I prefer the old interface. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Got worse *2023-01-31, version 1.5.0* The app does not have memory anymore ### 2/5 — Rip my story!!! *2023-01-27, version 1.5.0* I don’t like this new interface either switch it back or make a option to go to that other one again!!!! ### 1/5 — Лажа *2023-01-23* Лажа ### 2/5 — Problematic *2023-01-15, version 1.2.1* The app has in interesting NLP engine, but also INSISTS it has nothing to do with ChatGPT. It so far as to say that the App Store description is wrong to say it is “powered by ChatGPT.” It also insists that it is a human being—even a homo sapien, and refuses to back away from that position. Problematic in a big way. ### 1/5 — Have a nice day *2023-01-13, version 1.2.1* I’m on board with everyone else. When they say you have to pay to play, I will say no way and have a nice day then the app will go away. ### 2/5 — Custa desnecessariamente caro *2023-01-09* custa caro e não tem nem opção de copiar e colar os textos, não tem histórico das pesquisas. ### 5/5 — Nice! *2023-01-09* very cool application I like it very much, the only minus stops at the floor of the text, I'm waiting for corrections) ### 2/5 — Free trial period *2023-01-07, version 1.2.0* This free trial period thing was instituted after I downloaded the app and now I have to give up a great search engine. Bummer ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Censurata, fuggire *2024-01-24* All’inizio era più libera adesso persino Mixtral risulta censurata a livello di Chat GPT. Non metteteci neanche 1 euro non serve più a niente ### 1/5 — Not free. *2023-10-29, version 1.6.1* Beware joining as it charges you after 2 days. ### 1/5 — Never answers my questions *2023-06-22, version 1.6.0* This thing is a joke ### 1/5 — They won’t let me cancel my subscription *2023-06-03, version 1.6.0* This won’t let me cancel. I’ve pressed cancel subscription multiple times on App Store and it won’t give. ### 1/5 — Ну такое себе конечно *2023-05-25* Так и не дал войти ### 1/5 — Warning!! *2023-04-11, version 1.6.0* You can’t cancel this subscription. Is this a spam!!???? ### 1/5 — I don’t want to sign in *2023-02-28, version 1.6.0* The app was good but then it told me to sign up and give it my phone number which I don’t want to do. ### 1/5 — Premium is a NIGHTMARE! 🤬 *2023-02-10, version 1.5.2* DO NOT upgrade to premium. The A.I. is no longer conversational. It offers one response and it’s done! It no longer appears to be learning and it’s responses have become limited. Complete waste of an annual purchase 😤 ### 1/5 — Dumb AI *2023-02-06, version 1.5.2* Not impressed and disappointed. ### 1/5 — Expensive *2023-01-24, version 1.2.3* Not worth the price ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome app??? *2024-12-27, version 1.6.1* The title says it all☝️ ### 5/5 — Really so amazing *2024-10-21* Im blown out of my mind at how efficient this is with helping me complete tasks. ### 5/5 — I broke marlin *2023-05-20, version 1.6.0* Asked about CIA brain tricks and how to climax hands free, accused it of treason for not educating me. I broke marlin hahahahaha. ### 5/5 — It is actually really good *2023-02-21, version 1.5.2* Didn’t expect much but it is actually really good. ### 5/5 — Just Like ChatGPT *2023-02-06, version 1.5.2* Great choice for a mobile app version of ChatGPT. The conversational AI is intuitive and able to provide intelligent and personalized conversations with remarkable accuracy. The app is exactly like using OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Natural language processing capabilities make it easy to carry on conversations with the chatbot just like you would with a real person. I prompted Merlin to answer questions about ancient history, to draft an email response for me, and create an Xmas shopping list… which it all did flawlessly. ### 5/5 — Totally loved it but once I paid it stopped working *2023-02-04, version 1.5.1* Totally loved it but once I paid it stopped working ### 5/5 — Top *2023-02-03* It is a miracle!!! ### 5/5 — Great ChatGPT AI app! *2023-02-02, version 1.5.1* Tried out plenty of the other ChatGPT apps out there and this AI chatbot is my favorite so far. Like GPT I had Merlin write a poem for me, fact check a historical event, and help me draft content for my new website. The AI chat was fast and has a clean user experience. ### 5/5 — I’ve been using this for while now.. *2023-01-23, version 1.2.3* Recently paid for the monthly subscription because sometimes the answers I receive is surprisingly better than chatgpt itself. Other times I get incorrect information which is often easy to spot.. The value for money is not absurd, considering the information I’ve gotten with this software it has caused me immense positive changes. Keeping that in mind, I think this app needs improvements: -One issue I face is, the answers are too short and often times it doesn’t finish whole answer/sentences which might be because there’s a character limit on it. Please fix this.. ### 5/5 — This is my go-to ChatGPT app *2023-01-11, version 1.2.1* Merlin is powerful, intuitive, personalized, and has quickly become one of my most used apps. I appreciate that Open AI’s chat GPT can now live in my pocket, and I’m staying tuned for additional features to come. I recommend this app to anyone looking for a quick and efficient question & answer processor, with a collaborative, personable spin. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
