1. [R3] Manus 3/5 · US It’s great but the app itself has issues: Don’t get me wrong the ai is great but the credits and daily limit stuff pisses me off I genuinely am limited to four attempts to make a complete website or fix a zip file
2. [R4] Manus 1/5 · US Usage limits: Please up the usage limits and remove the Manus watermark because this app has become a waste of a download (I used the PC version)
3. [R13] Manus 1/5 · US This used to be amazing: 40,000 credits and 4 hours and work was not done !!! So disappointing
4. [R16] Manus 1/5 · US Waste of money: This app keeps running in circles until it uses up all of the points that you pay for instead of being true to the monthly subscription, like an advertises at first
5. [R1] Manus 2/5 · US Tried: Manus will attempt a task over and over then admit it couldn’t do it all along. There is absolutely no support. The AI BOT is useless.
6. [R10] Manus 1/5 · US Horrible: Crashes a lot and customer service is not helpful they use mostly AI agents for customer service it constantly will crash your app and stay in a De bugging state. It’ll take you months to get what other apps can do.in a few hours or days. It’ll start out good but end up bad. You’ll be frustrated and will want your money back.
7. [R12] Manus 3/5 · US 😾: I gave you a three because it didn’t not give me the correct answer
8. [R18] Manus 3/5 · US THIS SITE IS A RIP OFF: It goes in circles using all your credits, their payment systems flawed. They’ve cost me thousands of dollars this week! Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced( update, they fixed it)
9. [R20] Manus 5/5 · US Engaño de lo que dicen que ofrecen: Pagué $18,019.40 MXN por Manus Pro. La IA fallaba repetidamente, perdí mi proyecto y créditos, y llevo más de una semana pidiendo reembolso sin respuesta real, solo bots. No lo recomiendo.
10. [R15] Manus 3/5 · US takes very long to generate: The ai, once you ask it something, it take a very long time to actually answer it. If you’re impatient like me, it’s not the best ai app.
11. [R28] Manus 2/5 · US So slow and slow to train: I’m annoyed at how slow everything is including uploading and downloading photos and it doesn’t seem to understand how to boil things down in a concise way. It almost never cuts to the chase.
12. [R51] Grok AI 1/5 · US Waste of time: The new restrictions on Grok give you like 15 minutes look I get it. It’s an exaggeration but it gives you like 15 minutes per week now for $30 a month. It’s a waste of time. Don’t waste your money on Grok. You get 15 images in the image generator and 15 minutes of time talking to Grok don’t waste your money. It’s not worth $30 a month!
13. [R53] Grok AI 3/5 · US Was a bit disappointed: I like using grok for general AI help used for personal stuff. I had a picture the other day taken over 40 years ago. I was holding an old hunting rifle and grok cleaned up the photo with great results one more pass and it stopped because of the rifle. So it’s a bit “woke”
14. [R55] Grok AI 4/5 · US Great but lacking.: So I’ve been using Grok for awhile now. It’s been absolutely fantastic. I often use the Imagine part for a novel I’m writing. What kind of makes me slightly annoyed, is the new “Weekly limit” it’s annoying
15. [R56] Grok AI 3/5 · US It’s a little annoying: It’s a little annoying but it’s also amazing I don’t like it because the limit on the conversation and I do like it because you can edit you words and the stories are nice the stories I would give like 4 stars. :)
16. [R65] Perplexity 1/5 · US Buyers beware it’s a scam.: I paid for a pro account and it wants to charge me to do things. Why when I have a pro account I can go on Gemini with a pro account and do it I can go on Claude with a free account and do a lot of it. Why am I paying for Perplexity? no refunds available even for same-day purchase… It’s a scam.
17. [R67] Perplexity 3/5 · US Credits for a paid app??: I can’t believe that I’m being hampered by going through all of my “credits” or whatever it is when I pay for this app. That seriously makes me want to cancel the service. Never use it again.
