The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads and the prevalence of in-app purchases, particularly for VIP access. Many players express frustration that essential features and characters are locked behind a paywall, making the game less enjoyable for those unwilling or unable to spend money. While some users appreciate the gameplay, the constant interruptions from ads and the need for subscriptions detract from the overall experience.
“I love this game it's amazing but there are too many in-app purchases. You can't have fun with the game; you only have two characters and not much else.”
“I love this game but I would give it 4 stars because I can't go to the dancing spot and swimming and other spots. There are only 2 members to play with. Please add other members and I loved one thing: no ads!”
“This may have in-app purchases but it is fun without purchasing anything. Besides the in-app purchases, it is an awesome game.”
“This game is wonderful but the problem is about lots of ads and VIP membership. Whenever I tried to do something new, an ad pops up and it lags a lot. Everything is unlocked for VIPs only; you should open things for non-VIPs also. Otherwise, it's super nice because of its controls and everything. I hope you fix this problem soon.”
“Honestly, the worst and best game ever. Normally it's fun at first, but when you play it too long, it gets boring because of the ads and VIP!”
“I love this game, but the problem is that there are too many ads and everything is locked. My daughter can't play this game because of the ads.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players enjoying the catchy tunes and the ability to create music, while others express frustration over limited music options and glitches that disrupt playback. Users frequently mention the desire for more diverse music tracks and the unlocking of additional characters and features related to music, such as dance parties and music rooms, which are often locked behind a paywall. Overall, while the music adds to the fun, the restrictions and technical issues detract from the overall experience.
“I like everything in the game such as moving characters, cooking, dance show, music concert, but I feel that having some stories between characters, having individual rooms to everyone as in the actual Barbie dream house and getting characters by watching series of ads, having dogs farm, other locations such as office, school, locations to enjoy vacations, celebrations on birthdays everything, more costumes to the beginners.”
“I love the adventures of Nikki and Barbie, especially when preparing food for them, when eating together and having fun while listening to music.”
“This game is amazing and the song, if you buy the rocker thing, it's a cool song. I also love all the characters; that's why I'm giving this game five stars because it's so awesome.”
“The music was on and the house just continuously circled around and I couldn't open any of the rooms.”
“Every time I go to Barbie it always freezes, then the music stops. Please fix it, thank you!”
“The game is good but the problem is that we can't use most of the things like nail polish, music band, cupboard, etc.”

The humor in the game is widely appreciated, with many users finding it hilarious and entertaining, particularly for children. Players enjoy the quirky moments, such as characters losing their hair or funny interactions, which contribute to the game's charm. However, some users express frustration over the limitations imposed by VIP access, which can detract from the overall fun experience.
“I love this game because it's so funny and lovely, and the house is beautiful. The clothes are pretty, and you can do everything you want. It's just so much fun!”
“This game is hilarious because sometimes Nikki and Barbie lose their hair, and sometimes they only have a head and legs 😂. When I try to change their dress, they do not get changed 😅.”
“I love this game so much that I won't delete it. It's amazing because it is funny, fun, and Barbie-tastic!”
“This game is awesome and fun to play, but the reason I rated it 4 stars is because we have to pay to unlock and get 150 for the locked stuff, and that's not funny.”
“The humor in this game falls flat; it tries too hard and ends up being cringeworthy instead of funny.”
“I expected a lot of laughs, but the jokes are stale and the comedic timing is off, making it more frustrating than entertaining.”

“To me, this gameplay is amazing.”
“Good graphics and nice gameplay but I wish everything was free and didn't have to pay for some things, but overall it's a really good game.”
“Its so good, the graphics are super 3D, the controls are great, and the gameplay is good!”
“90% or more of the gameplay in this game is locked behind a monthly fee, severely limiting its replayability outside a few hours when initially downloaded.”

Players appreciate the game's potential for creativity and storytelling, enjoying the ability to craft their own narratives with characters and settings. However, many express frustration over the limited number of characters and rooms, as well as the prevalence of ads and paywalls, which detracts from the overall experience. Suggestions for improvement include adding quests, more free characters, and enhancing the storyline to make the game more engaging.
“I love making dramatic stories here. I love it! The only reason I have issues is that it randomly shuts down.”
“I think that it's an amazing app, but you should give us quests to get VIP items and unlock new characters. Let them play with neighbors in the app; having something that's not called VIP will make the app more fun.”
“I love this app because I am a fan of Barbie, and especially it's imaginative as we have to create a story.”
“I would rather have a storyline and get rewards for doing things, not have to buy everything monthly.”
“A little bit of a story would be nice (at least for me).”
“You should give missions to unlock activities and characters; it makes the game more interesting.”

“I cried happy tears and I rate 5 stars.”
“I love Barbie dolls. When I was a little girl, I had to delete this game so I could install new games. I found out that I should install it again. It made me feel sad and made me cry. Whoever made this game should have 10,000,000 dollars. If I met you, I would smile and it would make my day. Please send your address. Love you... I always put five stars for Barbie ❤❤ oh and keep getting lots of five stars.”
