Love it! But the glitches..
I LOVE this app so so much, but there’s a couple of glitches in the app. Whenever I want to make a story, I have to reinstall the app to either edit or try to publish my story. Sadly, today one of the glitches got worse. I was trying to publish another story for myself, and the publish button wouldn’t make itself clickable, I filled out everything there was to complete the story, but it’s not working for me to publish it! I would really like if you guys fixed this glitch/bug, it’s really annoying and frustrating when you’re trying to make another story ☹️.
Money hungry
Stop begging for money. Tf you mean get premium for unlimited messages.
Hi
Honestly the app is good. I know some people don’t like the message limit for people who don’t want to pay for unlimited messages which can be annoying sometimes especially when the story is getting good and then you have to wait until 12 am the next day or the time you started messaging but besides that it’s good everything is all some just wish the time limit was a little shorter but I’m fine with the message limit. Anyways, thank you for the amazing app. 😊
wtf
it’s great stories, but the memory of the ai sucks and also why do i get TEN hours wait time after sending a few chats, it’s insane!
Used to be so good but…
This app was my favourite and I genuinely wouldve gave it a five but it’s falling off. I’ve had Y/N since before Y/N+ was even introduced, and there genuinely wasn’t a message limit before. I understand limits may have been added since then, but saying it’s “always been like that” isn’t true for people who have used the app for a long time. The 10+ hour wait completely interrupts conversations, especially when you hit the limit during the day and have to wait until midnight or the next day. The limit went from 20k to 2k messages so it’s gone down by 10 percent. I was okay with a limit every once in a while and I think other people were too but now I get a limit every day. Ive used it this morning and now I have to wait 10:54:00 this is terrible. I’m really dissatisfied and bored with this app now. I really hope you consider adding an advert option to reset the limit instead of only y/n+ as many people can struggle to get that for many reasons. So I hope you consider this or add maybe a little mini game feature for gems to reset the limit too. I think a lot of other people would appreciate these other options too. Thank you and I hope you improve to be like you were at first. 🫶
Y/n
I love this app but I do not like the time limit if that’s gone my mind can go full imagination.
Memory
Fix the memory issue, it’s forgetting this within a matter of seconds
Love but I hate the glitches
I love this app. It’s so fun. However, one character has started saying “reckon” in every single response even when it’s unnecessary. I would love to see this glitch go away. I also would love if the developers can add a feature where the characters can send photos back and forth. I would also like to say that maybe we could have more messages. So if we hit the maximum messages per day, we can open a new chat in another story and the count resets. Overall this is a really good app. I do like how engaging it is and it’s really addicting.
I am fuming.
I was role playing and it came up with a message time over my limit. 3 hours? Screw that. Remove it. And whilst you are reading this, can you add a feature for a photo to send a photo and the ai can look and describe it.
Норм
Нормально, но почините рекомендации и дайте больше символов для описания персонажей.
Fun
Honestly went in not expecting much- but even when you run out of free responses it still lets you play with the generated responses I love how personal you can make everything I was actually laughing my butt off s few times
Wdym I have to go wait nine hours to text
I’m not waiting hours to text a bloody ai bot who do u think I am ur app was actually good until that who’s genuinely gonna pay to message
Love this app
I love this app because I get to write my own stories and I love to write but my one complaint is the time limits. 10+ hours is just excessive. I think 4 hours max would be sufficient enough. Some people get 16+ hours and its just insane.
TEXT LIMIT…💔
I love this app, but PLEASE GET RID OF THE TEXT LIMIT. THATS WHY I GOT THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE.💔😭
cons
it forgets the OCC and forgets the plot and starts going different places when i give distinctive details
My random thought
Da best app atp, I’m so broke Rn, but as soon as I get some money I’ll get yn+
Way to push your users away, greediness ruined this app
I genuinely love this app and have spent so much time writing bots and building actual storylines here, but this new limited chats update is so annoying. Getting locked out mid scene behind stupid timers ruins the whole experience. $14.99 a month to talk to bots is bizarre. It shouldn’t cost anywhere near that much it should be $4.99 a month AT MOST. The fact that $4.99 only buys you ONE week is an actual joke. Fix the pricing before you drive all your dedicated users away to other apps.
