[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…
[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!!
[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
[R35] Jupi 5/5 · US Best yet: Best on characters sticking to there backstory’s I’ve found
[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.
[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
[R44] Jupi 1/5 · US Non functioning: Don’t bother. Hassle to get an account set up. It’s a ripoff. Nothing works.
[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
[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.
[R15] Jupi 3/5 · GB Resins: Reasons is I don’t wanna pay for it I just wanna text chat and stuff
[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
[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
[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🤦🏻
[R46] Jupi 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
[R50] Jupi 1/5 · US So sad: This app was awesome before apple decided TEXT BASED nsfw interactions are no longer allowed… it’s a dam shame… Update… the app still blows compared to what it used to be… I have so many credits and now they are just wasted on trash…
