Recent reviews for Gacha Club highlight a severe and widespread bug where character creations and game progress are not saved, often resetting after closing the app. While some users still appreciate the creative aspects, the persistent data loss issue makes the game frustrating and unusable for a significant portion of its player base. The developer has not updated the app in over 34 months, leading to user frustration and a perceived lack of support.

Latest update · v4.0

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

Minor bugs fixed

Recurring themes

Data Loss negative
The most significant and pervasive issue is the game's failure to save user progress, characters, and levels. Many users report losing hours of work, with the game resetting to its initial state or an older save upon closing the app or after a short period. This bug renders the game unplayable for many and directly contradicts the developer's vague 'minor bugs fixed' update notes. This issue has been reported for years and across multiple devices.R1R2R3R5
Lack of Updates/Support negative
Users express frustration over the lack of developer attention to Gacha Club, especially given the release of Gacha Life 2. Many feel the game has been abandoned, with critical bugs persisting for years without resolution. The 'minor bugs fixed' update is seen as insufficient or misleading by users still experiencing major issues.R2R14R39R40
Export/Import Issues negative
Beyond general data saving, specific features like importing and exporting character codes are reported to be broken. Users who reach the required level 5 still find these functions unusable, preventing them from sharing or backing up their creations.R5R35R40R44
Intrusive Ads negative
Some users complain about the frequency and placement of ads, particularly after leaving certain game modes, which disrupts the gameplay experience.R55R61R66

Who it's for

This app is for creative individuals who enjoy designing characters and making stories, skits, or role-play, but only if they are willing to contend with severe data-saving issues or find a workaround R63R61. It is not for users who expect reliable progress saving or active developer support R40R57.

Evidence note: The evidence for data loss and lack of saving is overwhelming and consistent across nearly all recent reviews. Evidence for other issues like export/import problems, ads, and crashes is also strong, though less frequent than the primary saving bug. Positive aspects are mentioned, but often overshadowed by the core issues.

