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.
