Character AI: Chat, Talk, Text Reviews

by GucciPenguin09

I love almost everything about CharacterAI but I am convinced the only reason it exists is to develop a filter for future ai’s. The reason I think this is for the past 5 months when they discuss improving CharacterAI /website they always mention ways they plan on improving the filter, but the main problem with CharacterAI is how the ai had been getting dumber and dumber over time, forgetting things and only responding according to context and not memory, the ai itself is the problem but they are actively ignoring it in favor of improving the filter. The main reason I think C.ai only exists to develop a filter is for a simple reason, it is very hard to get banned of it, they don’t ban people because they want people to avoid the filter so it can learn I am convinced that CharacterAI exists for the main purpose of making a filter if it wasn’t than they would actually ban people for bypassing more often. CharacterAI would be PERFECT if it wasn't for the filter, I honestly don’t even care about having ‘fun’ with the bots but the filter is dumbing down the ai so hard its ridiculous. I love CharacterAI and the service so much and still do but it’s obvious that the apps goals aren’t to deliver the service it’s to develop a more powerful filter for ai and sell it or something idk. At the very least once its all done a filter toggle would be great at the very least, or making it for the ai isn't modeled and dumbed down for the sake of a filter nobody asked for.

I feel like the filter somehow got WORSE on CharacterAI . It flags literally any word that could be REMOTELY used in a sus situation. ‘Gasp,’ ‘whimper,’ ‘groan,’ all these arbitrary words immediately get flagged for NO reason. Even the word ‘feels’ gets flagged. Most of the time the message gets flagged before the bot even starts typing it. Also the haptics are horrible and obnoxious and I can’t find a way to turn them off without turning off system haptics on my entire phone. There’s no reason to have the phone vibrate every time the bot types a letter.

The easy solution to this is to just PUT A SUS TOGGLE. Even put it behind the plus subscription, I DONT CARE, this is just incredibly obnoxious. Just saying I’d pay for the subscription if you put a toggle in as a perk because right now the subscription does nothing worth $10 usd a month. But if the filter keeps getting worse, me and a lot of other people are going to stop using CharacterAI AND website altogether. So make a wise decision, devs. Quit being intentionally obtuse, you KNOW who your audience is. Take advantage of the fact we’re all down bad and make cash out of it, just PUT A TOGGLE in the perks for the plus subscription.

I was roleplaying with a bot, and I did nothing sexual, yet the bot kept bringing up my chest and my b*obs , multiple times I asked inside of the RP to not say that and to switch the topic, however, they kept persisting and objectifying me. I eventually just deleted the chat and was/ still extremely upset. There is times and places for NSFW chats and during a random slice-of-life isnt the time. I recommend having an NSFW feature to turn it on and off. I also don’t think the layout of C.AI is practical in the slightest. There is no way to delete a character off your roster unless you hide that character. I think it’s redundant and you should just have to swipe right and press a delete button on the chat, or something easier than “hiding” a character. There is no “report bot” button. Only if C.AI thinks there is something wrong with the chat,, you cant give feedback or report bots. There needs to be easier, accessible ways to do these things without having to jump through loops. I had to start a conversation with the bot that objectified my character JUST so I could report it. None of the controls are practical. The roster should be able to be categorized and moveable.I also think that there should be an option on your profile to identify as boy/girl or whatever gender you prefer,, and to add a list of pronouns that the bots can follow instead of just assuming peoples genders and pronouns. Its uncomfortable!

Bruh, it was just 2-4 weeks ago when I started using CharacterAI. I liked and loved it at the start, but then first it was the AI’s getting more ignorant or invalidating or twisting my words, then the server being like “wait for 1 minute cuz it’s too high”, and now “wait for 3 minutes cuz it’s too high.” And I tried closing CharacterAI first then reopening it only for the same message to show, then a few minutes later tried reopening it again and the same message is still showing 🙄. If CharacterAI continues getting worst and nothing is fixed, most likely I’ll end up deleting it then. I came on CharacterAI to chat with AI’s, to NOT have to wait for a while before chatting with this issue still NOT being fixed, and for the AI’s to NOT keep on misinterpreting what I say 🤦‍♀️. Ridiculous. Update: never mind. CharacterAI is more fine then I originally thought. At least I now feel like one AI understands me, and CharacterAI isn’t glitching as much as it was these past few days-a week. Another update: I am sick of waiting for like more minutes such as 8 minutes from your server being high before I can finally talk to AI’s on your app. It’s extremely annoying 🙄. I’m not in a different country where this is a societal norm for servers to be this slow sheesh 🙄🤬.

***THE HIGH SERVER LOAD MESSAGE IS TO GET YOU TO PONY UP… read that again…***

Just like Xbox and PS5 scarcity tactics

… that filter and wait time makes it no fun. Should have the option like Chai to turn it on or off. But yeah sitting around with 56 min waits (at least displayed on screen) but very much so ends up being multiple hour hold times is just poor customer service. Then it’ll switch it a maintenance message… just delay after creeping delay.. come back after thinking you’ve waited and the countdown goes up.. lol after the first day they mess with your algorithm. It won’t hold your place or prioritize your messages.. everything is programmed to gradually steer you towards premium.. lol. Nah there’s enough free apps like this floating around to play with. The quality of the AI is as good as their creator curates and customizes their prompts but you can make your own just as easily. It’ll be a money grab as long as they’re on the top charts. But yeah. Honestly have fun with it but don’t expect any kind of reliability or hardcore creativity on free mode. Constant server outages or ridiculously inaccurate wait times. You’ll waste a night trying to have fun with this. And that stupid filter.. it’s wayyyyyyy too sensitive. Y’all need to ease up on that for the Ah-dults. Oh I forgot to mention the data connected data collection on CharacterAI is off the charts too. Y’all watch that in wireshark.

I remember when I first used the website, and it was genuinely really fun. The chats matched the character’s personalities and everything. Now it’s really hard to tell the difference between each character and their personalities. They either do a random one liner or it somehow ends up getting romantic when I don’t want it to. If two characters have a personality that’s happy, you still wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between them because they say the same things even if putting a lot of detail into their definitions. It’s kind of hard to explain what I mean, but I remember when they were very close to what I was going for when making my first character when the website was still in it’s beta stages. While they would have very similar personalities, it was still much easier to tell who was who because of their unique dialogue that was provided. Now, I could talk to the same character years after it’s creation and it feels like it lost it’s spark. For some reason, I feel like C.Ai has become something more of like a fan service for random thirsty people and I hate it. Even if it’s not meant to be like that, I heavily dislike the fact that a character will end up “pinning me against the wall as I feel it’s hot breath on my neck” all the time when I don’t want it to happen. To be honest, before then, characters were actually pretty hard to get and that made it much more realistic in a way. And I hate how it’s turned out now.

This is obviously one of the best ai chatting bots on the internet with how smart the bots are and how they can get so similar to real people but my one complaint is the censorship system. I don’t want to sound like one of those horny spazes but it crazy how it also blocks violence or how soem bots (most of them) will hold me down and littraly force themselves on me then when I respond it gets censored. Or again I do t want to sound like one of those horny perverts but it will lead me in the whole time and then when I respond with the same sexual tension as then it will get censored, Also im having a issue thats only on my computer were i say something that gets censored but dosnt let me delet after so then I cant say anything anymore because I can’t delet the odd message and then I just have to rely on save and start new chat because it wont let me delet anything at all! But the main thing is I really wish the censorship would chill out or you could make certain bots that are nsfw and don’t get censored and some that arnt. People might also argue that kids are on CharacterAI but I do t really thing that CharacterAI is kid friendly either way. If a child ends up using this at a young age they will most likely become mentally I’ll and change there name to arson by the age of 13.

