Community Insight:
Game slays, we can spend like an hour or two mindlessly being a drag queen very fun game except everytime we open the game it gives us a tutorial on most things, it's quite irritating.
This game is awesome! This always has a way to cure our boredom hence the many times we redownloaded after our storage was finally down. Love this so much yall get this game.
There used to be a ru bubble that gave dianonds lip stick ect.. No lo longer has that bonus but game is awesome.
We love this game so much- all the references to the show and the art style are so cute.
We get to have fun with fashion and enjoy our favorite people from RPDR, its a win all around.
Super fun and reminds us a lot of the real show.
We love this game. It makes us happy. Send tweet.
Just a thought, but maybe the wardrobe should only have a notification when you can afford to upgrade a piece. All those pink arrows and green arrows just gets overwhelming a little. Thank you if someone actually sees this, we love this game and Im still playing everyday haha.
It doesnt really guide you all too much so there are some things we do that confuse us in the app but we love the outfits and mini challenges we do wish we went against people for lip sync for your life like servers and stuff you could join and we go through challenges kinda like among us vibes you know like we all go one by one til theres a drag race winner but besides that 10/10 love RuPaul.
We really love this game! We were nervous playing a dress up game but this one allows us to be a trans man while being able to dress up feminine. We love that. Plus all the npcs have pronouns and some are even non binary! Theres a lot of ads but its actually nice to have the ads since they help get game currency.
Addictive game- just too much unnecessary tapping.
We really love this game and play it all the time, but some of the prices for the event packages are just insane and make us not want to ever buy anything from the game. The only other critique is that toot and boot is painfully slow to use and feels like a hassle with how long it takes to vote for someone and get to the next. Other than that live the game.
Concept is a bit strange for the workroom point building, and we can never get enough even after putting hours in, to win any event prizes each mini event which is gone by the time Im even remotely close. We have plenty of cool clothing and Im enjoying the new daily challenges, we just dont understand why we add points for clothing instead of stars like we do with the daily challenges. It would make it more cohesive, the points already are confusing and pointless. The stars are already on all clothing from upgrades. It doesnt allow us to ever fit the themes, so it doesnt make sense. We dont appreciate the 30.00 dollar a month season, without giving lower priced options as well. Like we want to be able to pay 7-10 dollars for a makeup box or a shoe box. We want to be able to participate in trying for monthly prizes or upgrades without blowing our paycheck on a video game. We wish there was a bit more something something for the drag queens Ive already earned. Like we want to change their outfits or buy them upgrades too.
Every single update always goes wrong the first couple of time that you do it. We work so hard for our account and we're not trying to give all away because of the update. Please fix it.
The game has a few glitches. It has frozen on us several times and Im using an iphone14 pro max henny! All in all its a fun game. Its a minute to figure out but once you do its great! The special challenges and mini events end up costing you $$$. Theres no possible way to win without paying for the special promos that they make you click every time to play the game!!! Ive become slightly addicted but Im sure the high will come down soon. Till then Im werkin it.
We downloaded this game 3 days ago and so far its pretty addicting, but we do have some suggestions. For starters, you can level up very fast which gives you the confidence to be able to navigate the game without paying (which we LOVE). They give away free fashion trunks every day and you can claim a free Ru-Chest every 3 hours. You can tell there is someone behind the curtain reading the reviews because they do make updates that Ive noticed other people have said in the past. That being said, lets get down to the suggestions (one is not entirely money friendly sorry not sorry the world is too broke to be balling out on a game lets be real here). The only suggestions we noticed so far that Ill mention are in the beginning, a newcomer is pretty much unaware of how valuable the Rudollas, Lipsticks, and Gems are. We would make it more clear in the beginning you have to spend real money in order to replenish certain things. Tailing off that we would like to say we wish there was an option to buy gems with rudollas along with real money (if they want to pay extra). Yes, that probably defeats the purpose of in-app purchases, but we did warn this suggestion wasnt entirely money friendly. And Chile lets be serious, people are going to spend money on this game regardless; might as well make it hopeful for the people that cannot afford to. ALSO, the weekly/daily opponents DEFINITELY 1000% needs to be fixed. MAJOR GLITCH! Ive been on level 1 and 2 with 2k points going up against queens with 15k-20k points therefore our character cannot recieve many rewards. That glitch needs to be fixed where you have those queens going up against EACH OTHER. Not little old us on level 2. To wrap up we will continue playing and come back with an update later to see if we still like the game. Bye for now, everybody say LOVE.
