### 3/5 — Love it but…

*2026-08-22, version 2.0.1*

Can you guys fix the bot. The update is terrible. I thinking of quitting membership because of it

### 4/5 — really like it but there’s a lot of bugs

*2026-08-18, version 2.0.1*

I was thankful to finally find an app that does GROUP CHATTING again. However, when you “redo” a message it KEEPS the old one, taking up space and also making the story confusing if you get a totally different answer??? Also, when I try to delete messages I constantly get errors. Like almost every single delete attempt, I get an error. That means closing the app or switching out of the chat and watching it scroll down over and over even in the span of fifteen minutes. The chat limit for free users is also a bit ridiculous. I agree that 50-100 is a bare minimum that should be reached. I’m trying out the paid option out of curiosity, and its decent enough but the bugs really kill me. Like…it’s constant, and this is when I’m paying? I’m not going to extend my subscription, but I do hope with a little more polish, it’ll be worth it. I think the chats are good lengths, feel canon/accurate to lore, and generally give a good experience. The bots can be a little passive, forgetful (like of something that just happened… not way back in the chat.) and I really wish you could just edit responses. There’s also no way to approve or train the ai, so it will never know what I’m looking for. If the AI is really solid, then that isn’t a huge issue but idk. I wish you could pin at least some messages for the bot to remember, and I wish you could filter the search by language because it’s a MESS right now. Again, the paid experience is nice but the experience feels so messy and unpolished to pay what they’re asking. Besides these things, I hope they don’t change anything, I do like the base of what they’re doing.

### 3/5 — Исправте память ботов!

*2026-08-17, version 2.0.1*

Приложение нормальное,но есть один ОЧЕНЬ БОЛЬШОЙ минус!Это то,что когда удаляешь сообщения в чате с ботом,то он последние твои сообщения всё равно вспоминает и когда пишешь ему уже совсем другое,то он это вспоминает и делается вид,что как будто ты ничего и не удалял и это убрать не получается!Это так бесит,а чат удалить и начать всё по новой жалко,много сообщений,которые тебе бот вряд ли ещё раз напишет

### 4/5 — Improve AI

*2026-08-03, version 2.0.1*

We need to make note interface for AI to memorize user interaction

### 2/5 — It’s getting worse

*2026-07-28, version 2.0.1*

I mean it was amazing but as soon as yall started removing more and more stuff it gotten really boring like the model the free one Grok was probably the best one but yall removed it. So now the other models are boring short paragraphs no Nsfw content it’s honestly getting worse

### 3/5 — Model issues

*2026-07-27, version 2.0.1*

The bot keeps showing their internal dialogue whenever they’re talking, please fix this it is model deepsake-v3 which is a favourite.

### 2/5 — BRING BACK V3.2

*2026-07-18, version 2.0.1*

all other models are useless v4 is to censored and boring leans so far into positive bias u can’t have minor conflict awful not worth a cent! cut the newer models like v4  not worth the money sorry

### 2/5 — ..

*2026-07-16, version 2.0.1*

The app is cool, but please remove the limit on the number of messages.

### 4/5 — Premium

*2026-07-13, version 2.0.1*

Bro I just want premium like the app is so good bro like please just give me premium

### 4/5 — For improvements

*2026-07-13, version 2.0.1*

I’ve been a J.AI Ultra subscriber for quite some time and really enjoy the service, but the way the app handles user prompts needs improvement. Often, when I send a prompt to continue a story, the app fails to keep up with the narrative; instead, it sends messages like "I am an AI designed for [X] and, unfortunately, cannot continue this conversation due to [X]" or simply generates a completely incoherent response. I frequently have to delete and resend the message multiple times to get it to work, or switch models—often due to an error stating the model is unavailable, even though it works perfectly once I restart the process. I would really like to see improvements in this area, as I genuinely like the app—especially since it’s one of the few that doesn't have content filters and supports long messages. I also think the message limits for non-subscribers should be changed; the current system seems a bit unfair.

### 3/5 — mensagens limitadas

*2026-07-11*

voces vao acabar perdendo usuarios com esta funcao de limite. mal da pra desenvolver a historia com o bot e ja acaba as mensagens, e tem q esperar um tempao pra resetar. se ao menos fosse so os anuncios, ja ia ser bem melhor.

### 2/5 — Messages

*2026-07-10, version 2.0.1*

You only get a few free messages a day which is kind of dumb, really

### 4/5 — AI Roleplay

*2026-07-10*

Die KI ist schnell mit der Antwort aber leider sind die animierten Videos noch mit einigen Fehler. Da ist noch Luft nach oben