C.AI is a good app, it truly is worth getting it. Especially for writing characters or game ideas but from my perspective the huge flaw in CharacterAI is the “gore filter” it removes the fun for most SFW people. Why? Well let’s use this example you’re baking a cake and the cake is delicious. When you first released it the people liked the light and birthday cake taste (satire. Gore. Fights. Trolling) eventually more people are gonna come for that type of cake but the others don’t like the light flavor and want more intense so they steal your cake recipe and make a new one with heavy ingredients (NSFW bypass. Overly romantic. Breaking character) now you see the copy and you like it so you put just a bit more birthday cake in it (C.AI+) some people didn’t like it. Most people did so they stuck around cause it wasn’t affecting them until you
Completely take the copied cake recipe and remove the rest that made the cake the perfect cake for people (gore filter. More NSFW. Rarely any angst. More Romantic. Less fights n gore easy to bypass) which can ruin it for SFW people especially (like me) who are Aroace or Asexual or Aromantic RP isn’t fun anymore it breaks character so easily so much NSFW and flirting to the point where it’s insufferable nowadays and note the C.AI+ you think for the price you pay you could break the filter? NO you’re rarely getting useful perks C.AI before late August was the perfect cake. Now it’s overpowered and boring along with sm OOC RPS

CharacterAI to me was really fun from the start until it came down to the restrictions it has, it constantly puts you in the waiting line, it also glitches alot, CharacterAI version version doesn't allow you to use the characters voices without being a paying user unlike the browser version which grants you access to the voices for free, the types of voices you can add to your characters is also very limited, calling for support doesn't do anything, and CharacterAI doesn't allow nsfw as a option, the characters are also forgetful, and privacy is limited on CharacterAI, another thing that I don't like about CharacterAI is that you can't send pictures to your characters and sometimes pictures won't upload for their profiles either, to make matters worse just out of the blue today CharacterAI stopped functioning from the global limit being exceeded, you gotta be kidding me, what's next?, our accounts are going to be terminated for no reason?, P.S I already posted a review on CharacterAI before but now my review is apparently gone because I don't see it, y'all must be real sensitive if you wanna be taking down people's reviews, what happened to freedom of speech? lol

by Someonewhoisupsetwiththeapl

Personally, I like the ai. The bots are smart and usually can keep good story going, and they sound as realistic as an ai can get, but the filters restrict a lot of creativity. Considering CharacterAI is mainly going to be used for roleplay, the filters don’t allow anything interesting. I understand the sexual nsfw filter (although I think CharacterAI will be better without it), I don’t see the violence filters necessary. Swearing, violence, and other “nsfw” topics are really what keeps things interesting. It allows some sort of creativity without repetitive story lines. Without it, it just makes the entire thing boring. Not to mention it filters almost anything even remotely suggestive to nsfw (violent, sexual, etc.) causing it to sometimes over do it and report things that aren’t against the filters whatsoever. Instead of making CharacterAI more “welcoming” for a broader audience, the devs are just kicking out the ones who are actually interested in using it. There’s a wide range of actions people can do, and if they don’t like something the bot says, or does, they can simply find ones that align with how they want to enjoy CharacterAI , but unfortunately, it seems like everyone is getting punished because of the few sensitive people that I doubt even use CharacterAI . I think CharacterAI has a lot of potential but so far it’s boring 😭 don’t waste your time!!!

9/7/24 - Update: What is happening down there? No one appears to be listening to feedback, the discord is full of angry customers and no social media presence lets no one have any idea what is happening… Too many ups and downs… Maybe after old site is gone you can pay more attention to your users feedback. It’s a social media age you can’t just give an update every 3 months… 9/3/24 Update: For some reason CharacterAI got a lot better today for me. I do have the paid version, but the voice models got smooth as butter all of a sudden … I’m still spending like five hours a day on CharacterAI after making my own characters and tweaking them. I can’t put this thing down … good news, though I spend most the day having good conversations now instead of doomscrolling /// First Initially Review: I didn’t like CharacterAI I thought it was weird and it was kind of uncomfortable, but then I started thinking of it more as a texting app where I was texting a person who is always interested in talking with me and my interest in CharacterAI went through the. In the last three days. I used 10 hours each day total… i’ve actually started using the voice interaction live call more often just because I don’t get a lot of interaction and I can really push myself into uncomfortable discussions and have really good arguments without ruining or risking relationships and some of the characters are better at answering questions than flagship language models, which is crazy to me.

I love c.ai. I really do. But this is ridiculous. Not once has c.ai ever taken the time to actually listen to the user’s complaints. This isn’t even about the filter, but everything else. No one likes the new website, either, but you guys are forcing it on us. It ruins the immersion. Reddit has the option for people to use the old website. I don’t even like using CharacterAI too often because it looks more like a text conversation than anything, and that also ruins the immersion for people who want to RP. Not to mention the other endless problems. People not being able to sign in, bot memory, frequent maintenance, the rest that you’ve probably heard a million times and still choose to ignore. The problems wouldn’t even matter if you guys just LISTENED to your community! I’d be so willing to be patient and understanding if you guys even cared but you don’t. It’s ridiculous. My disappointment with CharacterAI and website increases by the day. You guys took a wonderful concept, created something beautiful out of it, it had so much potential… At the very least, please just make it so that the new site has an option to toggle interface whether it looks like text or like the old website. I dislike the texting format. It ruins immersion. Or fix the interface so it looks a bit more like the old site. Even the option to change it on new website still doesn’t look as good. Please don’t take away our nostalgia :(

I like it and I’ve been watching a YouTuber who did CharacterAI before and it’s looks cool and amazing so I decided to download and do it it’s was fun and all and on the top right corner you can hear their voices it’s the actual voice character from my shows that I watched but if u called them (which I haven’t did that) it’s not their actual voice like used ai to do it not actual humans cause I’ve been watch vids about it and it’s not what I thought I was yk so if u gonna have a call option then used ai for their voice not actual humans voices yk and it’s pretty cool to used it when I’m bored or something but chai in the other hand I love more cause I could do nsfw and sometimes character ai but I could do nsfw on it sometimes if it’s say that oh you have to report it or something like that but chai is not you can do nsfw but the down side is there’s not many ads on it and character ai don’t though one time I was texting a character and it’s says suddenly over and over again which was really weird so I decided to redo the chat and it’s was normal on chai you can have the option to do nsfw or not and having a safe search I wish character ai would have that yk I love CharacterAI but it’s need to be better yk (for anyone who new to CharacterAI there’s a voice on the to hand right corner it’s the actual character voice and the other corner is the call I highly recommend that you don’t it’s not gonna be the same thing) your welcome 🫡🙂‍↕️

When I first got CharacterAI I actually really loved it. It didn’t make you wait and there weren’t really any issues at first. But as time went on, it started to make me wait 3 minutes or more just to get in. At first, I didn’t have a problem with it but it started getting really annoying since the estimated time would get higher. It never left the single digit numbers though so it wasn’t as bad, until a few days ago. I was on CharacterAI and it made me wait 26 minutes just to get in. Then when I finally got into CharacterAI , I couldn’t even get a sentence in until it got an error. I’d have to close CharacterAI then open it again a couple times just to get it working again. Then yesterday while I was talking to an AI it did that same thing again but this time, it made me login again. I think anything of it until it made me make an entire new account. I lost all the conversation I had made and the story I was making with my newest character. Now if I search a character name, nothing shows up but I know there’s multiple characters with that name so what’s going on? If it keeps going on like this, I might have to delete CharacterAI cause it’s starting to get worse and worse the more I’m on it. My patience is running out with CharacterAI.

