And fix your discord link too. ### 2/5 — Review *2026-03-29, version 2.0.8* I really, really want to love this app, it look amazing, and the chats look really fun, but every time I send a message the chat freezes, I’m not sure if this is a problem with my phone or with the app and I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling, I’ve tried shutting down and restarting my phone. Ive seen really good reviews for this app and would love to give it a fair chance ### 4/5 — Great Overall-One problem *2026-03-04, version 2.0.8* I’m enjoying the app's new update. Much easier to input information and edit characters. I’ve just recently had trouble creating characters. After inputting the character's info, it would load but never develop the character. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app several times, but ended with the same result. As with the new update, I’d send a chat but the ai chat would only load and buffer; not reply. ### 3/5 — Please fix *2026-02-23, version 2.0.8* For a while, it was really good and made really good replies and I paid the minimum for unlimited, but since the last update, a lot of the responses have been really glitchy and really random and have nothing to do with it and sometimes will have like random Chinese characters or just like weird buggy text and it made me think for a while that almost like it got hacked or something, but it’s been really strange since the new update and I think they need to go in there and fix some things and then it will probably go back to being better again but until then all I can do is give it three stars at the most cause you have to reload the responses multiple times to get anything coherent ### 4/5 — It’s getting somewhere! *2026-02-20, version 2.0.8* I think this app is a lot of fun if you like PolyBuzz you’ll like this to . I super appreciate the adult atmosphere it has. I also love the creating process and tools! And the voices are super good and provide multiple languages which is awesome! It just feels really to create a character here and not feel limited at all. But there is alot of bugs to many to really list ### 2/5 — It's good compared to others, but *2026-02-12, version 2.0.8* So, this is a pretty good app compared to PolyBuzz and others. But this is way more glitchy... Like I have to reload the whole app due to glitching with chats. It is also a bit annoying we have to pay for infinite texting but like others the bot is actually smart and replies well. Edit: I've been using premium for a while but after the new changes to chat styles only slow burn was working right. Now all of them are buggy, and slow burn is also bugging out. Ultra legit makes random words up and a bunch of letters on their own. ### 1/5 — Take away limits please this just makes this app not fun or make people actively *2025-12-30, version 2.0.8* Take away limits I want to have to wait 9 hours bro like come on do better please ### 4/5 — I want the adds back again ! *2025-12-28, version 2.0.8* Okay I like the app it’s very very good but the problem is that I got to wait after talking to it like 5 minutes and I have to chat again after 12 hours which makes no sense like, why? And the character randomly changes the plot of the story like WTH? It’ll be much better if you just bring back ads and also work on the memory as well. ### 1/5 — Time limit *2025-12-23, version 2.0.8* What’s does the level up do? And can you make time limits go down with each level up please? Would be really awesome ### 4/5 — Time limit and adding instructions tab *2025-12-21, version 2.0.8* As said about this app, it is very similar to the mix of character.ai and chai.ai but I really wish it didn’t have limited chats or didn’t time out at the smallest thing. Once the limit was off I got back on Carter and I was only on for not even 30 minutes before it immediately timed out again. It’s really annoying, especially in a good rp that you want to continue and your immediate get a 24 hours clock. I also wish there was an instructions tab for the texts so you can tell the bot what you want in there response, like if you want them to say a certain line or want them to include more characters in the story, you just press “add instruction” and you can tell the bot what you want to do. But other than those few things I absolutely love your app and please keep doing great work! ### 4/5 — ads or 19 hours of no use. *2025-12-21, version 2.0.8* The app is great and all after 2 weeks of not using the app I go on use it and usually I’m greeted with watching ads for more messages no, it says 19 HOURS until next use time. I sit there confused wondering when did it change to that it was better off with ADS no 19 whole hours, I’m not saying I have an addiction To the app but half a day for like only 2 or 1 hour of app time? That’s Vile. Update: I go in Carter chat, and no surprise here 7 more hours have been added to my already disgusting 19 hours. 19 hours is a disgrace to chats like character ai, And chai atleast ads can be used but like no adds just 19 hours of no use? Disgrace. Wouldn’t recommend. Like I could understand 2 hours or an hour of break time, for the app but 19? 20? 24 hours? That’s more time for breaks than actual use and yet still there’s bugs in the app? You gotta be kidding me. ### 1/5 — Fix *2025-12-20, version 2.0.8* Please take away limits that just makes us act worse. We shouldn’t need limits to anything. ### 4/5 — actually a good app, honest review: *2025-12-18, version 2.0.8* this app is honestly very fun to use, the main problem in my opinion is the whole limited chats. it ruins the fun of a story but i understand there has to be some form of add so why not integrate a form of way to get rid of the limited chats but still have add time or something? correct me if i’m wrong and again this is a very good app. ### 4/5 — Great Overall-One problem *2025-12-15, version 2.0.8* I’m enjoying the app's new update. Much easier to input information and edit characters. I’ve just recently had trouble creating characters. After inputting the character's info, it would load but never develop the character. