### 1/5 — Bof

*2026-08-16*

Cela faisait quelques semaines que je l’utilisais et j’ai remarqué qu’il y a plusieurs d’incohérences, très peu de mémoire. On tourne en boucle dans les discussions dedans. L’IA ne prends pas en compte le chat memory non plus donc obligé de lui rappeler sans cesse les événements passés.

### 3/5 — Sad

*2026-08-16*

It’s slowly degrading in quality, Janitor isn’t what it used to be.

### 4/5 — Slight bug

*2026-08-15*

So, the lists, Notifications, Chats, etc, stack the sections when any parts placement is updated

### 5/5 — Probably the best AI chat in the platform

*2026-08-14*

No filter at all, massive amount of characters, can send images, and so on. No definition limit on characters too. Best AI app here. It’s also not “Pay to Talk” too, better than Character.ai, it was right to move on.

### 3/5 — Website is kinda better

*2026-08-11*

I've been using janitor AI since it first came out and it's honestly one of the best ai apps in my experience. The only problem I see with it is the app.

I find the app takes way longer to generate replies and can even stop mid reply due to network errors. I don't really have this problem with the website.

Also the website has better chat customisation in my opinion just solely because you are able to put in hex codes while the app doesn't allow you to do that.

Overall I think the website is 10x better but that doesn't mean the app isn't bad. Probably just needs some changes.

### 1/5 — Não consigo verificar minha idade

*2026-08-10*

Toda vez que eu clico para fazer a verificação demora muito, sem contar que eu faço o processo direitinho, mas na hora ele simplesmente sai do negócio e me obriga a fazer de novo.
Eu tentei fazer tanto pelo APP quanto pelo site, mas não funcionou em nenhum dos dois

### 3/5 — It lags too often

*2026-08-09*

I’ve been using it for a while now and it’s a great app until you had your new update 21 hours ago, it’s completely ruined my app, the reply is slow or only writes half of it then lags and doesn’t write it anymore, and now I’m dealing with creating new chat logs and then exiting them but when going back into them it’s completely blank when it not meant to and it just doesn’t let you tap on anything, please find a way to fix it or remove the update

### 1/5 — Nicht zu empfehlen

*2026-08-08*

Ich habe für die App Geld ausgegeben und seit dem läuft es schlimmer als vorher. Texte hängen sich direkt auf und es ist unmöglich zu schreiben!

### 1/5 — Seit Abonnement unbrauchbar

*2026-08-06*

Ich habe die kostenlose Version gehabt und war so zufrieden, dass ich das Abonnement abgeschlossen habe. Aber seitdem ist die App unbrauchbar. Ständige Wiederholungen einzelner Wörter oder Wortgruppen lassen die App abstürzen. Man kann nichts mehr machen, als die App komplett zu schließen und neuzustarten.

### 5/5 — Très bonne app

*2026-08-06*

Moi qui cherchait apperativement une application similaire à une autre célèbre (car celle ci a bloqué avec la vérification d'âge) j'en suis totalement satisfaite. Les bots ont une bonne mémoire et la manière de crée nos propres bot est parfaite! C'est la même chose pour la personnalisation de notre profile publique. J'adore le fait de pouvoir personnaliser plus le fait si on connaît qlq trucs en code c'est tllm bien. Je la recommande mille fois.
