more The game is very good I loved it a lot, but it should be available in other languages like Portuguese and Spanish And there should also be a list showing the best singers and a fan club list, having a girlfriend, social network would be very good 🤩👌🏽

I actually enjoy this game — the concept of building your music career is dope. The design, the music drops, the grind… all of that is solid. I wanted to give it 5 stars. But there are some things that just don’t make sense and really need to be improved. For example: I released an album that hit 20 billion streams in less than two weeks. That’s global-level success. And when the end-of-year awards (like the Grammys) came around… not even a nomination? Come on. It kills the realism and ruins the experience. If you’re going to create a music simulation game, the logic behind fame, awards, and recognition has to reflect success properly. Please fix this. If things like this get improved, I’ll be the first to update my rating.I really like MusicStar. The concept is great — building your career from the ground up, dropping singles, albums, going viral. It’s fun, and the game has a lot of potential.But here’s the problem: the success logic is broken. I dropped an album that hit 20 billion streams in less than two weeks, and at the end of the year? No Grammy nomination. Not even one. Same goes for singles that reached 5 billion+ streams — they don’t get nominated for anything either. That just doesn’t make sense.It kills the vibe. If a song or album performs at that level, it has to be recognized. Otherwise, what’s the point of grinding for those numbers?Also, not sure why the app keeps defaulting to Portuguese now. It used to show me the U.S. version (or sometimes Canada), and I prefer that. I’m not in Portugal and didn’t change any settings.The game is great, but these things really need improvement. I’d love to give it 5 stars — but for now, 2 is fair
