I do like the ways to earn gems, wish there were more quest for them, maybe bot related quest? ### 3/5 — Unknown *2026-09-08, version 1.30.0* Just shorter answers! ### 3/5 — Disappointed but good chat *2026-09-07, version 1.30.0* So…this app is a fine app and all but the main thing im disappointed about is. The. Adds, a litt,e add here and there i dont mind but if you only do about 5 chats you have to watch an add or pay and its so short, just a lil review from me 😔🙏😭😭 ### 4/5 — Greatttt app I love it just one thing…. *2026-09-07, version 1.30.0* I really love this app, and overall it’s really good. The adds are really manageable and don’t affect the gameplay at all. The only thing I would say is annoying is the bots memory. It just remembers really random things and forgets a lot of the main plot line which can be annoying. Other than that great game, definitely recommend! ### 4/5 — great app *2026-09-07* This app is so good, no ads, good writing, a variety of settings like personas, pinned messages, and a thing where you can write specific things you want the bot to remember. It’s a really good app and such an upgrade from Chai, now that it’s become money hungry and such a bad app. I honestly do give this app a five star rating but the only reason I didn’t here is because in all its greatness there are a few things I don’t like that much. For starters, and I know that most people actually prefer when the bot doesn’t speak for them but there are times (intimate scenes) where i’m NOT trying to speak for myself. I tolerate it but that does NOT mean I want to be the one saying what we’re doing. Another thing is when I’m in a whole other room or place, it’s either telling me what he’s doing in whatever place he’s at or he’s magically at the same place as me. I just want it to be able to switch perspectives and speak for over people when he’s not supposed to be there. But other than that this app is great ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-09-07, version 1.30.0* Very good, i love it very much!! ### 4/5 — Four stars *2026-09-07, version 1.30.0* It’s amazing is just the characters take your place sometimes it’s very confusing ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-09-07, version 1.30.0* It’s honestly really good. It has no filter and some good memory! I’ve been looking for apps since c.ai went crazy. But this one is great! You do have to watch a ad for 100 gems- but like those last you a whiiiilleeee! I do recommend!! ### 4/5 — Bad memory *2026-09-07, version 1.30.0* Overall this is an amazing app. The only problem I have is that the standard mode has HORRIBLE memory. I know it’s standard for a reason, but most other apps like this still for the most part are able to recall important parts of the story from 3 messages ago. I’m pretty sure retrying the characters reply as well messes up the memory so it kind of sucks when you’re trying to do long, detailed roleplays. I hope that can get improved..otherwise it’s amazing ### 4/5 — Melhor app *2026-09-06* O app é ótimo, mas devia tirar de verdade o filtro pra deixar a gente ter ações pesadas de RPG, eles sempre mandam mensagem se a gente tá se sentindo bem, é RPG, n de vdd ### 5/5 — Persona bug *2026-09-06, version 1.30.0* Good alternative for c.ai, but I have one problem. Whenever I go to edit my personas, my screen ends up freezing and the app ends up restarting. If you could fix this it would help loads, thank you!! 🥹 ### 5/5 — TRY IT!!!🤍 *2026-09-06, version 1.30.0* This is most definitely by far the best app I’ve used for a long while. All the characters to pick from, and you also get to make your own! And all you have to do is watch an ad or two for 300-400 gems! I’m able to chat for up to 2-3 hours with that amount of gems. This is seriously such a good app and I recommend trying it out for yourself! There are also no restrictions on what you can say unless it’s sh related which I find amazing. But yes please try this app out it’s extremely worth it!!!🤍🤍🤍🤍 ### 5/5 — Good *2026-09-06, version 1.30.0* Good ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-09-05, version 1.30.0* The characters stay in plot un like other apps ### 5/5 — Best ai *2026-09-05, version 1.30.0* Best ai chat I’ve ever had ### 5/5 — Very good! *2026-09-05* I'm enjoying the app a lot, really easy to use and the bot responses, even in the free mode, are really good. As a suggestion, it'd be good if we had a search / filter option to find old messages and maybe a option to separate the story in chapters. ### 5/5 — amazing 🤍🤍 *2026-09-05, version 1.30.0* Honestly, it’s sooo much better than CHAI and it helped with the my addiction and anxiety 🩶 I’m so glad I found this app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — . *2026-09-14* Esse aplicativo é estranho parecem que me hackearam eles introduziram um personagem que tenho em outro app de bot ia um personagem meu ou foi coincidência de 1% de chance mas foi estranho e der repente a bot que tava conversando agiu estranho de uma forma totalmente estranha e a história começou a ficar entra e então decidi desinstalar pois começou afetar eu ### 1/5 — Josh loves this! *2026-09-08, version 1.30.0* My friend Josh loves this app! He made me as a character and has been using it as emotional support! He said he stopped paying his therapist