LIKE WHAT?!
I used to love this game, I played all the time I’ve been here since early development of this game. But recently, I bought something off the store. Did not get it!! It was a complete rip off. I emailed them never got an email back. Now I’ve been in a game that I’ve been playing for almost 2 hours now and now my game is bugged and my money wont move. So after hours of building my career up, now I can only spend money and lose it and not gain money because the game is bugged. Customer support has been no help.
Irritating
This game looked fun, and looked entertaining. But it is entirely too hard to gain popularity, it’s unrealistic with gaining money because there is no side job option, the health and happiness decay to fast, and it’s ultimately a very irritating play. If it were more like in between bitlifes fame system, and the real life fame system it could be better.
Bug
Le jeux bug toujours et le jeux n’est pas accessible pour un pauvre dommage que le jeux est devenu ennuyant c 2 derniers années
literally unplayable
.
Glitchy and hard to progress
This game is hard to progress in. It glitches if you post a tweet during writing a song or touring. It puts you in debt when you pay for recording fees. When you get featured on a song it automatically features you and you don’t get paid. Your streams can go from 1mil to 5k very fast(exaggeration but still true). It’s hard to gain popularity and there is no way to get unbanned from streaming sits also there is no good ultimatum for speaking out against a streaming platform.(You get banned from the platform and you loose all your streams and there is no way to appeal. Overall this game is hard glitchy and a waste of time.
Wooow
I have played the game since 2023, and while it traditionally crashes after a certain amount of time, I have pushed it to the side because I genuinely love this game. But just now, I had 2.8 million dollars saved up to record and produce songs worth 2.763 million dollars for my next album, then after I selected it, it put me 2.7 million dollars in debt? Now I can't release anything? Can't make any money? All I can do is watch ads to earn $10,000 dollars. Guess I'll have to watch hours of ads to enjoy my favorite game🤨
This game is slow now
I don’t know what it is but this was my favorite game I have spent so much money on it , now it doesn’t let you level up it freezes been playing for 2 years now it’s makes me mad all the money I have spent on it doesn’t even matter I’m so mad I think it’s the update but it’s so sad that I have to write this the game crashes every 3 minutes
BUGS!!!!!! 2026 MAY
So many BUGGS!!!
The game is great but the bugs ruin it. I don’t know what everyone else situation is but it’s gotten so bad that I can’t even release songs cause the pop up release mode thing is so big lol. Ok that might not of made sense but the but you know the pop up screen you get when you release songs/albums/ EPs well it’s so zoomed in to the point where I can’t click the next button to release ANYTHING!!! Also, I think the developer[s] should fix the monthly listeners on stremify. I think it’s weird that one week you can have 100million+ monthly listeners and then three weeks later you have 17 million. I mean I know the game isn’t 100% realistic but in real life singers on that platform can go years with only minor drops in monthly listeners (not substantial declines within a few months. I also think there should be relationships in the game between artists. I know in other music simulation games you can have family’s and children to have generations of musicians. ALSO, when you are starting off in the game as unknown it’s actually 99.99% Impossible to get above 3. Like it dosent make sense I am considered a local celebrity when I have a diamond album and five diamond songs. And yet no label or manager wants to sign a contract with my character. It’s kinda confusing and there’s a ton of other issues too but those were the biggest of my concern.

Sucks
It was a great game that felt accomplishing when you actually make it. Now there’s this stupid bug that whenever you record a song, it puts you in debt, even if you have more than enough money! I spent three hours watching ads so I could get from negative $600,000 to $3.6 million just for it to put me right back in debt! Do not recommend this game at all unless they fix this bug and give me my in game money back.
double charged and no subscription benefits
double charged my card buying the subscription and i can’t make labels or anything
This game is a scam
Scam it’s basically a scam . U can get in debt fast . No good system structure! The best features are paid and it’s a paid to win game. This game started as a good game then became a money grab there are bugs into the game we u delete the game nothing saves. Even when u login to there settings thing.
