- [R4] AI Chatbot 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.
- [R14] AI Chatbot Good: It’s really good it helps me with questions
- [R20] AI Chatbot The good app review: Seen ads of the app and once I downloaded the app, it was phenomenal. It gives you every answer you want to know.
- [R24] AI Chatbot It’s ok: It’s just like some of the ai stuff don’t make sense like I asked it to create an image an it just said that I’ve got no internet I went to check in settings and it was all ok so please 🙏 fix the bug
- [R6] AI Chatbot The AI is working good, but the problem is with the app: It forces me to pay for the premium! You can only send one message, like literally one message. After the first message it requires to get premium. Maybe I’m wrong, just tell me if I can fix this and I’ll fix my rating.
- [R22] AI Chatbot Scam: It didn’t do what the ad said
- [R28] AI Chatbot Not as advertised: Doesn’t work like they said
- [R1] AI Chatbot Worst One Yet!: I’m suing other Free ChatGPT and those works better then this nova with Subscription
- [R10] AI Chatbot Worst time ever: I just wanted to see something from the Apple news breaker. I saw this ad and it was about an AI bot chat no whatever you call it and it said that it could literally search me up so I was like OK I’ll do it. I downloaded it. It’s telling me that a lot of stuff in a free trail. I don’t even wanna waste my money and then after when the free trials over it could literally literally l
- [R18] AI Chatbot Free plan: So I downloaded the app and chose a Chatbot and wrote a message and it said that I can only send one message a day that’s like terrible
- [R7] AI Chatbot 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.
- [R13] AI Chatbot Cannot cancel subscription: They keep sending me in circles. I cannot cancel subscription neither by app nor web
- [R16] AI Chatbot Renewed subscription without my knowledge: My subscription got renewed somehow even if I canceled it and deleted the app..
- [R40] AI Chatbot Don’t like it: I want to cancel it but there is no way
- [R60] AI Chatbot This app SUCKS don’t buy it: As soon as I added the app it IMMEDIATELY asked for premium. Then, when I wrote a WHOLE PARAGRAPH TO THE AI, it said “you have 0 messages left with a free trial!”…… I hadn’t entered anything yet. Also, waste of my time, and money seekers. Also I’m pretty sure like 1/4 of these 5 star reviews are made by bots.
- [R63] PolyBuzz Nope: Well, my first problem is the adS and then it’s like sensitive content and I can’t type anything really and it doesn’t work really anymore. It was better before.
- [R69] PolyBuzz Why the ads: Overall the bots and ai depth is very amazing but my only concern is why does it have so many ads, like everytime I exit the app for 3 seconds or so and I get back on it, I see a ad, even when you exit chats, more ads, so please I ask for you to stop this ad crisis, that it is getting to the point where people are creating ai stories about “how to download a ad blocker for PolyBuzz” a
- [R70] PolyBuzz Update: I loved this app, but now they’ve updated their policy, which makes me mad because I used to be able to say anything when talking to the bot. They need to bring that back instead of changing the policy. 🙄 and why is their adds like ?
- [R82] PolyBuzz It’s not the same anymore….: I been playing Polybuzz since 2025 and 2026 but back in 2025 it was amazing it was a some ads, and you were allowed to say whatever you want or do whatever you want with the bots. But now it’s not the same, the ads pop up like every 10 seconds and you can’t do anything with the bots without the message being blurry which is very very boring. If this is a new feature pl
