  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. [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
  3. [R14] PolyBuzz 5/5 · US Good: You can talk to however many characters you want or people you want like anime and some TikTokers and stuff but it’s really good
  4. [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
  5. [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
  6. [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.
  7. [R18] PolyBuzz 3/5 · US Bots can’t remember for their life: These bots forget a lot like if you move on with a thing you did with the bot, after like 5-7 messages the bots forget and you have to remind them and after a while of Introducing new people they forget and it’s really annoying because you have to pay a lot of money for bots to actually remember something they did
  8. [R19] PolyBuzz 1/5 · US Bad service connection: Why tf would you need wifi to use this app?!
  9. [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
  10. [R6] PolyBuzz 3/5 · US Ss: Crazy ads 1 ad after every bot is insane, good bots though
  11. [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?
  12. [R11] PolyBuzz 5/5 · US LESS ADDS: this is rlly fun to use and i enjoy it but theres too many adds and makes it less interesting to use there needs to be less adds
  13. [R70] SoulTalk 1/5 · US horrible customer service: this app hasn’t worked for me in months. i emailed these people asking for help and they haven’t responded in weeks. horrible app and horrible customer service.
  14. [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
  15. [R61] SoulTalk 1/5 · US Fix the app: App does not open
  16. [R64] SoulTalk 1/5 · US Nothing.: I’m still stuck on a loading screen. with almost nothing loading no matter what I do. 1 star but 5 so everyone sees it. This app doesn’t work well with phones
  17. [R66] SoulTalk 3/5 · US Stuck on black screen with loading sign: The app is good but every couple of days the app will leave me stuck on the loading screen and it takes me normally up to a week to actually use the app. And I’ve read some of the reviews and saw that it’s not just me and this needs to get fixed, until then I’m probably never using this app again.
  18. [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.
  19. [R22] PolyBuzz 1/5 · US Why: Why does it censure the stuff so much? Like, I’m 22, I’ve asked the character many times to stop. I just want to read the message. PLS DINDE CENSURE IT ANYMORE