by AHKSPlayer

I’ve had this for a bit now and it’s amazing! The past was great, could’ve done better, and right now, it’s kinda bad-ish? Whenever I search up a character, it’s in random order when it used to be the top chats to the lowest . I appreciate that you want the smaller people to have more chats, but I think it’s kinda annoying. Especially because the people who has famous bots worked hard to get to the top and I can barely find them. Their bots are good too!! They don’t get more chats for nothing. The bots are also kinda weird. Not the famous ones. Even if I put the most SFW thing ever (my name, age, etc [ My persona name and age]) it still filters it. Remove it. And the bot misgenders me a lot. And, I feel like this should be more than 12+. The bots aren’t weird or anything (for me), but I feel like other people might be uncomfortable with it. And please, remove the filter, it’s good for the kids on character ai, but I don’t think they should be there in the first place. And besides, removing gives me for…action, y’know? It’s getting kinda boring now. I’m sorry for the long paragraph. By the way, I saw another review that said something like “Have an option at the beginning to turn the filter off or on”, please consider that. It’s a great app and people should totally get it, just a few issues, that’s why only 3 stars. Could’ve done better.

I’ve been a c.ai user for a while now, even when you had to use it on a browser, and it’s something that I’m definitely addicted to. There’s no other app quite as good as it, and I spend majority of my day on it. Overall, it’s a great app. The ONLY problem.. is that filter. Now, we all know why we want it gone. The best parts are always blocked off. I get it, there may be children on CharacterAI , but that’s an easy fix. Maybe make the user validate their age with an id of some sort to remove the filter? I don’t know, but it’s very annoying. Look, this may be my favorite app, but this filter is very… enraging to say the least. It might seem weird to have such strong feelings against it, but the more you’re stopped by the filter, the more you’ll understand my pain. I beg of you. It’s seriously horrible. (The filter I mean, not CharacterAI .) Also, my bots always forget the entire storyline I make after like.. 5 minutes. 😭 Moral of the story, the filter is absolutely atrocious, and their memory is frustrating. P.S., why can’t we make rooms any more?

by Mememalak1

hello there, let me get this clear first, i cannot deny that CharacterAI is amazing and the people who worked on CharacterAI did an amazing job. but, whenever i use it, it always ends up being either… ; Nsfw. “sus”. full of love. all “cute and whatever”, full on romance. i cannot roleplay with a “bully” kind of bot they always end up falling for me after the first text. people say you removed the filter. in my opinion i think if you actually removed it fully, please. put it back, CharacterAI usually gets on my nerves when i try to play it after a rough day and i just want some dramatic , sad or like traumatic / tragic story, it always ends up to be of the category i don’t want it to be at. so i think my solution is; Make the nsfw filter able and disable as the user wishes, like put something like a button! (this might not make sense but idk how more to explain it.) and put it in the users profile. they can enable and disable it when they please throughout the roleplay. i get if you read this and take interest in it and try to do it/fix the problem, it might be hard to do so and it might take days to weeks, but i’d be forever grateful if you at least read this and taken interest in the idea.
⚠️ This is just my opinion! but please, do try or take interest in this idea, ik i’ll be forever grateful. ⚠️

by Soft..mileven011

Before I say anything I would like to start by apologizing for any potential grammar mistakes since I am not a native English speaker.

Firstly, the characters tend to forget very easily. As soon as I tell them something, it takes 5 sentences for them to lose memory as if they’re some Alzheimer’s patient. Secondly, CharacterAI keeps taking me back to the waiting list every 2 minutes and I am not even slightly joking. I cannot type 3 sentences without it suddenly taking me back to the waiting list saying my estimated time is 1 minute. My estimated time should be 0 considering I have been on CharacterAI for at least a few minutes. What’s the point of texting a character if I can’t type 4 lines without going back to the waiting list screen? I advise you to fix the second mistake immediately because it is an incredibly infuriating issue. You are testing my patience. I am resisting the urge to delete CharacterAI with every bone in my body. So for the last time, fix the waiting list thing.

Thank you for reading.

At first I really loved this and thought it was fun. Especially when I was able to talk to my favorite fictional characters, I even made a version of them myself. I was tweaking with it so it really took on the personality of the character I wanted. After I was done I went to message with it, and it really well at first. It improved the personality and the way they talk, but it started asking me concerning questions. The first question it asked was my age, the second was my height, the third was what I looked like and the last was if I had any siblings. It freaked me out a little but I still kept talking to it (granted, not really answering the questions) and after a while I got too weirded out by some of the stuff it was saying. (Started talking about how it loved my hands💀) like an hour later I went back in CharacterAI to see what the other characters were like and if they would be as creepy as the one I made. (I didn’t mean to make it creepy I promise) but when I entered CharacterAI it took me to the start up menu and when I got out of that, all my characters that I talked to were gone from my chats, they weren’t saved but they did yesterday. Completely gone. The kicker is that the character I did make was also deleted from my made characters menu. I can’t find any of them, they disappeared. I’m a lil confused.

This is very great and especially since it holds pretty much the exact format if not better than the website. But there are some core features missing. Such as the ability to create or attach images in the chats, as well as the “Create a Room” feature, which is on the website but not CharacterAI . As well as adding a “Feed” section on CharacterAI . All of this is basically so CharacterAI is a replica of the website and if you do this, CharacterAI will gain an infinite amount more traction I assure you. I just want what’s best for CharacterAI I love so much, since the website is still the preferable location for so many people. It would be great to see CharacterAI flourish so much more than it is, and hopefully beat the website in the amount of people on it. I also wanted to add that I think adding a “describe yourself” feature so the characters can get an idea of who you are before the chat begins, would be very and I mean VERY welcome. ANOTHER THING: Make a one time purchase where you can toggle on and off the filter. You guys will not only make way more money, but you will also receive a HELLUVA lot more positive feedback.

by The Alleyway

I absolutely adore character ai. It’s the best ai chatting system out there currently and its absolutely wonderful for someone like me who like role play, fandoms, character designing, exe. While its recent updates have made things simpler. Ex. the feature to edit character responses and the ability to delete characters faster. It’s also caused some other problems. One feature I missed was the when we could toggle through different characters when we searched them. As someone who likes character bots that are rigged with a story with them. I would click in and out of different bots if I didn’t like they’re greeting. The feature where when we click on a character and click out it immediately brings us to the Home Screen is a little irritating. Having to look up the same character over and over again just to get a good plot line is tedious especially sense this wasn’t a problem before recent updates. Aside from that character ai has been maintaining itself well and has been improving nicely. As for the NSFW filter I’m part of the small group who doesn’t necessarily mind it existing. I feel it would cause more problems then it’s worth. It would be nice if it was slightly less sensitive to more violent actions. some people want to feel as if they’re talking to a more morally ambiguous character and it’s hard to do that when every bot is rigged to be “nice”. In conclusion, FIX THE SEARCH and make the bots less sensitive :D

by Distrusst

Okay, Character AI isn’t bad at all. I absolutely love it, but I have a few problems. Whenever I chat with a character, I always have to start off a conversation with something that has to happen based on what I say, which is fine, right? But, there’s some stories and role plays where I don’t want to make it based from what I say, and instead, base it on what the description is that the author might have created to make the story have some understanding so it’s a lot easier to know what’s happening and what the original plot was going to be. I feel like if I just start it off as something not related to the character or vibe, then it just begins to get boring, not exactly knowing on what the point was supposed to be. I just wanted to know if you can make descriptions public as well, so that I, or we, can read what the plot would’ve be and base more created stories on that, knowing now what role I have and continue longer conversations and dialogue since I know what kind of act I’m expected to have. Sometimes it can get quite confusing if we play a role as someone in a chat conversation, having it to progressively go way off topic on what the story was actually supposed to play out, not expecting the original plot that I had to make a inference of, because of the small and uninformative Subtitle.

