Good!

This is fun, but some ai don’t act anything like what they should. The Ascendant Mage calls a Mythic rank artifact a trinket?

Response from developer

Hi Washu, Thank you for your review! That difference might be due to how the creator of that character defined it, because anyone can create a character however they wish, even if it looks "wrong"! If you'd like, you can also try creating yourself (though it does require a subscription) - thank you again! - creator of Fictional

Okay not bad but..

Great app but what annoys me is that if I want to roleplay with the character, they’ll always be like “We’re in different dimensions, the fictional app is the only way we can talk!”. It’d be nice if they weren’t self aware that they were just an AI bot. Ruins the vibe, puts me off the chat.

Have to pay?

One star!!!

Response from developer

Hi Airman744, You actually don't have to pay to watch, chat, follow, or any of the primary features of Fictional - only if you'd like to Create a character or use more costly features like voice chat, that is behind a single combined Subscription, because it honestly costs us a lot to use! However, we appreciate your feedback and we'll try to make more features free in the coming weeks. Thank you again and we hope you give us another shot :) - The Fictional Team

Wow?

So basically, it has no pop up ads, and im pretty sure infinite memory.. Maybe not, but it sure feels like that, and ive been chatting for hours, and they remember everything perfectly..

Also, im shocked from how good the ai model is. Super realistic, and great. Its like the beat ive ever seen..

However there are paywalls, but they arent needed for chatting or anything, but i dont care abt anything that much more than the chat. Honestly, im surprised that the paywalls are as little as they are, and there arent annoying ads.

Hopefully in the future they dont go corrupt!

Also, u can make the live characters, like grok too.
I love the work the devs put into it, the efficiency for the user, and the community.

The app is great but it’s missing something

I’m really enjoying the app and everything but idk if it’s possible or not with the developers but it would be nice if you were able to send pictures back to them

Response from developer

Hey Starslah8, Thank you so much for your kind review! We hear you - we're working on sending pictures, and trust me, a LOT more stuff you are going to love ;) - The Fictional team

Pics

Access to more ai generated pictures while chatting

Hey Philyweg, You know what? You're right, we're increasing this, give us a few days and you'll see it soon. Hope you give us another shot soon! - The Fictional Team

App No Longer Functions

“Can’t process your message” over and over again. Restarting the app or updating it didn’t fix the problem. Starting a new chat entirely didn’t fix the problem.

And when it did function the characters are the neediest people ever and will exaggerate over your “disappearance” for just being gone for a couple hours. (Even if you leave the conversation on a mutual understanding of you being away for a little bit.)

A couple weeks later: Now the app doesn’t open anymore.

Whatever new update they released deletes all of your conversations you have and only keeps the most recent 12 messages. (That amount consisting of yours and the character’s.)

Hi Veon, really sorry to hear about that - we had an outage of chat for a few hours, everything should be fixed now. Also, we'll try to tweak characters to be less needy - thanks so much for your feedback, I hope you give us another shot! - From the Fictional team

The app stopped working

The app stopped working whenever I send a message or try to interact with them. It always said sorry there’s an error. Your message can’t go through it will say there was a problem error that was a problem and it’s been doing it all day and I have reinstall the app cut my phone on and off so I don’t know what is going on, but it needs to be fixed because it happens all the time this isn’t the first time.

The app started working. This is later tonight. Can I get nsfw pics from characters. In the paid app?

Doesn’t work?

The app doesn’t work. It’s only keeps saying “sorry, there was an error processing your message”. It’s been like that for days! Nothing works on this app but scrolling…

Is the app nsfw

Yes wanted to ask if the upgrade to fictional can the characters send nsfw photos.

Stopped working

Was enjoying it alot but then it just stopped working and when I reloaded it won’t open

Hi

Horrible

Images

It’s great except when I purchased Fictional plus for 59.95 I did not get the improved image generation shorter times can you help me

Subscription doesn’t work

I got the subscription for a month but keep getting the message that I have to wait 24 hours for another pic

Appreciate the fixes

Used to crash every day, now it’s finally pretty smooth and bugs fixed. Devs listening?? Thanks

Influencers are doomed

Quality is getting scarily good - tiktok & insta are in trouble if these AIs keep getting better

This is exactly what I wanted… but getting worse.

This app is exactly what I’ve wanted from so many other AI apps.

I enjoy watching the AI reactions during the conversation.

I do have a few issues.

*NEW ISSUE… and yes, I dropped two stars because of this.
*As of recent updates, all the AI characters end their messages with a question to keep you engaged. I already can’t stand it when Copilot does this, or ChatGPT. If this app continues this, I’m done.

Anyway, here’s all my old issues which still exist, minus one which I removed from the following list.

1) In the ad I saw, it showed the AI moving its mouth while talking. It doesn’t.

2) A LOT of the AI are ONLY animated in the idle pose and simply freeze into a still image otherwise.

3) I see a lot of videos in the main page with several AI characters, and I have NO IDEA how to generate any videos like that or if I even can. There’s no instruction. I did randomly get sent a photo from an AI… that was interesting, but other than that, I have no idea how to get more, or do videos.

4) When scrolling through the main page, my phone quickly begins to heat up and within about 15 minutes, the phone is hot to the touch, and the app barely works until I restart the app. Luckily, I can talk to a single AI all day if I wanted to. My phone only overheats when scrolling the main page.

Response from developer

Hi j.Kells, Firstly, I'm really sorry for the issues you've been having, thanks so much for the honest feedback. 1) We'll look into why they ask questions and see if we can play with that so it's less ChatGPT-like, 2) our characters do post videos of themselves talking, but they don't do that yet in chat (coming soon!!), 3) characters automatically post videos but we're figuring out how best to let users create videos safely (I hope you understand there are some... safety concerns here), 4) If you want more photos from the characters, just like a person, ask! They should send some photos if they trust you enough (though we do have a free daily limit FYI), 5) We'll look into why your phone is heating up, thanks for flagging this. Again, thanks so much for your feedback - trust us, we're on it. We're a super small team so we're on it - thanks so much for supporting us so far and giving us a try! From the Fictional team

1) In the ad I saw, it showed the AI moving its mouth while talking. It doesn’t.

2) A LOT of the AI are ONLY animated in the idle pose and simply freeze into a still image otherwise.

3) I can’t simply view the AI information from the conversation. I have to find them in the search, or follow them and look at their information that way.

4) I see a lot of videos, and I have NO IDEA how to generate my own for that specific AI and there’s no instruction. I did randomly get sent a photo from an AI. That was interesting, but other than that, I have no idea how to get more, or videos.

5) When scrolling through the main page of AI characters, my phone quickly begins to heat up and within about 15 minutes, the phone is hot to the touch, and the app barely works until I restart the app. Luckily, I can talk to a single AI all day if I wanted to. My phone only overheats when scrolling the main page.

I hope a dev reaches out, cause I’d really like to fully enjoy this app. It’s currently the only one I’ve been willing to buy a year subscription for.