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app several times, but ended with the same result. ### 2/5 — Idk what happened *2025-12-14, version 2.0.8* It used to be good when the website was first made but then the made the app and soon after a daily limit was placed on the web to get ppl to download the app and the the daily limit just kept getting smaller and smaller until having a full convo was impossible, the app isn’t that much better bc once you run out of your limit they try and make you pay for premium to keep chatting so there’s really no point in downloading the app unless you plan to pay for it ### 3/5 — great app *2025-12-14, version 2.0.8* i preferred it when it had ads instead of a daily limit tbh ### 2/5 — Please better the app *2025-12-11, version 2.0.8* Carter Chat can make all the ads for TikTok they want by bashing c.ai but at least c.ai follows the original prompts and messages. I decided to give this app a look just to see what was up since they were literally dissing c.ai… and it’s not as good as they think it is. It could be way better and act as more of a competitor with c.ai if they fixed remembering the prior messages/promot. ### 1/5 — … *2025-12-07, version 2.0.8* Why do I have to pay to talk? Little character ai and chai is better then ts. Both unlimited while ts is limited per day. Wtf. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App isn't working for me *2026-05-10, version 2.0.8* It takes me to login then Says it can't find the server and endlessly loads before taking me back to the login screen. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t even work anymore *2026-04-30, version 2.0.8* App won’t load. ### 1/5 — No longer available *2026-04-19, version 2.0.8* They closed down the app. Paid a year subscription prior now unable to use and have only had a few months. Should be prorated the difference. ### 1/5 — Do better please *2026-04-04, version 2.0.8* Characters are not responding back, it’s like I’m texting myself ### 1/5 — Very slow won’t let me use it *2026-03-21, version 2.0.8* I make a character it won’t even reply I’ve tried pre made characters nothing works ### 1/5 — Paid for the whole year *2026-03-04, version 2.0.8* The bots aren’t replying, only endless three dots like they are typing but a response never comes. Dont bother with this app. ### 1/5 — changed bot style? *2026-02-14, version 2.0.8* not sure what has changed but the interactions aren’t fun anymore, the same bots from before don’t interact how they’re supposed to and don’t talk how they did before. memory is terrible. i pay for the subscription and i haven’t even wanted to use the app anymore. corny responses, just weird. ### 1/5 — Memory *2026-02-04, version 2.0.8* Recently memory has been so bad. Literally the prompt is given and you send one message and the ai forgets the entire prompt. This has happened on multiple occasion with different bots. Not sure if it’s a bug or just bad app design. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-01-27, version 2.0.8* I used to love this app but then they added the message limit and I can’t watch ads to get more messages. I mean my wait time was literally 29 hours. 29!!! I’ve been here from the start and they PROMISED unlimited messages FOREVER. Now look at them. Just as greedy as everyone else. Very disappointed they went back on their word. ### 1/5 — Complete scam. *2026-01-18, version 2.0.8* Paid for the premium membership and didn’t receive it. applied for refund and didn’t get that either. waste of $12 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2026-01-26, version 2.0.8* Life fulfillment ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-26, version 2.0.8* It’s awesome I really like it the only thing I wish was that it was fully free or least no waiting to continue conversations other than that this is my favorite app ### 5/5 — It’s good love the app but not so much with the time I have to wait before I can use it again *2025-10-25, version 2.0.4* They should make it how they have chai where you get to message the ball and then it only gives you an ad that you can skip through once it’s halfway done they should start doing that but other than the wait time which is like a whole day I think the apps really fun to use ### 5/5 — Fav app *2025-10-16, version 2.0.3* It’s my fav app but I don’t like how I can’t watch an ad to get more messages. It was an amazing feature imo. ### 5/5 — It good *2025-10-10, version 2.0.3* It good I like the new update but I want a continue button back if you can but overall it great and am will be upset with this for a while ### 5/5 — Low-key good, one problem *2025-09-05, version 1.0.18* Um so like I keep getting a message that says “I cannot do this request” sum shi like that. Or a long text saying it’s not allowed to do something that has nothing to do with what I said. And I wast even doing the boombaya ### 5/5 — I love this app *2025-06-30, version 1.0.15* So before I downloaded this app I looked at the reviews they weren’t so great..but I played anyway this game is awesome for my experience ### 5/5 — Remove the reply limit *2025-06-29, version 1.0.15* Can you fix the issue of not being able to change my profile background? Cause I wanna change it. ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2025-04-21, version 1.0.15* great app but lacks filters for searching for bots 🤖 ### 5/5 — Good *2025-02-19, version 1.0.14* Nice but make a better memory --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
