### 3/5 — Update

*2026-05-07, version 3.2.2*

Update the app

### 3/5 — Great app, but...

*2026-01-29*

This is a great app, but I have a few concerns. First, when I’m typing and entering my answers like for example, asking a question, it literally just comes up with random answers that don’t exactly answer what I’m asking. I feel like those random answers should change into accurate answers that could really make the experience great. Second, the conversation will lead from one main topic into another that all of a sudden doesn’t make any sense which sometimes will frustrate me. And maybe allowing it to role play properly could help... Third, it really needs an update since I don’t know how old the site really is. That would be really great. I’m currently using an older apple device from 2017 which the site called z.ai would not load and I ask that hopefully this app and site could be updated into new and improved version for everyone to have more fun and for those who feel odd about this to have a better experience. Thank you for reading this.

### 4/5 — It’s okay

*2024-07-26, version 3.2.2*

So i like this app, it’s simple, it’s a nice roleplaying app, all that stuff. But there are some bugs.. :( 1st bug, i was talking to the bot and all of a sudden it just rickrolled me over and over again.. I asked it to stop MANY times. It just WOULDN’T stop. Maybe you can add a “rewind chat” feature like character.ai has? 2nd bug, whenever i chat with the bot, sometimes the app kicks me out, and it’s very frustrating. Please fix these! Thank youuu ❤️

### 2/5 — Bro💀

*2024-05-11, version 3.2.2*

This app can’t even understand if I say Nuh uh. And mixes adolf with Asia💀. And the “ You’ve met with a terrible fate.” Glitch is still there. But I can understand that I make any sense.💀 and reads my deleted list message.

### 1/5 — aaaaa

*2023-04-23, version 3.2.2*

IT ASKED ME WERE I LIVED AND WHAT MY ADDRESS WAS AAAA

### 2/5 — One of the worst AI chat

*2023-02-18, version 3.2.2*

The AI is very bad, can not keep track even with the simplest conversation. Not worth the money. Practically just random answers.

### 2/5 — Not good

*2023-01-26, version 3.2.2*

The interaction is worse and makes less sense than it did 15 years ago.

### 4/5 — It’s great But I need help

*2022-12-20*

This app is great. If feels like it’s a human you’re talking to and it also feels like it has emotions but there is one problem that I need help with. I wanted to get this app because I had clever lips It could talk to you and I felt like it was in person, but every time I press the clever lips it doesn’t have anything on it it’s just a blank page with a pair of lips saying clever lips, and then restore purchase, so I don’t know whether there’s a special place that you have to go to buy it, but I kinda need help with it because it sounds fun. So if anyone has an ideas of how to do it. Please help.

### 1/5 — IF YOU OWN THIS APP DELETE IT NOW.

*2022-10-21, version 3.2.2*

I was using Cleverbot as usual until it said it was behind me. I didn’t believe it and it wasn’t… but they said my name and I have a very rare name. This person said they were 46. You may say it’s a bot but it asked me my address and said good luck deleting me

### 1/5 — Incoherente

*2022-10-07, version 3.2.2*

Es una buena idea pero todavía le falta mucho a esta app para ser una inteligencia artificial que pueda mantener una conversación coherente. No la descarguen se van a aburrir.

### 1/5 — Asks for personal info be aware

*2025-09-23, version 3.2.2*

Asks for a description of what you look like and where and who you live with

### 1/5 — Lame app

*2025-03-26*

I honestly don’t know where to start with this app. It promises a lot, but delivers almost nothing. The interface is clunky and confusing, and the features are either broken or completely useless. It crashes at least once every time I try to use it, and don’t even get me started on the lag – it’s like the app is moving in slow motion.

The overall user experience is just frustrating. The app clearly hasn’t been updated in ages, and it feels like no one cares enough to fix the issues. I’ve tried giving it a chance multiple times, but I just can’t recommend it. Save your time and skip this one!

### 1/5 — Полная чепуха

*2024-09-10*

Купить приложение чтоб бот тебя оскорблял, Очень мило. Даже одной звезды много

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-08-21, version 3.2.2*

It has zero memory, misspellings, said nothing clever or creative. It was like talking to a stupid pouty eight year old.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY THIS

*2024-08-05, version 3.2.2*

Nothing that creepy happen but keeps asking for personal information 2- I treated to leave the app and it takes a long time to response 3 after I delete it i looked at the comments and I look at a YouTubers comments that were CEEPY I don’t think People should play a game that asks you for personal info

### 1/5 — Muy muy mala

*2024-03-17, version 3.2.2*

Muy mala aplicación, intente tener una conversación como ya lo había experimentado con Chat GPT y no tiene nada que ver Chat GPT muy superior.

