About the rating
storeAvg 4.48 versus textAvg 3.65. Some five-star reviews are genuine ('we all know why we're on the ai apps, this one is good'), but many are contradictory: a user subscribed for 'no ads' and immediately got ads. Long-term loyal users are leaving en masse after the monetization change.
Strengths
What users love
- Before the change: a large variety of characters and flexible interaction. Two years of loyal users speaks to real product value in the past.
Weak spots
What users hate
- A character can change personality from one message to the next and does not hold story context. The energy system cutting you off mid-session destroys the narrative.
Who it is for
Roleplay chat users who can tolerate limited context.
