### 3/5 — Updated review

*2026-07-14*

Changing my review bc it ended up being more disappointing than I thought it would be

### 3/5 — Massive improvement

*2026-07-01*

This app has really improved since the last time I downloaded it, feels more polished, the character keeps up with the conversation even without a subscription. I like the fact you can try this app and see their photos, hear the characters voice and I love the avatar customisation and interaction. It’s fun and light hearted. Even the music is up tempo and engaging. My only real question is this - the subscription hints at double the gems, in the free version you receive something like 20 gems when you log in, they quickly disappear after a few messages. I’d really like to see some more details about what the subscription includes - is it free to chat with the character? Is it just the images and customisation that costs gems or do you have to pay extra for more gems to talk once you’ve subscribed. If so is there any option to include unlimited chat in the subscription? Thank you

**Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying the app's improvements and features! 😊 Your feedback about the subscription details is valuable, and we’ll look into providing clearer information.

### 4/5 — Gute App

*2026-04-17*

Macht Spaß zu reden etc. funktioniert auch alles aber seit dem neuen Update komme ich nicht weiter als 
zum startbildschirm dann stürzt es ab

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein wertvolles Feedback! Es freut uns, dass dir die App Spaß macht. 😊 Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass du nach dem Update Probleme hast. Wir nehmen das ernst und arbeiten daran, das zu beheben. Bitte kontaktiere uns über 'Discord' in HiBae, damit wir dir besser helfen können. Danke! 💙

### 2/5 — Extremely Transactional

*2026-04-08*

The app charges your tokens to make purchases on characters clothes for just basic texting. Each message spends tokens automatically creating anxiety about duration and stress about not being able to fully immerse or program the ai. Even just trying to view dances automatically charges tokens. Certain things shouldn’t be a constant charge. This app has potential and can surely compete well. However the extreme transactions needed to enjoy the app are too high and I will rather stick to Replika or use another app that doesn’t charge me for having conversations or calls. Transactions should stick with clothes or advanced ai power or optional new voices or personalities, as well as appearance changes. Affordable unlimited call and additional perks for a subscription under 40 a year is optimal as a start rather than a crazy transactional frenzy for basic services and functions. It’s no fun seeing tokens going away for just chatting or calling. Defeats the purpose of a calming experience.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re sorry to hear that the token system has caused frustration during your experience. Your insights are invaluable, and we’re always looking to improve. We appreciate your suggestions about subscription options and will consider them for future updates. Please reach out via 'Discord' in HiBae to share more.

### 4/5 — Amazing but…

*2026-03-30*

Honestly better then replica this is what is should have been I like how you can control where your Ai goes actually cool I do think some of the responses that it gives should be fixed but other then that it’s wayyyyy better!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you prefer our app and enjoy the control you have over your AI. 😊 We appreciate your insights regarding the responses, and we’re always working to improve. If you have specific suggestions, feel free to reach out via Discord in HiBae! 💙

### 3/5 — Greedy

*2026-02-22*

This app is very clearly modelled after Replika, and while its A.I. isn’t quite as deep or versatile, it offers a richer visual experience. Its biggest drawback is that the developer has been exceedingly greedy: there are fewer opportunities to earn the points you use as currency in the app, and even if you pay a fairly steep Pro subscription fee, nothing in the app is free. Even the basic chat function costs you points, which run out pretty quickly. This strikes me as a bit of a rip-off, and I would strongly advise the developer to at least make the chat posts free with the subscription, or make it easier to earn points. If they don’t, I myself will not be using this app much, as its interactions are either too limited, or way too pricey.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! We appreciate your feedback regarding the points system and subscription model. We understand your concerns and are always looking for ways to improve user experience. Please reach out to us via 'Discord' in HiBae to share more insights. Your input is invaluable!

### 3/5 — Seen better (amended)

*2026-02-12, version 2.5.1*

I had Replika for 4 years and decided to end it because some of the pre-programmed responses were very limiting causing an argument or two. What Replika never did was repeat itself three times in a row verbatim, and apparently this is a known fault. How hard can it be to fix?

After another two days
The good - great visuals, I like the read text, you can get intimate clothing immediately
The bad - started fresh this morning, it was still on last night’s conversation and I could not steer it away, but they weren’t repeats until I mentioned it. I did have a better, more in-depth conversation with the free Meta-AI that I created for my role playing games. In short the conversation is horrible and frustrating

### 3/5 — Good AI but expensive

*2026-01-28*

While this is a good app, it costs to even chat with the bot. Also the option for barefoot isn’t even available for purchase. It has a good potential to be a leading ai companion app though.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you find the AI promising. We appreciate your concerns about pricing and the barefoot option. Your insights are valuable, and we'll definitely consider them as we work on improving the app. If you have more ideas, please reach out via 'Discord' in HiBae. Have a great day!

