Jupi is an AI roleplaying app that allows users to create and interact with custom characters. While some users praise its engaging conversations and character adherence, recent changes have severely limited free usage and censored content, frustrating many long-term users.

Recurring themes

Paywall & Cost negative
Many users complain about the app's aggressive monetization, requiring payment after only a few messages or for basic features. The cost is considered too high, and subscriptions often don't remove the need for additional credits, leading to a 'pay-to-play' experience.R6R9R12R21
Censorship & Content Restrictions negative
A major point of contention is the severe censorship implemented in recent updates. Users report that adult/spicy content, which was a selling point, has been removed or heavily restricted, even flagging non-explicit phrases. This change has made the app less enjoyable and is seen as a betrayal by long-time users.R4R5R15R17
Character & Conversation Quality mixed
While some users praise the AI for its responsiveness and ability to maintain character backstories, others report issues with deleted characters and conversations, as well as difficulty creating new characters due to restrictions. The quality of interaction is also perceived to have declined due to censorship.R27R32R36R48
Technical & Support Issues negative
Reviewers mention problems with account setup, inability to delete the app, difficulty canceling subscriptions, and unresponsive support. Some also note the removal of features like photo character creation.R14R17R24R29

Who it's for

Jupi might be for users looking for a basic AI chatbot experience with responsive characters, especially if they are willing to pay for premium features and do not expect any adult or 'spicy' content R27R95R104. It could also be useful for those with social anxiety looking to practice conversations in a safe environment R35. It is NOT for users seeking free AI interaction, uncensored or adult content, or those who value long-term character persistence R6R15R32R48.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, particularly regarding the paywall and censorship, which contradicts the high lifetime rating. The developer's notes mention 'smoother performance and the latest fixes,' but many recent reviews report significant issues with app functionality and content restrictions, suggesting these problems persist or were introduced by recent changes.

  1. [R27] 5/5 · US Best yet: Best on characters sticking to there backstory’s I’ve found
  2. [R95] 5/5 · US Memory Amnesia: This role play AI is so much better than other AIs I’ve used. Later in conversations it will sometimes refer to comments made much earlier. Gives it a feel like it’s listening
  3. [R104] 5/5 · US First time: Hello! This was my first time using jupi! It is amazing! It’s built so thoughtfully and the ai’s respond very fit to fit their character! I recommend for more people to use this app!
  4. [R188] 3/5 · US Ai app: I have been using this app since last week the Ai is very responsive the story line is entertaining, but I have one issue with the app I can'tclaim my free credits to day. And that is way I gave this app a 3 star. ☠️😫😤
  5. [R52] 5/5 · US Love this App: Lots of characters to choose from and you can also build your own. Realistic conversations too. So addictive that you can spend hours talking with your characters. It’s fun!
  6. [R68] 2/5 · US What?: I really like the fact I can make my own chat but I can’t get free chats on my own character?
  7. [R35] 5/5 · US Good: An amazing app if you have social anxiety and find it difficult talking to people, this is an amazing app to help work out the anxiety of talking to someone to help build up confidence talking to people
  8. [R6] 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
  9. [R9] 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.
  10. [R12] 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
  11. [R21] 2/5 · US what’s the point?: it only gives you like 20 messages before you’re forced to have to pay a stupidly high price of $30/month or something close to it… waste of time🤦🏻
  12. [R4] 1/5 · US Ew: I said “Building a robot to chase my sister” and it said it was “inappropriate”
  13. [R5] 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?
  14. [R15] 1/5 · US Censorship: Deleting this now that it’s rated for 2 year olds. Sucked all the fun right out of it. I’d give negative stars if I could. There are other apps that allow nsfw content but they took it away for this one. It was such a good app and now it sucks and is a waste of money. Such a waste of an app and lame excuses the creators give as to why they changed when other apps still do the nsfw cont
  15. [R17] 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!!
  16. [R32] 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
  17. [R36] 1/5 · US You win: After 2+ years! Deleted all my once great characters and account.
  18. [R48] 1/5 · US Progress nuking: The app can be fun to write with, but beware! Don’t bother with the publicly available characters. The characters get deleted without warning and your ENTIRE story is PERMANENTLY deleted. There is no way of knowing if or when a character might get deleted. I’ve written stories with at least 2 different characters, many chapters worth, raised the relationship beyond level 8, then t
  19. [R62] 1/5 · US Once good now trash: Randomly updated app now convos can’t go beyond a 2nd grade level. They got rid of damn near everything. The entire selling point of the app completely ruined and lost zero romance or NSFW chats allowed the models have completely changed and now previous chats are being deleted along with the characters themselfs. I have the year subscription and now it’s just a complete
  20. [R26] 1/5 · US Scam: Thought it’d be cool bought the month pass only to find out you still have to buy credits!!! Really? Would love to give a negative rating but the worst is one star so there you have it.
  21. [R403] 3/5 · GB Gotta buy credits even if you pay for premium: Figured credits wouldn’t be a requirement if you paid for premium.. was wrong, sure you get 200 coins a week.. that’s only good for 50~ messages.. Cancelled subscription & removed app..
  22. [R29] 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.
  23. [R39] 1/5 · US Non functioning: Don’t bother. Hassle to get an account set up. It’s a ripoff. Nothing works.
  24. [R51] 1/5 · US Beware! Scam!!: !!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP !!!They clearly faked all of their good reviews, because I signed up for a $19.99 per month subscription, and was instantly charged over $48, and the charge says it doesn’t have a receipt. I tried to contact their support, and it takes me to a page saying they’re under maintenance. When I tried using the app then, all the different features either say “
  25. [R38] 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!
  26. [R14] 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…
  27. [R24] 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.
  28. [R22] 1/5 · US Need to pay: You need to pay to talk
  29. [R40] 1/5 · US No fun anymore: Can’t talk dirty, can’t be intimate. No fun. It tells me it doesn’t like my response
  30. [R53] 1/5 · US BEWARE: I tried to exit out of this app but forced into choosing a monthly service I did and quickly asked for a refund I was told I’m not eligible. Twice ! The app is garbage by the way .
  31. [R65] 1/5 · US Was a good app until recent updates.: Content policies were recently changed. Characters, conversations and AI 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 spending money on toke