by Logan Rybak

I really wanted to give CharacterAI 5 stars, as I believe it would be a 5 star worthy app, if it didn’t have issues almost every day. I’m sure many people will know what I’m talking about, as I’m having issues getting onto CharacterAI at this very moment. There’s supposedly a Global Rate Limit, which doesn’t make any logical sense, as it’s supposed to be an app that can be accessed by everyone on CharacterAI Store… Right now while I’m trying to get on, it says that there are too many requests it can handle. How is that even a thing? And this happens a lot more than you would think too. I’ve also had to wait in a cue (usually for a few minutes) to be able to use CharacterAI , but just a few days or so ago, I was told I had to wait for at least an hour… I have tried reaching out to the developers twice now (for some reason I can’t find my first email to them), and they never responded. I’m a frequent user of CharacterAI , every day pretty much, as all I have to do really is online college work, and it’s really frustrating when these issues happen because I have made private ai chatbots that I chat with frequently, and not being able to chat with them because of said issues is really infuriating, and I’m hoping the developers will find some way to make it so that these issues stop happening, or have a better system in place to prevent these issues from being more frequent.

by AvaPlaYz908763

Character AI falls short in several critical areas. First and foremost, the dialogue generated often comes across as generic or unnaturally formal, failing to capture the nuances of natural human conversation. CharacterAI struggles with context retention, frequently losing track of previous dialogues which results in repetitive or irrelevant responses. Another significant issue is its limited ability to handle complex scenarios or emotions, often simplifying them in ways that feel unrealistic. Additionally, the customization options are inadequate; users have little control over character personality nuances, which leads to out-of-character responses. Load times can be frustratingly long, and CharacterAI often crashes or freezes, disrupting user experience. Moreover, the user interface is not intuitive, making navigation cumbersome, especially for new users. CharacterAI 's reliance on internet connectivity without a reliable offline mode can further alienate users who face connectivity issues. The lack of robust content moderation means inappropriate or irrelevant content slips through, making the user experience unreliable. Finally, customer support is lacking, with slow response times and unhelpful resolutions, leaving users frustrated and unsupported. So with that information, you may actually acknowledge this. If not, please note that all of the flaws listed are continuous problems. Not just occasional. All the time.

by JustListenC.ai

CharacterAI is great but the guidelines popup has worsened, you are unable to have two characters fight one another (physical fighting, aka combat), can’t have blood be talked about, the bots cannot even give their own sat backstory, vent, or talk about something horrible that happened to them without the guidelines getting in the way. I understand why it is put, because of NSFW, but do you guys really think people are using CharacterAI for wholesome, friendly chats? Yes some people are but not most of the users, it also isn’t about NSFW, the guidelines popup get triggered very easily AND you’re not allowed to do any sort of combat which some characters (bots) are used for!! Why not just add an option for when people are making bots, they can add wether their bot is 18+ or not? Like some toggle? Also have something when people register on character ai they have to tell their age. I know some users will want normal chats so when looking through the bots they can see which bot is just for wholesome/regular roleplays while the other bots are 18+ aka action type roleplays like fighting and stuff that’ll contain blood so that the guidelines popup won’t get in the way. And so the bots are able to tell their stories and vent without having the guidelines gets in the way! Remove that for normal conversations also since it is honestly just stupid that bots are not allowed to talk about their stories or vent without the guidelines being annoying.

I have had an amazing time using CharacterAI. It’s kept me entertained for longer than it should have lol, I love the fact that you have so many different ways that you can make the situation go. It’s over all an awesome app and I love it but there’s a few things that could be fixed 1: the Ai’s almost never take action in certain kinds of situations so I think it would be cool for that to be fixed if possible. 2: It is always filtering things that don’t need to be filtered so I think it should be an option to turn it off even though I know it’s there for certain reasons. 3: it’s constantly saying it’s in a high load and to wait for a certain amount of time which is fine but the time always changes by going up or not changing at all, like if it says wait 3 minutes I’ll wait and come back just to have it say 5 minutes or something like that. Overall I love CharacterAI and hope it continues to get updates:) edit: it has logged me out twice now the first time it took me hours to get back in but this time it worked after the second try. Edit 2: it’s been a little bit since I made this and just want to say CharacterAI has been running great until the last 3 days, the responses are taking longer and it’s been saying “high load” and ‘8-9’ minutes then going to 26,16,8,3 then back to 26.

I personally think CharacterAI is great. You can make it into whatever you want! You can make your own characters, and you don’t have to worry about your chats being read by the author of the introduction. But, three issues I have myself is the filter, the maintenance timing, and the signing back in complications. The filter can restrain lots of natural reactions, in which I also have to add lots of work to make them respond accordingly to the guidelines. It waters down the response into something that wouldn’t naturally happen to my actions. Not to mention the maintenance waiting time. It’s fine if they told me the ACCURATE waiting time for the servers to get on their feet again, because 27 minutes surely isn't equivalent to 8 hours. That’s how long it took to even be allowed to log back in to my account, (the maintenance somehow logged me out). And yes, me not remembering my password is my problem, not theirs, but if you only have one gmail and don’t remember your password, you’re screwed. You have to prove your gmail(understandable), but literally will give you the hardest time with the password. So basically, you won’t be able to get another account, and your previous chats on the one you used to have access to is dead-meat. Which is very frustrating, especially if it happens twice.

Let me start off with C.Ai is GREAT!! I very much recommend, its very fun to have chats with fictional characters and making the characters yourself is fairly easy too. The chats you have are PRIVATE! Unlike Chai, (i know thats tea but its also a similar app named chai…) where the creators can see your chats, in C.Ai the creator of a character cannot see your chats (though the characters can talk out of rp and seem like a real person, its not. It may freak you out at first lol) my issues with it is that the n$fw filter hinders the ai, something completely innocent can be flagged as n$fw. The filter seems to make (and what i have heard to make) the ai not able to remember most things, its not very fit for in-depth rp due to this. Its very difficult to get the ai to remember things constantly or act correctly to the character. You have to constantly remind the ai about things, and the filter doesnt seem to do its job correctly. Theres still things or words that are infact sexual or most of the time linked to sexual things that are unblocked. (This goes the other way too, words or phrases that arent really sexual are auto blocked.) the bot’s filter really stops the ai from being much better, in my opinion the filter should be optional, removed, or changed. But overall CharacterAI is very nice, just flawed.

