Bankrupt OddNo. Ends Link! Like! Love Live! Offline App On October 30
An offline preservation build normally outlives the service it came from, and this one is being pulled about four months after the service ended, so the announced date is the last practical window for players to secure their own card and sticker data.

OddNo. Inc. announced on September 28 that distribution of the offline version of Link! Like! Love Live! for iOS and Android ends on October 30 at 12:00. The online service had already ended on June 30 at 12:00 after the company's financial situation worsened and it could not maintain the production structure for its main content. An offline version followed, holding players' obtained cards and stickers plus profile card and home screen editing tools. The company's commencement of bankruptcy proceedings was decided in August. New installs and re-downloads from the App Store and Google Play Store stop on October 30, and logins and in-app data downloads stop with them. Anyone who completes login and data downloads before then can keep using the app. Acceptance of new inquiries about link password reissuance ends October 20 at 12:00, and paid SIsCa refund applications close September 30 at 12:00, with refund guidance promised by October 30.
Automaton notes the offline version had originally been announced as available only until the end of September, so the October 30 cutoff effectively postpones the end of distribution by one month rather than extending it indefinitely. After that point, the app cannot be installed again from the App Store or Google Play Store, and logging in or pulling in-app data becomes impossible. Only players who complete those steps in advance keep access.
The title sits on the Love Live! Hasunosora Girls' High School School Idol Club project, the fifth media-mix work in the Love Live! series, set at a private girls' high school in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. OddNo. Inc. handled development and operation. Automaton describes the original app as a real-time school calendar project with monthly full-voice, full-3D activity stories, regular cast livestreams, virtual music performances, and card and rhythm game modes. It was released in May 2023 and ran for about three years before ending on June 30.
