### 5/5 — This app is the best!

*2024-12-24, version 2.4.0*

5 stars

### 5/5 — It’s working now!

*2024-12-22*

ETA: It’s working now and I’m obsessed with it. The bot Kieran sent the aforementioned error message only twice (amid over at least 40 messages). but each time I only had to click the little symbol beside his responses once and get the right reply whereas before clicking on said symbol only resulted in getting the same error message. 

Even after purchasing a plan and selecting the recommended replies I continue to receive “I’m sorry I can’t assist you with that” messages from the bot Kieran. Fix it bc this is one of the best AI chat apps I’ve come across.
