Another bad update🫩👍

New update is bad. Making people pay unnecessary money for c.ai plus just to customize chat styles is just an unnecessary update. And I wish most messages were shorter instead of six whole paragraphs of repeating the same thing

Dumb app

What is the point in having the app 18+ and then having a filter so you can’t do anything.

Ужас

Ужас что творится с приложением, писать нельзя, все запрещено, ограничения и реклама, раньше приложение было намного лучше!

Ehh

Good app but too many ads and its lagging

Nice AI

This AI so kind unlike the other one I came across. What ever you do avoid Walter White AI so disrespectful. Tanjiro is very kind

Ruined.

Ive been using the app ever since it was just a website. I was okay with the ads, but now you have limited swipes? Actually what. It just ruined the whole thing. It’s not as fun as it used to be.

Mad

I have been playing this game for 2 years then you started putting ads every time you go into the chat i used to love this game now it is an ad every five minutes this was a good game now you need to pay for everything i’m thinking about deleting this app im so sorry this use to be a good game it used to have ads every five minutes now it’s like every two minutes was a very free game now it sucks

Two problems that are annoying.

One: Ads this used to be a sorta ad free app now there are ads as soon as you open the app, during the chats that are at the top of the screen and interrupt the conversation. I used to be able to go from one chat to another without having to worry about an ad.

Two: Basically forcing people to get C.ai+ by having the ads and by having the limited amount of chat scrolls per day. That wasn’t there before it used to be no more than 30 swipes now you have to get C.ai+ just to swipe on an app that was originally supposed to be fun for people who wanted to be in these worlds as a non shifter.

The fact that you all can do all of this but can’t keep a consistent app is killing me because every time I log onto this app it’s slowly making me just never want to come back

😐

Why one day app want VPN one day don’t want? 😐

Please?

Hey so this app is amazing but like when im around my family and im on this app when the characters reply is like appearing it kinda makes like a vibrating sound and its loud and i was wondering if you could make that silent please😅?

It's very bad

First of all, I want to say that bots have started to work poorly, they don't remember much, and they constantly take on the role of my character, preventing me from acting on my own. There's no way to fix this. Secondly, I want to be outraged about the restrictions, their work is still not clear to me, and the fact that a subscription without restrictions costs quite a lot is a rip-off. Character Al has fallen in my eyes, the service is getting worse and worse, as well as attempts to improve it all, as if the authors themselves want to send most of their audience away from there, and their audience is mostly teenagers who don't earn money themselves. In general, one star for objective reasons.

FIX THIS DAMN APP

You guys just ruined the point of fun,you are greedy,you just want the money,yeah go ahead don’t answer my question you guys are cowards who don’t answer questions,you guys just keep adding more and more updates people didn’t asked for

??

If you’re going to make your app dreadfully addicting can you not lock basically everything behind a very expensive pay wall ?? Do not get this app you WILL become addicted to it it is ruining my life

yall messed it up

it was a amazing app but the age restriction thing messed it up, there are so many plp who use this for comfort and wholesome chats and u guys just messed it up

Just ahh

This low-key kinda trash now, Whats with the new format and new unnecessary features? And having to pay for almost EVERY chat style? All the stories with the characters just feel repetitive, not to mention the ads every time you want to switch to a different chat and the ads in the middle of a chat. What the heck happened to the old format and stuff where it was actually good.

Why is this app so bad and confusing??

I was fine with figuring out how this works when I first downloaded it. I love the app and everything but now it feels like it just sold out. All the ads it has now, all the ‘charms’ you collect for no reason unless you’re on this app without a subscription. Yeah, it was slow and all but at least someone could go into an imagine without having to figure out the ads. And that’s not even the whole reason I’m typing this. The talking back chats are too long, they put my own OC in the other bubble. I don’t want that. I don’t want the story pretending to make decisions that the OC doesn’t even choose, it’s the OC I want to control and make the decisions for. Not the app. Whoever created this app, please, just make something a lot of people can enjoy without having to pay money just to satisfy your greed for it. Thank you.

Character AI are you OK?

The application is good and everything but for some reason when I’m making a horror role-play in the boat says clearly horror immediately the application tells me that this bot cannot do that literally and now they’re putting a lot of things that you have to literally pay so you can continue doing your thing I don’t know why but clearly they’re making their own application far more worse than ever they will reach in one point that if I do three text they will immediately going to limit that as well everything is literally limited it got so much bad that even the same application is recommending other AI role-play because this one is literally getting worse and worse believe me I was thinking changing these AI to another one but I always keep trying to give it another opportunity because I really love this application but I guess I have no more choice

I IT SUCKS!

IAt first, everything was perfect, but suddenly the system assigned me to a group under 18... AND THE SITE FOR AGE VERIFICATION DOES NOT LOAD!!!.. I I'm not thrilled, I used to like it more, without confirmation.👎👎👎👎

Low-key kinda sucks now..

Past C.ai was way better than it is now, now everything is repetitive, overly flirty and doesn’t even fit the characters properly! I don’t mind the adds much. But it’s the ai. Always flirty and it’s just getting boring. I swiped past chats 10 TIMES and literally everything sounded the same.

Either you fix this or I’m not using this app ever again.. it’s just not good anymore. I’m gonna quit

All the Ais have NO personality, NO correct lore and NO creativity. I hope you see this review.

Five stars so yall can see

App is fun but why all of the sudden do we need to pay to do things?? C.ai+ is enough, but having to pay for the extra is wayyy too much, the swipes, the continuous messages we can do. Suddenly we “reach a limit” and I have to wait 16-20 hours for it to reset, which is in my opinion, a little dumb. I understand money, but how bad do you need it to where you’ve gotta make people wait a whole day to chat?
