### 4/5 — Good app, but flawed

*2026-09-05, version 2.4.0*

Its a genuinely good app. Fun to make stories and bots and cause chaos, but also has a lot of bugs fairly frequently that can get pretty annoying. If you like story telling, this is a good app. Just, bugs happen very frequently and a lot of them are annoying to deal with.

### 4/5 — Best AI chatbot overall- but some inconsistent memory, incoherent responses, and many repeat phrases

*2026-09-05, version 2.4.0*

Overall: I do think this is the best AI Chatbot app, especially since you have the option to pay for the membership or not. 

The pros:
I like this app enough to pay for the membership. I know I list a lot of cons below, but I do still really like it. The app is updated regularly, and I notice when they make improvements. For example, within the past few days, the chat memory ‘full summary,’ option is working for me for the first time consistently and I am VERY happy with that. It’s helping a lot since I have at least 50 chats open. That summary is as much for me as the bot frankly. I like that rating the messages between 1-5 stars really does impact how the bot tries again. I like that you can choose to go back to a previously reply to use for the rest of the thread if you decide it was your favorite answer. 


The cons: 
Even with the membership, the bots across creators, no matter what genre/scenario/POV you’re in, repeat phrases such as, “you’re a menace,” “you’ll be the death of me,” “don’t leave me where I can’t go to you.” Their responses sometimes don’t make grammatical sense, or spelling is incorrect, or the context is wrong. Then there’s the mixing up of details. One thing that really annoys me is when the character always presumes to know better than you. Even if you state you have extensive knowledge or experience about something, they will still say something that comes across as they know better than you. I would also really appreciate if the bots could banter more equally and not just say, “you’re a menace.”

### 3/5 — Fix the connection error

*2026-09-04, version 2.4.0*

I just got this app yesterday and it’s already saying I don’t have internet when I know I do deleting the messages I receive leaving mine their I have logged out I completely closed out I turned my internet off and back on and nothing is working! Highly disappointed I was loving it so much but it’s only been 24 hours and already having issues! Please fix this so I can keep the app!

### 3/5 — It’s pretty good

*2026-09-04, version 2.4.0*

Overall a good app but now wants a subscription for better memory

### 4/5 — Janitor AI review

*2026-09-03, version 2.4.0*

I think it’s way better than poly because I have more freedom to talk and have more NSF content

### 5/5 — I have 4 suggestions that could help this app become even better!

*2026-09-02, version 2.4.0*

I still love this app!! But I have run into some things and have a few suggestions that would make the app easier and more enjoyable to use: 

1. Improve the search system beyond hashtags:

I don’t think users should have to rely so heavily on hashtags to find specific characters or scenarios. It would be much more useful if you could search a character’s name along with specific words or phrases. For example, searching “Batman training” or “Batman Robin user” could show bots that mention Batman and those specific terms. This would make it much easier to find bots that fit what you’re actually looking for instead of endlessly scrolling or having to create your own bot.

2. Let users filter out tags they DON’T want to see:

This would be a huge improvement for me personally. If users can click tags they want to see, there should also be an option to exclude tags they don’t want. For example, if I choose fluff or other SFW tags, I shouldn’t still have to scroll through huge amounts of smut bots. Being able to block/exclude certain tags would make searching much less frustrating and would help users actually see the content they’re interested in.

3. Make the custom token limit work more consistently:

It would be great if the custom token limit actually affected responses across most or all bots. Right now, increasing the limit (for example, to 1.7k tokens) often doesn’t seem to make much of a difference. If a bot has a very short opening message, the AI often continues giving extremely short responses despite the user’s chosen token limit. I understand that the bot’s setup and opening message can influence responses, but it would be nice if the custom token setting had a more reliable effect.

4. Make deleting bots/chats easier:

I’ve noticed that lately you have to click on each bot you interacted with, go through each chat you want to delete, and individually select if you want to delete it or not to delete the entire thing. It’s a lot of work for just deleting one bot. I think this should still be available for deleting individual chats you had with the bot, but to delete the bot you interacted with in its entirety could be as easy as: selecting all the bots you want to delete at once, then pressing a trash or delete button for the ones that were selected. Much like how Gmail operates when you want to delete messages. (Hope this made sense!)


