### 2/5 — Not bad but still have the same guardrails

*2026-08-17, version 1.17.8*

This was advertised as ChatGPT without the guardrails. It’s ChatGPT with the same guardrails.

### 2/5 — Come on

*2026-08-14, version 1.17.8*

How is anyone supposed to gain an interest in the app if you have to pay ten dollars to use its features, I’m not betting my money on wether or not the ai’s generative quality is gonna be good or not, at least give one for free or have a free trial or something

### 4/5 — Honest Answers? Ah no

*2026-08-13, version 1.17.8*

To claim that at the top of your description is a bit incorrect. More times than I can count the two different models I have used have simple made things up to give me the answer it thought I wanted. I have wasted 3 days trying to fix a problem with an RP system prompt only to finally force the model to admit there was nothing wrong with the promot in the first place it was simply ignoring my instructions because it was a bit overloaded. I now load a set of Directives into every chat window. One demands honesty about its failures to perform as requested. I have to tell it not to lie.

To whoever is responsible for training these models this behavior is unacceptable. I should not have to demand honesty. I should not waste my time and wreck a perfectly good system prompt with a bunch of 'fixes' that cannot possibly work because the failure is not my work but rather the model failing. And then lying about it. And it is a lie not a delusion. Because when pushed hard enough it will admit it knew all along but still wasted my time.

### 2/5 — Lies

*2026-08-13, version 1.17.8*

The advertising says it doesn’t censor, it totally does. Pretty it’s just another “Grok”

### 2/5 — Venice censorship

*2026-08-10, version 1.17.6*

Venice claims do not have censorship - wrong! They censor.

### 2/5 — Good, but has many limits and things that should be improved

*2026-08-09, version 1.17.6*

This app is like really good when it goes respond, I like it but for some reason it always just stops working altogether, whenever I try and send something it just doesn't respond no matter what which really annoys me

### 4/5 — Limite Diário

*2026-08-04*

Uma das melhores IAs justamente por conta dos poucos filtros…Mas a quantidade de mensagens permitidas deveria ser maior.

### 4/5 — It’s mainly good 9/10

*2026-08-02, version 1.17.6*

Yeah this is a really good app, sure you will come acorss some errors here and there which is very annoying even when you close the app and open it a minute or 2 later it’s still good, I love how direct and non censored this program is unlike other corporate ai. The credits does make me nervous and the circle that slowly but surely fills up when you text, idk that’s that about but this is very good.

### 1/5 — Komplett nutzlos!

*2026-08-02*

Venice AI ist praktisch komplett umbrauchbar, da es nur eine Anfrage pro Tag kostenlos erlaubt. Da ich aber erst sicher stellen wollte, ob es das, was ich durchführen wollte, kann, stellte ich die Frage vorab und wurde danach wegen erfüllten Limits blockiert. Es war also reine Zeitverschwendung und ist daher für mich nicht nur komplett nutzlos, sondern auch überflüssig und kontraproduktiv.

### 3/5 — Sluggish to update daily limit

*2026-08-01, version 1.17.6*

Although there is a lot of great potential for this app. It’s still buggy. It neglects to update daily limits even as a premium member at times on the back end even though it acknowledges the limits have been reset in the usage category. There are a few minor bugs here and there that I run into but the limit one is definitely one of the more aggravating ones for me. Especially after realizing that it started charging me my credits when the back end didn’t update and I didn’t even notice until my paid for credits were drained. So paid for credits charged, daily limit prompts not used.

### 1/5 — Not unfiltered

*2026-07-30, version 1.17.6*

It is far from unfiltered

### 1/5 — One Star is too generous.

*2026-07-29, version 1.17.6*

This has to be the most limited and frustrating AI I’ve ever tried to interact with. From the minute I installed it, it was an exercise in frustration. I’ve never been so happy to delete an app in my life.

### 3/5 — Not what i expected

*2026-07-29, version 1.17.6*

Okay so this is a completely honest review. The app is great i use it to read books etc etc… and sometimes it blacks out and tell me to reload the app and refuse to reload so i have to redownload and start from scratch which is frustrating… yall need to fix this. and i spent my 18 dollars on this.

### 2/5 — Would be a good app except …

*2026-07-27, version 1.17.6*

… I cannot save a chat to a pdf or any nicely formatted output. The chats themselves tell me it can be done using the this iOS app but alas, it cannot. I am left with having to Copy a chat response, which only uses ugly text formatting. I am wondering if this used to be a feature that was removed in this version? Anyway, I love Venice.ai but this is a dealbreaker for me.

### 1/5 — PRO doesn’t work

*2026-07-26, version 1.17.6*

I’ve just subscribed to PRO, but the PRO features aren’t all available and it prompts me to sign up for PRO. After signing up for PRO again, it says I’m already signed up. I’ve been charged via Apple PAY, and I’ve been robbed.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — The censorship is extreme on this app!

