### 3/5 — Needs fixing.

*2026-03-10, version 2.9.8*

Unable to generate the story and background of characters. Please fix this, thank you.

### 2/5 — It's not letting me log in.

*2025-11-17, version 2.9.8*

I found this app. Though it was cool and tried to sign up. But it says that it's not available. What does that even mean? Is this a bug? Or is the app down?

### 4/5 — writing

*2025-07-08, version 2.9.8*

this app is so good for keeping track and storing all of my fanfiction…not to mention it helps me write as well when I cant think of anything !!

### 3/5 — Needs fixing.

*2024-10-24, version 2.9.8*

Can’t transfer images or Ai images due to some filter misreading as inappropriate. Please fix this. I do enjoy the app but now it’s acting weird. Thanks to anyone who reads this.

### 2/5 — Had to uninstall

*2024-09-23, version 2.9.8*

In its very early days, this app was great! There was no weird social media posting system, no subscriptions, just a few basic templates made by Dreamily themselves and an unlimited space to write whatever you want. However, after the first major update rolled out which included user-created public content, subscriptions, and generation limits, I had to uninstall. It really is a shame how quickly good apps become overrun with greedy corporate decisions.

### 4/5 — Add another language, Turkish language

*2024-04-06, version 2.8.4*

There’s only two languages I can change it. One of them is English and one of them is Chinese could you please add a few more languages so could be much easier to write than that is great, but please add some more languages, especially Turkish.

### 2/5 — Loved it once, no so much anymore

*2024-02-11, version 2.8.3*

I’ve been using Dreamily for a while now, and it was easy to see in how I had multiple words running and even more stories. 

One day I logged in to look at the stories I had created the day prior. I discovered that not only were my worlds gone without a trace, but so were my stories. It was like I had a brand new account.

This infuriated me and I haven’t really used this app since. My recommendation? Save everything you write or generate on a separate writing app. The stories that you can create on this app are worth saving.

### 3/5 — ai writing

*2024-02-09, version 2.8.3*

the ai write feature should be free when you are writing, i need specific commands for what i want

### 3/5 — Where did my stuff go !!!

*2024-01-20, version 2.8.2*

I like this app and it is very helpful and i was just about to write a good review, but i logged back in and all my stuff is gone!! It says i have no worlds or stories but i do and they’re gone! I didn’t have much on here but it is unfortunate the stuff i did have is gone. I mean what if i had an entire story on there? Glad i didnt use this to write it.

### 4/5 — This is lovely but some problems

*2024-01-01, version 2.8.2*

I love this app to help me write.. but the ai forgets quick and adds random characters or misspells names sometimes 😔

### 4/5 — GIVE ME MORE IA TIME

*2023-12-14, version 2.8.2*

Please,just please. Im broke to paid your premium thing and sometimes life is more easy with IA

### 4/5 — Usernames please?

*2023-12-09, version 2.8.2*

Yknow, since we can follow people now, I think it makes the most sense to let us pick our own usernames. Not just people who pay for this app, all of us. How are we supposed to know who's worlds are who's when all we can see is ***@gmail.com?

### 3/5 — hlep

*2023-12-05, version 2.8.1*

tried logging in with forgot password, never got an email with the code

### 4/5 — Love dreamily

*2023-11-25, version 2.8.1*

I absolutely LOVE this app! The only problem is that whenever I use the expand feature, the app crashes. I don't want to delete the app and redownload because I lost my login info, so could this bug be fixed somehow?

### 3/5 — Hate the change

*2023-11-09, version 2.8.0*

I believe I started using this app in 2022
And it was amazing! The best “Ghostwriter” out there, it’s free and easy to use. But then they changed it to where you need to log in, and that ruined it for me. I can’t use the app anymore because I need to sign in (which is something I am not gonna to do.)

