Covet Fashion vs Love Nikki-Dress UP Queen
Love Nikki-Dress UP Queen has a slight edge due to its consistent art style and engaging story, despite both games facing significant user complaints regarding monetization and technical issues.
Covet Fashion, once known for real designer brands, has seen a decline in recent years due to a shift to generic 'Covet Basics' and AI-generated content, coupled with numerous technical glitches. Love Nikki-Dress UP Queen maintains its distinct anime art style and storyline but is heavily criticized for aggressive monetization and persistent bugs, particularly affecting new users and account access.

- [R1] Covet Fashion The update: I hate the update when you removed being able to choose your own height and body shape. I have removed the game completely due to that, the model just seems generic. Is there a way to bring that back since I did not receive a response to this.
- [R3] Covet Fashion Declining: The game used to include high end fashion designs. Now the developers are only interested in making bank. Everything is Covet brand. The game glitches all the time without real customer support. They leave a canned response like, we know this challenge is not working and while we work on it, use up (or pay for) your banked or additional resources, we fix it when we fix it. Many challenge
- [R6] Covet Fashion Miss the Designer Brands: I started this game in 2020, and though it tends to push political and social narratives which is a detractor for me, I loved the access to real designer brands with the mix of the Covet creativity. It’s disappointing that the Designer brands have been replaced with “overpriced” AI generated fluff. I essentially only play it now when something really piques my interest.
- [R9] Covet Fashion Want more fun prop sets: I am a top player. I still like the game despite the glitches and no longer working with real clothing designers. Please provide a search option for overskirts and masks and other defined accessories, as well as the ability to favorite clothing items. We have not had a prop set challenge that included a fierce animal (adult lion for example) in years. Getting tired of t
- [R2] Covet Fashion Love the game but…: I love this game. I’ve probably been playing that since 2016 or 2017. I feel like the game can definitely improve. I think getting results for the entries take way too long. It’s like a day later to get the results. Redecor game I have that has a similar voting feature cut down the result time. Voting lasts like 10 mins which is great and you can redesign the same room multiple
- [R4] Covet Fashion Crashed: The game is crashed for one week and the sport center not responding
- [R7] Covet Fashion Unfortunately..: Update: I’m going to give it an extra star from last time. But the low rating is due to 1. I’ve previously owned certain clothing items and have used them in challenges, but as of recently I can no longer find these items in my closet. I’ve noticed they’ve re appeared on the shopping cart and the looks I made with these specific items are no longer in my look book profile. I’ve re
- [R8] Covet Fashion Long time player: I've been playing for years now, and I love this game. But I only love it when I can participate in the challenges. They've made it hard to participate because a lot of them require for you to use your diamonds for the required purchases. I wish there was more of a balance between spending cash and diamonds in order to participate in the challenges. Not to mention, it's crazy the
- [R11] Covet Fashion Fun but pricey items!!!: I have been playing this game off and on since 2017. Overall, I think it’s a great game. The themes are all unique and interesting, and the voting seems fair. The one complaint I have about this game is how expensive different garments are. You get cash more frequently in the game than gems, which you can use to purchase new garments. However, a vast majority of garments c
- [R14] Covet Fashion BEST GAME EVER!!!: I love this game! You can play without spending real money and there is no adds. When something wrong happens costumer service is amazing and helps you out. It is also a game where you don’t have to worry about mindlessly wasting your time. Highly recommend!
- [R17] Covet Fashion Best fashion game ever! 😄😀😃😁😁👍💯🫶: I love this game and I think it is amazing! I love how I can style the girls and it doesn't take too long, or feel too short. If you are looking for a design game with no ads or free trials then this is the game! · translated
- [R10] Covet Fashion sad :(: I love love love the game but one day I was given an error saying “mismatch data” and have never been able to get back in since even after emailing for help.
- [R36] Covet Fashion Out with the fun In with the money grab: I used to love this game, and while I haven’t consistently had it for years I’ve been playing on and off since 2018. This was one of my first downloads when I would want to design outfits and I would come across and spend hours every week playing. Sure by paying money you could absolutely get ahead but you used to be able to play the game and not get behi
- [R70] Love Nikki-Dress UP Queen money eater scam: it takes $6,000 to complete the game (meaning unlock all of the clothes). that is absolutely ridiculous. i paid $100 to try to advance in the game and i barely got anywhere. i want my money back.
- [R82] Love Nikki-Dress UP Queen So expensive: if you can’t buy diamonds (Which are SOOO much money) then you can’t even get event suits unless you save up for literal months and even if you do buy diamonds, you need to buy sooo much (it’s $100 for 6300 diamonds, which on most events barely finishes it if it does). i’ve spent so much time trying to get diamonds and it’s impossible to get enough for an event without buying them. i
- [R12] Covet Fashion Levels take forever: I agree with Jen038, the game is really fun and I’ve been playing forever, but lately I can only buy Covet designed clothes and they’re not pretty or stylish. I agree when she said that we were losing plenty of designers. The game was fun bc u could mix and combine different brands and styles, now I don’t feel it any more. Can the game creators pls listen to us????
- [R28] Covet Fashion Used to really love this game: I remember playing this game every day with my cousin in the first few years it came out. I continued to play it off and on for years. I redownloaded it a couple days ago and… what is going on?? What’s with all the generative AI stealing work from real designers and artists? Where are the actual real designers and art?! Why are there HUNDREDS of “covet basics” cloth
- [R26] Covet Fashion Covet not working AT ALL.: Glitching and says there’s an error, even after redownloading over and over.
- [R40] Covet Fashion Game no longer accessible: I can no longer access this game, I used to play daily. Not sure what is going on with the app but I don’t appear to be the only one experiencing this issue. All I get is pop-ups saying “refresh” or “restart” but they do nothing. A shame as I used to enjoy playing.
