The stability of the game is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of glitches, crashes, and freezing issues that severely impact gameplay. Many players express frustration over the lack of effective customer support and the slow response to fixing these problems, leading to a diminished gaming experience.

“But otherwise, great game with little to no glitches and completely free; mostly recommended.”
“No glitches.”
“The game constantly glitches and reloads.”
“I'm generally a very patient person and tend to overlook bugs, but this game glitches all the time, to the point where it's just annoying rather than enjoyable.”
“I have been playing this game since 2016, there's no other game like it in fashion but unfortunately the company keeps ignoring the customers, we send tickets to get issues fixed, completely ignored, they close it without any solutions, the game is constantly crashing, several times a week, major glitches with the pixels, the models appear without clothing, etc.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the high costs of in-app purchases, which are often seen as necessary to progress and enjoy the game fully. While some users appreciate the absence of intrusive ads and the ability to earn currency through optional ad views, others feel that the limited rewards from watching ads and the overall pricing structure create a "pay-to-win" environment, making it difficult for non-paying players to compete. Overall, the game is perceived by many as a cash grab, with calls for better balance in monetization practices.
“Although there are in-app purchases available, it's not necessary to use these to progress in the game.”
“You can play the game without buying anything, and there are no ads, but it doesn't give you a lot of money to work with.”
“Fun game, lots to do for free if you don't want to make in-app purchases, also ways to earn in-app currency.”
“It's a total ripoff with in-app purchases, and you really need to take out a bank loan to play it.”
“This game is a money trap; at every turn, you have to purchase just to keep going. It's not just a couple of dollars; it's tens and twenties. It's crazy! I don't mind spending every now and then, but this game is all about in-app purchases.”
“The game is basically an advertisement all on its own, so I don't get this. It's just another obvious cash grab; it's impossible to earn enough cash to actually play without having to spend $5 or more on each outfit.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly due to the lack of efficient systems for earning in-game currency and the necessity of repeated tasks to progress.

While some players appreciate the game's focus on dress-up without convoluted plots, the overall sentiment is that the grinding can detract from the enjoyment of gameplay.
“Great dress-up game that's 100% focused on dress-up, with no strange convoluted plot you have to follow and no grindy side games you need to play to advance.”

“The game is obviously rigged for in-game payments, and it's utterly tedious if you don't have money to spare on a stupid app.”
“Great game overall, plenty of things to do; however, earning money and leveling up is a long and tedious process.”

Players express a desire for improved replayability through enhanced game mechanics, such as easier access to active fashion houses, better management of inactive members, and more engaging challenges. They feel that these changes would significantly increase the game's playability and overall enjoyment.
“With all the money that long-time players put into the game, you would think there would be easier ways to find fashion houses with active members, kick out inactive heads of house and house officers, remove inactive fashion houses, get diamonds easier, and have more playable challenges.”

Reviewers express frustration with the lack of variety in character poses, which detracts from the overall atmosphere of the game. They feel that more dynamic poses, such as sitting or walking, would enhance the immersion and better reflect the intended environment.
“The only annoying thing for me is the one and only pose for those models, which makes it sometimes boring. I mean, why can't you make a variety of poses that we can choose from, like models sitting or walking, or at least capture the real atmosphere of the subject needed?”
“The atmosphere feels flat and uninspired, lacking the depth and detail that would make the environment engaging.”
“Despite the potential for a rich setting, the atmosphere is dull and fails to immerse players in the experience.”
