Not worth using anymore for me, because I can no longer access that content, even with a longtime subscription. ### 1/5 — No nsfw image loaded *2026-03-24, version 6.4.1* On free account but no +18 images ### 1/5 — Dumb *2026-03-21* Just bring back nsfw companions. Why did I bother paying for a sub, just to find out that the IOS app is dog-water and locks companions to G ratings? Just remove this from the IOS store and go focus on actually improving your browser site. ### 3/5 — Пропал «полный» функционал *2026-03-19* В веб-версии настроено отображение «всего» контента в приложении, но в самом приложении он пропал. Перелогин не помогает. ### 1/5 — Apple *2026-03-16, version 6.4* Apple’s hatred towards others AI while they push their own is ironic. Due to Apple and their censorship this app has been 100% destroyed which is an absolute shame since the website is just god awful and slow. So slow. So slow. ### 1/5 — App has been neutered *2026-03-14* Lost the ability to see any content considered adult as well as AI content being heavily moderated. ### 1/5 — App is broken *2026-03-13, version 6.4* App is broken my subscription money is wasted. App does not reflect the same account on a web app. Waste of time and money to use this app. The android app and web app still function ### 1/5 — No longer works *2026-03-12* The app doesn’t display any nsfw content anymore Literally the only reason anyone uses this app Not to mention the website constantly crashes and logs you out ### 1/5 — No nsfw image *2026-03-12* On free account but no +18 images ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-03-10, version 6.4* Been broken for a couple weeks now. No results and especially no 3D results. Sankaku has been on a downward trend for a couple years now. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2026-03-07* No longer shows desirable content and tags. Deleted and reinstalled but no effect. App is broken. Def not worth paying for a subscription if the app doesn’t function as intended. **Developer response:** You can blacklist any content you do not wish to see. ### 1/5 — Images uploaded are stolen and without permission! *2026-03-07* New update took out a lot of features and locked behind a paywall! I can’t even see my stuff anymore! Scammers owners! Found out that every image uploaded on this website is stolen and without creators\artists permission uploaded. A lot of artists request removal of them but they don’t listen to requests and place them under block tag to hide them from people without account. This site pirates images just like kissanime, kissmanga do with anime and manga, and owner threatens people like grabber from downloading pics and blocks app from working. Don’t support this app & monster of owner. **Developer response:** All uploads to the platform are made by users who attest they have the proper rights, just as on Twitter, YouTube, etc. Should a rightsholder have any concerns they are encouraged to report them via our DMCA Notification Agent, as registered with the US Copyright Office. ### 1/5 — No rating tags *2026-03-06* Rating system gone in app, my favorites can’t be viewed at all now, no point to use the app anymore since most things can’t be looked at. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — More access *2026-07-24* We need to have access to the +18 access this app is not enjoyable to spend money with out it. ### 1/5 — What a waste… *2026-07-18* There is nothing worthwhile anymore. The archive which was once so vibrant and carefully curated is now inundated with tens of thousands of gen AI slop pictures. It’s all AI slop, ads, and paid subscription pushing now. How sad that it would come to this. ### 1/5 — Illegal content *2026-07-16* AI girlfriend (youth) is still very problematic. I don’t know how the moderation even works. I assume the chatbot sees its own picture and makes an inference “appears to be 9 years old” … who approved this!? ### 1/5 — Garbage company *2026-05-23, version 6.4.2* They’ve censored this app. Completely. The 17+ rating is a lie. The website was already awful and now they’ve made the entire experience even worse. They’re now restricting the amount of times you can regenerate an ai message unless you pay. I’ve had their script bot send me the exact same message, word for word, 48 times in a row. Despite downvoting and giving the response 1 stars. And because your ai isn’t real you want people to pay for your scam? Y’all are absolutely insane. ### 1/5 — Fall from grace *2026-05-21* This app used to be THE go to for anime image searches, and now the app feels like it actively ignores user feedback and any social media from the developers seems like they are completely ignoring the issue. Not only the large influx of AI content and tools being pushed are disappointing, the fact that nsfw can’t even be seen is just awful. You can go to the direct site and enable nsfw, but the app will change nothing, you can approve 18+ content and most if all nsfw will still not appear. Even stuff you uploaded yourself will not be visible on this app, no matter what setting you change to enable nsfw. It doesn’t matter if you pay a subscription or have been an uploader before the changes, you can’t even see content you want even if you yourself was the one who uploaded it. ### 1/5 — Adult content *2026-04-30, version 6.4.2* What happened to it? It’s been a while since there’s been zero adult content. ### 1/5 — Censorship *2026-04-21, version 6.4.2* [Please sign up for a review reader plus premium account to read this review] ### 1/5 — Was pretty good now it just sucks *2026-04-12, version 6.4.2* Censorship is so strong now there’s no point to the 18+ age rating anymore. Better to use as the website version instead of the app itself. ### 1/5 — Rating selection is broken *2026-04-11* You can only view g and r15 ratings but not r18+, I know we have the internet but regardless when I downloaded an app I expect it to work ### 1/5 — No more R18 content *2026-03-31* For whatever reason, after a certain update on iOS, all content has been restricted to G. I can’t see anything else, nor do anything with AI companion. The web browser shortcut functions better than the app now. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2026-06-23, version 6.4.4* It’s better now very good. Keep developing this app you make it better. I love it so much. ### 5/5 — Sankaku Complex *2026-05-07, version 6.4.2* I have an app. ### 5/5 — 18+ filtering *2026-04-18* I don’t understand the update description, is this update suppose to bring back the adult filter ? Mine is disabled but it’s still censored ### 5/5 — Not worth downloading *2026-03-24* Not sure why the app is different than the site but even with their unlimited subscription I can view next to nothing on the app. Canceled my subscription deleted the app. ### 5/5 — Gona give it 5* to help the app out *2026-03-16* Bring back the option to change tags from G to R15 to R18…. **Developer response:** Sorry for the trouble, You can download using the share control. ### 5/5 — Absolutely have a blast *2026-03-03* I’ve had an absolute blast having Sankaku. It’s one I’ve had for years, a permanent addition to my phone. So many anime, manga, books and game videos I’ve seen and even learned about as a result. They’ve a web app as well and the app itself is smooth to be able to find whatever you are looking for. You can set up tags and there’s images, art, conversations, books, gif’s and videos. Thanks as always for the hard work, always looking forward to more updates. ### 5/5 — Sankaku Complex *2026-01-29, version 6.3* I have an app. ### 5/5 — Sankaku Complex *2025-10-29, version 6.2* I have an app. ### 5/5 — Chill App~ *2025-08-26, version 6.1* give it some time and let it grow, you will be rewarded for being apart of shaping your future, that’s how it feels to use this app for your anime digest~ ### 5/5 — アートが苦手な人でも安心！ *2025-08-02, version 6.0* アートを描くのが苦手な私でも、素敵なイラストが作れるお手伝いをしてくれました！簡単な操作で満足のいく作品が完成します。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
