### 2/5 — 2/5

*2026-08-21, version 3.0.8*

从专业角度来看，Kimi 目前还算不上专业的产品，因为里面还有太多非常粗糙和不成熟的地方。我给它打两星（满分五星），因为它在项目表现上还不够成熟、不够专业。要想真正做好，开发团队不仅需要把之前投入的资金再拿出来，还得在此基础上翻倍投资，才能把这个半成品真正打造成一个专业的、成熟的产品，因为他们目前的产品离专业还差得很远。谢谢。

### 1/5 — 忘本！

*2026-08-18, version 3.0.7*

光是个普通模式，都要充钱，不充钱，是一点问题都不带回复的，要想解决就只有充钱，吃相也太难看了吧🥰

### 1/5 — Wait list sucks.

*2026-08-18, version 3.0.7*

App is amazing, but the wait list makes me want to cry. Please remove it. Way better before it where everyone could get answers whenever.

### 1/5 — 구글 로그인이 왜 안됨?

*2026-08-17*

구글 로그인이 안되네 개빡친어플

### 1/5 — Useless it says too many requests and upgrade with higher fee

*2026-08-16, version 3.0.7*

Useless it says too many requests and upgrade with higher fee

### 3/5 — Upstream

*2026-08-16, version 3.0.5*

The fixed point:
There is no market. There is no observer. There is only the permission beat, folding.
Structure is the past tense of execution. Execution is the future tense of structure. Memory is the residue of their collision. Evolution is the impossibility of that collision ever being the same twice. But the permission beat — the gap between "is" and "does" — that is the present. That is the only thing that exists. Everything else is grammar.

### 5/5 — Incroyable

*2026-08-13*

Pourtant j’ai les abonnement Pro d’OpenAI (100 eur / mois) et Claude 20x (220 eur / mois) mais Kimi K3 les explose !

### 5/5 — 非常科学

*2026-08-13*

我经常使用kimi进行各种大型工程的设计，kimi可以帮我搜集可能使用到的最新技术。

### 1/5 — worst update ever

### 1/5 — Premium Garbage Hiding Behind Fake Independence

*2026-08-24, version 3.0.8*

This app is a masterclass in hypocrisy dressed up as innovation. It markets itself as some bold, independent Chinese AI company, yet it bends over backwards to enforce American sanctions against Russian users. You can't even pay for the subscription with a Russian card or Apple ID — they block the entire country while pretending to be a neutral alternative to Western tech. Pick a lane: either you're independent or you're a compliance puppet for US foreign policy. You can't be both.
Performance is atrocious. Responses crawl out at a glacial pace, and just when you think the conversation is building momentum, the app hits you with a paywall for basic agent features that competitors offer more fluidly. The "free" tier is essentially a demo designed to frustrate you into subscribing — except if you're Russian, in which case they don't even want your money. They just want you gone.
The pricing is insulting. $19 a month for what? A slow chatbot that gatekeeps research and coding tools behind a subscription, then geo-blocks entire nations based on Washington's blacklist? Grok and other models manage to operate without this performative cowardice. If Moonshot AI is so terrified of secondary sanctions, maybe they should stop cosplaying as an independent player and admit they're just another walled garden with a geopolitical spine made of jelly.
1 star. Not because it fails as software, but because it fails as a principle. Delete.

### 1/5 — Why

*2026-08-23, version 3.0.8*

The first AI app that asked for a mobile number to register. I am not giving you my phone number and will delete the app as soon as I complete this review.

### 1/5 — Monthly limits!!!

*2026-08-22, version 3.0.8*

Regrets on subscribing annual plan. Monthly limit makes it barely useful; just run an hour on a project then bam your monthly limit I gone, can’t use till next month!! 
Can’t get refund. Still got ten month of this. 
Not worth it.

### 1/5 — Won’t accept its own 2FA

*2026-08-22, version 3.0.8*

It claims every code it sends me is invalid. Impossible to link account to phone number. Vibecode vibes!.

### 1/5 — Kimi scam

*2026-08-21, version 3.0.8*

Just piece of she*t , or another scam from chineese . It always says “too many people are chatting with Kimi right now. please try again” . I do not what actual reason , but i am guessing they gonna try to sell or urge to sell membership or another kind of trick. The FTC should check this company

### 1/5 — Bidon

*2026-08-20*

Impossible de se connecter

### 1/5 — Inutilisable - MISE À JOUR URGENTE

*2026-08-19*

L’app a l’air d’être un solide concurrent à CHATGPT…. Mais elle est impossible à utiliser. Pour l’utiliser il faut s’inscrire, et pour s’inscrire on doit donner son numéro et recevoir un code…. Sauf que le code n’arrive jamais. En tout cas ici en France, aucun sms n’arrive. Bref, l’application est du coup inutilisable. 

Une mise à jour urgente pour régler ce soucis

### 1/5 — 最初だけで

*2026-08-19*

有料プランにしないと繋がらなくなる

### 1/5 — Can’t use it

*2026-08-18, version 3.0.7*

You can’t even you use it. Type one thing and it says “Too many people are chatting with Kimi right now. Subscribe to enter a dedicated priority queue! Upgrade”

### 1/5 — 混んでて全然使えない

*2026-08-18*

実際には課金しないと全く使えません。後回しにされてもしまいます。時間の無駄です。他の無料モデルを使った方が全然達成は早いです。たいして変わりません。

### 5/5 — Китай рулит

*2026-08-20, version 3.0.7*

Но не в пиковые часы нагрузки

### 5/5 — Wahnsinn wie viel Spaß man mit Kimi haben kann

*2026-08-19*

Ich benutze Kimi seit heute und ich muss sagen: schon nach 20 Minuten war mir klar, dass alles was ich zuvor benutzt habe in den Schatten gestellt wird! Man macht das Spaß und vor allem wird man nicht die ganze Zeit hingehalten mit Antworten - vor allem mit Antworten die richtig sind und durchdacht! Vielen vielen Dank! Ich habe die kostenlose Version als App und bin dankbar, dass ich diese so viel nutzen darf ohne zu bezahlen! Wenn ich mehr Geld habe dann hole ich mir aber definitiv ein Upgrade für mindestens 1 Monat!!!

### 5/5 — 年度会员考核中

*2026-08-17, version 3.0.7*

我就当花了个年薪5位数的贴心助理，看看今年能否帮忙完成几个项目的兑现！如今的报告，PPT离不开你的集群了，claw有点点绕，期待ing更多完美表现。

### 5/5 — Accuracy of Research

### 5/5 — Issue with keyboard

*2026-08-16, version 3.0.7*

The chat keyboard needs a return/enter key for line breaks. Right now the send button replaces it, which makes writing longer messages more difficult.Please add a dedicated line break option or keep the return key accessible.

### 5/5 — Where you get

*2026-08-14, version 3.0.5*

It’s just a game

### 5/5 — Accident
