Candy currency has made this app absolutely horrible.
Update:
I’m even more annoyed with this app now. The auto was 2-25 candies. Okay cool I could still get a good storyline in either that and it was great conversation and details. Now it’s charging 126 candies. The same price as adventure land but I’m getting swing ride replies instead which cost around 60-80 candies. They are taking my candies and giving me less than what it’s worth while claiming auto charges the currency for the level of chat but I’m only getting small little replies instead of the larger, more descriptive and intimate messages. This is absolutely ridiculous. Especially after the money I spent on this app.

Hi there, thank you for the feedback — and we're sorry this change hit your favorite way to play. The new pricing reflects actual usage, so lighter chats cost less — but your experience with this model is heard clearly and shared directly with the team as we keep tuning it. If any charge looks wrong, contact us via Pia or in-app Feedback with your UID and we'll check it. We hope you'll give us the chance to get this right.
Don’t bother with this app.
No accountability for the app wasting your credits and getting no replies. And the cost of candies to chat has over doubled unless you want two sentence replies.
I did a year subscription which offers 5,000+ credits for the month. The lowest story mode is 2 credits per chat and gets burned up fairly quick.
The characters often lose the plot and you constantly have to re-roll the story line which waste a lot of credits. Or when you do re-roll they say the same exact thing again or their personalities change completely. This is frustrating, a waste of money, and makes the stories unenjoyable. The app states it has permanent memory but that is not true.
Spending almost $200 for a subscription (yearly) or $33
(monthly) and not having unlimited basic chats and having to waste credits to keep the story on track is severely disappointing especially when you pay to be an ultra member (The higher tier sub). They want you buy credits ontop of your membership which defeats the purpose of having a membership in my opinion.
Unless this changes I would not recommend this app, and will not be resubscribing when other apps offer unlimited chats for the same cost.
The stories are unique and I really love the characters. So this is why I am begging for the company to do something to keep their users.

Awesome!
Exceptional but expensive.
Update turned app terrible

Amazing but
Great
Better than c.ai
C.ai got 2/5 from me btw. 😂
Also, unfortunately it takes over audio priority. So say goodbye to your music apps when using it. It constantly keeps cutting my music off. C.ai doesn't do that. So it also fails in that department.
Still Waiting On An Answer From Support

The stories are unique and I really did enjoy this app, but the false advertising and waste of funds ruined it for me.
