The game is declining
I used to love this game and it was very sociable but currently it is boring and for everything you occupy crowns, it is something that makes it look terrible, that's why almost no one plays anymore because they want to charge you crowns for everything and I get ads every two seconds, I miss the prime of this game a few years ago..
CAN NOT RECOVER ONCE DELETED
I have sent emails since November 2025. The app got deleted from my phone and I can’t not recover my account. No one will email me back either.
VIP members and ads
So when did vip members get ads again if this is the case not only will I cancel my membership because I am pretty sure that’s apart of the point of having one to begin with but one of the only reasons I have one anyways it’s annoying I hope it gets fixed or yall come out with an announcement so we can move accordingly- A member for 11 years and currently a gold vip member
Crowns = 🗑️
Crowns ruined it -Avakin Veteran
crowns/MONEY HUNGRY😒
this game is pretty good HOWEVER if you actually want good outfits or other things, you have to purchase crowns to buy them!! and of course there are too many ads 🙄. ALSO, there are very few hair options for black people/avatars. I genuinely do wish i could enjoy this game more, but it is just TOO money hungry 😒
Bring the streaming Radio back
I really wish that the streaming radio could be given back to people who pay monthly subscriptions at least, The music that is played is wack we have radio players for nothing life false advertisement after spending money to buy the music players I the beginning because it had streaming live music. I use to love going to my rooms decorating or just sit and listen to real music with friends now I don’t have the desire to get on the app, party’s or not the same with the fake radio music it’s heart breaking, Keep me posted when the real music is back please and Thank you.
horrible
it’s not the same as early 2017 era
Bit of an odd change, but okay
I downloaded this app again recently as I used to have it in 2020 when the world was bored out of our minds, and was surprised to see that not only is this game running rampant with ai now, but it just steals your money and doesn’t take any accountability for it? I tried to make two purchases and when I would confirm the purchase it would say “something went wrong” but would take the money anyway. I waited a few days and never received the items I purchased. Super disappointing.
Horrible bugs
This app was down for several hours for maintanence 2 weeks ago and they literally fixed nothing. The app is even more buggy than it was before, you randomly get booted from the app, the lag makes it nearly impossible to engage in the new in-game events. Some of us are payign $20 a month for vip perks on an app that is barely functional. Probably another $100 on in-game currency a month if we’re being real. It’s honestly sad how this game will take your money and offer a mediocre player experience. Today the app won’t even start up and i have the most recent update installed.
Broken event, CRASHING
Now im not getting my daily shards for the rewards!!! I even got the feather for extra points but the game hasn’t worked for 3 days!!! I can’t join servers, won’t let me join any of the two new servers, as soon as i click a server app CRASHES. there’s a lot of crashing, new event is unplayable, fishing is broken. Can’t use emoji’s. A lot of lag. Can’t look at peoples profile. Crashing every -5 minutes or less. Sometimes i just opened the app and one minute in, crash.
Crash a lot
The game is not gaming for me to many bugs and crashes
Very disappointing
I started playing this game around 2017-2018 and used to play this game every day and loved meeting new people and I did so much in that game. I stopped playing in around 2022 and just wanted to see what it was like now and wow it is horrible. Nobody talks,There are ads everywhere even when going to different servers which used to not be a thing. Crowns are now here and devalued many items like my gold wings that were 150k gold and now they are only worth 400 crowns. Like come on now I spent so much time getting those wings just for them to be worth nothing now. It seems like they don’t like listening to us which is unfortunate and it’s disappointing that they have 4.5 stars on the App Store. The game is now pay to win to level up or even buy anything. I’m definitely not going to ever come back to this game unless if they actually change it but they won’t they only want the money