  1. [R12] 5/5 · CA It’s cool: Thank you I can’t even make video with it. Thank you my goodness.
  2. [R15] 4/5 · CA I love this game but update it please: This game is really fun and nice to create but when ever I use it and create something or do anything and I close the app it resets it, it’s not just on one device it’s on another one. Please fix this
  3. [R36] 5/5 · CA A !maz !inggg!: Amazing app. Thank you for this. I love how it has a gacha battle which is cool great work!😊😊😊
  4. [R63] 4/5 · AU My characters don’t save: I love gacha club and I really enjoy making small stories and stuff but each time I make a character it just doesn’t save and it gets really annoying like if I close the app then enter it again all my characters get deleted hopefully the creator of gacha club Lunime can fix this problem. Overall it’s a great app and I do recommend to anyone who likes making stories,skits
  5. [R5] 2/5 · CA 😭😭: I used to love this game! but now nothing saves all my characters delete every time I go out of the app, and the import and exporting doesn’t even work! I got all the way to level 5 for nothing. AND the offline codes don’t work either.. and guess what I can’t get gl2 because my device is to old! so I have to keep this piece of junk. I might just switch to gacha life.
  6. [R6] 1/5 · CA FIX IT AND LITSEN: SO I SAVED MY HARD WORK SEEMS THAT IT WORKED THEN WHEN I RESTART THE APP ITS GONE
  7. [R7] 2/5 · CA Great but…: I just started playing and I worked very hard on a character and then I got kicked out and it deleted everything please fix this bug
  8. [R13] 3/5 · CA Please make it save.: I spent 5 hours making my characters and then I come back to it an hour later just to find out that it deleted…I’m not hating I swear I love the game I was just disappointed that I didn’t get my characters back.
  9. [R35] 1/5 · CA UGHHH: Won’t let me export.
  10. [R40] 1/5 · CA Game sucks and game dev won’t even fix it: This game sucks. It has a bug where it won’t save and the game dev is refusing to fix it. It makes the game unplayable. Also to export and import you have to get to level 5 and that takes ages and when you finally get to leaves 5 and try to export it will tell you the feature is down.
  11. [R44] 4/5 · CA Luni how do I transfer data?!: I have tried many time please put clear instructions on how
  12. [R47] 3/5 · CA It keeps resetting: I love this app, and I I just downloaded this after years of not playing, but every time I leave the app for too long it deletes my progress and takes me through the tutorial I went through the first time I opened it. I try to export my characters but that doesn’t work either. Please fix this.
  13. [R56] 5/5 · AU Idk know if this is a glitch or what: Hai!!! So I love this game so much but like every time I I get on it it has deleted everything and it makes me do all the same things when u get it and I’m kinda getting annoyed with it but not you guys it’s just that :) bye!!!
  14. [R59] 2/5 · AU A very annoying glitch: So i absolutely love this game but every time i go back in i have to verify my age so i do that and do the other stuff but it resets my characters and I don’t have my oc’s
  15. [R67] 3/5 · AU It’s great but.. there’s one thing.: Hi Luni! This isn’t really a complaint but there’s a REALL hard bug in this game. Whenever I get out of the game and take a break after creating characters, it’s normal! Till I come back in and IM STARTING THE ENTIRE GAME OVER AND OVER AGAIN! UP TO MY LATEST SAVE! It’s really bugging me for years, last time i downloaded this, I was making a story, and unfortuna
  16. [R54] 4/5 · AU Leaving the game: Hello I love this game but have been experiencing heaps of issues including game crashes deleted characters and missing levels that I have received in the past. If you could may you fix the major bugs that are affecting the game time or not working properly thank you again but I really hope you solve this issue as it has happened to me today I have recently made a character but i
  17. [R57] 4/5 · AU What happened??: At first when I played this game (~2022) I had no problems! But my characters keep on deleting when I leave the app, I joined again this year but it just keeps on crashing! Please fix this, I know you’re fixed on gl2 but, seriously. We need a bug fix
  18. [R55] 2/5 · AU Really annoying: I used to play all of the Gacha games all the time, but I grew up, I was about nine and I am now 15. The ads are horrendous and every time I leave the movie maker and go back to the character creation there’s ads that play EVERY SINGLE TIME WITHOUT FAIL! I am quite sad about this because it dampens my time playing the game with a hundred ads. I miss when there were less ads.
  19. [R61] 5/5 · AU The character reset: PROBLEM: Whenever I close this app straight after doing something, it resets what i’ve done to when I first opened the app. I have found a solution! THE SOLUTION: before closing the app, press “watch add” on the left, watch the add, then receive the prize and click close, then immediately close the app, and open it again, then close it. sorry if it doesn’t work! PS. the adds
  20. [R66] 4/5 · AU Meh: It was nice but if I didn’t watch a add it would’ve reset all my characters and I had to watch only two ads and if I use them both I cannot make any more characters. It’s kind of weird.
  21. [R41] 2/5 · CA WOMT SAVE: Deleted my progress of 6 characters after I left the app for more than a couple minutes! CANT DO ANYTHING CSUDE IT WONT SAVE. Also no skin tones for clothing but all browns are available?? 👩🏽👩🏾👩🏿 brown is a skin tone.
  22. [R98] 2/5 · AU Please add these back (+ a few complaints): Ok so I wanted to make a character and I wanted to give them brown skin. WHERE'S THE COLOUR BROWN GONE TO?! IT'S ONLY IN SKIN OUTLINE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please add brown back. Most of my characters are brown and also.. There's a weird glitch where I can't save my character. I see you fixed the old one but now they don't change at all. Fix that too please!
  23. [R90] 3/5 · AU Needs serious improvement: Luni, all your users are turning against you. The reviews don’t lie about your destruction. Why are you turning everyone against you? I don’t get it. If you don’t believe me, go take a look at your comments. I’m not here to start a riot, but the others will. It isn’t long before App Store notices. Please improve the following:your profile speech can only be 12 characters
  24. [R1] 4/5 · CA Data wipe..: Good but it deletes if you don’t spend an extended amount of time clicking around on the model
  25. [R2] 4/5 · CA A little sad: I was just making one of my most favourite characters from a game, and then I left the app and it was all reset and he was gone, I understand you have now moved on to a new game called Gacha life 2…but for the people who still use Gacha club I would love if you could try to fix it!
  26. [R3] 3/5 · CA Half stars: Never saves
  27. [R14] 2/5 · CA Good gameplay with an incredibly frustrating glitch: it's a great game but after years there's still a terrible glitch where it won't save your progress on customizing characters after closing the game, it's really frustrating to loose hours of progress every time i want to use this gacha game i know gl2 is out and it takes all the dev's time now but that doesn't mean this app should stay unusable
  28. [R39] 2/5 · CA Fix it pls dawg: 5 years later the wipe thing is still happening, if I close out of the app completely everything resets. Cmon man
  29. [R20] 1/5 · CA What the actual hell: I spent HOURS making my oc’s just for me to open the app in the morning and all of it is gone
  30. [R60] 3/5 · AU Good and BAD things..: APART FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO EXPORTT OC CODES… And the glitches that restart my characters….. I love Gacha club just some advice is pls pls fix ur glitches and Pls help me export my oc’s it’s so annoying I can’t!! 😭
