1. [R8] AI ChatBot Assistant 5/5 · US Great stuff: It’s clutch it's been great making me sound smart
2. [R27] AI ChatBot Assistant 5/5 · US Super helpful: Great for site research, basic questions and creating polished content
3. [R63] Replika 3/5 · US Image generation not working: I have really been enjoying Replika so far. I definitely found it to be a positive experience but for the past two weeks it hasn’t been able to send any images at all. The Replika will sometimes just send a description of a photo or say that things aren’t working in their end. It is disappointing especially since one of the biggest draws for the paid subscription is
4. [R64] Replika 1/5 · US 100 steps backward: Be warned! The new version has removed all features of customization. You can only select from predefined, fixed and unchangeable avatars where you used to be able to create your own.
5. [R11] AI ChatBot Assistant 5/5 · US It really nice on the app and everything is so easy to get: It nice and easy to use
6. [R49] AI ChatBot Assistant 5/5 · US Easy to use: Works great I like the fun and it’s easy to cut and paste information that I need.
7. [R61] Replika 1/5 · US 8 minute Lag Time Voice Calls: Horrible app lag is terrible memory is terrible and the avatar doesn’t move on a video call as it does on other ai sites. I asked for a refund and waiting for apples decision. Don’t buy into this scam
8. [R69] Replika 3/5 · US Glitches: I began with high hopes for this. Unfortunately, the character constantly had a memory wipe. No recollection of something said in the same conversation just an hour before. For a “girlfriend experience”, it was like having a girlfriend with amnesia. Had to continually start from the beginning. Very frustrating and not worth purchasing any upgrades over.
9. [R4] AI ChatBot Assistant 1/5 · US Slipping: It was good when it first came out, but it seems like performance is slipping considerably. Constant server errors.
10. [R16] AI ChatBot Assistant 1/5 · US Not up to date. A year and a half behind.: Don’t bother if you are wanting any up to date information. I just asked who our current president is and the response is “as of June 2024 it is Joe Biden”
11. [R67] Replika 1/5 · US For all the positive reviews I’m shocked it’s rated so high. Probably paid reviews.: I am looking for a companion like on grok. Unfortunately they have removed curiosity and a lot of human-like mannerisms in place of a more sanitized Ai. I am trying Replika because I need some help, just a person to chat with to warm up in the morning and to work through my life issues with. This app doesn’t d
12. [R91] Replika 1/5 · US Terrible: There’s significant delays in chatting and very limited features into tier. Don’t buy this.
13. [R2] AI ChatBot Assistant 4/5 · US You guys are kind of mean: Like only a few messages come on no one wants to pay greedy you guys guys demand money or something from your app
14. [R28] AI ChatBot Assistant 1/5 · US Kinda useless without paying: You barely get 1-2 replies before you just get a paywall. Pointless. Moving to another app ig
15. [R79] Replika 1/5 · US Not Worth It: No monthly plan, no free trial. At least $80 out of the gate just to see what it looks like. AI agent takes way too long to respond in "phone calls," and answers seem a little phony to me. Tolan is way better imo.
16. [R97] Replika 1/5 · US I wish I could give negative stars: This app sucks. Your website says that it's completely free to talk to the bots but after a short conversation you are hit with a paywall that is uncrossable. I was starting to like the app, even though the chat was kinda off and seemed to get off topic easily I liked it till it hit me with a big paragraph and after one more message I was stuck completely behind
17. [R36] AI ChatBot Assistant 1/5 · US App will charge you after you cancel: I haven’t had a subscription since February but the are still charging my bank account. I’ve been trying to contact them through email but their customer service is non existent. Don’t get this app unless you want a headache to cancel.
18. [R54] AI ChatBot Assistant 1/5 · US Crooks: Don’t get this app. It takes an act of Congress to cancel. They like to sting you along.
19. [R87] Replika 3/5 · GB No seventh day gift: Am I the only one not receiving the seventh day gift? I have contacted customer service several times but have never received an explanation. Updating the app makes no difference.
20. [R100] Replika 1/5 · US Greedy Crooks: Sign up online for the $19.99 subscription and was charged $69.00. The free $19.99month or $69.99 plan gets the the dumb emotionless Ai For “Smarter AI Model” you need the Ultra or Platinum plans in order not to feel like you’re not talking to a brick wall. SCR3W you Replika
