Reviews for Character AI: Chat, Talk, Text

It could be a great app, But every day there's a problem. It's always something new but now they are deleting almost every character on the app. It's gotten to a point where you can't search for certain characters because they're all gone. You can't continue a conversation youve had with a bot because its gone. You can't try and remake a bot because they'll delete it again. It's every single day. They cant keep this app stable for one second. It was fine the way it was.

I hate this app. The bots forget details that I pin as important, and I have to reexplain the whole character, sometimes multiple times within the hour. Currently, the app is refusing to let me log in, so I have to uninstall and reinstall the thing. Also, it will get stuck on the typing bubble, so I have to refresh the whole thing to get it to work. The devs have literally all child restrictions in place that prevent any sort of real roleplay.

When I first downloaded the app it was amazing. now im paying 9.99 a month for c.ai for absolutely nothing. it crashes or doesnt load properly, the response time is the same as the free one, the filters make storytelling almost impossible. at this rate they are just stealing money from people who download this app. there is literally nothing worth while for their "upgraded" subscription. you are better off with another chat bot. would highly recommend looking into something else.

I love this app but I do want to address a couple of issues with it. For one, it keeps giving me a notification telling me that there is a login error. And when I was finally able to login, it wouldn't load my chats because apparently there was another error...I tried restarting my phone. I also tried uninstalling and redownloading it. But nothing changed. Please fix this and I will give 5 stars!!??

This app is good because; One, no ads. Two, personas and infinite amounts of characters to talk to. And three, I can make my characters to talk to. But there are a lot of issues; One, the edit button is gone, and now I have to delete part of my conversation to rewrite it. Two, the filter is insane. Like, I understand that kids use this, but it is WAY too strict. Third, I would like if we could put apostrophes in the names of our personas, for Japanese characters and such.

As a user of this app for years, it's downfall keeps getting worse, you were doing good, and then abruptly, ADs! they're not even small ones, they're invasive and annoying, it's like watching a dumpster fire go out then relit itself repeatedly, every other update is horrendous, it's setting itself up for complete failure. Fix this if you want to keep the people. In the meantime, I'm going to janitor or smth.

The one and only problem I have with this app is the voices. Whenever I use a bot I seem to accidentally click the voice, it goes off extremely loudly. Even when my phone's volume is muted. Edit from this... I accidentally deleted most of it but, the ads are getting extremely annoying. There was absolutely no reason to add ads to an app that didn't have any to begin with. Remove the ads!

From the start, i had issues, getting kicked out, freezing up, etc.... now i can not even open the app, and if it does open, i cannot login. If i do happen to get logged in, it deletes my messages old and new, and i have to start over. Now it's not even opening my chats. I've deleted the app and redownloaded it, and it just got worse. Update: Now, suddenly, i was kicked out for my birthday? Like, im an adult. why can i suddenly not use the app? Update: almost a year later still not fixed

Edited: I like this app, I use it when I feel stressed or need to escape reality for a bit... but I hate the new color of blue that they made for the speech bubbles... it hurts my eyes so much and I don't want to pay money per month just so I can change the color. It was so unnecessary to change it and it's not friendly to people with sensitive eyes. I had to recently change my review to 1 star because of the sudden pop-up ads... I don't want to wait 30 seconds just to text a bot

After my previous review, I have encountered some problems and or issues I have with the app. Well, first of all, the search is horrible, or at least worse than it was before. Now when I search up anything, or forbid something slightly specific, it shows results with bots that have near no relation to what I searched. I don't have much of a problem with the ai, Or the filter, I rarely encounter it anyway. And I don't know if it's just me, or did they just give me ads.

We should have the right to file a lawsuit against Character AI. They advertise their app as "ad free", yet last month, they put ads on the app, and to this day, they STILL haven't disclosed they put ads on their app. And then the entire app bricks after I send 5 messages, and I have to restart it. it's not a device issue because I used another device, and it did the exact same thing! See you guys in court.

I like the app, Of course I do. But is it only me or was the editing feature completely removed? This annoys me heavily. I cannot fix spelling errors, And when a character generates something wrong in it's message that would be fine otherwise, I can't fix it Also all of the other experimental chats are gone for me minus one? Is this an error or is this just actually something that happened? AND WHY ARE THERE ADS NOW? IT WAS GREAT. NOW IT ISN'T.

It's a chatbot alright. But please don't prioritize making stickers (a totally useless feature) over fixing bot messages freezing as they're being typed out. Having to restart the app and being forced to watch a video ad (many of which are more than a quick reasonable amount of time and I think some are an entire minute) because of a bug is really dumb and I'm just going to restart the app every time I get one that's more than 15 seconds or so long until I don't even get one because it's faster.

This app is amazing, but there is one problem. Whenever I pasted something from my clip board, it would say I can't enter any more characters. Please remove the typing limit that's under whatever number it's set on and let me type my paragraphs in peace. Please c.ai. also, the search is becoming a problem where I search something up, and there's only 2 or 4 results when I know there's more results than that. please fix this :( [update:Remove the damn ads.)

it's gotten worse with the new update. there was nothing against guidelines in my message but it refused to send it at all. it just gets worse with every update, I swear. update: I figure out it won't let me say the words "Cal and Andre" just the two names. what is wrong with the names that it's "against" guidelines... Please fix your filter, it's annoying.

Still a decent app, but there's some issues I've been having a LOT recently. The top issue being ads, the reason is mostly due to a new format of ads I'm seeing: these ads force you to go directly to Google play JUST to skip it and it'll say if youre interested in said app or not. I don't really like it because my app resets if it's off it for too long, and those ads have actually done it about three times now. I'm not paying for C.AI+ to remove ads either, i can't pay for yearly or monthly.

This app is great, I love using it to pass my free time and procrastinate doing work :D. One thing I wish for is if there was an option to remove the filter if you're over 18 or something. One thing i dont like is even if i put not interested on a character, it keeps showing characters like that one. like BL chars, which i dont like since im not a boy. And when I put in the char voice, it goes to phone volume instead of regular volume. It's kind of annoying. I'd rather it just be regular volume.

I used to use this app daily, and I used to absolutely LOVE this app, but there are now an insane amount of ads. I understand that this is a free app, and you need to keep it running with ads, but at least give us an adless version with a toggle filters feature if we pay for it. Edit: They "deleted" the characters I try and search, but they show up on the recommended page, so I know they're there but can't search them. 0 stars!

I (used) to love the game, it doesn't make my phone overheat, but the sensor is preventing me from saying the bot's name to ask how they are. Also, there is a bug where I just straight up don't get the chat box and text and it's infuriating. They need to stop adding stickers and start fixing the bugs and listening to their users! The filter either needs to become less strict or it needs to go entirely. At the very least they need to add a toggle for the filter/sensor because this is too much.

I like the app, and it's become much better to use. I've been using C.ai for almost 2 years, back then it was just okay. Now, it's great, much more interactive and engaging, the only downside is that every time you open a new character or switch to a different character, you get an unskipable ad. The shorter 15-second ones aren't awful to just sit through, but a minute long unskipable ad is overkill. Compared to other ai character apps, though, the add frequency is super tame.