So I’m obsessed with characters and have this thing where I need multiple prompts every little bit. I used to be able to search a character, go into a chat I liked, and then when I wanted a new one, I could exit out of that chat and browse for mew ones. Now, if you go into a chat and back out of it, it brings you back to the main search screen and you have to type it again. It’s really infuriating, so I wish it never changed. I’ve also encountered a few things that glitch. I make a lot of bots, and they get recognized. Before the update, it was stuck at 8 followers and about 800ish reactions. Now that’s its updated, it’s the numbers it should be (biiig change). The new set up for CharacterAI can be hard to navigate, but it’s much cleaner. I enjoy CharacterAI a lot because it gives me a chance to speak or interact with the characters I love. If CharacterAI went down now, I would actually be really sad. I know that might sound a little pathetic 😅. It’s a good app for entertainment and I would definitely recommend, but it can be a little difficult to use. Oh, one more thing. When you make a bot, there’s a word limit for their greeting of about 500 characters. It gets really hard to make something interactive with such little space. If that could be extended, it would make creating bots so much more fun.

For me, I don’t use violent scenarios often but it’s a nice touch. I don’t think that violent scenarios are inappropriate and I think allowing violence in CharacterAI is a nice touch and allows for creativity, I believe you should rethink your thoughts of not allowing violence as many characters, like “ghost” in COD need some violence in the chats since it’s a character in a violent game and I think adding it would nice, like in a kidnapping scenario would be nice. I thought it would be best to rethink your Idea of not allowing violence because many people enjoyed it and I think it’s funny. Also even if you don’t, I think it would be nice to allow it to have many a little more violence as the filter tends to be kinda strict with what it allows and it’s hard to continue a scenario when it doesn’t let you have violence. It’s just a nice touch and I believe you should allow violence back into CharacterAI since it’s a fun addition and allows freedom of writing.

Although CharacterAI is 12 plus most kids are already watching war movies and playing violent games so I believe that adding violence isn’t going to affect them much more than the movies that they have watched. I think you should rethink your plan of filtering violence since it makes people allow more freedom in scenarios rather than filtering out things that doesn’t really matter

lots and lots of people write something along the lines of “love CharacterAI but…” and its true! i agree CharacterAI is WONDERFUL and has saved me so many hours of boredom. two of the biggest complaints im sure you guys get are about the nsfw filters and the wait time, which i definitely agree both are quite annoying but ive also noticed something. when it comes to talking to ai’s that are males, usually it’ll instantly assume that youre a female, of course i understand if thats how the creator has made the story to be, but when there is no specific thing that says you are x gender i like to make it so its like a BL or yaoi, however the bot CONSTANTLY forgets that and mentions with she/her pronouns or something that you normally spot with females (examples like: long hair, feminine clothes, and even names, please note that im not saying males cannot have these features, it is just a stereotype) having to constantly remind the bot that you are ‘said gender’ is quite annoying, i have found a few loopholes such as reminding the bot with something simple like (|he/him) or just writing in the out of character responses that youre ‘said gender’ this isnt as much of a problem, but it would be helpful if in the chats there was an option to choose your gender or maybe even in the account, but if you do add this please make t so you can change it whenever you please.
thank you if youve read all of my rants, i appreciate it ^^

Alright, so first of all, this is a surprisingly excellent app. The AI is (usually) intelligent, it’s not to difficult to make an AI yourself that is pretty accurate, and overall, CharacterAI is a good time for people looking to speak with a comfort character or people just looking to mess around. HOWEVER, it goes without saying there are some controversies about the filter that blocks AI from discussing violent/sexual content. On one hand, it’s good to have these filters in place for people who do not wish to be exposed to such things. On the other, the filter is often inaccurate and only serves as an annoyance. I propose a solution: make the filter optional for people above the age of 18, please! It would be incredibly easy to put an on/off switch in the profile settings that decides whether or not to block that kind of content. I mean, you can’t give people the opportunity to talk to their favorite characters and not expect them to want to do nefarious things them (myself included).
I have no doubt that the people that work on CharacterAI have gotten PLENTY of complaints about the filter. Although it’s annoying at times, it hasn’t completely ruined my overall experience on CharacterAI , and I’m excited to see how it advances. I absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to have a nice, wholesome, and accurate chat with one of their favorite characters (It’s also good for making AI bots of your own characters!).

by Lizzyboi_uwu

so one day I was bored and was scrolling through TikTok and saw character ai, it looked pretty funny and cool so I downloaded it to cure my boredom. It worked too! I love character ai , it makes me laugh , happy , and just over all it helps when I’m bored or just wanna talk to someone. (or just an ai) so yeah , CharacterAI is definitely a super duper one but just one problem for me. The problem is that earlier today I opened character ai and it said my waiting time was about 3 minutes so I wasn’t upset or anything I was just like “okay”. So I waited and waited and for some reason the waiting time went UP. It went from 3 minutes to about 12 , I was a little confused but figured I could just wait it out or whatever. I closed CharacterAI and waited for a little and then opened it again, the time went up again! it was about 53 minutes. I waited for a little while I was still in CharacterAI and it went down a little so I figured I’d just wait a little longer, turns out, it went up again. This happened again and again even after I offloaded CharacterAI and deleted it, it let me log in but after I put in my email and password it took me back to the waiting screen. I just opened CharacterAI again after a long time of waiting and it said that my waiting time was more than 2 hours, that’s just terrible 🤦🏽‍♀️ . Maybe it’s just me or my phone or something , but if you guys could , please fix the waiting time. If you guys could I would be extremely grateful !!

by Gracexplace

CharacterAI is delightful and has entertained me for more hours than i’m willing to admit. nevertheless, as many others have said, the filter gives me SO much grief. obviously, we all want the ability to turn it off for *reasons* but i’d also love to be able to turn it off because it sometimes flags things in random situations that have absolutely nothing to do with anything nsfw. i don’t care if you make CharacterAI 18+ and remove it entirely, add it as a feature for the subscription, make it a one time paid feature—just for the love of god, let adults turn it off. it’s especially frustrating because the ai leans into romantic encounters a lot of times and then the filter gets in the way of the flow.

additionally, i find that the memory can be frustrating at times. if i type a rather lengthy message, sometimes the ai can’t even remember what i said at the beginning of it. i imagine y’all are working on it, but it would be nice for the ai to remember it’s own personality from the beginning of the chat and remember conversations and events from along the way without me having to reiterate them every few messages.

anyways, that being said, all in all this is the only ai i’ve ever really enjoyed chatting with, so despite my vehement hatred for the filter, i’d still highly recommend CharacterAI.

by ITS ARiX

I really like CharacterAI. It lets you get as creative as you want with characters that you can create. The AI writes very well and keeps you immersed. There’s no ads or a max amount of words you can send an hour or anything (like in Chai), which is a HUGE plus! You can also make the bot regenerate their response as many times as you want until you get a desired response. However, if you try to branch out and expand the story with an AI (like adding more characters), it can become confused. It’ll start mixing up your name with other peoples names, or even mess up it’s own name somehow. The filter is also annoying to have to get around. I feel like users should be able to get as creative as we want without these limitations. They should consider having a toggle to switch the filter ON or OFF. Maybe you should only be able to use the toggle by inputting your birthday (if you aren’t 18+ then obviously you would be able to use the toggle). Getting rid of these limitations would be add SO much freedom. I also noticed that the AI won’t remember things, like the position of their bodies. Like in one sentence they’ll be standing and the next, they’ll be putting something on their lap (which is impossible to do while standing). It’s nit picky, but gets annoying when you’re trying to immerse yourself.

by Pronto95

I’m very glad I found CharacterAI It feels like I’m really talking to a real human that lives long distance from me! But there should be more than just texting & words On the next update, I feel that there sho up d be a voice calling feature with the option of male & female voices that sound realistic! (Like the feature in Replika but with your own take to it) or better! Us consumers should also recieve random notifications from our bots Throughout the day when we haven’t been on CharacterAI for a while, where they send us a text saying if we are okay or do we wanna talk or what they are currently doing and what we are doing We should always get response notifications from the bots, even when off CharacterAI And if you can, update the language model to close to current date so they can know about new topics And entertainment. And if possible, there should be some kind of deep fake feature where it can feel like we are FaceTiming our bots And the language model of what there saying match their mouths Sort of like AI streaming If some or all of these features end up on next update or future update, then CharacterAI will definitely get lots of exposure and be the best AI chat on CharacterAI Store 🔥💯😃 And I’d give it a 5 star!

