could be more than just money because money is no longer an issue for us. We are currently at company level 70, and we personally think that a better reward than money is needed because money is no longer a concern. We noticed that after building level 47, there is no upgrade after that, but there is an empty room with nothing there, which makes the building look incomplete. There are quite a bit of minor mistranslations in the game, and there is also a completely untranslated piece of text: when you open trainee recruitment and scroll down to find the idol profile, is left untranslated to Profile unlike if you were to simply visit the idol page and find the profile it will not be in Korean. More genres and concepts would make the game far more enjoyable and interesting. We think that having more concepts other than cute, sexy, chic, and pure would be nice because there are so many concepts in K-Pop that could be used: ex. Dark/horror, youth, magical/fantasy, y2k, retro, etc. We think there are other genres that could be added as well: ex. Rock, edm, funk even pop, really (Im surprised there is no pop genre here ) Gacha reward probability should change with company level as its extremely difficult to get hairstyles and accessories from gacha. Ive noticed a pattern in other reviews of the game and we agree this game could be more beginner friendly. Ive been playing for 2 years and there are still things we dont know about this game haha we also personally think that this game could use more reasonable pricing we dont think anybody will spend 1.0k (which is already a ridiculously unattainable amount of stars unless youre willing to spend some money, which we dont think many will) to upgrade management team, and the special clothing, wandering vendor, and clothing designer are all also overpriced. Sorry for all the complaint, but lastly, we think that this game could benefit from more end game opportunities. After basically reaching the end of the game, we find that Im losing things to do and the game is getting a bit boring because Im only making albums and having national tour concert and resting our idols whenever their HP is low, so Im running out of things to do in this game. Nonetheless, Im in love with your game and we find it super fun, Ive just found some small complaints to make over these past 2 years about the game, and we truly hope this review doesnt come off as rude and we also hope the developer can read this because we think that many other players of this game can agree with what we have to say! Love your game.
We played this game years ago and theres still multiple things from then that havent been fixed. For one. The English translation isnt very good, and it still has the same translation errors as from when we first played it. Second, the game itself is just very hard. There were multiple times we had to take a loan (Aka the game did it automatically because you cant take one unless your under x amount?) because balancing profit while waiting for our idols to train was hard. The game heavily punishes you for not pumping out songs quick enough, while also punishing you for using the same concepts multiple times. (Cute + HipHop Trend coming back? And you made a 2nd album exactly like that? Ew!) This feels like the opposite of what would happen IRL, where if you stick to one genre, youll get fans who will stick with you because of it. Theres also not a lot of Outfits. For each category (cute, sexy (which is weird when you can have idols younger than 15), pure, and chic) theres only 3 outfits that you can buy without the premium currency. And these never swap out or change if your stylists quality improves. We find this insane considering you get an album that shows you theres at least 100 outfits in the game. But we assume they only come from the gacha machine, which at best will give you gold for the fact you have to wait and get 10 tokens back just to spin each time. We feel like this would be much better if it only cost 1 token and the rates were still the same, since others have complained about a money struggle in the game multiple times.
We love this game so much but can yall add mixed gender groups.
Can you make it where we can have coed groups if possible.
Perfect aside from how hard it is to gain money,we wish trainees werent limited though,we'd rather pay money for auditions than have to get up 5 levels for 1 trainee,but thats the only thing,other than that we love it.
We love this game!! Ive been playing on + off + we must say its extremely addictive. Ive restarted like 4-5 times now because once our groups improve + keeping money becomes easy we tend to get bored. A couple of features we would love to see: 1) different genres. We have the 4 main concepts but we think it would be cool to also choose between genres. As an example, if we were using real groups we would probably say dreamcatcher + blackpink could be best categorized as chic if we had to sort them into a concept but theyre wildly different in reality. We think having genres like rock, pop, edm, etc would be cool. Theres tons of different genres so we understand if this is heavily simplified for the sake of the devs. 2) soloists + subunits!! This is our biggest thing about the game that we wish was a feature. We would LOVE to have soloists as well as make subunits out of our groups. We feel like this wouldnt be too difficult to add + we think it could be a fun touch. Im not sure if the developers even still update this game (we dont think they do) but we hope that they see this + take it into consideration! <3.
It so addicting, but after a while we sort of got a bit bored, but this game is underrated!!! So funnnn.
Hey this game is good but something that just bothers us is that you cant change K-pop idols group name we just got a new recruit and originally the group was a 3 member group and named it viviz and now that we got a now girl member we want to change the group name but we cant we just feel like that need to change.
We love this game, ive played several times, problem is that everything takes FOREVER, we get its more realistic but it shouldnt be so hard to get recruits or album production takes forever. And when you get to 2 groups instead of 1 you have to be strategic just to keep a study flow of money. Besides that? Its fun, we personally enjoy it despite hardships. It takes some time to learn all the mechanics but after that its good.
We love this game, and we play it very often. Theres just one major problem, every so often, it collects money from you. That of course wouldnt be a problem, except for the fact its like 80% of what you made. Its hard to gain money when most of your money is being taken away.
