I’ve played for years off and on, it’s pretty fun to dress up and trade items. Love the surveys they offer to get gold. It’s nice there’s another option other than buying gold.

  8. [R22] Highrise 1/5 · US FULL OF BUGS: How many updates this game needs before fixing the already existing bugs?
  9. [R4] Highrise 1/5 · US Terrible app: Terrible app filled with terrible people whoever owns it is money hungry. They constantly delete bad reviews and write fake reviews. Half of the five star reviews are fake. If you don’t spend money on this game, no one will talk to you. You won’t have any sort of social interaction you can’t event if you don’t spend money you won’t be on top. Everything that comes out as a account bo

  11. [R12] Highrise 3/5 · US Constant ad problems: The only normal way to earn gold is by watching ads. And as always, there are never any ads available. · translated
  12. [R13] Highrise 1/5 · US MAKE SOME CHANGES: This used to be my favorite game and its starting to not be anymore because yall (hr ppl) are greedy asf. It’s hard to get good stuff from grabs, the grabs is expensive asf like 200-300g for ONE spin is insane and 2,000-3,000g for 10 spins is not worth it! And on top of that you keep getting the same thing! And they do that so you can spend hella money on the game as if they don
  13. [R1] Highrise 1/5 · US Banned after being Harassed!: After 8 months of continuous harassment by users both this platform and their discord, I was banned for finally reacting! For 8 months I faced doxxing, harassment, rumors, witch hunting. I made over 50 different reports to their trust & safety team (Which has been an absolute joke since 2023/2024) about being called racial slurs, A PDF, my socials and personal addre
  14. [R10] Highrise 1/5 · US Rott in H 3 L L H I G H R I S E: Spent over $5,000 on this game. Banned my account. Won’t let me get it back. Been 3 years I’m still pssd about it. All my hard working money gone. Anyways after being banned it taught me to live a real life & to spend on my real life and not on a video game. I now play awesome games like Sims and Call of Duty without spending a penny and have made amazing friends t
  15. [R18] Highrise 3/5 · US Addicting should be 18+: Adult friendly not kid friendly. I hope they lower gold prices and up grab odd
  16. [R30] Highrise 3/5 · US It's ok •᷄‎ࡇ•᷅: I really like it but people always kick me out!!! Idk why!! Is it my avatar? If u play this my user is livicats. Also I know I'm a teen but stuff with bo*bs...yeah not me. Also people ask me for dates I always say no I wanna be single broooooo
  17. [R7] Highrise 1/5 · US Money Scheme - bad support: I previously reviewed this game saying things I enjoyed about it and what I did. After 7 years of being a player I can tell you that the admin, owners, whoever do not value you as a player, customer or consumer. They do not care how much money you spent, or your experience as a user. You are another one of the thousands playing to them. Support will not go out of th
  18. [R16] Highrise 1/5 · US Terrible support: My account was hacked. I wrote everywhere, to support on all social networks. Two years later, there's still no reply. They're just incompetent. Fix this game's security properly. · translated
  19. [R36] Highrise 3/5 · US 18+: This app should not be marketed for children. There are very explicit items in game that anyone playing can access.
  20. [R46] Highrise 2/5 · US Coins problem and boring: I’m trying to earn coins through the RevU website and none of the offers have been completed despite the apps and offers I’m doing, confirming I’ve done what’s been asked. Also lowkey boring, not fun like it used to be in 2024. Only gave 3 stars bc most people seem chill on the app plus nostalgia.
  21. [R58] Highrise 1/5 · US Horrible: EDIT: I appreciate the author responding, while they did fix some issues like the threads issue, there still is more that is an issue. They are slowly taking away offers that players use to get gold and making this game all about spending money. If you have money to burn this is the game for you. If you want a casual and fun game keep looking. I think it’s time I quit. I don’t even k
  22. [R65] Dress Up Stylist- Fashion Game 4/5 · US To much adds: To much adds for me but love the game tho