This game is so fun in many ways! Its addicting to win and buy new clothing and to upgrade pieces for a completely new appearance. We like the variety of challenges, the ability to vote on other peoples designs and the ability to play a game like this without doing irrelevant things like matching colored bubbles or something. However, the Werk Room is AWFUL. Its the worst design for a game Ive ever played. It is so hard to learn whats going on, and it literally only consists of waiting and clicking. It takes way too long to progress through each episode considering that there is often nothing else to do in the game after you spend a few minutes doing your other challenges. We wish there was something different that could happen with this! Even keeping the same idea but making your workstations permanent instead of having to start over every single time would be so much better! Lastly, this game absolutely requires you to spend real money in order to get anywhere. The upgrade system for clothing is completely ridiculous and it makes the game seem classist. You can buy a high end item for around $6,000, then to upgrade it ONCE you have to buy that item again for the same price, THEN pay an additional huge fee to upgrade it. Many items can be upgraded up to 3-5 times!!! For the cheap items, you have to purchase them a second time and then pay $300 to upgrade it. Thats ABSURD. And seeing how you cant succeed in the game unless you have at least a few top tier upgraded items – its incredibly classist. Please change the clothing upgrade system and the awful werk room. You have people telling you theyve been spending real money in the game but are still going to quit playing. We appreciate this game and want to continue playing it, but some changes need to be made.
The game was good, but then it started us all over again and froze up Everytime we tried to go into settings to contact someone. We got tired if having to start over and over again at the very beginning and losing everything, so we deleted the game.
And the titles when you win is a little offensive.
We will begin by saying we love this game, for months we have been playing and have gotten so far. Up until yesterday where our game out of nowhere started from the beginning and our character that we made is now gone. It is set to a default character. We are extremely upset as we have put in numerous hours into this game only for it to be gone. We have contacted support and they have been no help whatsoever.
Ive been playing for a few months now and Ive noticed that when you watch the ads that give you 4x extra coins, they dont give you anything extra in fact. We dont know why thats being false advertised like that, but it made us REALLY look into when we are able to upgrade our characters and when our characters upgrade with extra coins, or we can lose time on our werkstations. It doesnt make ANY difference. Im not sure if this is just for us but that is ridiculous. Devs you really need to fix that, its very misleading and the only real way to get ahead is to spend diamonds but those go VERY fast so of course you have to spend real money to get ahead in this game.
After completing challenges, you should not be able to be gifted any fashion or beauty items that you already have maxed out. If you want players to feel like theyre really getting an experience, it shouldnt be so hard to upgrade your queen. Yall are bold for charging the prices you do for a GAME.
We like dressing up our Queen but you do have to spend money to advance or you feel like your forever just clicking just to get to some coin and a challenge ; the work room was confusing and a bit disappointing, we were hoping it was more like the show in the sense of when given a category we get ready, walk the runway and be judged by the panel and then lip sync battle..but we like it for now jus playin dress up with our queen.
When we win missions, we seldomly receive the rewards. They are transferred as cash but we never receive the cash or award. Makes us apprehensive to spend our own money for fear that we will not receive our purchase.
We cant get past the part where you first choose a wig it just completely freezes no matter how much we restart it :/.
After investing a lot of time and too much $$$ into the game, Im considering bidding farewell. Now theyve deleted the bubble rewards where you earned cash and credit coins. This making it extreme hard to purchase items and to play the challenges and competitions. This is just greedy and disrespectful to take the one good thing that helped us so much. Hopefully they will update with something to make up for the lack of or bring it back. If not, Im bowing out gracefully, and we really love this game! We just cant stay with a game that you cant get anywhere with.
If we pic things itll show up as something else instead of what we chose.
Why is it extremely hard to get makeup and upgrade the clothing it really irritating.
At first we loved this game, but then it was just riddled with bugs. We would constantly have to restart the game when the message error in connection came up. When we would restart the game, we would loose most of our progress. We even bought an in game game pack, and after being forced to restart the game once again, the game pack we bought was gone, but our money wasnt refunded. We are a big fan of RuPauls drag race, but am disappointed in this game. We deleted it because bug just keep getting worse.
Uhm!!!!!! Cant write a review unless.
