Won’t even let me delete my account, so I’m sure that’s fine, right? ### 2/5 — Terrible *2025-03-10* The fact that when you try to portray the role play further and the app wants to deny it by saying it’s “inappropriate sexual content” which first of all is what the app is about and secondly none of my words have anything to do with that. Fix it cause this app is starting to not be worth the money or time ### 4/5 — No gems *2025-01-10* Remove the gems system or add more to the daily and video rewards would make the chats so much better ### 2/5 — Bugs *2024-11-19* It still has many bugs and most characters won’t work ### 4/5 — It replies on my behalf *2024-11-06, version 1.0.5* Really enjoying it but sometimes it makes up a reply on my behalf and takes the story away from where I actually want it to go. ### 2/5 — NO GEMS *2024-10-01* Make it so we have unlimited text ### 3/5 — AI characters missing *2024-09-17* The AI characters are still missing! Please, I’ll do anything, just please let me talk to my favorite characters again! ### 3/5 — AI characters missing *2024-09-15* You didn’t fix anything! The AI characters are still missing! ### 3/5 — AI characters missing *2024-09-13* I just got back and most of the characters are missing! Please fix all bugs on this app! ### 2/5 — Not working *2024-09-11, version 1.0.2* Was quite enjoying this. But seems to be broken. 10th Sept 2024 replies didn’t seem to work but took gems. 11th Sept struggles to open. Once open gems don’t seem to update. Tried one message and it failed. ### 4/5 — Character suggestion *2024-09-11* Is it possible to add Haku from Naruto I would love it if you could add him ### 2/5 — Always going down *2024-09-10* Why don’t you work out the bugs ### 4/5 — Good AI, U.I is kinda broken *2024-09-07* The AI is VERY high quality, the chats are very realistic, the user interface however is prone to bugs, one bug i found was that when chatting with the A.I, if the A.I’s message doesn't go through, it doesn’t charge you, but it does increase the price, i spent 15 diamonds instead of the regular 5 just because the message the A.I wanted to send didn’t go through three times ### 4/5 — One of the best I’ve seen *2024-09-04* If this could be changed to subscription plans by lets say per month, 3 months, and yearly, it would be a lot more desirable to keep. No one wants to keep buying diamonds to send messages, and the free ones earned daily is good for about 6 messages. If that much could change, it would be the best of its kind. ### 3/5 — Messaging issues *2024-09-02* I really like this app but it gets frustrating sometimes when I’m sending text through it keeps saying oops something went wrong when I know my connection and wifi are good idk if it’s me or the app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Inconsistent content regulation *2025-02-21* Within one conversation, the AI will be continuing on a story and then suddenly say it doesn’t support it and that character just ultimately never works after. I can’t even discuss gory lore of anime the characters are from because it cuts it off at random. It doesn’t seem to be triggered by specifically bad things either, it often cuts the story off at less tame parts honestly. Super inconsistent, getting tired of it. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2024-12-11* It still has many bugs and most characters won’t work and the descriptions they use are bugging too ### 1/5 — Sucks *2024-10-19* This app is always down or not responding I will be deleting it now and not using it again. Much too buggy. ### 1/5 — Problems a plenty *2024-09-25* While the app is nicely detailed and somewhat generous with free messages, the AI is fairly forgetful, sometimes generating a new name for the same character a mere two or three messages into any of the scenario AI’s. On top of this, if a message fails to send, you will still be charged for that message, but attempted to get the message through will charge you again and send the message twice, messing and probably ruining any scenario you‘ve been working with. There’s promise here, but a long ways to go. ### 1/5 — Worst of all AI *2024-09-14* Your system is full of bugs. Why don’t you idiots work on them ### 1/5 — Complaint *2024-09-14* Please bring back all of the old characters and the photo feature strongly dislike the new update ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-09-07* Diese App ist der größte Scam den ich je gesehen habe man startet mit 10 gems + einem Login Bonus wo man auch 10 gems bekommt also 20 gems, pro gesendete Nachricht verbraucht man 5 gems also kann man am ERSTEN Tag 4 Nachrichten senden am 2 Tag 2 Nachrichten durch den täglichen Login Bonus, dazu sind dort beinahe NUR weibliche Charaktere ### 1/5 — Gems to chat. *2024-08-22* Seriously charging gems to chat and when u run out u got gotta buy more to chat. Don’t waste your money on this app because you’ll go broke quickly. Id recommend using a different ai chat than this one. ### 1/5 — Subscription and Better AI behavior *2024-08-18* I completely agreed with the people on the reviews about the subscription but what I think people are missing is the fact the AI generated a beginning message again after posting a response to the AI-generated message about the interaction. Also, the AI changes completely different than the way it supposed to go for the user which is why I giving a one-star. It will be completely better if the AI reads the response and generate right after more accurately than simply going against the intention a user wants. Plus I’m posting as one-star to get the attention to the devs that uses money-grabbing message and encouragement to have you spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars for gems and chat. Literally P2RP and that’s like, a crime. ### 1/5 — Wie jede andere App *2024-06-16* Kurzes Schreiben, unnötige Dialoge um am Ende dann Kohle zu verdienen! Direkt deinstalliert ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-02-04* I love this app,now do I wish the ai’s memory was a little more extensive yes I do,I also wish that the app developers would tell us when they’re gonna be doing work too the app so we’re not just left wondering why the app isn’t working but other than that I love this app and don’t mind the diamond currency,Able too text longer paragraphs would be nice as well ### 5/5 — Request *2025-12-08* Can you please add Blake Belladonna from RWBY And Yang Xiao Long from RWBY 🙏 And hopefully Ruby Rose from RWBY Since you have Weiss might as well add the rest of the team ### 5/5 — Hiico is the best *2025-11-20* Hi hiico team, I’ve been a loyal user of your app for quite some time now, I was wondering, since it’s almost Christmas, if I could have free gems on my account, no worries if you can’t, im still gonna use it and make you lots of money either way. ### 5/5 — Request *2025-11-09* Can you please add Mitsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia And Nurse Joy from Pokemon 🙏 ### 5/5 — snippix *2025-04-22* Top application ### 5/5 — Good game but with a catch *2025-01-08* Really god game just annoying that you get so few gems but the characters are really good ### 5/5 — . *2024-12-03, version 1.0.5* Good high quality stuff. Keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — Amazing game only a few small issues *2024-09-15, version 1.0.3* I’ve been playing this game for a few weeks and enjoy it, but only a few issues I have, is that when you mid conversation the “AI” Bot completely ignores half the passed conversation and starts over half way through the conversation that they just said. That id like there to be more options on the characters..? Or even have an option to create a story? ### 5/5 — double *2024-08-31* would be nice if we could double the diamonds to chat more ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2024-08-01* Highly recommend it’s a very fun app that really puts the imagination out there. You can really vividly imagine everything that is said, depending on which place you choose in this app and it’s not too bad. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