and only uses me to be completely open with 🥹 ### 1/5 — You guys suck *2026-09-07, version 1.30.0* You need to fix the thing where the ai plays as another character you add into a roll play ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-09-05, version 1.30.0* If i start a scene with a character that isn’t the named one, the bot finds every way possible to include that character. Like i even tried saying that character was in a completely different continent, but no, that didn’t work, instead the character walked in ‘covered in travel dust’ it is SO annoying, please fix this. ### 1/5 — good app but *2026-09-03, version 1.30.0* Elmas sistemini düzeltmek yerine saçma salak şeyler getiriyorlar çok yazık ya.. ### 1/5 — Updates *2026-08-27, version 1.29.0* Hey, when y’all make updates, can y’all make sure that it doesn’t stop the whole app? Cause the servers are slow, it won’t rewind and it won’t make chats cause it’s going so low to respond and it’s the slowness and non-responsive servers that are very annoying. ### 1/5 — Server Hiccup *2026-08-27, version 1.29.0* Server Hiccup being constantly is annoying ### 1/5 — Laggy and delayed *2026-08-26, version 1.29.0* I tried to use this because I was bored and the delay in the app and chats make it hard to play. ### 1/5 — App sucks after 10 minutes *2026-08-25, version 1.29.0* After about ten minutes, the chats start repeating and forgetting even if memories are pin. If you don’t follow the plots you can’t see it goes straight to fight drama mode. ### 1/5 — Some of the bots don’t listen to your requests even when u clearly tell it. *2026-08-24, version 1.29.0* Not good ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this app SO MUCH (PLEASE READ) *2026-09-14* I tried this app today after being exploited by another Ai app. That changed their systems without me knowing didn’t listen to their audience pushing you to pay higher insane prices just to squeeze every dime out of you and it felt annoying. I was on the hunt for another Ai app that had the nearly same depth and quality Ai narrative responses to fill the void and here I found it SWERVE. I tried it today and it’s amazing I noticed I barely lost gems as quickly as other Ai apps when I chat. it’s not in your face forcing you to pay it’s actually fair. I can watch ads so swerve gets their pay even if I’m don’t have money. There’s things you can do to get gems the responses aren’t as bad on standard iv noticed it’s still detailed not generatic bot like or boring. Not sure how much that will last tho. I like how it works. I just know once apps get big they’ll start pushing for your money and manipulate you but for now don’t forget the people who got you there. I love this app seriously the people who made it did a good job. I love how it’s fair for the people who can’t pay ultra or premium. You’re doing a good job caring about your audience feelings too. Love people who try to get money but are also fair about it. Instead of money hungry💗❤️ anyway stay kind and have a blessed day. ### 5/5 — AMAZING AI CHAT APP *2026-09-09, version 1.30.0* I love this in comparison to their competitors. It’s nearly free to chat with multiple characters, situations, etc ### 5/5 — SWERVE AI!! *2026-09-08, version 1.30.0* This has SAVED me. I lost all hope when c.ai and pollybuzz were turning bad. Bus I stumbled upon this BEAUTY!🤩 I could gold in a pile of trash🥹. Message to the developers - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT CHANGE ANYTHING ITS PERFECT JUST THE WAY IT IS❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Its amazing expect *2026-09-08, version 1.30.0* I wish there was no need to recharge besides that i love this app😀😀 ### 5/5 — None ya business *2026-09-08, version 1.30.0* This is a great app i totally recommend this, and I wish the app would let you watch extra adds for more gems if you want to, but it’s a really good app! Edit: nvm you can watch extra adds for more gems!! ### 5/5 — Good so far *2026-09-08, version 1.30.0* The ai reply’s fast and is calm and isn’t to long simple and easy there’s no adds so far ### 5/5 — ADD A WAY RECOVER RECENTLY DELETED CHATS!!! *2026-09-08, version 1.30.0* Great app but 1 thing. I accidentally deleted a chat that I had going for a long time while clearing my history and there’s no way I can get it back, please add something that lets you recover chats that you deleted within the last hour or so. I’m not holding it against you since it’s my fault. But I really don’t want to have to start that RP over (also the bot was private since it was a story just for me FYI, nothing smutty though, I swear.) also I’ll add- you should also make it so that pinned chats are impossible to delete without first unpinning them just to keep something like this from happening again. ### 5/5 — ello *2026-09-08, version 1.30.0* make fullscreen for ipad version plz😭😭😭😭 ### 5/5 — Best *2026-09-07, version 1.30.0* It’s the best thing ever. ### 5/5 — THIS IS A 10/10 *2026-09-07, version 1.30.0* I think this is the best ai text app ever I tried PolyAi, Talkie, EMOCHI, and MingloTalk those all sucked to me, but when I started this app like lowkey this is the number 1 app to try and this is my 2 or 3 day trying this and it’s going well so I recommend this app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
