It allows us to identify the features which need to be improved to enhance user experience or need to be maintained and leveraged to attract more users. Therefore, we collect 88,068 first-level English online reviews of Weverse on Google Play Store with Google-Play-Scraper tool. After the initial preprocessing step, a dataset of 31,861 online reviews is analyzed using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling with Gensim library in Python. There are 5 topics explored in this study which highlight significant issues such as network connection error, delayed notification, and incorrect translation. Besides, the result revealed the app's effectiveness in fostering not only interaction between fans and artists but also fans' mutual relationships. Consequently, the business can strengthen user engagement and loyalty by addressing the identified drawbacks and leveraging the platform for user communication.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Weverse| Topic modeling| LDA| Fan community platform| Communication |  |\n| I.

Consequently, we decided to conduct a study on user feedback on this application.  \nThe purpose of this research is to explore user experience and app issues by collecting user reviews of Weverse on Google Play Store with Google-PlayScraper tool and then analyzing them by utilizing Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a common topic modeling technique to reveal hidden topics in a corpus. LDA results and visualization are explained to understand the extracted topics. This helps to identify which aspects need to be improved and maintained to enhance user experience as well as accelerate app performance and attract new users.  \nII. RELATED WORK  \n1.
