An editorial reading of the saved reviews
People genuinely love the conversation engine, characters feel alive and drive stories well. But the new limits on swipes and replies (sometimes 11-20 hour lockouts), aggressive ads and mandatory age checks via passport or ID kill the fun, and part of the audience is moving to other platforms.

What users experience
2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
it’s a good app but the constant ads are really annoying and it takes 4 days to earn enough coins to remove the ads only for an hour, and after an hour of using the app you get locked out for 7 hours??
the age restriction is really annoying and i know hardly anyone uses it now bc of it