Glitch
Bro I can’t do nun in this game cuz it keeps flashin and nothing works at all??? If I had epilepsy I would legit be in the hospital rn fix the glitch
It was better before…
Terrible optimization Tons of bugs, despite the game being several years old Unable to watch ads No beginner's guide What annoys me most is when you get banned from a music platform without warning I'm disappointed in you. The developers could try harder for their players instead of just introducing tons of donations
Declined
I use to play to game everyday for hours, now the game is literally impossible to play. They have made it 10x harder to gain popularity and practically have to grind the game to gain anything which is ridiculous. They clearly made it this way so you can buy in app purchases. They add features that nobody asked for and never fix past ones. The game is always buggy. Sadly won’t be playing until they fix this mess 💔
Buggiest Game Ever
This is the buggiest game I ever played from
the App Store. The game is constantly crashing and freezing, resulting in major gameplay bugs like poor studio recording quality due to the game crashing or an undeserved flop era because you released an album and single the same day and the album gets a 0 review average when the single is reviewed normally. I paid $8.99 for the membership and I feel totally scammed based on the state of the game and there being no recourse in fixing your save when these major devastating bugs affect your save. You are stuck with the result of the bug for as long as you play that save even if it gets fixed in the future. Save your money and don’t buy a membership it isn’t worth it.

updates
you say you update to fix bugs yet nothing is fixed! i reinstalled to see if it was fixed and it wasn’t!! still get errors when recording songs songwriters that are ’’not even there’’ and makes me miss a whole week for nothing! and the social media app still makes freezes and crashes my phone and i go on tour my game crashes can’t do anything without the game breaking and having to restart because it freezes and i have to restart it then all my work gets reset or while im on tour and it crashes and i open the app again im not on tour anymore so i can’t even make anymore money almost everything makes it stop working and crash also you can’t even make money because it takes so long to record an album by the time its done you’re already in debt so what exactly are you even ‘’fixing’’ the game not fixed because it crashes every 5 minutes and i recorded a demo and guess what? my game crashed bad devs this game has potential but not with this many bugs and mistakes that you can’t even fix right do better i’m not wasting anymore time on this maybe you will actually fix it one day and it will ACTUALLY work without crashes every 5 damn minutes this is just unplayable and yes i’ve played on MULTIPLE phones to test this and they BOTH did the exact same thing you ruined potential smh you really could’ve made something great
Stop fixing things that aren’t broken
The new update is a good concept, but it made the game completely unplayable. If I could give the game zero stars right now I would.
Pay to win
Game is just pay to win. Doesnt fix any bugs
Bad upgrade
Every song I release has 0 ratings. I thought it was a glitch, so I deleted my save, but then I saw it again. My money is gone after spending it to buy a subscription and everything available. FIX this please
?
Hi, ANNOYED I’VE BEEN PAYING MONTHLY FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW… STILL NO UPDATES TO ANY LABEL FUNCTIONS BUT I LOSE MY PROGRESS IF I DON’T PAY. CAN WE AT LEAST GET THE LABEL BUGS FIXED… I CAN HAVE LIKE 10 ARTISTS BUT CANT SCROLL PAST THEM. IT’D BE DOPE TO ACTUALLY UPGRADE THE ARTISTS AND GET ALL THE STUFF THATS LOCKED ON IT UNLOCKED. JUST SAYING.
In app purchases
Game started off fun, and still is pretty much, but there is too much bugs and I have bought things on the game that I never received.
LAG
fix the lag please im on a great phone and im lagging..
Shame
This game used to work so smooth and perfectly but the creators decided to add so many new features it’s really frustrating now. There are ads every 25 seconds, and the only way to get rid of them is to pay for $8. This is interesting because I wonder if that even works or not, since the screen to purchase cash is completely unusable. You can click purchase and it never prompts you to pay and you never receive the cash. It’s ridiculous because they’re losing out on money for their own game. I miss the way it was years ago. It worked totally fine.
Please fix!🙏🏽
Please fix the UI issue on iPad, I love this game but I can no longer play because of the messed up formatting after the new update.
Keep freezing and jumping out
Wish for a better update
