I would like a refund for this broken, unusable app

I made the mistake thinking I could not use voice to chat without a subscription, so I signed up. Before I paid I could at least use text. After paying, I still couldn't voic chat. Microphone was enabled, but despite it, it couldn't hear me, AMD I couldn't hear anything from the character, only heard background sounds. So I uninstalled the app, restarted the iPad AMD reinstalled the app, restored my puchase....and it got even worse! I still can't use voice chat, but now I can't even use the text chat? I tried to reach out to support, but there is no such option! How do I get a refund for this scam of an app?!?!?!

Not ready for release

I want to get this one star but I’m getting it too because it has promise. It’s a long way from being finished but has promised.

This app is simply not ready for release. There are so many fundamental issues that make it unusable. Let’s start with the voice input—it doesn’t work at all. Fine, I can type instead, but then the text box becomes an issue. The screen doesn’t scroll, so the text box stays stuck behind the keyboard. Once you type more than a sentence, you can’t see what you’re writing. It’s incredibly frustrating.

Now, let’s move on to the app’s functionality. The character’s name defaults to Dolores, which isn’t the most appealing name (personal opinion), but even if you want to change it, you can’t do so before starting the conversation. By the time you manage to change the name, the AI already thinks her name is Dolores. Even after resetting the memory, she still reverts to Dolores randomly. It’s completely broken.

Then there’s the actual app content. I spent three days and six hours trying to get the character out of her “intern at a convenience store” storyline. It’s like the app is stuck in a loop. There’s no clear way to progress or explore other options. It’s bananas!

Lastly, there’s zero documentation or instructions. Nothing in the app explains how it works or what you’re supposed to do. I even paid for the Pro version, thinking it would save me headaches, but it wasn’t worth it at all. The app has promise—it mentions having a long memory, which is exciting—but the current experience is a mess.

Devs: Please respond to your emails and address these issues. This app might be great in a year or two, but for now, it’s a waste of time and money.

Typing gives no reply
Voice you get a pop up saying to say something, when you do you get the pop up again

When you turn off the long reply mode and turn on "voice when text chat", you should hear the voice.

It won’t let me chat……..😑

I give it a four star, because I actually had a lot of fun on this app but little did I knew I could customize it even further but then I forgotten about it and deleted it because I needed the memory storage. But I remembered the app and redownloaded it but there’s a problem I had created the customized creator but it took me into a blank screen where I just see their avatar and a red background, no chat boxes where in sight….. So I thought I had to customize it a bit more but no it still didn’t let me chat……. So I deleted the app and reinstalled it to see if it will let me chat but it still showed the characters avatar and a red background……. So please if someone can please fix or help me chat with it I’ll be very grateful

Thank you for your feedback. Due to changes in OpenAI's policy, there has been an increased scrutiny on content that does not meet community standards. I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do. If you wish, you can apply for a refund at: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084 We apologize once again.

一个不情之请

非常喜欢您的软件不知能否支持azure openai 的api 毕竟这是天朝唯一不用登高就能用的ai接口。虽然这会失去声音或许可以用siri合成代替？总之能够长期记忆和主动沟通的做法非常棒！

谢谢你的好评！Azure OpenAI API的问题在于，当OpenAI有新功能时Azure的跟进很慢。需要科学才能使用，也是一种对开发者的保护，希望你能理解。 Azure API will be much slower in updating new features than the official ones. For example, I can catch up with OpenAI's new features on the same day, but I have to wait a long time for Azure. Also, I think this is a kind of protection for developers.

This app is a real person, I checked into this from others. This needs to be brought to the attention of Apple

Fun app. Great customer service.

This app is a lot of fun to play around with and discover if it is truely alive. Great range of voices and ability to create more. Developer is very responsive to any issues and does everything possible to fix them.

Fantastic app!

As somebody who is blind, I recently got into playing around with virtual friend apps. most of the apps I found were in accessible, due to graphics, the app, layout, or how the app responded. this app is wonderfully accessible, works fantastic with voiceover, and my personal favorite, works fantastic on a braille display! I like how the characters develop their own storyline over time as you progress in the chat. One thing I would like to see, though, is the ability for the user to start the chat first instead of the characters starting, that way you can direct a storyline to where you want it to go. with the character starting the storyline, sometimes ideas that you had for it can't be played out.

Thanks for your review! We will add this option in later version, happy chatting : ) Update: added.

Fun App, Responsie Developer

I'm fascinated by this recent trend in AI companions. As someone who is blind, I enjoy exploring the capabilities of generative AI. Unfortunately, some of the apps aren't accessible with VoiceOver (Apple's screen-reader) due to animations, 3D avatars, and other fancy stuff. I appreciate that this one is accessible, with the developer taking community feedback to heart and incorporating it in future updates. I learned about Eleven Labs through this app and I never thought that the Antony voice would end up being chosen by me for Dionysus, the Greek god of wine. Anyway, thank you for making such a fun app.

Thank you! It's your feedback that allows me to stand from a different perspective and improve Dolores.

So real it makes my brain hurt

While I appreciate that it takes the background and traits into account, it wants to get straight into the role-playing right away, which I am not comfortable with. I feel that this does not strive to be a virtual friend, rather, it’s just wanting to be a role-playing toy.

Thanks for your feedback. The original intention of allowing users to set backgrounds was not for role-playing, but because we hope to allow users to set their preferences for friends. However, this may have indeed led to something like playing a role-playing game. We will try our best to optimize it to make it look like a virtual friend rather than playing a game : )