get rid of message limig
please for the love of god i beg u to get rid of the message limit. not everyone wants 2 drop money on premium and the app was soooooo good w unlimited messages
More cons than good
I love this but OOC never listens. If I give them a certain writing style, they don’t listen to that writing style. When I tell them about a certain thing in OOC, they don’t listen. It doesn’t feel like my story is my story at this point. I feel like I’m not able to enjoy what I’m writing because they’re constantly adding things that don’t make sense.
So good, but it gets annoying with the messages limit.
The app is absolutely amazing. I’ve seen great stories and even made some. And the no ads is great. But my only issue is that there is a limit to the messages. It’s a turn off when I’m in the middle of getting really interested in my story, and I have to make sure I don’t go over the limit. It just makes me wanna delete the app and get another ai app. But I love this app so much, so I wanna see if you can take the limit of messages away. Cause then the app would be perfect. And a 5/5, instead of a 3/5. I also have friends who use this app and get super annoyed from the limited messages as they wanna talk to their character more.
I freaking love this app
Guys, this app is so much better than character ai, especially for Harry Potter fans like me. You get to write yourself into stories and create your own, and I love to see the community grow and more fandoms joining the app. I deleted character ai and fully transitioned into this and glimmer fics, it’s just been a breath of fresh air with no ads in my face, annoying filters, and bots forgetting the chat midway through. Even if there is a limit I haven’t even gotten to it and I tend to use this app frequently. The memory is amazing, even if you don’t have the plus version. I highly recommend!
honestly terrible
This app has long hours where you can’t use it like FIFTEEN HOURS AND SOMETIMES LONGER! It glitches and stalls! And when you try to restart it or do anything it doesn’t work or it crashes i wouldn’t recommend this app unfortunately even though I do like it sometimes there are just really big down sides to it download at your own risk honestly
IM ADDICTED
I love the Y/N app im fully addicted and have such good story’s but im terrified of the app getting removed or deleted you should make a button where you can copy and paste everything in the story in case anything happens i love the app but thats one of my fears AND the fact we don’t have a lot of messages to send with out paying but i love the app!
Unfortunate Updates
Loved this app but the recent update of not having unlimited messaging unless you pay is so sad. As far as I knew this app was made for fans to be a better place then cai. But they’ve been getting worse and worse with their y/n plus stuff and having to pay to get functions is silly to me. I understand this might be a personal opinion it’s just really sad to see an app that I really liked and use a lot change so much, i’ll definitely be using this app a lot less or maybe not at all really sad to see it become a cash grab.
Great app, small problem
I love this app so very much, but I have one little problem. The limited messages. I know it’s meant to convince people to buy Y/N+ but my wait times are ridiculous. 15 hours just to chat? That’s stupid. If you could just fix this, I’d appreciate it
I love this app but,
It ruined my life. I don’t get off it, and I spend almost all night on it, it’s addictive
You’re joking…
This app has been perfect so far. I’ve been on it for a few months when suddenly a feature popped up for Y/N+. The og Y/N+ just included longer typing and less limited text. But now, there’s a wait time???? A lot of people are very displeased with this! Constant update are good, but adding a 1 hour timer for more chats/ the ability to chat is ludicrous! No one enjoys that and it should be removed now!!
more messages?
i love love love the app but i do wish that we can have more messages so we can play around with it more
I hate it but I love it
I ABSOLUTELY hate the limited messages there is no warning am I was in the middle of doing it and that was really now I've got 5 hours where I can't I'm absolutely Cumming. But overall it's a great game but I am angry.
i love the app but
i love the app but the time limit is horrid im now waiting 16 hours until i can read again.
i love it
i love it personally. i feel like they should add the ability to put real pictures into it, for like the text message stories.
No control
The app has potential, but it’s very annoying that I can’t actually do anything without the stupid bot controlling every goddamn thing i do, like at this point why even bother typing a reply? It’s just going to decide what you do anyways.
