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
NO MORE UPDATES??????
announced a subscription and dipped. i've spent so much on this game & i feel like i was cheated out of a monthly subscription.
Account Deleted
You guys literally took my account and won’t respond or give it back I do not recommend putting time into this game ! if there is a problem no one will respond
8 dollars a month
8 dollars a month and the label doesn’t even work, their contract expires after you perform an action
Took my money
I purchased a package to get rid of the ads for 8.99 and it worked all the way up till today now it’s back to showing me ads. It’s a one star until I can rectify this issue
Not good
Use to like this game and the updates but now it bugs every time I try to tour and check social media. Also almost to the point that tours show no progress and all labels dislike you and refuse to market anything. So now this game is no good and will be removing from my device.
What happened? 👎🏾
Back in June and July this game was no doubt a 5 star tier game worth paying for, but now this game crashes all the time and I had to give up on it. Hopefully nobody is buying any power ups. Getting signed to a label is overly difficult and it shouldn’t be. One of the most disappointing mobile games of 2025. Smh
Dumb Game
This Game is Simply unplayable
Monthly $?
Why does ad free mode require 8$ a MONTH. I would rather take a one time 20-30$ payment. A monthly fee is a scam.
Money hungry bums
9 dollars a month just to have no ads??? Bro you need to have the most luck possible to f2p this game and even if you use money it still is hard to manage. One of the quest to advance from the second level involves you to bring an award ceremony even tho you probably have less than 500 k people streaming you a month. Why does nobody want to have a feature with me? This scheme of a game is not about having fun it just gets worse every second possible. My best career didn’t have a record label deal until I already made 100 Million dollars. You could be popping off with an album yet not have a single sell for clothing??? My best run required tons of ads just to gain enough money to make a single ep. This game is money hungry with no intention on letting you have fun. Game deserves to be gone and once it is the world will rejoice. I wish I could put a zero star on it.
Too hard
Game is too difficult to achieve things..I think it’s set up for you to just spend money
Greedy And Bugs
I like this game but the bugs and the very greedy 9$ a month subscription is just crazy bro :also one of the bugs makes it so you don’t get label xp after 330 nice job making people pay for a broken feature
Monthly Membership
Greed
Really?
Hiding most of the useful features of the game behind a $9/mo. subscription is such a joke. Game is a money grab.
Kinda dumb health feature
Can u guys remove the feature where your health depletes and the only way you can get it back up is if you relax or go on holiday for weeks at a time? Makes the game really hard to like
Frustrating Experience Lost Progress and In Game Currency
I’m honestly a bit upset. The game itself is fun, but I encountered a major issue. I had $1 million in game, which I spent to record an album. Right after that, the app unexpectedly closed. When I reopened it, the album was completely gone as if I never recorded it but the $1 million I spent was not refunded.
So essentially, the game took my money, erased my progress, and left me with nothing to show for it. Now I have to start all over again and grind to earn that money back just to re record the same album. It’s incredibly frustrating, especially considering how difficult it is to make that kind of in game money in the first place. This really needs to be fixed.

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
Non-functional game
These days this game isn’t even playable. Crashes every 5-10 minutes , Changes my character’s appearance everytime i log off, etc. still haven’t heard from anyone regarding these issues. Dont bother downloading
Your own label not working well
I liked the idea of owning your own label like many artist do and release their own music thru it. It's cool but for some reason when I'm signed to my OWN label I don't make money on tours. It's dumb. There should be more features for my artist to do on his own label like promote music thru it or something. But not being able to make money off tours when I'm signed is what's killing it.
pay to win
it was cool but now you have to pay for almost everything, its like a pay to win
rockstar+ bug
I have the rockstar+ but ITS NOT EVEN LETTING ME USE THE ROCKSTAR+ anymore YES I have it YES everytime I click the label button it says MANAGE SUBSCRIPTION and it says I already have it but its not letting me do anything Help? Please? u know I have been playing this game for years not once did i ever tjink i wanted to uninstall 😔 but im starting to think i should
Stop paywalling
Every update behind a paywall
Buggy
good idea just extremely buggy. had to close the app like 50 times cause i keep getting stuck in infinite loading screens and never ending ads.
Can’t record new album
Love the game but just lags out and won’t finish loading when I try to record a new album
