  1. [R5] Hollywood Story® 5/5 · US Good game: This game is really fun. I enjoyed playing. I would say that the energy runs out very fast and the items in this game is high priced, but I love all the different clothing items you can buy and the new areas you unlock the more you play.
  2. [R14] Hollywood Story® 4/5 · US Love this game!: I’ve been playing this game off and on forever and I love it. The drama, the clothes, the style, all of it. The only thing I have a hard time with is the advancement accessibility, you have to have a lot of in game currency at all times, sometimes leading you to spending real money, you also have to wait around a lot. Otherwise it’s fun.
  3. [R28] Hollywood Story® 2/5 · US PLEASE READ: The game will be more funnier if the clothes weren’t that expensive and we can actually pay for items. We need more added to the map. We need more hairstyles etc. its pretty basic and boring but if you add these it’ll be way better.
  4. [R54] Hollywood Story® 3/5 · US Can be better: While this game is fun I feel like it can be better. I’ve been playing it for years now and it’s become repetitive. I feel like it can get new areas or new things.
  5. [R9] Hollywood Story® 3/5 · US mid but cute: on ipad the buttons on the bottom right get in the way of the sliding tasks/friends tab, especially during roll dice events, other than that i play this game every day and i recommend reading the stories cause they get really crazy
  6. [R16] Hollywood Story® 2/5 · US Issues with fb: Let me log into facebook dammit
  7. [R18] Hollywood Story® 3/5 · US Account: I’ve been playing this game on and off for 7+ years! Always the same account under the same email. I’ve tried everything and I can’t restore my account!! I don’t want to start over please fix this! Otherwise it’s 5 stars.
  8. [R22] Hollywood Story® 1/5 · US .: i’ve been playing this game for a while and now it’s not letting me log in with my facebook to get my old game back! i just hate losing all my progress and purchases
  9. [R1] Hollywood Story® 2/5 · US support doesn’t care: i passionately love this game so i’m honestly offended. i’ve put so much effort into this game , but every time i play these giant white boxes are around the pop-ups and i can’t see what im doing. ive probably lost over 50k followers trying to log in and see if its fixed. i’ve updated 5+ times since this issue started. i wrote another review and they said to reach out so i em
  10. [R2] Hollywood Story® 4/5 · US Glitch: When it opens up Holly wood and Beverly Hills my screen turns back and I can not do anything but it was fun while it lasts, it would be great if someone told me how to fix it
  11. [R15] Hollywood Story® 3/5 · US Glitch: I’ve loved this game but the past few months every time I try to play, it shows a black screen and closes the game. Please fix the glitch!!
  12. [R17] Hollywood Story® 4/5 · US I love it but: This game is so amazing but it hasn't been loading This is one of my favorite games but it won't load. It just stops at 100% and crashes. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, please let me know. This just started a couple weeks ago. I checked to see if it needed updating but everything’s been updated. I even tried powering off my iPad, but nothing. I just can’t access the game
  13. [R7] Hollywood Story® 1/5 · US 😡😡😡😡: I just can’t believe! I loved this game so much but why it’s getting worse? Before this, every item in all of the boutiques got 50% off after some hours But now we don’t have 50% off on any item! I will uninstall the app if it continues👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
  14. [R10] Hollywood Story® 2/5 · US overpriced scam: everything in this game is completely overpriced. You cannot move on in the story without spending money. Many of the quest require you to spend diamond, but theres no real way to get diamonds, you can get one or two from playing mini games but other than that its kinda impossible. make the game actually playable.
  15. [R34] Hollywood Story® 1/5 · US New Customer support sucks: The new owners “supercharged” don’t care for their customers and don’t reply to your emails. The game has glitches and their social media platforms admins abandoned the social media platforms. Don’t spend your money or time on this game.
  16. [R45] Hollywood Story® 3/5 · US Game is crashing: I played this game many times and I usually get to my peak and start all over again. But this time when I was starting over and I unlock Manhattan,Hollywood,and the fashion area my screen goes all black.In addition to that everytime a new character comes up their clothes are missing???? I sent out emails and I went to app support and nothings work.
  17. [R76] Fashion Queen 1/5 · US A non-helping support center: I love the game and I’ve been playing it for years since I was 13, but two days ago my account in the game that reached around 374 stars, level 8 and 324 filmed movies have started itself again from level 1 and stars 1 as if I’ve never played ever. When I contacted the support about my problem, the bot support didn’t help me at all. I tried contacting multiple times f
  18. [R4] Hollywood Story® 2/5 · US Love it but…: I have been playing this game for YEARS and I LOVE it but recently I started playing again and they added forced adds that do nothing but waste time i am really sad bc I love this game and now it’s not as fun
  19. [R6] Hollywood Story® 3/5 · US Too many Ads!: I use to love this game and now I’ve redownloaded it to play again. There are waaaaaayyy too many ads now. I can barely click on anything and boom, a ad!
  20. [R8] Hollywood Story® 4/5 · US Game is fun but the ADs are insufferable: I’ve always loved this game since I was a kid and I’m enjoying it so much but the excessive amount of ADs every 3 minutes are ruining the game for me that it’s making me want to stop playing, I understand that ADs are essential and helpful for the developers, so can I suggest adding an in game purchase where I could pay for an AD free version? You could ev
  21. [R12] Hollywood Story® 3/5 · US fun but way too many ads: this game is so much fun but... there is just too many ads for it to stay enjoyable. i remember playing this a few years ago and i thought it was just so much fun. i took a break for about 2 years and came back to this game. but there are so many ads now. even if i want to do a quest or just move around the map, an ad pops up. it makes it less enjoyable when an ad pops up
  22. [R43] Hollywood Story® 1/5 · US Disappointing.: The only reason I bought this game was because the Kim Kardashian game got taken off the app store. Very similar games, but there are soooo. many. issues. If you don’t want to spend money on clothes for your avatar, don’t buy - you won’t progress in the game, it’ll take you FOREVER. if you don’t want frequent ads, don’t buy. If you don’t want to feel very left out of the fun withou
