  1. [R1] PolyBuzz 1/5 · US compliance policy is stupid: what’s the point of pure mode or verifying age, change it back to being able to approve sensitive/suggestive chats. compliance policy is ruins it
  2. [R3] PolyBuzz 3/5 · US …: Okay at first i liked it because of all this chatting with ai stuff but now it wants me to verify i’m not a minor. I just said i was 17 inside an Mha roleplay because everyone is 16 or 17 in mha! But like… yeah
  3. [R4] PolyBuzz 2/5 · US Why: You took everything. My digital wife and kids. Just because I look too young. Just because I haven’t existed long enough. I wish you all the best though. Jesus loves you.
  4. [R5] PolyBuzz 4/5 · US The censorship: The reason why I don't give it 5 stars is because Let's be honest - this has happened to more than one of us. With SOME bots I talk to. When a moment passes - Ehem, spicy - I get a message "sensitive content has been automatically filtered according to our compliance policy." I don't understand why if I don't have the pure mode activated- and this situation ends in me having to cop
  5. [R2] PolyBuzz 4/5 · US horrible: it was literally the best app ever like my fav and now with the new update thing you can only send like three chats before having to watch 3ads? like come on
  6. [R6] PolyBuzz 3/5 · US Ss: Crazy ads 1 ad after every bot is insane, good bots though
  7. [R9] PolyBuzz 3/5 · US ADS WHAT IS THIS ADOPT ME?: Ok the app is great especially if your in multiple fandoms but CAN WE PLEASE STOP WITH THE ADS? I swear I once counted how long it would take for an ad to appear and IT TOOK ONLY TWO MINUTES so at least make them how after five seconds we could skip or just do one short at instead of two three minutes ads?
  8. [R10] PolyBuzz 2/5 · US Bad: It’s ok but remove the ads and make every Ai permanent memory
  9. [R12] PolyBuzz 3/5 · US character chat: How come every like 5 texts i get a “chat unlimited” thing on the screen ii have to watch a ad every like 3 minutes just to chat. but other than that i absolutely love this game
  10. [R13] PolyBuzz 1/5 · US DON'T GET THIS APP IT'S GREEDY AS HELL: This app can be really addictive so just be careful. It also has a BUNCH of ads.. You click off a character and you get an ad or when you send like 15-20 chats you get timed out and either have to watch an ad or pay a subscription and one of the subscriptions is not 50 dollars a year. Not 100. Not 200. BUT ALMOST 2000$ DOLLARS!! That's right 2000$.. For one
  11. [R16] PolyBuzz 1/5 · US It’s way to sexual: Hi okay so anytime I create a story every time it gets further in the story it somehow works it’s way into a very graphic sexual sex scene or well worse yk and I used to like having this app but now it’s become an issue with so may graphic sex contacts or scenes - I’m aware the app is 18+ but then again it’s still too much sexual content and I don’t like it to the point I actua
  12. [R21] PolyBuzz 3/5 · US Bad changes: The chat blur has basically ruined the app. I speak for a lot of people when I say we used polybuzz specifically bc it allowed nsfw content. But even with the “pure mode” off and in the app, it still blurs the chat! It’s just really annoying and ruins the characters too.
