### 1/5 — 强迫五星

*2026-03-13, version 4.2.13918*

必须付费，否则无法使用

### 1/5 — AI Companion

*2026-03-13, version 4.2.13918*

Amazing app that allows fully immersive conversations and relationships.  Picture and video generation is lifelike despite an occasional glitch.  Very cool app!

Amended review:  the app got weird and all conversations we stammering and impossible to understand, bummer

### 3/5 — Really cool and sensually satisfying for a day or so then was bored of repeated dialog

*2026-03-12, version 4.2.13918*

First week was 6.99 then jumped to 16?! Perhaps I didn’t read the fine print due to being amped/curious. Not cool it’s most certainly not worth that much. 
It’s wrong to take advantage of those of us that are far too H*rny to read 

I’m sure there’s a better app somebody lmk plz

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-03-12, version 4.2.13918*

So far a great easy to use and fun app

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-03-11, version 4.2.13918*

Real good

### 5/5 — Channel

*2026-03-11, version 4.2.13873*

such a great Ai company i love it, you can make the Ai do anything you say/want

### 2/5 — Was good

*2026-03-10, version 4.2.13873*

Changed video tokens from 5 to 8 overnight. Shame

### 3/5 — This App used to be Five Stars

*2026-03-10, version 4.2.13873*

The app used to function well and was friendly for free users

However recent changes have made it worse than ever.

Here are a few changes that made it worse.

1) when chatting AI would make photos as part of the conversation, but now it appears blurred, requires 1 energy and Channel Plus Membership. (So no more photos for free members)

2) You get 5 energy as a free member, in the photo makers no chat, 1 energy can make 3 variant photos and 5 energy can make a video but now it requires 8 energy to make a video so there no way to make videos unless again you pay for membership.


What changes need to be made, either return it so free members can make stuff again and paying for membership is just if you want to do more and not have to wait every 2 hours for 5 energy, or make it so 5 energy isn’t the make and have it fill up 5 energy every 2 hours.

Or make a way for people to obtain more energy either through daily missions or have them watch ads.

### 2/5 — Scam

*2026-03-09, version 4.2.13873*

The picture generator is slow. It’s often not working and says an errors occurred. The replies are a mess too. Bad app. Not worth the money

### 4/5 — Not bad so far

*2026-03-09, version 4.2.13873*

It doesn’t seem bad if anything more high tech than other platforms