We are so over this game. We are so over the uneven match making. We are over the people who are clearly hacking so they top the charts of every event. We are over the game catering to people who are able to spend money. We are over the dumb changes that no one asked for, like having to wait for 8 hours to play the daily event & reducing the amount of entries per day. We could go on. This game was so fun when it first came out. Now its a money pit with glitchy events & an upgrade structure that makes it difficult to advance.
Spending time and energy into the game is not worth it at all. You are better off NOT doing so because your chances of earning top rewards will not increase with more effort (ie. Higher star and rarer items).
We love the fashions in the game its fun the play but the scoring process is definitely rigged to get you to buy more stuff they let you win the first round then the next two you loose no matter if the opponent is in the same drag or something completely worse lol but over all we do like the game we just want them to fix a few things.
The library is officially open on the developers of this game: our previous review was removed for some mysterious reason so we guess Ill have to reiterate- first, the odds of winning battles have gone down significantly, and it feels intentionally baked into the game to stifle player progress. Everyone ive spoken to is experiencing it tooits even evidenced by the increasing number of unique negative reviews you seem to be getting in such a short period of time. Battles used to be fun bc you had two mostly evenly matched opponents and it was fun to see who could combine items in unique ways to beat the other. Thats all gone nownow its mostly bots (the names give it away) with far superior items and winning seems impossible. Good god girl get a grip or youre gonna lose more players.
We submitted a ticket in APRIL the issue is still not fixed and still hasnt been addressed. SO NOT SOEND MONEY in this app, we did and have not had access to anything we bought for almost 3 months now and we spent a considerable amount of money. We were told twice to have patience with no indication that the issue was being worked on, no progress just snarky emails to be patient. We WANT A REFUND FOR EVERY PENNY we SPENT IN THIS HORRIBLE APP. We do not want to be told we need to be patient we have been patient for almost 4 months now. Our best advice is only what you can for free, dont bother spending your hard earned $$.
It is extremely tedious to click every notification separately and delete them. Either remove them, or add a clear all button. The pop up ads during events are SO annoying and must be clicked every time they pop up. Stop. Edit: done with the fake "we listen to feedback" comments too.
We have spent we dont know how much money playing this game, and Ive been stuck at the same level for two months because it never offers the character upgrade cards for us to progress.
We love this game . Theres so much to it . Never a dull moment.
We like the show in the game just like it Kinda if you like RuPaul drag race you like this make is him talking just so you know.
So entertaining thank you Mama Ru! Has so much to do like events, maxi challenges redos, weekly challenges, daily challenges, and episodes as well as a contestant judged contest.
Its the best game for members of the lgbtq+ community and especially us since Im a gay crossdressing femboi It mostly has some amazing outfits and some that are questionable but its got fun events and challenges and is totally worth playing! We love it so much.
This game constantly has stuff for us to keep our mind busy and stay focused on! Plus its drag so its even better.
Its a very fun game and we love the updates. Keeps us busy trying to get our favorite queens and place to get rewards! Highly recommend.
This game is super fun and easily occupies our time.
Love this game. It just takes to long to get prizes on the Events.
We LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT. THIS GAME our favorite game!!! Ive always been a fan or drag race.
Normally, with the title Ive put, we wouldnt be able to leave a 5 star review. At the end of the day, this app is a business. And we rarely, truly, spend money on mobile apps. As a gay man ourselves, the only thing that comforts us and eases our buyers remorse on buying digital things that simply arent real, is knowing that RuPaul is making money off of that. This app is fun, its competitive, and if a man who built a path for every drag queen alive to truly succeed is asking us for 10-20 bucks to feel like a winner while we waste some time sure, why not. Theres a lot of content to be enjoyed. Dressing up our racer is fun, and each item (and theres so many wardrobe items) having an upgrade makes it even more enjoyable to push to make the cash to upgrade it. We find ourselves spending hours a day enjoying this game, and in the future will be spending hours more. Once again, from the entire LGBT community to you – thanks, RuPaul.
We love Rupaul so we love this game but the only downsides it has is the events dont even last that long and doesnt give you enough time to get stuff unless you pay gems or money. You have to log in like every 20 mins if you actually want the final thing for the event. Make events longer and easier for players please.
We just started playing and its already so much fun. The game is just like the show, its just so accurate! And we love all of RuPauls outfits.
Idk how yall are saying its a cash grab ive been playing for like 2 years and we didnt spend a single PENNY and the game is perfect. Its not a cash grab you just need to play. Thats what you do with a game. Play it. We didnt know that ppl were this dumb. Anyways this game is soooo fun. The events are really great! We definitely recommend.
