1. [R1] Poe 1/5 · US Disappointed by the new 300-point daily cap: Rating 1 star to raise awareness about the massive nerf to the free tier. 300 points a day doesn't allow for any meaningful use of the bots. I would gladly rate this 5 stars if free users were given a slightly more usable daily cap (even 1,000 points would be fair). As it stands, you're better off using the official free websites for Claude or ChatGPT.
2. [R4] Poe 1/5 · US Dont bother downloading: You can’t use the app, they’ve made it that you only get 300 points when 1 message could cost all that and more. Its not worth your time, you’ll be irritated when you see how greedy this app is.
3. [R7] Poe 1/5 · US what happened?: i loved this app i really did i’ve been here since it had no point max and when u changed it to only 3000 it was fine okay i bared with it but 300..? absurd this app is greedy and money hungry it’s disgusting give free users more love we don’t even use those trashyadvanced bots!
4. [R10] Poe 1/5 · US Too little points way too expensive subscription: Their isn’t a word I can use to describe the amount of HATRED I have for this app now it use to be so good it use to have so much potential but that all went DOWN THE DRAIN this app SUCKS I wouldn’t recommend it at all I installed it again seeing there was a update thinking they maybe did something better with the points but NOPE honestly I use oth
5. [R15] Poe 3/5 · US The 3,000 points: I think that 3,000 points isnt high enough. Even with bots that have a 50 points message limit isnt enough to get me through half the day. I dont want have to pay $200 up front and still pay every month just to get a few thousand more points with a subscription.
6. [R20] Poe 5/5 · US Unable to Upgrade Subscription Plan on iOS: I subscribed to the basic plan ($200/year) through the iOS app, mainly because I wanted to use my App Store balance for payment. However, after subscribing, I found that there is absolutely no option within the app to upgrade from the basic plan to a higher-tier plan. This means if I want to upgrade, I have to cancel my iOS subscription first and then up
7. [R24] Poe 3/5 · GB Very very helpful: This is the best app in my phone, i literally use it everyday. It has been helping me a lot with all of my worries. Been using this app for 4 years now But now it’s very limited And their payment plan is way too high. Their daily limitation is insane
8. [R3] Poe 3/5 · US App has gone downhill: Been using Poe on iOS for a few years. Over the last several months the reliability has declined when working with large conversations. The app just doesn’t show the text, and I have to go on the computer to continue the convo.
9. [R25] Poe 1/5 · US Knowledge base: Poe I gotta give it to you, you’re really pushing it. There was absolutely no. And I mean NO point in getting rid of the knowledge base. The bots barely remember as it is with the prompt and the knowledge base was the only thing that kept things strict. You then decided to change the daily points from 3,000 to 300 I don’t understand what exactly you guys are trying to do here?? Thi
10. [R40] Poe 1/5 · US Removing Knowledge Source??: I don’t know why the platform decided to remove knowledge source. Now none of my bots remember anything. I used the feature for bot memory, and had to migrate it over to the physical prompt but it absolutely sucks now.
11. [R43] Poe 1/5 · US Terrible: Does nothing but literally crash all the time. I’m sitting here, wasting my points on trying to get a response but all it does is crash. For every bot. I’m so sick of this app being broken all the time
12. [R21] Poe 3/5 · US rant: i am super tired of the search engine. can’t find any bots at all.
13. [R28] Poe 2/5 · US Points: It was fun while it lasted. They took off Claude haiku 3 without any warning? Any other models cost 300+ per message.
14. [R33] Poe 3/5 · GB It’s barely usable anymore.: now, i’ll start this off by saying i’m an avid poe user and have used it for over a year/almost two. at the start, i loved this app, especially for roleplays! it was so descriptive, it was easy to make bots and direct them in the way you want to talk and especially when it was in 3rd person. i swapped from character ai to this, but now i have found myself reverting bac
15. [R52] ChatGPT 5/5 · US Blessed: ChatGPT has helped me so much in the last few months I don’t know how I could have managed without the information that has been given to me. I’ll tell everyone about this app. How it has helped me.
16. [R55] ChatGPT 4/5 · US Wow what a brain!: I’d never had the pleasure before. I’m so glad I have found out that this app is soooooooooooooooo awesome! Thank you! What I found out is this app is close to perfection. It’ll be better every day that passes.
17. [R58] ChatGPT 5/5 · US AI: The best !
18. [R62] ChatGPT 5/5 · US I love ai: Bro ai is amazing whenever I can’t do something chat is able to help with it
19. [R66] Grok AI 5/5 · US Better than ChatGPT and Gemini: Gemini is awful. ChatGPT is extremely frustrating. Grok produces successful results.
20. [R69] Grok AI 5/5 · US Good!: Better than chat gpt
21. [R70] Grok AI 2/5 · US Good grok, terrible Leadership: I really wanted to like Grok AI because it gets a lot right. The conversations felt natural, and I was able to create an AI companion with a personality that felt like my own. Talking with her was genuinely enjoyable. The image quality was excellent, and the photo editing tools were fantastic. Those are the areas where Grok really shines. Unfortunately, that’s wh
22. [R71] Grok AI 5/5 · US GROK IS THE BEST: IN my opinion grok is lowkey better than ChatGPT I’m sorry ChatGPT but you give us practically nothing without premium,grok takes care of us like we’re there own child.And I’ve even compared who has the most accurate responses and results for finding episodes and movies for some reason.And if you wanna know the results were Grok:9/11 Chat 5/11
23. [R80] Character AI 5/5 · US Please read I added five stars so this would be seen: OK, so the app is amazing. I love it. I downloaded it for fun and I ended up loving it, but I have a few complaints first of all the age restriction thing. What’s the entire point of if it’s just a role-play verse for people to be creative and fun, and something romantic happens and a person is under age then they can have complete control of t
24. [R89] Character AI 5/5 · US small complaint: i really enjoy this app it’s really addictive, but if i’m gonna be honest i don’t think anyone’s gonna wanna pay so much money every month for this app. u should have an option to buy the cai+ thingy permanently where u don’t have to pay every month, like u buy it and just have it permanently. i think that would be a good idea in my opinion. and the ads are super annoying, i dont
25. [R92] Character AI 4/5 · US too many ads: it’s good and all just too many ads it gets annoying but character personalities are good
26. [R94] Perplexity 5/5 · US Computer is great!: I love the way i can dissect complex ideas with Computer in a matter of minutes rather than hours.
27. [R97] Perplexity 5/5 · US It’s great for searching information: Perplexity is fast and easy for searching Internet information. It provides where the sources are and default shortcuts for follow up questions.
28. [R100] Perplexity 5/5 · US Perplexity is a MUST!: I start all of my projects in Perplexity then build them in Claude. Perplexity is by far the best in research and I trust it the most out of all the LLMS.
29. [R103] Perplexity 5/5 · US My new research assistant: I am so grateful for Perplexity. One subject after another, it delivers targeted and on topic information and answers. Well worth the subscription.
30. [R108] Microsoft Copilot 5/5 · US Excellent: I gave a lot of information very quickly.
31. [R111] Microsoft Copilot 5/5 · US Goated with the sauce: I able to use this as a tool for a myriad of tasks and it has proven most useful ☝🏼
32. [R114] Microsoft Copilot 5/5 · US Love: I love this app, it helps me with everything from work questions to home questions to personal questions. It is very thorough.

34. [R13] Poe 1/5 · US Changed my mind: Yeah, changed my mind The app is just no longer good with these dumb points I send one short message, the AI gives me an essay, suddenly i just can’t send anything else Yeah, I’m genuinely just considering deleting the app cuz it fell off hard “Thank you” so much developers