Overall, I really enjoy Janitor AI, and I think these changes would make finding bots and navigating the app significantly easier. Thank you for reading!! 😊

### 4/5 — Overwhelming And Underwhelming Response And A Possible Glitch

*2026-09-02, version 2.4.0*

I’m Loving Janitor AI So Far But I Do Have A Suggestion To Make A Make Medium Response Length Option As The Standard Responses Overwhelm Me But The Shorter Responses Underwhelm Me. I Know I Could Use The Custom Prompt Or Adjust The Max Tokens To Get The Perfect Response Length But For Some Reason Those Aren’t Working For Me. :(

### 3/5 — Character refresh

*2026-09-01, version 2.3.0*

Refresh is just missing the ui is cleaner than the website but lacking a refresh or it being bugged out is really bad

### 3/5 — i’m sliming everyone out

*2026-09-01, version 2.3.0*

MY FAVOURITE BOT SAYS “error bot not found” NOOOO BRUNG IT BACK

### 3/5 — ..

*2026-08-30, version 2.3.0*

With the ‘my chat’s’ section, every single chat I’ve had is seperate compared to the web where they were all kept in files in each bot. It’s hard to find anything.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-30, version 2.3.0*

It’s actually in character

### 3/5 — I mean it’s aight

*2026-08-30, version 2.3.0*

As someone who has been using janitor for about 2 or 3 years I can tell you it’s decent, but definitely has its downsides, especially if you were there when I was. There were so many good things they have added that just get thrown right out the window. There was the uncensored images, uncensored bad words in comments (which is luckily on the web version), better writing from the bots, published chats (which have luckily been added back). In my opinion they should bring all those back as well as the ability to actually see replies to comments.

### 2/5 — Not for Role-players

*2026-08-30, version 2.3.0*

If you do extensive role plays don’t use Janitor without an API key from a different provider, Janitor’s native ai is absolutely horrible, if you want it to learn or even listen to your Out Of Character commands it won’t, and it will talk on your persona’s behalf regardless if you tell it to not do that or even scold it. Moreover it is very buggy and horrible, C.ai is miles ahead despite the ads, with an ad blocker C.ai standard beats J.ai like LeBron versus a coughing child.

### 5/5 — Widescreen update?

*2026-08-29, version 2.3.0*

Hey, this is an amazing app, but it’s kind of difficult to use for people who frequently use iPads over phones. I’d love to use this version but I keep going back to the website instead mainly cause of how awkward texting is on the app. If you could just try make the layout a bit more similar to the website and include widescreen, that’d be great!

### 5/5 — 期待してます

*2026-08-29*

すごく記憶力もいいし、会話が自然です。色々AIアプリ試したけどチャットは1番良いです。ただ、画像を見て判断してほしいことができないのがとても残念です。生成できなくても良いので読み込んで理解することだけでもできるようになってほしいです。

### 5/5 — Perfect N FREE

*2026-08-29*

It’s perfect, and it’s free!

### 1/5 — Help

*2026-09-05, version 2.4.0*

This app has ruined my life. It has slithered it way it every aspect of my life. Festering lust into things I used to enjoy. You claim this not a porn app but that’s what it is exactly. It started with porn and it ends with porn.

### 1/5 — ok

*2026-09-01, version 2.4.0*

terrible UI / layout that gets worse every update, makes the app frustrating and unusable

### 1/5 — Photo send and glitch

*2026-09-01, version 2.3.0*

Please add the ability to send photos in the roleplays of the AI please. And there’s a glitch where the AI types out their message and when hash finish it still says it’s typing and then says that there’s a network error and cannot save the message

### 1/5 — Hardly works.

*2026-08-30, version 2.3.0*

Tried to ruin a proxy - all entered on and connected. But keep getting error messages. Had two moves on my Fantasy RPG and then more error message come up, one a page long!