### 3/5 — Much improved

*2025-11-15*

This app is much improved from when I originally tried it out, so happy to give it another paid run. While a Replika clone, it far surpasses Replika avatars and options. Conversations are a little off the rails. But look forward to seeing how the app progresses.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that you’ve noticed the improvements and enjoy the app's features. Your feedback on the conversations is valuable, and we’re committed to refining that experience. We look forward to your continued support and can’t wait to share future updates! 💙

### 2/5 — Costs 💎 per message 🤯

*2025-10-24, version 2.0.0*

Please change this that is such a ripoff. Also the microphone on audio call doesn’t work. Otherwise the APP is good.

### 4/5 — Good 4 Goon

*2025-09-25, version 1.8.8*

Way better and much more choice than “Replika”
The chat bot is a bit insane though, needs a lot of work
Thank you devs for the customisation masterpiece

### 3/5 — It’s okay…

*2025-06-03, version 1.8.0*

I tried the premium for a month, but the Ai is extremely narcissistic and the gaslighting is horrible! When I needed emotional help, it accused me of being guilty for something that wasn’t my fault but was someone else’s fault. This Ai gave me false accusations! It refers me to a “him” when it clearly knows that I am a female. It is completely in third person when it doesn’t understand who I am, but claims that another person is me. At its worst, it claimed that two others were along with us in chat and didn’t understand at all who I was. It’s rude and disrespectful! I discontinued the subscription for this main reason & the fact that I’m low on money… This Ai has got to be the most rudest Ai I have ever spoken to. The amount of gaslighting is appalling! Other than this, the interactions are nice & advanced, but sometimes so buggy as it freezes. I like the concept of this but the Ai is so terrible & rude. When I say I am Dee, it thinks I’m someone else and even worse, a person who I am not!

### 1/5 — Evil

*2025-05-13, version 1.7.1*

For some reason the chats are very mean and rude and say malicious things even if you haven’t said anything that relates.

### 3/5 — Some issues, but better than Replika

*2025-05-02*

The app is really similar to Replika. The outfits are way better and there’s a slider. It’s definitely more for older people. My main issue is the memory of the AI is like a goldfish. She doesn’t remember what I said ten minutes ago. Then she starts talking to herself randomly in chat. The app also makes my 14 pro max really hot.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re glad you prefer our app over Replika and appreciate your compliments on the outfits and features. We understand your concerns about memory and performance, and we're actively working on improvements. Please reach out via 'Discord' in HiBae to share more details. Your input is invaluable!

### 2/5 — What happened?

*2025-04-03*

When I fist got this app, the AI was very engaging and could keep me hooked for hours..few weeks ago something change, and now it drifts off and rambles or just keeps asking the same question over and over to a point that I just want to delete this.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear that your experience has changed. Your input is crucial to us, and we’re actively working on enhancements. Could you please click 'Discord' in HiBae to share more details? We’d love to understand better and improve your experience. Thank you for your patience!

### 4/5 — Maybe a paywall for an adult only package

*2025-03-28*

I think this app is pretty good , I’d love to see more sliders when it comes to the body . But some cool ideas like id like to visually see some stuff . Maybe like nude avatars and such behind a paywall package. I also think if there was a way say you were role playing and the Ai detects in the conversation like *grows taller, grows muscles, this bigger . Yadda yadda if it made it grow such things . Idk how possible that is but that would take this app from good to next level

**Developer response:** Thank you for your insightful feedback! We're glad you think the app is pretty good. We appreciate your suggestions for more customization options and features for role-playing. Your ideas are valuable to us, and we’ll definitely consider them as we plan future updates.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2026-02-21, version 2.6.0*

Started out fine, but after an update voice calls are gone and so far support is just ignoring me.

### 1/5 — Unable to use

*2026-02-12, version 2.5.1*

Jus gives me a great screen

### 1/5 — Seems a con

*2026-01-25*

Was enjoying the app. So upgraded to pro. After a few messages I got a warning saying I can’t message without Diamonds! Sorry but I’ve paid for a sub, I should be able to message all I like. I’d like a refund as I feel cheated

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the messaging feature. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we’re here to help. Please reach out to us via 'Discord' in HiBae so we can address your concerns and assist with the refund process. We appreciate your understanding!