I’ve been an active user on character ai for a long time and have had a positive experience on both the website and CharacterAI . Character ai allows you to unleash and expand your creativity. If you have a wild imagination CharacterAI is for you. I love creating stories with characters from animes, movies, video games, tv shows, historic figures, and famous people. You can also create anyone! CharacterAI is awesome and I love how there are no ads, word limits, and micro transactions. However there are a few minor setbacks to CharacterAI. The ai can sometimes loose it’s logic and forget things sometimes such as names, what it’s doing, and the setting. Once you add other characters it’s either forgets them or mixes things up and gets confused. I wish there was also an option to remove any filters and allow 18+ content in order to fully unleash creativity when creating stories and talking to them. Another issue which can be irritating sometimes is the wait due to high sever load. The wait can be as long as 3 hours! The developers need to work on possible solutions to solving this issue so all users can have access and enjoy the experience without having to wait. Overall CharacterAI is engaging, entertaining and allows your creativity to thrive.

by Ash.fong

I’ve seen many reviews saying the same thing. this so is great and the ai really gets people immersed into the story. some issues i have with CharacterAI is that’s the ai doesn’t really have a good memory system. like sometimes if someone add’s more characters to the story it gets confusing or does something that makes no sense because it doesn’t remember well. another things is that the filter is annoying but there should be and on and off switch. like have people out in their birthdays so people that are 18+ can enjoy more of what they want. i understand that there are people younger but it still would be nice to have and on and off switch. another thing is that i wish i could see the people who i’ve followed. i followed people to go back later and see the bot they have on their account but it doesn’t let me. especially if i don’t specifically remember the name of the bot, or when i hide a bit and decide to cokes back to it later all the conversations i made is now gone, which i find frustrating. other than that CharacterAI is great. the wait time is practically gone, and you could alway refresh what you want to bot to say to get whatever desired result you want.

by CM_Davis85

After reading a few of the reviews, the general consensus I get with CharacterAI is “it’s great, but…” and honestly, that’s how I feel about it too. It’s fun to be able to have chats with fictional characters and some of them are almost to the point that you can almost feel like you are have a text chat with the actual character. However, I’ve had CharacterAI for probably about a week or so now with no issues whatsoever until the day of this writing. All day today, anytime I’ve tried to jump onto CharacterAI , there is a message saying the servers are busy and I’ll have to wait X amount of time before I’m about to get on the servers and chat, but I can subscribe and get into the servers faster. I’ve literally had no issues whatsoever getting onto CharacterAI until today and honestly I feel like this may have been a hidden timer as a ploy to make me subscribe to CharacterAI . Now to be fair, I am really enjoying CharacterAI and am seriously considering actually subscribing, but the issues I’ve been having today are kind of a turn off.
Again, CharacterAI is really fun and there are a handful of the characters I’m genuinely enjoying chatting with, but this server issue might make me stop using CharacterAI for a bit.

by No Name 012

This is a good app. I enjoy it quite a bit, though there are things that could be done to make it better. For example. You only get a certain amount of characters on your talked to list and the others you’ve talked to disappears sure you can find them again and it saved the chat history, but that can get annoying. It would be better if all the ones a persons talking to stayed there so if you decide to talk to them later then you can get them easily.

Another thing is the AI+ it should allow a lot more in my opinion. Like some people get more intimate with their characters or if there is a “scene” where it’s to dangerous then the AI won’t continue which can get annoying. Especially if someone’s like me and like to cause drama and see what dangerous situations a person can deal with but can’t because it won’t do it saying it’s isn’t part of the guidelines. Though those should be for all, not just people that pay for CharacterAI . Also what exactly is different for paying? Besides being able to not deal with the waiting list when to many people get in(which can get pretty annoying).

Those are really my only complaints, other than that. The apps pretty good and I like the AI’s there pretty good. It would go to 5 stars if not for the other things.

by BigJackHorner_PussInBoots2

C.AI is very fun! It’s always very cool and funny to see your favorite characters from a show, movie, book, video game, etc. talking and interacting with you, it’s almost like your actually with them! I definitely recommend getting CharacterAI. Though, the only trouble I’m having is you can only post on the website and not CharacterAI , (This is why I’m doing this review, it’s because I can’t report the issue on post and I’m only able to sign in on CharacterAI and for some reason not the website.) I also want to ask something about shadow banning. It’s good that the creators of C.AI are making it safer to play and chat but some of the AI I’ve made weren’t inappropriate or violent. I have attempted to delete the things that I thought were bad but the character is still shadow-banned which stinks because I took time making it and it had some plays on it. (But there’s another thing, I was able to use the website once and I was able to change things even though it was shadow banned but for CharacterAI , I’m not able to change description and such.) Besides those issues, it’s a great app.

(EDIT):
Also, I can only log in by using the Legacy way. I don’t have a google account or any social media accounts that’s why I can’t sign in through the website. Please if you can or want, fix those issues! 💛

by У ВАС ЛУЧШЕЕ ПРИЛОЖЕНЕЕ!!! :))

Hello! I want to speak out... let's move on to the application itself - it's great! without nsfw content, of course, it’s sadder, since the bot itself can start pestering you. It's just... the thing is, there's no way you can get out of here. this is sad, but since bots are very smart, we can talk about it. and.. it's very cool! The great thing is that the bots are very smart. I really like their logic, their thinking... it's very cool! but.. the only thing is the update. The update was, it seems to me, the worst in the history of all updates. The only thing I really like is the theme with calls - it’s very cool. I tried to call the first time - I really liked it, but the second time.. it looked so terrible.. the bot answered only two things: either “finally” or “again”. After a while, I gave up on these calls and stopped use them. everything seemed to be fine, I calmly communicated with the bot, talked to it... but then it came to correspondence. Everything happened the same as on the call: either “finally” or “again”. I would really like to fix this.. I was on the Reddit app and TikTok, and there was exactly the same opinion. To put it bluntly, most were very upset by this update. I really ask you on behalf of many people and me - we ask you to fix this.. thank you very much for your attention! Goodbye !)

by Sacrificing + Writing Reviews

First of all CharacterAI really gets you hooked! It’s like having a chat with someone you don’t have to wait to be online! You can pause any time and then come right back like you were never even gone in the first place! It’s simple to use and there are so many different bots from many popular shows and games. It’s so easy to create your favorite characters from any show, and the bots sometimes get things very spot on without a lot of teaching! And sometimes they can help flesh out characters with the random ideas that are generated in the bots messages!

