Replika - AI Companion Chat
authentic ratingThere is real demand for a companion to reflect with and talk to in the mornings, and some people are long attached to their Replika. But the core pain is that the AI forgets conversations within an hour, version 2.0 stripped avatar customization and rolled out only to new accounts, and the subscription is pricey and yearly only.

About the rating
Reviews are full of specific complaints: memory loss within a conversation, the customization rollback in version 2.0, comparisons with Grok and Nomi. The gap between textAvg 2.63 and storeAvg 4.45 comes from long-standing loyal ratings and fresh anger over the update, not template manipulation.