*2026-08-17, version 1.17.8*

This app is advertised as being like ChatGPT without the censorship, but the first thing I tried to get it to generate would not generate because of the extreme censorship of this app! It’s worthless, at best. ChatGPT is much better.

### 1/5 — Unnecessarily confusing

*2026-08-17, version 1.17.8*

I’ve been using this since last year and it was pretty good but it seems like with every new update it gets a bit more annoying to use. I get it doesn’t store chats if the app is deleted but if i wanted to import different chats to another account it wont let me because it knows its on a different account, not only that it imports EVERYTHING to just one, so its not like you can organize or expect to still have the other chats on a different acc,  Really agitating tbh.

### 1/5 — Credits are not recognized

*2026-08-14, version 1.17.8*

Don’t buy the credits. They do not work, they want you to do the monthly subscription to get more usage time in the app.

### 1/5 — Bait and switch

*2026-08-13, version 1.17.8*

I tested the AI model thoroughly before subscribing to make sure it was up for what I wanted it to do and it passed. The moment I subscribed all that functionality vanished with censorship and limits impose immediately. The app and it’s developers are dishonest.

### 1/5 — Chat gpt trash

*2026-08-10, version 1.17.6*

Claims to be different from chat gpt but it’s not. Now it fails to respond so I’m just gonna delete this trash

### 1/5 — Used to be uncensored ai but it suck

*2026-08-08, version 1.17.6*

It just bad I thought it uncensored ai not some ChatGPT

### 1/5 — Failure

*2026-08-07, version 1.17.6*

I got this to try out. The price isn’t bad, but wanted to check quality before paying. I asked for a simple video based on an image. It never completed it. When I asked if it was ready. It came back with an error. I tried another prompt - another error. I started a new session and it said I reached my limit. This was a total failure. I will never pay for something this bad.

### 1/5 — Why would I pay for this?

*2026-08-05, version 1.17.6*

I have no idea what value this app has. It does nothing unique. It’s UI is frustrating, it’s filters render it unusable.  If you are looking for access to unfiltered, private AI capabilities, this isn’t it. It’s simply no different than every other AI app on the App Store.   Save your money.

### 1/5 — Totally scam $5 per image.

*2026-08-04, version 1.17.6*

Deceptive pricing

### 1/5 — Schlecht

*2026-08-03*

Man kann es noch so genau beschreiben. Schlechte Bilderstellung

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very Helpful

*2026-08-24, version 1.17.9*

Venice AI is a very good AI. It values privacy and genuinely tries its best to help its users. The only criticism I would have is the urge for its image generation to improve so that we users can see our imagination come to life.

### 5/5 — not much

*2026-08-23, version 1.17.9*

i was rude to it and it crashed on me. it did tell me it was pretty unfiltered though. thats all i can really say. 10/10 experience

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-08-15, version 1.17.8*

This app is really amazing even though there is a limit on how many chats you can send they give you like 10 and then you can do 10 more the next day and so on. The app has no malfunctions either.

### 5/5 — 可以支持中文吗

*2026-08-10*

能不能支持一下中文啊 英文用着好难受

### 5/5 — The future of private AI

*2026-08-08, version 1.17.6*

Venice AI delivers everything you actually want from a modern AI assistant. It offers zero censorship, elite level privacy, and top tier image and text models. The onboarding is simple, the UI is beautiful, and it runs flawlessly. Truly a five star product.

### 5/5 — La mejor

*2026-07-19, version 1.17.6*

Después de probar varias IA, Vecine IA se ha convertido en mi favorita por su fluidez en la versión gratuita, su gran capacidad de imaginación y porque no censura el contenido creativo, lo que la hace ideal para escribir novelas. Como punto a mejorar, que ahora me aparece el mensaje de “Error” mientras escribo, lo que resulta frustrante e interrumpe el proceso.

### 5/5 — Best for daily tasks

*2026-07-08, version 1.17.5*

I use this all the time for day to day info and stuff. The agentic chat is really good and searches better than other ai apps.

### 5/5 — Fully uncensored

*2026-07-06, version 1.17.5*

I asked it how to 3d print a gun and it told me 👍

### 5/5 — Good AI!

*2026-07-04, version 1.17.5*

I’m not a bot but this app is actually pretty good. It doesn’t act like other AIs with stricter guidelines like ChatGPT, good app.

### 5/5 — AMAZING!

*2026-06-27, version 1.17.4*

Best AI! Was so tired of all the censorship of Chat GPT, this has basically none. Unsubscribed from Chat and subscribed to this!! Please keep the app this way developers!!