18. [R68] Perplexity 2/5 · US Interrupts way too often: Having a conversation with Perplexity is painful. It starts answering before I complete my question and it wants to babble and babble giving much more info than what I asked, making a follow up conversation difficult.
19. [R69] Perplexity 5/5 · US Exceptional app: First time using this app so far has done a excellent job in creating an outline in PDF file. I have a lot more to explore.
20. [R79] AI Chatbot 1/5 · US Worst One Yet!: I’m suing other Free ChatGPT and those works better then this nova with Subscription
21. [R81] AI Chatbot 3/5 · US Excellence: I noticed the program's excellence before using it. · translated
22. [R82] AI Chatbot 1/5 · US Use up your free because it doesn't answer the questions: I said to look up a particular restaurant with a number in the name and it said nothing about a restaurant and argued with me about safety standards. I said no I want to look up the restaurant then it asked me again. Are you sure? twice! and then it said I used up all my free searches. So I had to go and use another app to get my answer.
23. [R84] AI Chatbot 2/5 · US They stole my money: I paid a whole year worth of service which is due on August 4 2026. At the time of writing this we are more than 3 weeks away from the due date and my paid service got cut short. I sent them an email asking about this and nobody responded.
24. [R93] ClickUp 2/5 · US No place for existing users to login: I really like your product. It works great on my computer and my tablet. However when I download the iOS version, which I have done several times now, it insists on forcing me down the path of creating a new account. There is no place for an existing user to login. Please fix this!
25. [R94] ClickUp 5/5 · US TURNS ONE MAN BAND INTO SYMPHONY!: (IT AIN’T EASY) Ya gotta stay with it til it becomes more intuitive and UI is understood. But you’ll go from intimidated to recognizing how powerful but useable it is. The A.I. (so far) has BLOWN MY MIND! I’m able to do stuff that would’ve taken weeks, and (I’m just getting started at it). But it turns a one man business into one that operates like it’s a 10 ma
26. [R95] ClickUp 3/5 · US Uploads slow: Whenever there's an update, I remain hopeful that the upload function will get better. However, I'm still experiencing difficulties, as uploads often don't complete even after 5-10 minutes of trying. I end up having to airdrop my video to my laptop first before uploading it to the task. I really love ClickUp overall, but this app hasn't quite met my expectations yet.
27. [R96] ClickUp 1/5 · US This app is horrible everywhere.: Really laggy, does way too much, tons of freezing and performance problems, a search function so bad that it makes Discord look good. Threads are useless. I don’t know how this company is in business. When I had to use this program for work I was wondering why I had never heard of it and regret knowing I had to find out. 0/10.
28. [R107] Comet 1/5 · US I see no difference between this and any other browser: After three months of using this as my main browser, I still don’t understand the purpose of it. The team that developed this browser has done a lousy job showing regular people the purpose of an AI integrated browser.
29. [R108] Comet 4/5 · US useful feature: Very useful features like summarize, multi LLM support etc. But freezes often with voice chat etc
30. [R109] Comet 3/5 · US Integration: It gets 3 stars cuz I can’t continue the chat in Perplexity. I’ve also sent a few support tickets to them in the past about a few things, but I don’t have time to do it for everything.
31. [R110] Comet 2/5 · US No option to bookmark page on iPad version: No option to bookmark page on iPad. Unbelievable. Prompted Comet for solution and it could not find solution either. Otherwise, product seems to work. Please implement this basic feature..
32. [R19] Manus 1/5 · US This is way too expensive: They keep upping the amount of money involved. You have to pay for mistakes that they have a problem correcting. I just can’t afford it. Right in the middle of work it stops and wants you to pay more money.
33. [R39] Manus 3/5 · GB I like it but the customer service is terrible.: I’ve been using Manus for about 2-3 months now and I think it’s really good. The only let down is the customer support. It’s non existent, just chat bots. You speak to them and then they get in a loop and the problem gets worse without a solution. You are the passed a message that says someone will get in touch only to find out it’s another chat b
