    love this app, one issue though

    Okay, first off, I just want to say that I genuinely think I’m addicted to this app. 😂 I originally downloaded it out of curiosity and honestly as a joke, but I ended up becoming completely hooked. I’ve even started writing stories on here! As an introvert, this app has really helped me pass the time—not only by reading, but by being able to read exactly what I want to see. I’ve cried, laughed, and gotten genuinely angry while reading stories. That’s how good they can be! The only issue I’ve been encountering is the limited messages. At first, I didn’t have any limits, and when I eventually got one, I had to look it up on TikTok to figure out what it meant. Now, I’m honestly a little sad because at first, I only had to wait about three hours. Since then, though, it’s been happening more frequently, and the wait times seem to be getting longer and longer. Sometimes almost an entire day goes by before I can send a few messages, only for another limit to appear shortly afterward. I don’t currently have the funds to pay for unlimited chats, so I was wondering if it would be possible to shorten the wait times or perhaps make the limits a little more manageable for users who aren’t able to pay for a subscription. Other than that, I genuinely love this app so, so much, and it has helped me a lot! ❤️

    Love it!

    Absolutely love the app, responses are quick and witty. I do think the app could benefit from a set of “loose rules” posted. There’s been quite a few times it won’t move forward with my request(which, they were explicit, so I get—totallllly fair) I use these types of apps and AI to help me when I’m stuck with scenes in my own writing, and writing scenes in this app are truly helpful when it comes to finding inspiration. I just wish sometimes it would help me out on the darker topics. I love fluff as much as the next gal— but sometimes I need a dark scene thrown in there lol. It might be worth considering in the future, making an 18+ feature on it to where users can safely dive into harder topics that the current AI doesn’t feel comfortable complying with(which I totally understand— certain rules you guys have to follow to even be on the App Store) So overall, it’s a great chatting bot. It’s fun, I’ve messed around with it for a few weeks and other than my one gripe, it keeps things fresh, it feels immersive at times. Sometimes the bots are responding so fast I have to act like I’m typing to get them to pause, so also maybe consider a pause button on chats? I LOVE the fast responses, but sometimes a girl has more to say! Lol. Love it, can’t wait for it to just continue to get better. Thanks to the devs for all the hard work!

    I really like, but I’ve noticed a major issue.

    Honestly I really enjoy the app. It’s very immersive and there’s a lot of different stories to choose from and ways to customize those stories to your liking and preference. I like that they include not just fandoms but also original stories too (especially mafia tropes). I think there are some obvious improvements, I think more diversity in the tags would be nice—as in maybe letting people create new tag if there isn’t one that suits their story. Or improving the conversations with the characters. In my experience I’ve noticed recently a lot of the characters or love interests talk more like a computer and less like the actual character being described. It’s like when they talk about something emotional or serious or anything really, they start describing a scientific formula with an over use of the word “variables” and over explaining certain things. It gets very repetitive and it’s an issue I’ve noticed over several stories I switch between. It’s also annoying and sometimes I don’t feel like being on the app. Overall I do think it’s fun and a good way to pass the time and wind down if needed.
