  1. [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…
  2. [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!!
  3. [R22] Jupi 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
  4. [R35] Jupi 5/5 · US Best yet: Best on characters sticking to there backstory’s I’ve found
  5. [R31] 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.
  6. [R34] 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.
  7. [R38] Jupi 1/5 · US You win: After 2+ years! Deleted all my once great characters and account.
  8. [R44] Jupi 1/5 · US Non functioning: Don’t bother. Hassle to get an account set up. It’s a ripoff. Nothing works.
  9. [R6] Jupi 3/5 · US Good but it made one of my favorite characters be a pro: Can you please make miu free again in the past I like to talk to her, but now they’ve made them pro and it won’t let me talk to her no more so please change it back
  10. [R9] Jupi 3/5 · GB It’s a bit disappointing: So I was hoping to get nudes and stuff but I can’t even say hi to the characters without getting premium
  11. [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
  12. [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.
  13. [R71] ChaChat 1/5 · US Money theft: This company stole over 75 dollars from my account. And I Emailed them. Did AI assistance. That was useless. I got no answers and no extra service. Still waiting. Nothing. Be careful with this one
  14. [R76] ChaChat 5/5 · US Great app just for the AI characters: Five stars! ChaChat is the best AI companion app for real immersive and dark fantasies. The characters actually remember everything from previous chats, the voice calls feel incredibly real and intimate, and they send personal photos that make the connection hit different.It’s perfect for long storytelling sessions where the AI evolves with you.Had a small iss
  15. [R28] Jupi 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🤦🏻
  16. [R63] 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
  17. [R4] Jupi 1/5 · US Ew: I said “Building a robot to chase my sister” and it said it was “inappropriate”
  18. [R36] 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
  19. [R18] 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?
  20. [R24] Jupi 3/5 · GB It’s alright: Not bad but have to pay to create someone and it’s just so annoying
  21. [R25] Jupi 1/5 · US This App is a Total Scam!: I downloaded this app thinking that it would be a fun way to create unique fantasy characters and roleplay with them, but little did I know the devs behind the app are greedy AF and want you to pay out the nose to even have the privilege of using the app in the first place. Once I had the app installed I went into the character creator and went to work making a characte