GAME BORING ASF
I been playing this game for over 7 years and it have not improved or anything since then. The developers is very money hungry and they don’t even listen to the players. We have limited customization, no height scales, no weight scales, body types is behind a pay wall on dead game and the players is mad boring they just stand there most the time not saying anything. Most the items (especially all the good ones) in the shop is bad and behind a pay currency too btw while the trashy bad items isn’t. We don’t even have voice chat in THE BIG 2026. So new players take my warning and don’t even bother with this dump of a game it ain’t worth the time, energy, and especially money. You will get bored quick playing this and this is coming from an OG player.
Whales only this game just exists to try and steal dumb people’s money don’t be that dummy
Back in my day. When I was in fifth grade, Avakin life was at its prime. 2015 avakin life was THE BEST GAME I ever found on my phone me and my best friend were addicted to playing it we had soo much fun so many good memories. And I loved grinding on the tap joy tasks to get a bunch of money and then buy myself cute clothes and hair. That’s how the game should’ve stayed. Now any of the free money tasks are just a rip off not the same as it was AT ALL you can’t make any money without spending money. And the crowns HOW IS ANYONE STILL PLAYING THIS JOKE OF A GAME WHEN YOU MAKE EVERYTHING COST CROWNS you have to spend $5 actual money just to get 120 crowns and that buys you maybe ONE cute item. It’s RIDICULOUS. I don’t know who on earth is dumb enough to throw that much money on a pointless game. I’m so angry. This game was good. Now it’s a total joke. I hope everyone deletes it and it goes away Avakin needs to just stop being played.
Support is ignoring my tickets
I am writing to report a critical issue with your in-app purchase system where multiple transactions have been charged through Apple but the purchased digital content has not been delivered to my account, some payments remained pending and were later charged while others fail within the app but still appear in the billing system, and in all cases I did not receive the purchased goods, resulting in funds being collected without fulfillment of digital products which raises serious concerns regarding compliance with consumer protection standards and digital transaction regulations, I have attempted to resolve this issue through Apple without success, and if this matter is not resolved promptly I will be forced to escalate the issue through formal complaints to relevant consumer protection authorities and payment regulators, I request immediate resolution either full delivery of all purchased content or a complete refund for all affected transactions, please treat this matter with urgency as I am ready to provide full transaction records upon request.

Cada actualizacion Va De Mal En Peor
ahora con la red Wifi No puedo Entrar al Juego y Varios Ya De Mis Amigos Que entran Atravez del Wifi No Les Deja tampoco
i hate this game
this game hasn’t updated since it came out, did the creators die????
not really playable?
I have been playing this game for 4+ years, enjoying and loving every aspect of it; the daily logins, the prices, etc. Everything about it was good and it actually felt like a game. Though, now all the in-game items had their prices raised profoundly to difficult, and unreachable/unrealistic levels.
Most items that are either new or were limited require an in-game currency that demands you spend a pretty good amount of money on.
It lost its feel of being a game and modified into being more of a poor, lousy, real world online store.
It’s irritating and unjust because now I and many others must play with our dated items and not be able to acquire much else.

The ads are making the game glitch
Eva Kim life used to be so enjoyable but now with the constant ad it’s annoying and it’s making my game glitch and I’m not hearing this complaint from me only
Meh..
This game used to be fun 5-6 years ago, now everything is pay to win. Want any cute clothes? Have to pay IRL money. Want a new house? Have to pay IRL money. And there is barely any actual gameplay content outside of spending money. There’s nothing to do in the game. It’s really sad to see considering barely anyone plays anymore. Why is that? Hmm, maybe because the economy is crashing and games like this are fueling it..Maybe i’ll start playing again if they bring back OG avakin but for now, i’m done.
Used to be better
The houses , furniture and cloths are cool. They got rid of the daily coins you get for logging in, and the daily spin only rewards like 150. Theres almost nothing you can get with the blue gems.
.
Avakin is nothing compared to what it used to be. It's full of bugs that never get fixed, and the password recovery system is completely broken-the reset link never arrives in my Gmail. It’s frustrating to lose access to an account and get zero help from the developers. Don’t waste your time.
Good game but the little things kill it
Get ready for Ads tons of ads! The worst part is when an ad finishes, half the time, it resets the game off center. You have to restart the game to get the screen back. Completely frustrating.
The game has lots of amazing styles and animations for your character but be prepared to spend money if you the newest or most popular looks.
Still had lots of issues with ads! If you’re gonna use your phone be prepared to use the game reload with issues frequently. The ads also force you to other sites with no way to get back to the game without closing out completely.

испортили игру
в 2018-2019 году эта игра была моим всем. сейчас же это просто донатная помойка
Age verification
Been playing for 7+ years, love the game and almost everything about it. YOU NEED TO PAY TO AGE VERIFY. It’s disgusting how money hungry this game is. You can have member ships, I don’t care, but making us pay to verify ones age is insane.
Tá um lixo
Não gostei do jogo não tem brasileiros jogando o jogo foi tomado por gringos, gostava quando era de 2021
