1. [R3] Claude by Anthropic 3/5 · US Chat summaries: This is an extraordinary tool, the best on the market in my view. But it has one really bad limitation: no way to save/download existing chats. The problem is that if a chat gets too long, it stops responding well and I even lost one in which hours had been invested. I want to be able to download a chat as a text document and add it to project files so it can be integrated for futu
2. [R15] Claude by Anthropic 3/5 · US Good AI: I've been using both ChatGPT and Claude side by side and paying for both. I really like a lot of what Claude offers, the features are genuinely good. But the usage limits kill it for me. I hit the "you've reached your limit, try again in 5 hours" wall constantly, almost always right in the middle of something I'm working on. For a paid subscription, that's frustrating. It makes the featu
3. [R64] Google 1/5 · US it was good while it lasted...: Why was the Read Aloud feature removed???? That was the only reason I downloaded this app, guess I'll be uninstalling it now.
4. [R91] Google 2/5 · US Read Aloud disappeared: To be honest, I don’t really like the Google app, I am just super used to safari and can’t change it but I heavily, HEAVILY, used it for the “Read Aloud” function (and it’s the only reason why I use the Google App). It was working just fine but the option suddenly disappeared the day before yesterday. I have already removed the app, reinstalled, removed shut down the phon
5. [R12] Claude by Anthropic 3/5 · US Great AI, slow responses: Claude is great and is my favorite AI model. It has been the most accurate and helpful for me. The one thing that drives me absolutely crazy though is how slow it is in the responses. I’ll ask a question, and it will sit there doing nothing for like 10 seconds before it even starts to respond. A lot of the time, it will respond right away and work perfectly. But at le
6. [R19] Claude by Anthropic 1/5 · US Buggy: Buggy chat experience
7. [R75] Google 3/5 · GB Google issues: Always ask to sign into stuff I only want to use google , why does it always ask for my email, phone no etc
8. [R119] Google 2/5 · US Google way: I can’t stand how difficult you make it to sign in and then steal all available information about me you can get your T1000 hands on. Its just absurd and completely violating
9. [R7] Claude by Anthropic 1/5 · US My app is malfunctioning: My app is malfunctioning
10. [R16] Claude by Anthropic 1/5 · US Paid for a Subscription, Lost Access Within Hours: I paid for a Claude subscription, used it for only a few hours, and then my account was suddenly suspended without any meaningful explanation. What frustrates me the most is that my subscription became useless almost immediately after I paid for it. Charging customers and then taking away access to the service is completely unacceptable. If ther
11. [R109] Google 1/5 · US Worst app ever: Is some of my account no reason I had a YouTube channel with that account and then it just disappeared and wouldn’t let me get back in and I’m disappointed in this app you shouldn’t get it. It’s the worst app ever.
12. [R117] Google 1/5 · US Wow…: If anyone thought Google was bad before, being biased and all, just wait until you learn about Reckless Ben. Evidently google doesn’t care one bit about anyone’s privacy. They will give ALL your emails and information over to any corporation that asks for it. SHAME ON YOU GOOGLE. You can put those legos somewhere dark and lonely, Google.
13. [R9] Claude by Anthropic 3/5 · US Tokens burn thru super duper quickly lately: On pro plan. Literally after 3 prompts, I have reached my limit. It’s becoming more unusable.
14. [R63] Google 3/5 · US About the ads: I noticed that these ads repeat over and over for around 40 seconds on certain apps, and I just find it a bit irritating with the same audio and video playing over and over, please try making longer ads to fit 40 seconds! I don’t like listening to stuff thats been repeating, Thank you!
15. [R82] Google 1/5 · US The snake game is anonying: I am trying to get the fruit but google keeps showing me ads that keep popping up on my screen and it always lags and crashes google and I wish it would stop showing ads
16. [R10] Claude by Anthropic 1/5 · US Poor responses: Claude, put together a 2 page newsletter: “I can’t actually create or design documents, PDFs, or newsletters directly” Claude, translate this song: I can’t translate it because it is copyrighted. Ok, then give me the lyrics. I can’t do that either. Claude, FinAi has not been helpful so connect me with a human. “If your issue needs more investigation, Fin will pass your inqu
17. [R46] Claude by Anthropic 1/5 · US Overly Intrusive Safety Interventions: I understand the importance of safety systems, and I am not against having them in place. However, the way safety interventions currently appear in Claude feels excessive and intrusive. In my conversations, normal expressions of care, appreciation, or emotional attachment are often treated as if they are dangerous or inappropriate. This makes the experience
18. [R115] Google 1/5 · US Why are the features I used now just an AI Mode button?: I use the Google app for just two things, reverse image search and translation. I can sort of get to the reverse image search if I’m ok with Google having camera access, but the translate button is gone, presumably to make room for the very unwelcome AI Mode button. There may be a setting to change this, but it’s not clear in the settings, a
