Don't waste your time.
To make a long story short... Devs suck, support sucks, game sucks, story sucks, events suck, cards suck, new 5 star cards added for absolutely no reason... It fell off. The best advice I can give is to go play Project Sekai if you're looking for a new rhythm game.

Internet Connection Timed Out! Please Fix!
Been enjoying Bang Dream for five years now and suddenly the game won’t let me play. I’ve been getting this Connection Timed Out pop up every time I try and login. I’ve restarted my router, restarted my phone and the only way I can login is through turning off my internet on my phone. Please fix! I love this app and wanna keep playing.

★★★★ supercat61810 6/15/2025 v7.6.1
Low budget copy of project seki colorful stage 😡
Literally has the same photos as in project seki just with their characters for the loading screen 😡 and even copied a lot of its set up and the graphics feel soo low budget! It was lagging soooo much when I played it on low graphics and a decent speed and if you want a higher quality less laggy version on this just play project seki this is literally just a copy 😡
★★★★ Alondruhhhh 6/8/2025 v7.6.1
Download problems (?)
Everytime I try to open the app and download the necessary things since I barely got it, it keeps kicking me out when it shows the different screens of bands and it’s barely downloading at 0%. Why??
★★★★ Froggy_mushroom 6/7/2025 v7.6.1
Pjsk rip off
This game is such a rip off from the characters and groups to even stealing the songs from the game

Ridiculous rip off of pjsk
I’ve seen a lot of project sekai ripoffs in my life but this is the worst one.I mean COME ON even the characters and groups are stupider versions of the characters and groups on PJSK.Especially the Leo/need ripoff with the childhood friends thing.I CANNOT BELIEVE PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE THIS GAME.Fans,please look up project sekai and realize how much of a ripoff this banG game is.ITS SOOOOOOOOOOOO DUMB AND TERRIBLE.WFUTFCTHFCYUFFTURYTRFTUFRRTED&&&&€€€€€££¥[[

Fix this game.
Since the 6th anniversary, there has been an awful, disgusting glitch. Its now saying that Kanon and Chisato are roommates??? 🤬🤬 And this an extreme glitch, because there’s even CARDS regarding this error. I found out that Kaoru was originally going to be chisatos roomie but because of the glitch, The story is now all wonky. The glitch was at its peak earlier this year when chisatos dreamfest card (not released on this server yet as of 11/30/24) had CHISATO SLEEPING ON KANON 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Like how is that legal. Bushiroad please fix this error, thank you very much. #KAOCHISAFOREVER 💛💜💛💜💛💜

helpppp
i haven’t been able to play a free live in months i sent multiple emails and nothing..
★★★★ Zero814 10/15/2024 v7.6.0
Game is actively hindering players maliciously
I don’t know why but every time near the end of an event, when I am trying to get a few more points to get a higher tier rank, the game constantly disconnects my connection every time to stop me. It flags me for it and puts a timer on me to prevent me from getting anymore points, stalling until the event is over. This is completely messed up in all ways.
★★★★★ Rainbow dash 5555 10/1/2025 v8.4.0
It doesn’t load
I like it, but it just doesn’t load I don’t know. I’ve been waiting for some seconds and it did not continue so this is a two star review.
★★★★★ Coco1Rice 5/13/2025 v7.6.1
New Update Causes Game to Crash
I have been playing this game for years now and I love the game! The only thing is after this new update, it has been crashing and failing to load to which it will send me back to the title again. It gets frustrating when I’m trying to load into a multi-live or doing an event. Please fix this
★★★★★ Your_Ame 3/17/2025 v7.6.1
I’m a Project Sekai Player so this is much harder
I would say the overall hardest is actually being able to clear a song. The notes are much smaller than Project Sekai’s, I even tried making the notes look like the ones I had in Pjsekai so it would be a little easier, but I was wrong :(. The game itself is amazing and the cards are very cool. I just can’t figure out how to play it well
★★★★★ AnnBatt 3/14/2025 v7.6.1
Poor support
I had an issue with my game not playing and getting an error code every time I try to start actually playing the game modes. Reached out months getting the response they would work on it but they stopped responding to me. The game is fine when you can actually play it but the support is not good.
