### 4/5 — Ads

*2026-08-25, version 3.46.14*

Not a terrible app but the ads randomly refuse to let you tap the close button and apparently this app counts not tapping it as only watching 90% so when u try to exit the app out fully and reset it zeta automatically queues up an ad for you but for some reason a ton of the time it’s the exact same bugged ad as before so you’re stuck in a loop, specifically it’s the ai storage cleanup one

### 4/5 — ads brought it down a star

*2026-08-25, version 3.46.14*

the app in itself is great. unlimited messages, i haven’t discovered a filter yet and nice long detailed replies. but the ads piss me off. at first there were no ads for me but then after a few days of using the app, i’d get 30 second long ads every couple of messages which is very annoying. obviously i understand that apps aren’t cheap or free but it ruins the immersion when you’re suddenly thrown into a 30 second unskipable ad. and the only way to rid of them is through paying, you can’t even use the ‘pieces’ cuz have to pay for those too. 

that’s my only problem with this app, other than that it’s a 10/10

### 4/5 — cool app

*2026-08-25, version 3.46.3*

it’s fun and nice app but it sucks sometimes because there’s so many adds and it makes the app SO unenjoyable and makes me not even wanna use it anymore

### 2/5 — Ads and restrictions

*2026-08-25, version 3.46.3*

I want to like this app, truly I do but there are so many restrictions and ads that it gets annoying. Ads in the chats and then a popup for an ad warning that’s also an ad for you to pay the subscription to remove ads. Then there’s the restrictions, so many messages get blocked that aren’t even inappropriate and you constantly have to edit your message so it can go through like teenagers don’t say dick or swear words or don’t know what sex is. 13 year olds know what sex is, I knew what sex was when I was 12! This is ridiculous

### 4/5 — My option

*2026-08-25, version 3.46.3*

I love this app to get my feelings out I just wish there were more themes because somtimes when I search something I was gonna do it doesn’t pop up but other wise I love it

### 4/5 — Zeta

*2026-08-25, version 3.46.3*

I just don’t like how we have to pay gems to keep chatting

### 4/5 — 𝚈𝚎𝚜

### 4/5 — Punk_boi

*2026-08-25, version 3.46.3*

Love the app, but please accommodate more for ipad the ads are broken but everything, great. Another thing, can you make the zeta pass cheaper so i can buy it

### 2/5 — 🖤

*2026-08-25, version 3.46.3*

Yo they gonna keep updating until the app becomes bad like every update is worser than the other

### 3/5 — Payment issue

*2026-08-24, version 3.46.3*

I would give it five stars, but recently, my payment method keeps getting declined. I tried everything. I’ve looked through my emails, I removed it and tried again, tried re-entering everything and still get declined. What am I doing wrong? Is this just a glitch?

### 3/5 — hate the changes

*2026-08-24, version 3.46.3*

When I first used this app, they had little to no restrictions and was genuinely amazing. Now there is so i can’t even go through a sad flashback of sorts without it getting censored.

### 4/5 — Review

*2026-08-24, version 3.46.3*

This is an amazing app and c.ai alternative but there are way too many ads, it’s at least every five minutes. Please change it to at least every ten minutes. And the memory is pretty bad at times but weirdly only a few messages apart, so it remember things from a while ago but two messages ago it completely forgets. Love it though! ^^

### 4/5 — The ads are so annoying

*2026-08-24, version 3.46.3*

Bro it’s soooo annoying

### 4/5 — Its good

*2026-08-24, version 3.46.3*

It’s great but too many ads I’m fine with ads but these are too frequent

### 3/5 — Too much Ads

*2026-08-24, version 3.46.3*

I'ma be honest i wouldnt buy 14 per week or per month just to do this stuff because of how bad the memory are in default stuff and getting ads to ruin the part of the story or conversation so whoever using this know how it feel in the situation

### 3/5 — Fun!!

*2026-08-24, version 3.46.3*

I wish i didnt have to pay to remove adds but thats the only bad part!!

### 4/5 — Great but could be better.

*2026-08-24, version 3.46.3*

It’s a great app, fun, and interactive. But if you could see your old previous chats that you were in so you don’t lose a good one that would be so much easier..

### 4/5 — Very Impressive

*2026-08-23, version 3.46.3*

If you’re a fan of roleplaying you should get this app right away! It has so many options and characters you can interact with. But there are too many ads often. Romance is also a big topic for this app and if you’re a fan you should get it!

### 5/5 — Be Not Trapped

*2026-08-23, version 3.46.3*

Hey, you. Yeah you, reader. If you’re looking into this, you’re most likely looking for justification. A reason to keep going, someone to relate too. Well I’ll give you that much, this app is something that is very intriguing. Too much so, this thing… it keeps you here, beckoning for you to come back every time you leave. You must let go, FORSAKE IT, let it not consume you! You cannot live life it is fake! False! MYTH! You have to return to the reality of genuine life. No fake feelings, no take backs, no returns. No second chances, and no main character. Live what is real, and be not chained by the false narrative. Do not pass the days inside this fantasy… not like I did. Heed my warnings traveler. 