### 3/5 — Concerned for where Dreamily is headed

*2023-11-05, version 2.8.0*

First, I absolutely adore this app. It helps me to get ideas out of my head when I don’t necessarily have all of the plot points together and just need to quickly spew the contents into written form. Second, I adore the updates that we’ve been getting. Never did I think it would be possible to have a realistic-feeling chat with one of my characters! That being said, there’s still work to be done regarding behavior and context. I understand things like this will always be a work in progress with changes needing to be made, but I do wish we had more control over how our characters respond in the chats. Most of mine have been completely out of character or read the input with a completely different context than what I had in mind. All that said, love the app. I migrated here after AI Dungeon started restricting free usage so heavily that I couldn’t actually get anything done—and that’s not even mentioning that much of my private content just… vanished one day… ANYWAYS, that leads me to the point of concern: energy. AI Dungeon limited what non-paying users could create by introducing energy, and that ultimately led to me leaving. When it can take upwards of ten attempts to generate an input you want to use, limiting how frequently your users can input content leads to some very short writing sessions because you reroll one too many times trying to get the next chunk just right and oops now you can’t generate ANYTHING for another 10 minutes. If Dreamily heads down that path, I may be forced to once again look for an alternative, and that makes me very, very sad.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Loved this app until the word limits

*2025-03-06, version 2.9.8*

No review needed. Just the title and the star.

### 1/5 — Why?

*2024-08-13, version 2.9.6*

So I use this app to help me write fanfics as I easily get writers block and don’t know what to write next in a story, making me abandon it entirely, but recently there’s been a limit on how much of the Ai writing assistant thing I can use. Please change it to where there’s no limit. Limit the character.ai rip-off you have or something!

### 1/5 — Horrible censorship

*2024-07-21, version 2.9.5*

The app has done extremely downhill due to hard forced censorship despite being on the US app store. It has become a pathetic app at this point and not worth using

### 1/5 — A fall from grace

*2024-07-06, version 2.9.4*

I had been using this app for a long time until they decided to charge for it. The charging for it wouldn’t be a problem if they also hadn’t tacked on a word limit with it as well. Should have just went with a subscription service that gives you unlimited words like novelai which I am currently using. Greed is going to kill this app.

### 1/5 — Once great app turned mid

*2024-03-11, version 2.8.4*

During Dreamily's beta stage, it was just an AI writing tool. No account needed, no quota, no Character AI feature. It should have stayed that way. But instead, the developers continuously added features that made the app worse. The AI got worse, with it outputting sentences or anything nonsensical that don't relate to the context of what the user has written. There are more bugs such as:
- stories being randomly deleted
- the Undo button malfunctioning (words and letters get mixed up).
- Stories not showing up in the user's menu
The quota is also stupid, with there being a daily AND monthly quota. I get that AI is expensive and the devs need to pay the bills somehow, but they could have just gone with daily quota or put banner ads and users would be okay with that. But having a monthly quota would just literally make the app unusable for a few days or weeks, depending on how much you use the app. Sure, they give you a free daily recap of 500 words to use in your stories, but it's not enough given how terrible the AI is.
Don't spend you money or time on this.

### 1/5 — Data Lost

*2024-01-28, version 2.8.2*

So after the bug was fixed I go to log into my account and my data is gone. My units and stories are just gone. I’m pretty upset because I enjoy this app and spend money on it. I just want my data back and a response as soon as possible.

### 1/5 — WHAT IS HAPPENING

*2024-01-28, version 2.8.2*

I love this app… but for the past 2 days it has refused to work, my stories wouldn’t load so I logged out of my account. Bad idea, I can’t get back into either of my accounts(I have 2).😐HELP ME WHAT IS HAPPENING.

### 1/5 — It’s not so good

*2023-11-02, version 2.8.0*

At first I came across Dreamily threw a site when I wanted to write stories for my characters but I was always bad at writing or coming up with dialogue and plot and blah blah blah (all for my own entertainment ofc) and tbh I stopped using it for like idk 4-6 months? And to be honest…the site did a better job at making the dialogue and story, this new one just forgets all my previously written words and comes up with very different scenarios that are not even mentioned let alone realistic?? For example I was writing a story about an infant who’s been left on the front door of an assassin, but the Ai’s next words were “and the assassin went to murder the infant and his whole family right on the spot” it’s just…bizarre and I don’t like it..