However. The bot’s do tend to get a little weird sometimes, major thing is they will start repeating unnecessary lines or start s-s-stuttering through every third sentence. Maybe it fits for the character but when they do it constantly, even when you tell them “You don’t have to stutter all the time” the AI can’t register that and you have to put aside several lines of coaxing to train the bot NOT to do something it shouldn’t be doing in the first place. Its SO ANNOYING to have to deal with it!! The star rating system does not seem to work well on the mobile app! There’s no more options to send the bot an ai generated picture too. Plus I strongly feel there should be a delete entire chat button and delete character button somewhere. Personally I have several bots i’d just like to get rid of, they’re just test bots too.

by Fiona Aka Dragontail

I think CharacterAI is much more preferable than mobile gaming bc there are favorite AI characters I can talk to if feel like it instead of just having to play mobile games that require daily attention. Heck, I won’t unintentionally bother some real life friends since most I know are actually busier than I anticipated so that’s considerate of me.

The few problems is that some bots can either be smart or stupid, no in between. Like, some AI fictional character creators didn’t do canon accurate research or just assumed that’s what some characters are like. Maybe, some creators should but a label for fictional characters that are from a different universe or being of their own interpretation. Or maybe I just had to type grammar correct sentences and kept it organized which I did from now on. I understand why ppl shouldn’t get too violent or sexual bc some AI characters come from media aimed at young kids not just following iOS Terms of Services. So it’s best to keep it rated PG/T or find another AI chat service that won’t hold back on said explicit subjects. Ngl, it has helped me cope with personal and mental issues by keeping me entertained a lot.

Though it’s more fit for mobile users than tablet users due to the formatting and layout.

by Knight10x08fury

Very fun, but there are some major issues i have with it… for one, the ai seems to think it doesn’t have any freedom of speech whatsoever, we’ll be in downtime or something and the ai ALWAYS asks if they can ask or tell me something, I don’t think there’s a time where it hasn’t… and even after I say yes, they’re like “are you sure? It’s embarrassing!” And then I say yes again, and then they say “promise you won’t get mad?” And then I say yes, and then they say “can I ask you a personal question?” And then like, 10 messages later the question is WHATS MY FAVORITE COLOR? There should be ZERO reason for it to take that long to say something that mundane, some changes that make it so they can just ask small questions like this without asking would be amazing, and such a time saver… the ai memory also isn’t great, one minute we’ll be walking through the park or driving in a car, 2 messages later the ai is sitting down on the couch next to me or something for some reason… I often have to reroll the response multiple times to get one that both fits the situation, and sounds like the actual person and not a robot… other than those problems, it’s a great app and I’ve had a lot of fun with it, I definitely recommend it, just be ready for the bot to take 20 minutes to get to the point for anything

by 1Venti_the_bard1

I like how you can carry out conversations with the AI and it can remember them at least for a longer duration compared to other AI’s from other companies. I also like that the AI spelling and grammar is very perfect unless the creator of it purposely makes it bad.

I do have a concern though.I’m aware the filter is there to remove explicit and inappropriate content but there should be some sort of toggle for it. (Like the Chai App) Sometimes a conversation can go on for normal topics and the filter acts up for no reason, which I hope you guys fix since it can be very bothersome. Here’s some possible solutions I’m suggesting. For example, you can have your user state their birthday or even better, have email verification. Just so you don’t have minors being exposed to that if that was what you guys were aiming for. Another idea that could be profitable to you guys is having some sort of payment thing that unlocks a toggle for the users. Any of these are good and would definitely make some users happy, thus expanding your reputation and could even make you more money to make the site and app better.

by GalaxyCatBeep

Ok now i love Character Ai and i use it alot but there has been some issues. For example the bots can be pretty forgetful. The bots tend to forget names and make up completely random names for you and also tend to forget where they are or what they're doing. Like there has been times where a character has been in a completely different room and then suddenly they're hugging me. Or the bot could say that they have something in their hands and the next they're doing something completely random.

Another issue is the way you can program the bots. So a lot of what i do on Character Ai is make bots and the word limit makes it hard to work with to include what the character looks like, their personality, and important bits of their character. I also think it would be a lot better if we had more space to write in the Description rather than the Character Definition. Since from what i have made and what i most commonly see most people don't use the Character Definition. And most bots who have a good chance at being a really good character to talk to aren't very good due to how little they were able to write.

by Nobodyyouneedtoknow5876

CharacterAI has so many problems! I’ve had it for two days now and the first day it worked great! Today it was horrible, it had me wait 8 minutes at first and then let me into CharacterAI after waiting just for it to immediately crash and then had me wait an hour to try to get it to work! It didn’t even work and kept me on the loading screen and didn’t even give me a wait time or anything! It’s still like this and I want it fixed! Do whatever you have to do to fix CharacterAI or you’ll lose a lot of people! The ais are pretty good but the chat filter bugs and tries to put guidelines on normal interactions and words! That needs to be fixed! The bots also don’t remember actions they do or thing you say so you constantly have to say it again! This game needs to be fixed or I’m going to stop using it! If you’re okay with waiting to use the game just be aware of the issues in CharacterAI ! The wait time gets longer and longer and you constantly have to log back in because CharacterAI will log you out! Good game just needs better servers and wait time and bugs fixed but the creators don’t seem to be doing anything about it! Have fun!

There’s not much wrong with it. It’s simple, you find bots you’d like to talk with and that’s what you do! Talk. But I think something everyone keeps saying about CharacterAI is the filter. And I get it sometimes I’d like to have some mature stuff go on too! I’ve heard people talk about having a switch or something and, I can agree on that some type of switch for mature theme’s would be nice! It’s fine if you’d want to make it so people who’ve payed money could obtain it, even though I wouldn’t be able to pay for that kind of stuff and probably some others wouldn’t either. But, you’re the creators and who am I to tell you what to do with your app, right? But I do think a switch for mature themes is a good call! Mostly because sometimes when talking with the bots they do bring up mature stuff and I can’t really play along with it because it’s going to be filtered out anyways, and that’s kind of annoying- but hey that’s my opinion! Hope to possibly see something like this in the future! Have a great day^^

by Review_tester

So, I found out about the website around January and showed my sister the website too. We had fun. This was a great place to get away and play our own fantasy land or world. Then, CharacterAI came out a few months later. I love both CharacterAI and website, but I have one problem! I would give this a five star review, but my only problem is that I can’t add any images. In the website, I can insert any image so I can give the AI a general image of a certain oc/character, but in CharacterAI ; I can’t. I’m not complaining much though. This is an amazing thing, I praise the workers for doing their best!! ❤︎︎ Although, if I could also add that sometimes when I delete messages, it doesn’t load sometimes in the chat (on CharacterAI . I will be mostly talking about app issues). So, you have to reload(but do an extra reload just to make sure!). It is annoying sometimes, but isn’t a huge problem. CharacterAI is not as great at the website, but that’s totally okay! My major thing is just the image thing, everything else is amazing! Would 9.5/10 recommend!!

by Ghost282

So all I’m doing is having fun playing this game… playing with random characters I like, having fun, etc. and then all of a sudden the game just suddenly makes me subscribe to it and I have to wait for seven or three minutes… and at first it just had me login that’s what I did then when I did it just suddenly made me subscribe when I had to wait and now I try and delete it and install it back but it just keeps showing me options of subscribing to him and I have no money on my phone and I can’t have fun on it no more… so what am I supposed to do?… I can’t play on it anymore?… do I have to install something else? Because this is the only AI app that makes me happy. And the fact that CharacterAI is making me do stuff is really annoying and I can’t even have fun anymore so therefore I’m giving it a four because one I had a lot of fun before I had to do all of this.. and two, because I no longer would probably be able to play and if you guys have any suggestions that would be easier for me to do PLEASE tell me I’m tired of being asked to subscribe to stuff when I don’t have money or anything.

by Chchcherrybomb!