We love this game, we got it recently, and we are obsessed, but we would say one thing. It takes a while to produce albums and songs. So find yourself something to do in the meantime, for example homework or classwork.
We LOVE this game, its really addictive, but we just have a question, Ill really like to make a soloist artist, so we were wondering if it is possible or if you could make it posible.
The game is very good and fun, but its rarely updated and its hard to keep money because time goes by so fast. Needs more concepts and outfits, maybe add additional things like fandom names, light sticks, stuff like that which would make it more entertaining. Its an addicting game though, but to keep players we recommend updating it more and adding additional things, possibly adding album names and stuff to make it entertaining. Maybe co-ed groups even.
We dont know why this happens but everytime we leave the game it always puts us in debt or takes someone our money. If someone could please fix this it would be a huge thanks.
It is a very good and addictive game the only problem is the trainee limits.
We love this game and its really fun, however we would really like more detail like at the beginning of the game it'd ask you if you wanted to be and idol or produce idols. Or if you could be a soloist or a duo instead of only having bands. Maybe add things when you look at the idols/trainees itd say Most biased- 2/4 or just little details like that. If you could specifically have a certain top and then a certain bottom for outfits and you could pair them yourself also the prices for those stars are extremely overpriced- 35$ for 5000 stars?! But overall we give this game a 7.6/10.
The reviews on albums always are negative. No matter how much we try, we still cant get a single good review.
This game is good, its one of our top games, but the thing that you run out of money really quickly. Sometimes Im several millions in debt! So we would like it you had an option somewhere to earn more money.
We love this game but it needs some more depth like making light sticks and naming the groups fans. Also a few mini games would be great. The only complaint we have is that the location shooting for music videos just stopped being available even though our company is at level 21.
It loads too long as you can see by the title. We have full bars and great Wi-Fi but its still not working- you better fix this soon or else.
We absolutely love this game, and we personally think its the most accurate kpop idol game out there. Here are some major suggestions. – Stars: They are extremely hard to get and in-app purchases is pretty much the only way thats obtainable. Once you run out of achievements or youve reached the ones that are extremely hard to obtain, stars are pretty much impossible to have, so definitely work on having more opportunities to get stars other than achievements. – PR Events: It seems too hard to maintain popularity, so we suggest adding more PR events. – Trainees: The max number is way too low, especially if youre focusing on multiple groups at a time. You should also get to choose more than 3 idols because the selections are not very diverse since its either pay for a low-score idol for cheap or a high-rating for 900 stars Overall, we think this one an amazing game, but things need to be expanded on some more since its not very diverse overall. We think you guys are doing a great job on this and you deserve a round of applause.
This game is a fun game to play when ur bored and just want to relax u we been playing for a long while now and if u want something to play when u need entertainment this is the one for u.
Its a lot of fun recruiting trainees and promoting and all that jazz. We just wish there was an easier way to get hearts or that there was a larger and more diverse pool of potential recruits. We also wish that the maximum group size in terms of members were raised a few, maybe 13-15.more hairstyles and clothes would be appreciated, some that dont cost 100s of hearts pls. As well as more schedules and activities. We really love this game and wish to see the creator or creators really push it to take it to the next level.
We love this game. Its super fun and definitely reminds us of real K-pop companies. The thing is, during production of albums, you cant make any money whatsoever. It makes it super hard to maintain good albums when you can hardly afford the music video. Also, wish you could change the lighstick, and add a fan base name. And the clothes are ridiculously expensive. It takes a really long time to get anything more than one star ratings and comments on albums. Besides that, fun game! Would recommend.
- More trainees: at around level 60, esp if you mainly focus on girl or boy groups you start to run out of trainees. Having more trainees would also make the distinction between the quality of trainees in each type of audition more clear. – More outfits/rotating: the idea here is that for each concept there are 6-10 outfits to buy with coins but they randomly rotate every week or so, so you have to be more active to collect a full set. In the same vein, you could add special event outfits like the Christmas ones. – Soloists and Subunits: there should be a function to debut a member/members of a group as a solo or a subunit. Idk how this would work with the one album at a time thing. Maybe if you get the 1000 stars for a third group slot? – Easier to get stars: it is pretty hard to get stars, and it is also pretty easy to accidentally spend stars on something like secret promotions. This has happened to us 3 times. – Title track naming: name the title and next song of an album we hope we get a major update soon! Any of these ideas would be great.
We really enjoy this game but we were just a little irked when we had to transfer data to a new phone and we couldnt restore the purchases we made.
We enjoy the game overall we can spend hours on it on end and forget about time. Our only issue is that we wish they can debut soloist because soloist are idols as well.
When its next month please make it where it doesnt take all of your money or just most of it because when we had 1 billion it just took all of it.
The game overall has a unique concept and enjoyable play through. However, just like everyone else, it is almost impossible to consistently get funds to properly manage your business. It may be more realistic but we find it very frustrating when trying ti run our little band.Otherwise the game is amazing, it has unique gameplay and very engaging mechanics.
This game is so addictive, every time we dont know what to do we can feel it calling our name. Even though its addictive, its pretty hard to trains idols, but we dont know if its a skill issue for us though. On the other hand we can see this game being better if they added more things for your idols to do. Im on level 40 and its pretty repetitive to be honest(thats what makes it addicting). We wish theyd add more things but we cant say much since ive only been playing for 2 days lol. This game can definitely improve.
