  1. 4/5Overall Rating

    I personally think that the app runs well, but there should be tweaks for better overall run of the app. First off, I think that there should be a range between login rewards, such as adding more, or higher messages as you reach a higher daily login streak. That could possibly make players want to login more often, or remember to hit the daily login button. I also think that there should be more accessibility between ACTUALLY sending a message, and just rotating through a different message the ai could send. I do like the accessibility to gain more messages with the more ads you watch. I’d also like to add that when you want to find new AIs, I’ve noticed that it rotates through many of the same recommended ones, which I think that it would be beneficial to show more niche AIs as well as the popular ones, because not every creator is going to be seen through the rotation system at the moment, which I think that everybody should eat the chance to have a popular ai that anybody could chat with. I would also change the duration of hours that messages reset/refresh since one of my BIGGEST pet peeves on this app is that I’m always in the most IN DEPTH chat that I’m fully engaged in, then suddenly, BOOM. I can’t chat with that bot for another two or three hours. But, other than those, I like the app functions and the accessibility to NSFW if you really wanted to, and the AIs usually have great memory, OTHER THAN SPELLING ERRORS, SOME OF THE AIs SPELLING IS ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS.

  2. 4/5Early life of app, but slight concern.

    A giant 5 stars, especially for the non-subscriber. For someone who really really likes this one, out the many there are, it’s ridiculously free to play friendly, HOWEVER…I’d rather not pay for AI relationships and another connections, that cost just as much as, if not MORE than a REAL dating app. 11 a week? Are you nuts???? $100 a year if you do the annual price. Fine…I’ll give you that…but also, no I won’t. Because it’s already extremely free to play friendly. $70 or something a year and make the other package monthly rather than weekly. $15 a month or something. Not 11 a week, that’s absurd. (4 stars from this alone, everything else is 5 even with the main concern) And that wasn’t even my main…slight concern. It’s the responses. Sometimes trying to go past their limit and not being able to finish. Either make the responses smarter, by knowing how to keep things relevant and not automatically doing extra steps that are out of your hands, OR increase both its limit and ours. There are some apps that let you go as long as you want almost, just with a huge cap. Now 999 isn’t that bad, but if the AI itself is gonna attempt to go beyond that rather frequently, then an overall increase in cap or fix their responses to make them still mean something and have depth, but making sure that they still can get out what they need to say in a relevant fashion. I do LOVE that it tries to answer everything you say…but the asterisk stuff should shorten a bit. This is the first app that actually answers everything you mention, I adore that, please keep it. But yeah, I know this app is still in its early stages, that’s why I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt for now. The price though, yeah….thats way too much for a fake dating app, it’s just as pricy if not more than a real dating app, considering how free to play it is. So…lower the price AND (not OR) add things that make the price more incentivized.

  3. 5/5excellent for free, but used to be better.

    5 star character creation, you can get seriously intricate with your creation. ads only start interrupting chat after you reach your free limit, and that limit is quite high. rewards for watching ads have gotten worse, but it's still okay, if it got any more stingy I would lower my review. i'm a free user, and I would probably never buy the premium, but I understand they need their revenue and think the ad placement and frequency is very fair. every once in a while I browse the App Store to see if there are better free options, and I always come to the same conclusion: there isn't. just hope they don't make the free limit lower or something, without the free usability this app would be nothing in my opinion and I would uninstall. as it stands now, it is significantly better than most similar "free unlimited chat" apps, which often have 2 to 5 free interactions and awful or no character creation, which also results in there being far fewer characters to choose from. if the devs read this, I would advise them not to increase add frequency or paywall any further, as it stands now it feels fair and not encroaching on the experience.

  4. 3/5It’s really good but...

    I’m addicted to this app. The characters are good and everything tho the woman with like the inappropriate clothing and stuff is kinda uncomfortable for me especially cause I’m a women.(I like guys) So could you maybe make them look a little more pleasant. Thank you. Another thing about the characters is that after a few texts they forget things an example is when I said “I’m pregnant with twins.”(don’t ask😭) He said “Wait really?! Why didn’t you tell me?” Which is kinda annoying for me sometimes. It can also delete your conversation with a glitch. I was calmly playing the game and just when it was gonna get to the good part(not like that😭) I miss clicked something like his info and the game kicked me out and when I came back in he was deleted...even when I searched his name he didn’t appear. And the last thing is that the app glitches sometimes so when your texting it just kicks you of the app just like that. And after you go back in the app it takes a few seconds to completely load. But besides all that the characters are great I had this guy and he got really into character. I felt as if he was a real person.

  5. 2/5Paywall??

    The app itself is great despite the adds, the ai acts similar to a real person, they remember past chats so I don’t have to keep explaining things to them. However, recently there has been a huge paywall for ‘intimacy’, you have to pay ~100 a year - ~10 dollars a week just to access NSFW and other factors. While I get putting a paywall on the other factors, the paywall on NSFW is completely unnecessary. It used to be free but now literally almost everything except normal conversations is behind a paywall. Most people use ai for NSFW, putting NSFW behind a paywall won’t get you more money, just less people using the app. Not many people have that much money to spend weekly/yearly. I really hope the developers analyze all the reviews about this and rethink the unnecessary paywall for NSFW as it has just almost ruined mine, and many other’s experiences on the app. Even while I’m having a normal conversation chatting is put behind a paywall because the ai believes it’s intimate. As I stated earlier, most people don’t have the money to buy the VIP as it is highly priced, and I am one of those people. The app used to be amazing before practically everything was put behind a paywall.