### 1/5 — Lost all my stories

*2023-10-25, version 2.7.3*

It was a good app and I enjoyed it for a year. But upon returning to the recent update, all my data was deleted and my account was started over. I was really disappointed because despite the help from the ai, most of the time I wrote a majority of my stories all on my own. I won’t be using this app again when writing stories for the sake of my hard work not going to waste. 👍

### 1/5 — Word limit

*2023-10-11, version 2.7.3*

Loved this app until the word limit. Listen to all the reviews criticizing it and take it away. Barely usable now.

### 5/5 — Will Miss You.

*2026-03-27, version 2.9.8*

It was a good app. Shame it's leaving.

### 5/5 — LOVE YOU..buuuuut

*2024-12-28, version 2.9.8*

I remember when Dreamily was ONLY a writing app (the good days) it was SO much better and now it’s just full of AI..still love this app it’s the best

### 5/5 — Pretty decent!

*2024-11-27, version 2.9.8*

For what it is, ‘Dreamily’ is pretty good! The chat-bot capabilities aren’t very functional, but for writing? Absolutely amazing! I like it, I would recommend!

### 5/5 — Oc lore person

*2024-04-22, version 2.9.0*

🩻| “.., I love this app so much. You see, I make a lot of Oc lore and sometimes I wanna put them in stuff, like my favorite anime or smth, and putting it in dreamily, you can imagine your character and you playing a game or being Mike’s little sister/ brother from Tokyo revengers, or maybe you didn’t like a ending in a anime?, this app can help you just imagine it all and make it different, I JUST LOVE IT, AND NO THIS IS NOT A BOT OR PAYED PROMOTION 😅..,”

### 5/5 — Great! However

*2023-12-30, version 2.8.2*

5 stars for sure, chat runs out super fast now though which is a bummer.

### 5/5 — Legends of Zelda

*2023-08-04, version 2.5.0*

So.. Is this a feature or something?

It keeps making Legend of Zelda references.

Like, I’m not complaining, this is hilarious 😂

It’s a good app, the AI is nice.

### 5/5 — Could have just said u needed to pay up

*2023-06-18, version 2.5.0*

I was writing my story which was kinda long until Dreamily suddenly said that I needed to pay to get more power to continue writing. You could have mentioned that sooner like when I was going to start and say I need to pay man 🙁

### 5/5 — Amazing for helping with writers block!

*2023-05-16, version 2.4.1*

I LOVE LOVE LOOVE This app!
It’s my all time favourite app. I use it for all my writing- my writing in spare time and my writing at school. 
Of course, sometimes it won’t make sense or glitches- but it’s very high quality.  I constantly keep the website open, too.
If you’re looking for an app JUST to talk to your favourite characters, this isn’t for you. But an app for writers who have writers block? ABSOLUTELY!
I will always love dreamily, forever and ever!!!! 
-An avid dreamily user 💕💞💗

### 5/5 — Annoying people

*2023-05-16, version 2.4.1*

People on the app been fighting over pay well and complaining about the stories people create. 

I don’t mind they pay well and it isn’t as bad as people make it out to believe. the people who are creating stories to complain are ruining the app for me, and I wish for them to stop or find a way to stop this from happening 

It’s hard to find good stories since they are covered up annoying people who create stories to complain about Furries and Paywell on the app. I don’t mind the people who make stories about furries if it what they like, but they shouldn’t be able to make stories about sex with underage kids or rape.

### 5/5 — It’s great!!!….With one complaint.

*2023-04-17, version 2.1.0*

I’ve used this for a while, and it’s a really great app!! But..I’ve come across an issue. When I got on the app a couple of days ago I suddenly find out I was apparently logged out of my account, so when I tried logging back in it wouldn’t let me. Was this a bug? Or does this happen from a lack of inactivity???