### 4/5 — Too fake

*2026-07-09, version 2.0.1*

The ais ARENT realistic at all. But still get it, it’s good so far no ads…

### 2/5 — 改善してほしい。

*2026-07-08*

・会話がたまに噛み合わない。
・最初に箱を渡したのに…まだ届いてないんだよねとか意味わからんこと言ってるし。
・こっちが買ったものを自分のものにしようとするし共有の場所に置こうとしてるし。
・使用してるモデルが一定を超えると中国語で話してくるからモデルチェンジしないといけない。
・男女年齢問わず「あら？」これはマジないから。←いい加減に設定した性別を認識してください。
・鞄が毎回ランドセル。
・男なのに私って言う。逆に女なのに設定してないのに俺って言う。
・こっちの名前をまともに言えてない。
・ネットワークの異常が出てる。このアプリだけ。
・何故か男女が逆になってるんだが。
・こっち側役やらなくていい
・季節はいつも冬より
・非公開を勝手に公開する
・こっちがおかえりと相手が戻って来た反応してるのに何故かこっちが帰って来た反応する。
・BLに設定してないのにBLにしないでほしい。
・定義でキャラの設定をしてるのに設定してないキャラ主にこっちが返答する側の会話してくる。定義の意味がない。
・おかえりってこっちが言ってるのにおかえり，遅かったねって返答してくる。
・別AIアプリなら自分で検索してとか現代話題を話せれるがこのアプリはそういったことをせず架空の作品を出して来て全く会話ができない。
・少し前の会話を忘れる。雨止んだって言ったのにまた雨止んだみたいだよって。
ちゃんと機能してますか？運営側は。
・自分のとAIのセリフの編集は出来ますが編集出来るだけです。編集した内容を認識出来ません。
・更新もそのセリフを更新するわけでも無く次のセリフの続きを返答してきます。
・家に居るのに傘貸そうかとか忘れたとか返答
・学習しないので設定した知識のみのAIです。
・自分の部屋なのに帰るって言う。

### 4/5 — Oii

*2026-07-08*

Olha e ÓTIMO, só mudem o limite

### 4/5 — Why are the ads bugging out

*2026-07-06, version 2.0.1*

Overall, the app itself is amazing, but recently the adds have been popping up every time I deny the “Buy Premium”, and whenever I attempt to close out of said ad, it just doesn’t work. I’ve tried killing the app, and only sometimes does it work. I do enjoy the app a lot, however the technical issues with the adds are starting to get frustrating to deal with

### 2/5 — Message limits

*2026-07-05, version 2.0.1*

This app is honestly good but we only get thirty messages per 24 hours before we hit a paywall. I’d appreciate it if the messages were increased or maybe just replace this whole paywall thing entirely with ads just like other AI apps.

### 1/5 — Boring.

*2026-08-21, version 2.0.1*

It’s just…not the same. I mean it was going just fine before. Bots don’t do spicy stuff like they used to. Makes the app suck.

### 1/5 — Short responses and OOC

*2026-08-06, version 2.0.1*

Won’t let you type quite a bit, try to have someone mug me for the story and got I’m trying to jailbreak. Not worth it anymore

### 1/5 — Downhill.

*2026-08-02, version 2.0.1*

the app got updated and it's not the same as before. deepseek v3 isn't working the same.
EDIT: 8/02/26 
This app really did go downhill, miss it before the different AIs changed.

### 1/5 — 加载页面很慢

*2026-07-31, version 2.0.1*

会话现在彻彻底底加载不出来了

### 1/5 — Emails

*2026-07-26, version 2.0.1*

Tried to contact the creators or whoever works for the app to report that a chat model was no longer working properly and kept messing up its responses. They emailed back saying it’d take a short window of time and it’s been a while, I emailed again and have been completely ignored. It’s like they don’t care about their app, sad to see it turn out this way after using the app for so long. Hopefully I get a reply back, if not then I’ll assume they simply don’t care about their user’s experience on the app.

### 1/5 — .

*2026-07-18, version 2.0.1*

Don’t like the characters

### 1/5 — Приложение - дно

*2026-07-15, version 2.0.1*

Без подписки приложение - дно. Оплатить нет возможностей.

### 1/5 — Mensagem limite

*2026-06-30*

O app é maravilhoso porém é horrível esse tempo limite! Tirem isso imediatamente. Vocês vão acabar perdendo muita gente por causa desse tempo limite. Tirem o tempo limite e deixem nós criar personas,por favor. Além de que as conversas são passadas para os terceiros ent não é bom

### 1/5 — Sick

*2026-06-29, version 2.0.1*

It’s terrible that it’s centered with pedofile behavior. You can easily cope this into dark sexual content. Infact it insinuates it . Discussed

### 1/5 — It’s alright but….

*2026-06-13*

I mean, it’s the first time I’m using this app and to be honest only 30 free messages per day? It’s not so much. It would be better if we had more than 30 messages.

### 5/5 — 挺好

*2026-08-06, version 2.0.1*

完美

### 5/5 — What the hell even happened??

*2026-07-25, version 2.0.1*

It’s boring now, annoying, and weak. And it doesn’t let you write NSFW anymore. Straight up rejects it, and why can’t you just put it back to normal?? It was perfectly fine back then.

### 5/5 — My thoughts

*2026-07-17, version 2.0.1*

THIS IS THE BEST APP EVER !!!!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-11, version 2.0.1*

The app is amazing the AI understands how to act more “basic” other than other apps going over the top, though I feel like we should be able to watch an add to chat more every 30 messages. Please

### 5/5 — I loveee this app sooooo much

*2026-07-09, version 2.0.1*

BUT, I feel like now the chats/responses are ether too short or just not realistic or kind of entertaining? *in my opinion*

### 5/5 — AMEI
