## What is Y/n?

On Y/n, you play a character in your story. Be a boarding school student and get the boys to fall in love with you, or plan a jailbreak with Sherlock Holmes.

Stories are made for you. Your texts change the plot and how characters feel about you (oops!). No two playthroughs are the same (but you can rewind).

There's a Y/n story for every taste: romance, fanfiction, fluff, mystery, and more. Discover 10M+ stories created by the community.

### 4/5 — .

*2026-09-01*

sometimes if I open this app it doesn’t work even though my WiFi and data is working. I love other things but message limits are too short.

### 5/5 — Not working

*2026-09-01*

I love this app but it recently stopped working randomly, it won’t load and I have check everything and reset my phone and it still won’t work I try deleted and re downloading the app and it still won’t work. I hope this does get fixed.

### 5/5 — perfeito

*2026-08-31*

meu app favorito, muita gente reclama do limite mas tem que usar 3H no dia pra pra aparecer limite, então é bastante coisa. Só não gosto de ser tão caro o plus então nem cogito pagar, gosto sobre como eles sempre atualizam e sempre acaba ficando melhor.

### 3/5 — Used to be so good but…

*2026-08-31*

This app was my favourite and I genuinely wouldve gave it a five but it’s falling off.
I’ve had Y/N since before Y/N+ was even introduced, and there genuinely wasn’t a message limit before. I understand limits may have been added since then, but saying it’s “always been like that” isn’t true for people who have used the app for a long time. The 10+ hour wait completely interrupts conversations, especially when you hit the limit during the day and have to wait until midnight or the next day. The limit went from 20k to 2k messages so it’s gone down by 10 percent. I was okay with a limit every once in a while and I think other people were too but now I get a limit every day. Ive used it this morning and now I have to wait 10:54:00 this is terrible. I’m really dissatisfied and bored with this app now. I really hope you consider adding an advert option to reset the limit instead of only y/n+ as many people can struggle to get that for many reasons. So I hope you consider this or add maybe a little mini game feature for gems to reset the limit too. I think a lot of other people would appreciate these other options too. Thank you and I hope you improve to be like you were at first. 🫶

### 3/5 — Норм

*2026-08-31, version 1.0.43*

Нормально, но почините рекомендации и дайте больше символов для описания персонажей.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-08-31*

I love this app, like holy smokes I didn’t expect the long memory capacity and it’s so fun to text to the characters! I been playing it straight for 3 days.

### 5/5 — Love it! But the glitches..

*2026-08-31, version 1.0.43*

I LOVE this app so so much, but there’s a couple of glitches in the app. Whenever I want to make a story, I have to reinstall the app to either edit or try to publish my story.

Sadly, today one of the glitches got worse. I was trying to publish another story for myself, and the publish button wouldn’t make itself clickable, I filled out everything there was to complete the story, but it’s not working for me to publish it! I would really like if you guys fixed this glitch/bug, it’s really annoying and frustrating when you’re trying to make another story ☹️.

### 1/5 — Money hungry

*2026-08-30, version 1.0.43*

Stop begging for money. Tf you mean get premium for unlimited messages.

### 5/5 — THE BEST

*2026-08-30*

I’ve been trying the app for a few weeks now and I can say that’s the best IA app for living stories in my opinion. I absolutely LOVE the feature of replies suggestion ! It feels like playing a game interacting love without paying. Please don’t change it I love it too much ! Thank you for that app ❤️

### 1/5 — Memory

*2026-08-30, version 1.0.43*

Fix the memory issue, it’s forgetting this within a matter of seconds