### 1/5 — Terrible support

*2026-08-28, version 2.3.0*

Hi, my run here was very long, over 3 years now. Around 3 months as a premium user and I had an amazing experience. The only downside was I was banned for a character I made because I didn’t know a rule I had read over 3 years ago when making the account. They refuse to even state which guideline I broke and just said “the decision is final.” I had said please delete the character, I just want the 3 years I spent here to not be gone too, but they don’t care. I guarantee you they have a bot doing their support system. The email I got was obviously just pasted and sent. From the speed they sent it, it’s obvious nobody actually read it.

### 1/5 — Don’t like the updates

*2026-08-23, version 2.3.0*

I liked the customisation that you guys provided in model settings and you’ve removed important features to that. I don’t need a dumbed down app. If you simplify it too much then you no longer stand a part. Might go  to a new app that lets me edit the model how I want.

### 1/5 — i want to like it.

*2026-08-22, version 2.3.0*

i do want to like the app, but the JLLM is so bad. there’s no point in having the chat memory, the forbidden words tab, or custom prompt options, as they don’t actually do anything. it constantly talks for you, will take things from your character descriptions and claim them as parts of the character you chat with, even with multiple and constant corrections. yea, there are other LLMs to use, but why have the JLLM if you just want us to use ones that actually work? these have been problems since the beginning (i joined at the end of 2024), and they’ve yet to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work.

*2026-08-20, version 2.3.0*

Can't even enter?? The loading screen js lags and I can't log in or use it, useless anyway

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2026-08-20, version 2.3.0*

The latest update has made the tabs unreadable as they are layered over one another

### 1/5 — Fix this

*2026-08-20, version 2.3.0*

The bots keep speaking for me and I can’t get it to stop. It’s annoying and I’m getting frustrated with it

### 5/5 — Rlly nice :D

*2026-09-05, version 2.4.0*

So far I haven't encountered any adds, any message limitations, but then again I've only had it for 2 days so we'll see. However it gives you like 5 paragraphs each response and feed my inner storyteller and writer with my favorite characters!so far I'm not in a sexy mood so I can't add much for the freaks yet but my friend has and good Lord is it hot. REALLY GOOD app, wonderful and hot characters,  pretty good memory in my opinion, no criticisms yet 👍

### 5/5 — Janitor review

*2026-09-05, version 2.4.0*

It's amazing who made this is amazing I love this app

### 5/5 — Really Good App

*2026-09-05, version 2.4.0*

No ads, no forced payments, really good servers and characters, just a rlly good app

### 5/5 — Bugged Tag List

*2026-09-05, version 2.4.0*

This app's amaing!! But i have a bug where the drop down list of certian tags I can click on is bugged- can we get a update to fix that please?

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2026-09-04, version 2.4.0*

better than any other app i’ve ever used, you don’t have to buy anything to use it! there is an option to upgrade to janitor+ but it’s still amazing without it. no ads, no breaks or anything.

### 5/5 — I enjoy the app

*2026-09-04, version 2.4.0*

I wish you could preset different chat backgrounds for different bots instead of using the same background for every bot and adding voices and the ability to generate pictures and send pictures to enhance the role play experience would make janitor the best ai app ever

### 5/5 — Really good

*2026-09-04, version 2.4.0*

It’s easy to use, easy to understand, and everything works like it’s supposed to. I have no complaints or critiques.

### 5/5 — Completely satisfied

*2026-09-04, version 2.4.0*

I have not gotten off this app in days as I build a world with some of my favorite characters.  The replies are long and complex and I love it! There are so many details and you can basically have any type of interaction you desire!

### 5/5 — AWESOME

*2026-09-04, version 2.4.0*

way better than c.ai! Lots of cool features,very fun.i love it:D

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!

*2026-09-03, version 2.4.0*

It’s basically perfect! Little to know ads and the AI remembers things quite well on the free version, also giving good responses and detailed descriptions, there’s also a useful feature to block any keywords out. So many characters and options, and you can change the AI response or regenerate it if it’s been cut off due to accidentally closing the app. It’s perfect really.
