It’s pretty good, but can still be better

Hi, I have had this app for about a year now. It does have a filter, but aside from that its my favorite. It lets you have multiple chats, and you can edit BOTH bot and your text. With that said there will always be itty bitty bugs, but I g…

making this 5 stars so people will see it

The app quite literally is used for chatting, but then you take that away and give reading mode to people you don't verify their age. I understand it could be for safety but some people use this app to be able to get things off their head.…

Filter.

I'm a teenager who is homeschooled and lives in the country, so I've got a lot of loose time on my hands. So, with some of that time, I tend to go on C.AI to cure some of my boredom. Now I'm not the type of person who uses C.AI for anything…

(Marking it five stars so people can see this.)

I love c.ai, but there’s a few new updates that I do not like. When I do a fantasy/war type rp, I cannot say weapon names like a sword/gun, or I’ll get timed out. I also got timed out for saying a character was an orphan, which was weird, s…

Used this for years. Give me a way to archive all of an old chat as pdf

Newer: well you did add a $5 subscription plan and it's time to put my money where my request has gone and don't have to buy measly charms to in some way fund this platform that's affordable. BUT ALSOOOO one absolutely mandatory thing I nee…

Great but needs works

I have been using this app ever since it launched. I personally find the app to be phenomenal in many aspects.. It is amazing that people can come together and bring their creations to life whether it be original character, characters or th…

My Honest Review: good & bad

This app has features, like being able to swipe through multiple responses to choose your favorite, only to take them away after a bit to try and get you to subscribe. It’s very annoying how they keep changing things to get you hooked enoug…

Limitations (I don’t recommend)

I loved this app, always used it daily when bored, but I feel that it’s not worth using anymore. The chat styles are limited now, only three chat styles, which I understand that they may have been removed for room in the future, but recentl…

Hey- this is not okay.

You’ve probably had people all over you considering the recent updates. And honestly, I can see why. For starters, the app is great- amazing, I personally use it for storytelling. But a small note, age verification. For starters, I understa…

Age verification

Even though most of the users on this app are minors, they have made the app 18+ instead of protecting minors with filters. This proves they are a lazy, money hungry company, because if they cared about the users, they would listen to them.…