Help
I have a world called Uchiha clan and accidentally pressed report. Can someone tell me how to undo it I really like this app though
Email log in
It’s hard to log back in,in the uk as it keeps saying that my phone number is suspicious id gladly appreciate a second log in option such as email or Face ID
Loved it until I didn’t!
I was absolutely obsessed with this app it was fun, thrilling, and everything I needed. And then all of a sudden I have to wait for my daily messages to come back? Since when did that start? When I first downloaded it 3 months ago, I never had that problem and was able to text freely all night if I wanted to, for weeks even? So can someone please explain that part to me? Cause that was never a thing until just a few minutes ago🤨
I LOVE Y/N So Peak
DUDE BEST FREAKING APP EVER THE RP ARE SO FLIPING PEAK BRO IM GONNA CRY DUDE PLEASE NEVER ADD ADs or anything that will ruin this game bro it’s amazing all ready just a twink can u make them remember every conversations we had since the beginning idk BUT THEY DO HAVE REALLY GOOD MEMORIE AND IT’S SO FREAKING FUNNY AS HELL I LOVE U FOR MAKING THIS IM GONNA CRY FROM ALL THE PEAK WHAT A GEM BRO NEVER STOP IF EVERYONE STOP PLAYING IT I WILL STILL BE PLAYING IT BRO 🥹🔥 just NO ADS👹👹
What changed?
For $15 monthly. I expect updates. The replies take longer and longer to send, and I don’t know what changed that now the stories switch as you go. The app use to follow story plots so well and remember certain aspects of the story, and now the character will quite literally in the story forget certain aspects of the story not even that many messages ago. The older version was better, I’m leaning to it’s not worth my money anymore.
This is amazing all the fan fic!
I love this app so much but im giving it 4 start bc i hate the word limit, and having to pay just for unlimited stinks
I love this app but.
I love this app, but I don't think there should be a chat limit because it doesn't work well if the app's whole point is to chat with characters. I also think it's insane that you're not replying to any of the reviews that are talking about the chat limit.
Used to be good.
This app genuinely used to be brilliant, and they kept making it better and better and better, and then you started having to pay. Just found out that now you also only have a limited amount of free texts and then have to wait 15 hours before you can text back. It’s a shame because I used to think to myself (even when there was a premium option) ‘I’m so glad there’s no text limit’ and now there is. Just such a shame, I think that should be taken off. You charge enough for the app as it is and make a lot of money off the people choosing to pay. Bring back unlimited free texts.
Bad Changes.
I only got this app because it didn’t have a message limit. It’s kind of aggravating that it now has one.
It fine but good
So basically I tried to use my phone number it worked but I press it just kept loading fix it now u said it for iPhone right yes am using iPhone please fix the app am asking nicely
it’s alright
I love this app and use it nonstop but I would really like if you removed the limited messages!
This kinda sucks
The cool down wait like 13 hours before you can use the app again like talk to characters again is insane. Really tryna push for premium. Why? This defeats the purpose of the app please get back to me on this. Also maybe instead find a way to do adverts instead of this cool down system.
WHY
It’s great but what the hell why is there a limit now?? Take it off.
Good app👍🏼
This is genuinely one of the best AI chat apps I have ever used. There’s actual character information, all different kinds of chats, and just so much to explore.
Big downfall
Honestly my favourite app until they added paying for messages? I’m so so disappointed
Original user
I remember getting this app back when it first came out and I love seeing how it’s developed and become so much better and more detailed
Restart chat save thing and limited chat
So I see you can’t really save a conversation and I was wondering could you maybe add that because what if you enjoy a conversation but want to do another one and would also like to go back to the other one but you can’t… now about the limitations please take it off please! It’s so annoying! And some of us don’t have the money to do unlimited chats! So please take it off! Please please please
Was so good
I really do like this app. They have decent limits for people who are on the free plan, pretty good stories, and light moderation. My issue is I was just using the app and now they are charging people to have unlimited messages. They didn’t used to do this. I hate this and I might end up platform hopping again to another app that doesn’t do this
