What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

We've squashed some pesky bugs to improve your playing experience!

Recurring themes

Ads negative
Reviewers consistently complain about the overwhelming number of ads, stating they appear too frequently and interrupt gameplay. Some mention that even after watching an ad to unlock content, it doesn't stay unlocked.R3R10R28R36
Locked Content/Paywalls negative
A major point of frustration is that a significant portion of the game's content, including dances, outfits, and features like the spa or doctor, are locked and require real money or a subscription to access. This makes the free experience feel very limited.R2R4R8R26
Loading/Bugs negative
Many users report the game getting stuck on loading screens, preventing them from playing at all. This issue appears to be widespread and persistent, contradicting the developer's claim of 'squashed some pesky bugs'.R7R9R13R22
Repetitive Gameplay negative
Some reviewers find the game boring or repetitive due to a lack of new dances, features, or a story mode. They feel they are doing the same things over and over.R1R4R37R124
Customization mixed
While players enjoy creating outfits and dances, they often wish for more free options for hairstyles, makeup, and dance moves. Many feel restricted by the limited choices available without payment.R6R44R54R55

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy cheerleading themes, outfit customization, and creating dance routines R6R41. It might appeal to younger players R32 or those seeking a nostalgic experience R38R42. However, it is NOT for players who dislike frequent ads, are unwilling to pay for in-game content, or expect a bug-free experience R10R192.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, focusing on technical issues and monetization. This contrasts sharply with the lifetime rating of 4.68, suggesting a significant decline in user experience over time, possibly due to the lack of updates (last updated 22.2 months ago) and increased monetization or unresolved bugs.

  25. [R214] 3/5 · US Fun game: Super fun and competitive but it has a TON of ads and most of the good stuff you either have to watch an ad or pay REAL money for it and you start out as a girl who is trying out for cheer then you make the team and you get to chose your dance for tryouts but then every other competition and things like that you use the exact same dance EVERY single time and you can’t change it and they
  26. [R183] 2/5 · US DON’T LET YOUR KIDS PLAY: I downloaded this game because I would play it when I was little (I’m a teen) but first of all you have to pay for most things, there’s hardly any stunts, the game glitches a lot, and the ads are really inappropriate especially for like a six year old.
  27. [R252] 3/5 · GB It’s ok: My only thing is the ads there innaprpriate for young kids
  28. [R36] 4/5 · US Really like it!: I really love this game and constantly play it, but it has WAY to many ads and a lot of things you have to buy to have.
  29. [R37] 3/5 · US uhm okay i guess: I wish they could make this game more enjoyable and have more features😬😆
  30. [R44] 4/5 · US Amazing😘🥰📣: This game is perfect but the reason I put 4 stars is because you make to much stuff unusable like the makeup and when we are about to perform you only leave us with 2 choices. But other than that the game. Is perfect!👍🏾📣❤️😘
  31. [R54] 4/5 · US More hairstyles PLS: Don’t like that I only have two hairstyles to access. Still a great game but kind of work on that.
  32. [R55] 5/5 · US Best game ever… but make better: 1. Give more dance moves for free 2. Less adds 3. More makeup Have a good day
  33. [R196] 1/5 · US Worst game ever!: It makes you pay for things you can do on similar apps for free. You literally have to pay ten dollars to unlock clothes and makeup. It’s just really stupid!
  34. [R192] 1/5 · US My daughter is sad because of you: It won’t load so my daughter can not play it anymore please fix also my daughter used to love this game because we didn’t have enough money to do cheerleading and so she played this game