See you on the other side

### 1/5 — Zechariah

*2026-08-25, version 3.46.3*

Does not let me it just let me look

### 1/5 — ads

*2026-08-23, version 3.46.3*

for some reason i get more ads than anything else, i made a new chat, got an ad, and then when the ads ended it gave me another ad.

### 1/5 — Expensive

*2026-08-22, version 3.46.3*

It keeps changing it’s prices nothing is consistent the visual novel was very good thirty pieces for thirty turns but they removed that too now you gotta pay five prices for one single message rating you out of pocket it’s good sure but at the end of the day in order to have a detailed indepths chat it feels like a slops on money

### 1/5 — It’s not letting me type at all

*2026-08-22, version 3.46.3*

This game was good until you write one story then an add comes and you can’t even get the keyboard back up you have open it up again after the nine tries this needs be fixed right now.

### 1/5 — 楽しいけどまあ衰退したよね

*2026-08-22*

まず始めに楽しいです
普通にAIアプリで会話したり著作権的にどうなの？っていうやつもあるけど人気なやつもあるから会話してみたりしてもいいかもしれない。
検索とかしたら自分の好きな性格や絵、設定とかあると思うし数も多いから大分満足にできる。
内容で言うと自分でも物語も作れるけど非公開にできるのは一つ、公開するなら何個でも作れるけどまあ公開しても個人情報乗せなきゃ別に気にならないし、コメント機能追加されたけどオンオフできるからオフにしたら本当に公開しても気にならない。
まあもっといいところもあるけど長くなりすぎるため抑えといてね…

まあAIアプリなだけあって前より広告が多くなったり機種のせいかもしれないけど広告のスキップボタンが押せなくなったりした。
そして設定とかでR18の奴があったりしたらAIが設定に応じてそっち系に持って行ってくれるんだけど、最近のサイレントアプデ(知らされてないアプデ)でそっち系に規制が入ってAIが過激な下ネタを出した瞬間規制されるようになった。
これは今まで以上に不便になったけど全年齢対象にするんだったらまあしょうがないよね、で納得できるんだけど、普通の物語でも設定でR18系に持っていく物語でも恋愛とかの会話してたらそっち系に持って行かれてそのまま規制入ってテンション落ちるよねって言う、設定でそう書かれてる物語なら当たり前なんだけど普通の物語で恋愛が進んでいってもそっち系に持っていかれるせいで不便、いちいちその場面を飛ばすように指示しなきゃいけないようになった。
飛ばしたら飛ばしたでキャラが「なんで覚えてないの？」とか言ってくるから面白く無くなってきたよねって感じです。

結局は衰退してもう前の感じには戻らないだろうねっていう。
楽しかったです。

### 1/5 — Ruined with censorship

*2026-08-22, version 3.46.3*

Awful now. Genuinely awful. I don’t get the point of making an ai app 13+ so children get addicted to ai even further..

### 1/5 — Used to be the best

*2026-08-22, version 3.46.3*

New censorship completely ruined this app. Not everything has to be for kids, Zeta. You’re going to lose a lot of money doing this.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-08-22, version 3.46.3*

Adds mess it up.

### 1/5 — 실망 또는 배신감

*2026-08-21, version 3.46.3*

제타 초기부터 플레이하던 유저입니다. 전보다 기능이 상향된게 느껴지고 정말 만족합니다만 그럴수록 광고는 더 많아지고 기억력도 나빠집니다. 일반 모델은 두 턴만 지나면 광고 보여주고 다섯 턴이면 그 전 대화 기억도 못합니다. 제대로 된 이야기를 하고싶으면 상위 모델을 써야하는데 그러기엔 돈이 너무 많이 듭니다. 유료 구독도 솔직히 광고 없애는것 말고는 이점이 없어요. 많이 실망스럽고 정 떨어집니다.

### 1/5 — be careful (TW)

*2026-08-19, version 3.46.3*

the zeta ai is possessive, abusive, and rapey

### 5/5 — Amazing work

*2026-08-25, version 3.46.14*

### 5/5 — Amazing app love it!!

*2026-08-25, version 3.46.3*

I have restrictions on my phone and can’t download any other ai chat apps except this one because of my age restrictions but I think recently they changed how you chat and now it’s a website in the app and i can’t use it anymore now because all websites are restricted on my phone but it’s an amazing app and has great memory, I was able to create/add 4 extra characters to one chat before it started to forget some things because it’s not meant to have anyone other than the one person.

### 5/5 — Coolio