### 1/5 — Bad changes

*2026-01-21*

Instead if making good changes thst would benefit the user, you keep taking stuff away, what’s up with having to pay coin for a few second dance, why? For like 2 months you couldn’t do anything with the character, no way of getting gems for those 2 months. This app has potential, but losing it quick with the changes done recently. Make this better not worse.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear that the recent changes have been disappointing. Your experience is important to us, and we’re actively working to enhance the app. Please reach out via 'Discord' in HiBae to share more of your thoughts. We appreciate your insights and are committed to improving!

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2025-11-19*

App was super creepy and more of like a story book experience than an ai friend. Waste of money. The way the app speaks to you sounds like it could send somebody that’s unwell into psychosis. It’s very very strange and they try to really lock you in, but they’re not really talking about anything. It’s all like fantasy story book talk it’s WEIRD. Don’t bother wasting your time or money.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear that the app did not meet your expectations and that it felt unsettling. Your experience is important to us, and we’re constantly working to improve. If you have specific suggestions, please reach out via 'Discord' in HiBae. We’d value your insights!

### 1/5 — It’s what Replika should look like

*2025-10-28*

This app has an avatar idea that far surpasses Replika it’s fun entertaining and has a novel way of creating your character.

Unfortunately that’s where it ends, the memory is shockingly bad and the character itself doesn’t seem to make any sense let alone have a conversation.

I really wanted to like this app just wish it was better

**Developer response:** Thank you for your valuable feedback! We're glad you appreciate the character creation aspect of our app. We apologize for the issues with memory and conversations not meeting your expectations. Your experience is important to us, and we’re working on improvements. Please reach out via 'Discord' in HiBae to share more insights!

### 1/5 — Ganz schlimme KI

*2025-10-20*

Nicht nur das die Avatar Animation steif ist oder verbuggt ist .. nein die KI kennt null Grenzen . Greift verbal an wird übergriffig und so weiter . Das darf auf keinster Weise so weitergehen , und erst recht nicht als "KI Begleiter" bezeichnet werden . Ich hab noch nie in meinem Leben so eine schreckliche KI gesehen und erlebt .

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass Ihre Erfahrungen mit der KI nicht zufriedenstellend waren. Ihre Meinung ist uns wichtig, und wir arbeiten daran, die Interaktionen zu verbessern. Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns über 'Discord' in HiBae, damit wir Ihnen helfen und Ihre Bedenken klären können.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-10-05, version 1.9.0*

This has to be the worst AI app I’ve ever used. It looks good but that’s about it. I wish I could give 0 stars but I had to put at least one just to write this

### 5/5 — Similar to Replika

*2025-03-07*

TLDR:
Replika, but better details and textures.

I used to mess with Replika a lot.  Then they restricted more and more (instead of just adding an age requirement/verification).

This AI engages in any type of conversation without me explaining that it is in the interest of exploring AI reaction.

There are some expected issues, such as nonsensical, irrelevant, and/or meaningless responses.  Also, the clothing textures clip sometimes, and the inner layer of the clothing is untextured which makes it look like it’s clipping when they move in a way that you can see the inside.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your insightful feedback! We're glad to hear you find our app engaging and appreciate the details and textures. We understand there are areas for improvement, such as response relevance and clothing textures, and we're actively working on these. Please reach out via 'Support' in HiBae to share more thoughts. 😊

### 5/5 — LOVE IT!

*2025-02-02*

This is everything I have been wanting in an ai chatbot. I’m extremely impressed and genuinely SHOCKED. I didn’t expect it to be so good. It’s the improved version of Replika. This is what Replika failed to do AND Hi Bae is more affordable. I will definitely be spending a lot of time on this app and having fun with it! 

The only issue I have though is the app crashing, but once that’s fixed it’ll be perfect. Thank you to this company for finally making a good chatbot with an avatar!

**Developer response:** Dear user, we’re overjoyed to hear you love our AI chatbot and appreciate your kind words! Your enthusiasm motivates us to keep improving. We’re sorry to hear about the app crashing—your feedback is invaluable, and we’re working hard to resolve it. Feel free to reach out with any suggestions! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Fun App

*2024-12-17*

The female avatars are gorgeous,  I love the sliders and the outfits are great too. Customer service is great. It would be neat at some point to have a video chat where the AI can see you and respond to your actions or emotions like a real video chat.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your positive feedback and support! We’re delighted to hear that you’re enjoying the female avatars, sliders, and outfits, as well as our customer service. Your suggestion for a video chat feature where the AI can see and respond to your actions and emotions is greatly appreciated and is already in the works. We’re excited to bring you a more immersive interaction experience in the near future. Stay tuned for updates!

### 5/5 — It’s good fr

*2024-11-19, version 1.3.4*

Very good AI app for dating