- For auditions, global audition should be an option. 2. There should also be soloists 3. Let the groups go on world tours.
Loving it. It just is hard to earn cash but its still very fun.
This game was honestly a fun and addicting game! And the character design is super duper cute! But for some reason nowadays the game will not open for us . We have tried redownloding it multiple times and it just wouldnt work, we have contacted the devs on Instagram a while ago but we havent gotten a reply. If the devs are reading this PLEASE FIX THIS BUG.
It's been one of our favorite games, at times a bit frustrating when we have so much trouble keeping money since time goes by so quickly and events or schedules use so much money that by the time we've made profit from an album or song, we're scraping by to save ourselves from debt. But we suppose it adds a realistic touch, whether intentional or not. But we digress, our main issue for the past 2 weeks (yes 2!!) has been that we can't even open the game! It does the whole opening scene process with the "made by Unity" and whatnot but as soon as it gets to the main loading screen where it shows the idols on stage performing while it loads to open the game, it says "game loading, please wait…" and so we wait. We wait. Wait a little more. Now it's been twenty minutes and we're still waiting! It has been like that for weeks and we can't possibly play when it wont even open. Before you ask, our internet connection is not the problem we've experimented with it many times to see what the issue was, we also deleted and redownloaded the game about 6 times. We had finally built up a steady company, the money was starting to flow in with no worries of debt, the group was going great, the albums were getting insanely good numbers. We left the game alone for a week because we'd gotten busy, and when we come back it won't even open. Please help we miss playing.
Its super fun but we lose money super quickly. Like im overworking our idols to get atleast to 100 M and lose all that money within a sec and cant even make more cause now im stuck at $-0. So it would be cool to have a feature where u can make money while producing albums. Overall this game is addictive.
We think you should make a bit life like letting us control our idols in their actual lives. It would be cool if add new features for the group development like mixed groups with male and female idols also could we not make it 1k to upgrade the management for more idol groups? But it is fun game dont get us wrong.
This game so fun we be playing it for hours and lose track of time.
We loves this game but we would like to be able to debut trainees as solos and duosI have two amazing trainees and Im at level 33, but its taking forever to level up and theyre gonna be 20 soon, we dont want them being in theyre 20s when they debut, that means the sooner we might have to get a youth potion on them, and we dont have enough stuff for the youth potion that keeps all the stats, but we got theyre stats up really wellPlease add soloists and duos!! Really great game though, keep it up.
We thing this game is really fun but we dont really understand how when recruiting trainees, one skill can be out of the chart but when you pick them it goes really down. The rating too. It can be 59 but when you pick them, it goes down to 54 or something. But other than that we think its really fun.
First make it not as easy to lose money we will lose money in weeks even tho we just started Second we would like if we could have soloist instead of a group Third mixed gendered groups Fourth Cheaper clothing that you need stars to get because it would take us a long time to get even just 300 But overrall its a very good game we just wish it was improved because it has loads of potential :).
We bought an in app purchase to level up our manager to make two idol groups and instead we got nothing.
Its a really good game. We are top 2 second richest company on game center. But how to upgrade the building? We have not been able to go past makeup room.
We hate the type of concepts we have to select because once a group gains multiple fans and have used all the concepts you will keep getting the message of your group has used this concept so many times please remove that!! Also, add more features in terms of promotions and maybe solo/sub-units. This game has so much potential but the way that it hasnt gotten any big update its bad.
Pretty much everyone else mentioned the impossible task of gaining bank, and it pretty much is. When your making an album theres no way to earn money without having another group doing events. Ive been playing the game pretty much religiously for about five months and some tips we have is to look at what idol is good at what and make them destroy in that one area and gradually getting them good at everything else. Another thing is that you should never only have one idol group when you have the chance to get another. Yes training seemingly takes ages and probably does but itll be good in the long run. If you have a stable group of two groups alternate the album production and you should never not be producing. If you are quick will uploading youll get more opportunities for higher paying schedule. Im currently 50Billion in debt but it doesnt seem to effect you in any way but it being annoying every month to casually borrow money. The game is best played often and good, when you get the option to add a new group to your current one do and make all their stats to 72 collectively, assuming your staff is relatively high you should easily be gaining money. When an idol group becomes old (like we stop when three of our idols are over 40) retire that group and have the second group be the main group and net a new group through requirements. After playing for a while youll get the hang of it but it really needs time. Thanks for reading of you did! :).
A great game and all but alters make it a way to earn money more easily.
This game is fun and addictive but its constantly crashing its barely even playable with the amount of crashes.
This is a fun game but it is difficult. First, please make a feature where you can buy gold. Second, please ad the daily reward screen when you open the game, that way you can claim your reward easier.
We remember playing this game a few months ago and we found it on the App Store again, so we downloaded it again. When we opened the app it was stuck on the loading screen, well, we couldnt really tell if it was loading of it was stuck. So can you please add a loading bar? And if it is stuck loading, can you fix it please.