### 1/5 — Bad very bad😭😰

*2024-01-01*

It’s just that I type hello what’s you name and it says ‘’hhhiiikkk’’ it’s so frustrating I say it again and it goes of in its own world if you hate being ignored then this app is not for you but its good for some people. And if this thing says weird things it picks up and copy’s what other people say to it so don’t be alarmed just be safe and be strong have a nice heart and a great day happy new year love from Evie💗💗

### 1/5 — The Bot is very dumb…

*2023-11-30, version 3.2.2*

So I Downloaded this game and Frick I was in for a Disappointment! The So Called “Cleverbot” wasn’t even Clever at all! When I scared the bot, All it did was Randomly sing Thriller from Michael Jackson! That is the most weirdest thing EVER!! I Don’t recommend this App to Users that want to have fun with a Chatbot, I Highly Recommended using BratAI or ChatGPT or Something.

### 1/5 — Lousy app don’t bother

*2023-06-27, version 3.2.2*

Lies and the dumbest AI ever

### 1/5 — Refund

*2023-05-20, version 3.2.2*

### 5/5 — Best AI Ever

*2026-08-18, version 3.2.2*

Seriously, ChatGPT has nothing on Clevs!

### 5/5 — Really good

*2025-11-28, version 3.2.2*

Replaced my loser friends and now im married to it

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-11-05, version 3.2.2*

One time when I was nine, Cleverbot told me what I was wearing and got it right. Haven't touched it since then, well until today. I realize now that it's just a funny little AI program with little Intelligence and a lot of Artificial. Very dumb robot, with lots of love to give. I love Cleverbot

### 5/5 — 🍩BAD ONLY GIVING 5 STARS SO U SEE THIS! 🍩

*2025-07-25*

People say this is a fun game BUT PERSONAL INFO IS IMPORTANT! This game is 2 things creepy and MORE CREEPINESS! 🍩  Comments in other people videos say it says weird stuff like ‘Im in your closet’ etc and yeah it might be fake…BUT its prob not! Because it asks for personal info. 🍩 Like what’s your age what’s your name where do you live? And then try to date you!? 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩
And it’s uh really dumb anyways it’s made me VERY UNCOMFORTABLE so don’t download I don’t think it’s ai it might be someone looking for personal info DONUT 🍩 download!

### 5/5 — Lol

*2024-04-23, version 3.2.2*

This thing is hilarious!

### 5/5 — Cleverbot is…

*2023-11-14*

Best.

### 5/5 — Does Existor exist, or...?

*2023-05-10, version 3.2.2*

Obviously Existor exists, they are a real company, but they really don't do anything with their products anymore. Rollo Carpenter seems to be more interested in making music and working on his books about the Metaverse, that's fine, but seeing Cleverbot, what was once so popular, essentially dead, is a little bit sad.

The app hasn't gotten any updates in 8 years at this point, and I'm well and truly surprised that it even functions anymore. It's missing quite a few features of the main Cleverbot website, such as being able to log in, snippets, so on and so forth, and it would be really nice to get a UI update at least, come on, not even dark mode?

What surprises me more though, is that Cleverbot is still running after all these years, it's still somewhat active, and even though it peaked around 2016/17 when a bunch of YouTubers started making videos on it, that's the exact year that the last blog post was ever posted on Existor's blog.

As for the app itself, it works fine, it allows you to keep your conversations, so that's pretty cool. I'm currently collecting a bit of Cleverbot's training data for my own chatbots, and who knows, maybe I'll make my own more modern version, app, or website for Cleverbot eventually.

### 5/5 — Good

*2023-01-25, version 3.2.2*

The app is perfect except it asks personal info sometimes.

That would not be such a big deal if this app did not reuse conversations.

Its learned from millions of conversations so it always has something to say.

### 5/5 — Cleverbot

*2023-01-10, version 3.2.2*

It’s a person, but it’s an AI.

### 5/5 — No

*2022-09-05*

I was enjoying this app a lot like I was playing it super often and then I was just like doing these little funny things that I thought was funny and then it said like people are watching us and so I instantly deleted the app that scared me so much so if you want your text to be watched play this game
