About the new update and supposed *bug fixes*
Basically everytime I try and make a meeting I could have 20 energy soon as I try and respond back to a AI artist it says I have no energy basically saying I have to pay to get more energy even though I waited all the time then the festivals doesn’t restart every year on my screen it still says 2017 and I have moved onto the year 2019 and still no festival all it says is announcement in 1w.

NEEDS WORK/TOO BUGGY
The app it’s good idea however there’s no options for skin tones or variety in characters, doesn’t allow you to upload your own photo like other Music Star apps and every time I click on something it brings me back to my home screen. The app is very glitchy. That being said the overall concept of the app is a great idea. You get to choose where you want to start in life, social media comments are real, making songs are easy to understand and emails feel real. Just please fix the app.

Please update the game it’s unplayable right now
★★★★★ Adedini001 10/29/2025 v1.2.7
Adding premium isn’t necessary in the game
You could have just added make like energy and other stuff to buy not the premium I’m liking the game but because of that I actually can stop
★★★★★ Kelly Clarkson-BeStar 7/16/2025 v1.2.1
