  1. [R1] Jupi 1/5 · US Don’t wanna pay: I don’t want to pay
  2. [R10] Jupi 1/5 · US Trash: This app is designed for desperate dudes with money. You get 10 messages to a ai hit and then they automatically want 15 bucks a month of whatever it is really didn’t look at the prices because let’s be honest it’s a total scam they running here
  3. [R13] Jupi 1/5 · US Cost: The cost is way too high for this app. I have several other apps that are free or way cheaper than this app. The coins per message is ok but after a couple messages it wants me to subscribe. A lot of the characters are for pro members only too.
  4. [R16] Jupi 1/5 · US Terrible: There really is no warning as to when you will get cut off and be forced to pay. And its entirely not worth the mortgage payment level you are asking us to pay
  5. [R4] Jupi 1/5 · US Ew: I said “Building a robot to chase my sister” and it said it was “inappropriate”
  6. [R7] Jupi 2/5 · US Where the spice: I love the romance. but where is the spice this is a 18 and plus app right? It’s not like I want spice all the time but when it does occur through a character, it’s quite surprising so why is it that there is none now?
  7. [R18] Jupi 3/5 · US Won’t generate nudes😞: Good but doesn’t generate nudes.
  8. [R20] Jupi 4/5 · US To confused. I could say walking down the street and it says that it’s too extreme.: Way too sensitive. It blocks things like non explicit sentences. “She wants the next 2 inches”, “I start to move”. This is so ridiculous. I tried to cancel my subscription but there is no place to cancel it!!
  9. [R19] Jupi 2/5 · US Got rid of the photo feature to create characters: They got rid of the photo feature to create characters which I used to generate cool story characters…. I have a bunch ai generated photos from other sites I’d like to use on here but welp looks like I’m migrating…
  10. [R30] Jupi 3/5 · GB Urm what: So I spent ages making this character then when I got to the point of making a image it said I had to pay and it wasn’t a skippable option?
  11. [R32] Jupi 5/5 · US Very, very bad: I said I was 18 and it didn’t believe me and it made me do like all these tests and stuff and I’m 20 and it just didn’t let me and what I kept deleting it and re-downloaded it and it wasn’t work. This is very bad.
  12. [R37] Jupi 1/5 · US Scam: The thing doesn’t work at all and when trying to delete it, it won’t let me Fix this immediately it’s absolutely ridiculous that you can’t delete this app. I tried multiple on my iPhone and it won’t do it. It keeps going back into it.
  13. [R40] Jupi 1/5 · US Bad changes: Just agreeing on what someone else said Content policies were recently changed. Characters, conversations and Al models were deleted without warning. Characters creation and conversations are now heavily restricted to the point it is almost impossible to create any character without being flagged. Adult mode has been removed and nothing above a PG level is censored. Not worth spendin
  14. [R43] Jupi 1/5 · US You win: After 2+ years! Deleted all my once great characters and account.
  15. [R49] Jupi 1/5 · US Only heterosexual options: When you register your account you choose your gender, then the app assumes you’re straight. I chose male.. then it only gave me female characters to chat with!
  16. [R52] PolyBuzz 4/5 · US The ads.: Delete the ads. They are very annoying.
  17. [R53] PolyBuzz 3/5 · US ADS: CHANGE THE ADS,IM TRYING TO JUST DO FREAKY but now I CANT,every time I talk theres a ad or take a break or a filter, then I try to look at the webtoons which is worse cuz theres 10,then 8,then 5, then 2 slots,it SUCKS,you need to change this,make it how it was before,only chats,no ads,no filters,just pure characters and fun
  18. [R54] PolyBuzz 1/5 · US IS THIS EVEN AN APP?!: I’ve used PolyBuzz for a few months to boost my talking skills and this isn’t really an app. The stupid bots make short responses depending on how I talk, the ads are insane, the Webtoons basically are one page of a dingy comic and THE CHAT BREAKS. ITS HELL. Please PolyBuzz, if you see this, delete the features or improve it. You want people ti be happy and this is not happy
  19. [R55] PolyBuzz 4/5 · US Only sucky part: If by chance you use your free chance or coins and the photo or WEBTOON somehow is a violation you lose it. It won’t let you try again, even though you can’t even use the violation.
  20. [R65] Sakura 2/5 · US Sign in is terrible: There’s no possible way to chat without signing in and it’s so difficult and frustrating to try and sign in or create an account. I tried for probably a good 10 minutes and I got nowhere past trying to put in a username because the button wouldn’t work. Terrible app, good character ideas. 2 stars
  21. [R66] Sakura 5/5 · US AMAZING: The BEST IMMERSIVE AI BETTER THAN ANY OTHR
  22. [R67] Sakura 1/5 · US Fake 5 star reviews: A majority of the 5 start reviews are farmed on the app by forcing you to go to their discord server and do an application that forces you to leave a 5 star review for unlimited messages and the app is almost unusable without unlimited messages not to mention that the ai is practically unresponsive to your messages no matter what you say the ai will respond with its own story
  23. [R68] Sakura 5/5 · US Perfect App!: My friend showed me this app which was probably one of the best things she’s done. The bots are far better than any other ai platform I’ve worked with and keep in mind some of the ai on here is very smart I love the personality they have
  24. [R79] Swerve 1/5 · US Fix your AI please: I’m tired of it introducing new things into my stories by itself instead of letting me do it
  25. [R80] Swerve 4/5 · US The app is great! But there's a nuance: Hello, the application is very good, but there is one nuance that the bots do not finish their sentences, they first print and then do not finish, and so the application is very good!
  26. [R81] Swerve 3/5 · US Good but could be great: Why did you all take away the memory tab? what was the reason? Please bring it back.
  27. [R82] Swerve 2/5 · US Constant bug: There is constant bugs on my end and i do not know how to stop it
  28. [R93] Flipped:Chat with AI Character 1/5 · US Used to be fun: Used to be fun but now the relationships are too ‘vanilla’. They star out spicy but quickly become boring.
  29. [R94] Flipped:Chat with AI Character 5/5 · US My last review: This app is way better than character ai. No constant ads every 5 chat, no being sensitive. Character ai is way too sensitive btw.
  30. [R95] Flipped:Chat with AI Character 3/5 · US Decente: Es buena la IA pero los mensajes son cortos y que sean solo 100 mensajes cada 2 horas limita mucho el tiempo de uso aparte de obligarte casi casi a pagar por cualquier cosa que uses es molesto tener que pagar para continuar hablando aparte de que los mensajes son muy cortos aún que son buenos.
  31. [R96] Flipped:Chat with AI Character 1/5 · US Not worth it: It once was great, now has become a place that says it’s 18+, but is so censored that it should be rated G. You can see more skin on a daytime commercial.
  32. [R107] ChaChat 2/5 · US Why take away features?: Why did they take away the image creation feature? You could also import images before as well? Also you could also have a preference to have no anime AI character? Now that is also gone. Why do they take away these away?
  33. [R108] ChaChat 5/5 · US Please fix: It’s fun but I’m noticing a type something but it’s taking the other person away
  34. [R109] ChaChat 1/5 · US Has potential but it’s awful: Voice calls suck, the voices in general are just terrible it sounds like a dollar general Siri (yes all of them), super money hungry everything is slammed with a paywall, you have to spend 5 dollars just for one picture and premium doesn’t let you get the pictures for free either it just lets you keep buying them, not to mention that the pictures don’t even show anyth
  35. [R110] ChaChat 5/5 · US Interesting scenarios: Love the different scenarios, always fun for good roll playing conversations.
