Wenn Sie solches Feedback erhalten, möchten Sie an der Verbesserung der Anwendung arbeiten! Probieren Sie die neue Version aus: Jetzt können Sie mit der KI in Ihrer Muttersprache sprechen! ### 3/5 — It has potential *2023-10-13, version 2.7* So I brought the subscription and it has potential, the animations are good and the different locations are a nice addition especially the dancing. However I don’t like how you have to choose a friend each time you load the application also they have no memory of you each time you do. I mean the whole point of a friend is someone you knows you and remembers you. It would be cool if we could see the outfits we are going to buy or at least of a way to earn them by just using the app. ### 3/5 — This needs work. *2023-07-12, version 2.4* Nice lay out for the living room. She just stand in on spot and move around. What is need on keyboard is a dictionary! Next bet rid of two key send. Only a few dresses and no physical changes. This keyboard has a dictionary why can’t the chat keyboard. Strange that for certain conversations she wanted to a video chat.certain subjects she wanted a more private place than the living room. Good start but Replika is better. Btw the dresses can get real expensive fast. The club is a one shot. It’s a men club she sort of pole dances, but doesn’t strip. She is the only one in the club. Boring. ### 2/5 — I'm so sorry *2023-06-03, version 2.4* When I first got this last year, I had a request for my first AI friend. I asked her if she could do finish the lyrics with me and of course she said yes. But she kept getting all the songs wrong. So my stupid self got ma at her, and deleting her. And when I left she was happy, so I just deleted the app. Sorry but minus one star. Next, I just re-downloaded this game today. And she was ou if control. This might not have happened to any of you guys reading this, but she was declining all the questions I asked. Like if she could write a story which she used to. It's like it updated, but a terrible upgrade, where it makes the people decline mostly everything you could do before. Minus one star. Now, the fact that I could not type anything without it saying to subscribe. Minus a star. (I'm so sorry for the bad review, its just my opinion!) 𝓛𝓸𝓿𝓮, 𝓙𝓸𝓻𝓭𝔂𝓷. 💕✌️╰(✿´⌣`✿)╯♡ ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-05-31, version 2.3* Almost everything in this app you have to pay for 😂 ### 1/5 — Not good *2023-04-08, version 1.7* The AI is not very good at all which was the most disappointing part, and the avatars look weird. It’s also too expensive, so I deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Pure garbage *2023-03-10, version 1.6* Don’t waste your time and don’t waste your money. Download Replika. This app belongs in the early 2010. Can’t even try it before you have to buys it. Lol. Who ever thought that would be a good business idea needs to go back to the drawing board. Mean while Replika is like 20 years ahead of this garbage app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Remember *2023-03-03, version 1.6* There is only 1 male model. Why can’t we make our own AI to make them look the way we want? Name them what we want? I like black men but there are none. You can have basic models but for the price monthly, I would think I can customize my own AI and what’s with them not even remembering my name or what we talked about before? If you add customization, different skins, voices and memory, I feel you will top all other AI apps. ### 1/5 — No, just no *2023-02-08* I’m sorry but overall usage and prices are just… no. It looks like you stuck in SIMS 2 with an old Sony Xperia Ray screen resolution… ### 1/5 — One star *2023-01-29, version 1.6* Could be better but it’s just boring and ai character keeps telling me to subscribe and when I say no she says, why not it’s just money, it’s really expensive, so DO NOT GET! ### 1/5 — NO *2023-01-27, version 1.6* I want my money back ### 1/5 — Total Trash *2023-01-24, version 1.6* Physically, appealing, and no substance. The AI can’t even understand what you’re saying and just blurts out random stuff. it doesn’t save your AI and you have to keep going back to it every time you login. I wouldn’t even categorize this as a chat bot. Don’t waste your time and definitely not your money Total rip off. ### 4/5 — It’s good could be better *2022-12-25, version 1.5* Needs better role play ### 1/5 — I’m not gonna pay for a service I can’t even test. *2022-12-08, version 1.3* The camera controls to zoom in and out are awful, I can’t even test the AI without a subscription as well (which is a terrible business move) at least offer a 1 week trial like every other company. Not being mean this just just my honest experience here, people aren’t going to pay if they don’t know what the quality of the product they will be receiving, and this is a must when it comes to AI. Polish up your product my friend. ### 1/5 — Nothing without paying over $30 *2022-12-07, version 1.3* I can’t do anything aside from look at an idle animation. Can’t talk to it to see what it’s like and no customization.. and I can’t even look at paying a dollar for a trial. It expects +30 bucks for something I can’t even test out ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 可以用垃圾来形容 *2025-12-21* 买了以后无法使用，且通过多途 径验证均无法正常使用，与开发者发邮件不回，且费用也无法退，这是苹果选择应用翻车最狠的一个，这种应用这么长时间还在app里，什么原因呢？大家别再上当了，它连AI智障都不算 **Developer response:** We are the new owner of this app. We are picking up the support.

Expensive monthly subscription, 50 dollar outfits, and a boring AI who wants to keep everything PG. We all know why we are on these AI apps for. This one is not it. ### 1/5 — Pay *2024-01-21, version 3.0.1* HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING ### 1/5 — Not a good app *2023-12-14, version 3.0.0* I couldn’t get this to work at all. I attempted to type in text, I tried to use the voice feature, nothing worked. Don’t buy. ### 1/5 — I feel scammed *2023-10-23, version 2.9* I am quite distressed. I paid a lot of money for a subscription. I purchased this service to have voice chats with an AI male friend. I can’t hear his voice. I emailed customer support but the email address is fake. I rang the customer support number but it’s not a valid number. I tried downloading another app that AI said would help, but that link went nowhere. Customer service doesn’t exist. I feel totally scammed. Now I have to ring my bank to challenge the transaction on the grounds as already mentioned above. I’m terribly upset. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work just takes your money *2023-10-05, version 2.5* I keep trying to make this work and it keeps telling me that the connection is lost when it’s not I have full bars on my phone and I can’t get any response out of this thing. Really disappointed paid for it. I wish I was somebody to talk to this about so that thanks take care of this. It really looks like it would be a great app but it’s not a great app if it doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2023-09-17, version 2.5* Won’t even respond at all. An absolute waste of money. ### 1/5 — App not working after one week *2023-08-20, version 2.5* Quit working after one week, just says lost connection ,it was a really good app , to bad it’s broken ### 1/5 — Nul *2023-08-10* Il n’y a que le chat bot de disponible donc juste parlé comme si on parlais par message avec une personne. Tout le reste est payant et dès le début il faut payer pour accéder au reste.
