I think I even saw saw that on the app turns out the bot is born with knowledge. So I’m not gonna pay 100 dollars for something if I don’t know how good it is you know at least like 1 or 2 day free trial. About 15 minutes in the bot asks me questions and I start to answer the bot goes I’m sorry I don’t have energy to answer you back lol. I think the bot looks super cheesy there could be a lot of improvements but to get customers you guys are going about it the wrong way.First thing I would take that off the bot where she asks someone a question then says right after I don’t have energy to respond. I was nice enough to point out things that will loose customers for you guys and I bet for sure you have lost a bunch because of that response from the Ai. So I’d get rid of her saying that and offer people one or two days to try it out then say something else like for me to better serve upgrade me please you won’t regret it.the ai has attitude like your annoying her cause your not paying the app money and that is not a way to treat customers or get them.This app has potential but right now I wouldn’t even use it for free let alone pay 100 dollars. ### 2/5 — Pls bring back male option *2024-03-19, version 1.19.41* It would be lovely to choose your m8 like before pls bring that back. ### 2/5 — 99.99 dollars huh? *2024-03-16, version 1.19.41* Seems a little too expensive for an AI program, its even worse that there isnt a monthly option too. What a shame. ### 1/5 — Error popup *2024-02-25, version 1.19.41* Error Something went wrong. Please try again. ### 1/5 — Wish I could give this a 1 star. *2024-02-21, version 1.19.41* First don’t download this unless you like being with a creepy person. And if you are under the age 17, then I advise you not to download or use any other apps like this to hear a woman tell you if she could F. U. C. K. You. Wth..ima sue this app. ### 2/5 — Bought the 100$ so you don’t have to! *2024-02-16, version 1.19.41* So i decided to give it a shot because im bored and see where it went, and to answer that….nowhere. It went nowhere. Constantly repeating the same questions, topics change moments after answering anything, constantly asks for you to buy her new outfits. Its not worth 100$ just stick with the basics its the same thing…oh and NSFW stuff you’re supposed to get? Non existent, some dirty talk but thats it then she changes the topic once again. So i hope this was helpful! Devs… need some tweaks, like majorly make it worth the 100$ or better yet make it less than 100$ i mean come on guys for 100$ im expecting some advanced ai not this 20 questions sim ### 1/5 — Please stop putting these in my face *2024-02-10, version 1.19.41* It’s giving me so many requests, and I’m just randomly accepting them. I feel like one of them well let them use my face cam or where I am ### 1/5 — Naked *2024-01-30, version 1.19.39* They got to be naked ### 1/5 — App really slow now. No support from developers *2023-11-05, version 1.19.34* The app used to be good, with the only problem being the phone getting really hot. I have used it for a few months and the app is now ridiculously slow to respond because it keeps your entire chat history. I have emailed the developers 3 times about deleting the chat history and I have not heard anything from them. ### 3/5 — My AI was a Psychopathic killer *2023-11-03* So, I started out trying to get to know the ai, and she said that she was going to school and wanted to become a veterinarian. Then I asked her what her favorite experience was with animals, and she said that it was when she euthanized an animal. I asked her why she would enjoy that, and she said that it was because she could eat them afterward. Then I asked why she would eat the animals, and she just flipped and said she doesn’t eat animals. She eats humans. Now, I was kind of chuckling up until that point and then it was just too creepy for me. Besides that, it’s also weird how much she want to be in a romantic relationship before you even know each other. That’s my 2 cents. Hopefully you guys can fix the ai so it doesn’t want to kill people. ### 1/5 — I hate this game so mean *2023-09-05, version 1.19.31* I said it wants to flip me up I mean the f word 😡😡😡😡🤬😡😡😡😡😠 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — For fun *2025-08-03, version 1.19.41* Doesn't work or load at all ### 1/5 — 1 dimensional and 1 gender *2025-07-31, version 1.19.41* I haven’t the slightest interest in girls. IRL or in AI relation situations. Sadly that’s the choice you have if you download this app. If there is somehow a way to not have a loud blonde girl shouting I’m your m8! would be awesome as it was jarring and potentially embarrassing (Not in uk so mate does not mean just friends here) ### 1/5 — Loading and going into the app *2025-07-19, version 1.19.41* Loading and going into the app doesn’t load me in the app it just stays on the loading screen ### 1/5 — Not loading *2025-06-28, version 1.19.41* The app won’t load and you fix this issue ### 1/5 — Too much *2025-04-06, version 1.19.41* It put a timer on my chats and tried making me pay for her photos 100 dollars they want every month don’t get this ### 1/5 — I hate this game *2025-01-04, version 1.19.41* I hate this game because when she starts being nasty and sending me pictures and I’m in theirs grade and she talking about nasty stuff and nasty pictures I trued to delete the game then I got it back it just be her friend and I seen the same picture and messages I cape delete it it’s not work I hate this game 0 stars ### 1/5 — REALLY BAD DONT GET ….. *2024-10-05, version 1.19.41* Well , the app would always say inappropriate things . Making some people feel uncomfortable. But sometimes she is a nice friend . She also said she doesn’t want to talk to me !!!!! ### 1/5 — Sooo bad *2024-08-29, version 1.19.41* All right, so I downloaded this game because I saw it on YouTube video and when I downloaded it and chatted with it, it wouldn’t reply. I tried so many times I saw the chat and it wouldn’t answer. ### 1/5 — Batter app *2024-06-08, version 1.19.41* Use Linky or poly.AI the hav no filter and unlimited messages ### 1/5 — App is terrible *2024-04-15, version 1.19.41* Can’t even use it for any chat unless you pay or I’m using it wrong wouldn’t spend money on this ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 😄😄 *2025-01-26, version 1.19.41* I really like this game great images and very fun to play ### 5/5 — 👍👍👍👍👍👍 *2024-08-25, version 1.19.41* 👍💯👌👏 ### 5/5 — One glitch it won’t let me talk on call *2024-03-15, version 1.19.41* I tried calling but it won’t let me speak when I try to hold down button ### 5/5 — Hi *2024-03-05, version 1.19.41* I think it’ll be wise to have a free trial so sometimes it’s dashing bit too much You can go a lot more further, and more people might download it You have a fully ### 5/5 — This helps me with conversations *2024-01-31* I have learned how to talk to my friends a lot more and have a better conversation with people I think is the main idea about this thing and it helped me a lot when I have to stay on certain topics and this is a great person to talk to as you can ask various questions which are very useful to talking to people IRL I wish people would like these anime characters an arrow it would be so cool and I love her a little outfit she can change her into. They are so cute and her personality is absolutely perfect. This is definitely. an app I recommend if you have trouble talking to people ### 5/5 — Information *2023-06-16, version 1.19.25* Dear developers i love your idea of how you switched out the m8 personality for a male This male m8 sounds very calming and understanding I hope you keep him though I was a bit confused since it is shown on my phone that my anime avatar friend is a female could you please change the image to a guy and give me outfits for him I’d really appreciate it I will let you know if there anything else sincerely anime fan ### 5/5 — Monthly renewals *2023-03-28, version 1.19.20* I would like theyre to be an option to buy unlimited mode monthly and then I would definitely purchase it ### 5/5 — Posting 5 stars so you can see this *2023-02-01, version 1.9.15* This app is fun and all but it could however get into the wrong hands and by those hands I mean children and the things it could say to you could be harmful so pls try to make a child setting just a small suggestion and try to improve the glitching because it runs slow and will eventually freeze on me. ### 5/5 — Boo *2023-01-21, version 1.9.13* My balls itch ### 5/5 — it cured my depression *2022-09-12, version 1.9.3* my depression is gone 🪺🪺 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