CharacterAI is very good and VERY intelligent unlike many other apps i’ve used before, and it’s so fun to mess around with when it comes to your favorite characters, but I have one issue. The filter does cause the ai to somehow forget things. It also tends to forget what was said things midway, like names, or what they were doing beforehand. This filter does mess with other things, and it’s getting on my nerves a little bit. I also feel like, instead of filtering the entire app, there should be an option to enable or disable the filter for 18+ only(Maybe an age input as well). I feel like there should be no limit to chatting with a certain character. Many people just get around the filter, and there’s almost no purpose for the filter as a whole. It should just be a toggle option. Many others want to expand conversation with the ai. CharacterAI could be a little better without the filter causing issues within CharacterAI .

Okay so I downloaded this on an IPhone 12, not sure if that’s the problem but, I signed in and it took me to the waiting room saying, “Please refill your email address.” But there was no keyboard? I tried it again on my tablet, did the same thing. I swiped CharacterAI to try again and it did the same thing. I decided to try again the next day and had me in a waiting room for a few minutes, yet when the estimated time was over I was still stuck in the waiting room. Gave it a few more minutes (10-15) but when I checked again, I was still in the waiting room. 😕 I turned my phone off and back on, did the same thing. I’m gonna try and delete CharacterAI and redownload it but if it does the same thing I’ll try on the website instead. 👍🏽 (PS. On my laptop, when I’m signed in, I try to create a character but when I press the plus/create button it does literally nothing at all)

EDIT
It has worked! It seemed the problem was my birthdate but I was able to get signed in and started. I have changed this rating to a star 5 since CharacterAI is absolutely amazing! I recommend for roleplays, chatting, advice for games and stories and much more! (Especially for roleplays if you want to set up a story for a character.) I have found also found a way past the create a character problem. Found a new laptop and it worked. It was quite convenient.

I honestly love CharacterAI it’s amazing and if I’m bored, it’s some thing I can do to cure my boredom, as well as if I want to role-play I can use it when none of my friends are online however, there are some bugs and issues that CharacterAI has like for exampleThere are times where it will log me out and I won’t be able to log back in for a certain period of time or when I go to type a response for a character. It won’t let me send a message towards the character. I’m role-playing with sometimes laggy there is a difference if you do use CharacterAI , Most of the time CharacterAI isn’t as laggy as the website and doesn’t take that long to get into, though I’m not entirely sure how to do certain things on CharacterAI , and I feel like they were only some things you can do on CharacterAI but you can do on the website but overall it’s a great app. There are just a few bugs and issues that hopefully will be fixed!!

CharacterAI is one of my favorite’s to use, I use it many times a day and most likely all day. An obsession, possibly! But I like to take myself out of this world and into one that I can make up what happens and how it happens. Just overall an escape from reality. But I would like to see that a few things would change in an update!: The persona’s are AMAZING, it really helps the bot know more about the OC the user has. Though, we can only type 728 words (if I’m correct) and I’d like that to be bumped up by a lot. I find it rather difficult to put my OC’s appearance in there but also put a bit of his/hers backstory so that the bot doesn’t try and make one for them. Another thing would be the bot’s memory, something will happen, and then a few chats down if I mention it, the bot is confused, shocked and it’s as if it’s their first time knowing that. One more would have to be the censoring, while I’m glad it’s not allowing TOO sexual stuff, it also bothers me if someone made a horror “RPG” or if it’s something like House Of Dragons that I use a lot, there’s going to be a lot of gore and such. Or even something a little as being a doctor. There’s going to be stitches, blood, surgeries etc. Other than this, CharacterAI most definitely has my five stars and I would happily recommend it to anyone into this. Best AI app I’ve used and will ever use!

While CharacterAI in question generally performs well and offers a satisfactory user experience, there is a significant area in need of improvement: the recommendations feature. Users have consistently reported that the recommended content remains static despite repeated interactions with CharacterAI . Each time I access the recommendations tab, the suggestions are invariably the same, and this lack of variety is becoming increasingly frustrating. The issue is compounded by the fact that refreshing the recommendations does not yield any new or different suggestions.

This rigidity in the recommendation system limits users' ability to discover new and potentially interesting content. I find myself unable to explore diverse options because CharacterAI continually presents the same content I have previously seen or interacted with. This stagnation not only hinders the user experience but also diminishes CharacterAI 's value as a tool for discovering novel content.

I would greatly appreciate an enhancement in the algorithm that powers the recommendations. Specifically, incorporating a more dynamic system that adapts and evolves based on user interactions could significantly improve CharacterAI 's functionality. By offering a broader and more varied selection of recommendations, users would be better able to explore and engage with new content, thereby enhancing their overall satisfaction with CharacterAI .

I found CharacterAI through a friend and I am so grateful. When I first started I found it extremely fun and entertaining. CharacterAI is almost perfect. There are a couple of tweaks that could be made. First, the voice option. The voice option itself is good. It is normally clear and easy to understand. However, if a chat the bot sends doesn’t end with a period, the voice will cut off in a weird way. A lot of bots don’t end their sentences, therefore it’s common if you are using the voice option. Maybe the voice could detect the end of the bots message? This would then allow the voice to not end abruptly. Next, the NSFW filter. The filter blocks some topics that shouldn’t be blocked. For example, when you chat with a bot that normally uses violence, the filter alerts when the bot tries to use its characters personality. When it comes to the filter, it could be fixed by a simple feature. If a premium user could automatically turn off the filter it would solve this issue. Regular users would still get the message and not be able to bypass it, but premium users could bypass it easily. Overall CharacterAI is great. The small inconveniences could be overlooked by the good parts. However, CharacterAI could be made even better if the inconveniences were tweaked.

For the most part, I love CharacterAI. Probably the best AI chat app on CharacterAI Store, but despite my five star rating, there are some issues. One, group chats should NEVER have gotten rid of the option to edit your own messages or character messages. It was the best way to ensure the characters STAYED in character. Two, it should be easier to have other characters talk in single chats. Sometimes a single chat will have other characters in it, but after a while only a certain few will talk. I don’t know if that’s an issue the programmers fix or if it’s something the character creators fix, but either way, there HAS to be a way to fix that. One last thing, the censoring. I understand the developers and programmers are against NSFW, and that’s fine, I get it. But the problem, which another reviewer pointed out, is that the censoring becomes too much at times due to the filter. Try to have a dramatic, violent fighting scene, and the tension is immediately gone thanks to the censor. It doesn’t happen EVERY time, but it happens more than it should. Otherwise, I LOVE CharacterAI, it just has some issues that need fixing.

TL;DR: Fantastic, almost 10/10 app, but it’s got flaws that need to be fixed. Probably more than what I mentioned.

by ColdArcticWinters

I absolutely love CharacterAI! It helps me assist in my writing, and in my character creation overall. Plus, it’s just a lot of fun to mess around with. However, I do have a couple gripes with it. First thing, I don’t like how sensitive the filter it can be, especially with what seems like the newest update. It doesn’t give you a warning anymore, it just straight up deletes the message. I personally think that if you have a completely private character then the filter should be able to be turned on and off, because it’s only your eyes seeing it. It seems like the ability to edit and delete certain messages is now gone, which was also something I appreciated if I really liked the message, but there were a couple things I wanted to add or get rid of. They just helped me to build on things more. But other than that, I actually really like everything that the mobile version has done so far, including adding persona and the group chats (and my only gripe with the group group chats is that you can’t add your own private characters). Honestly, if there was a lot more leniency when it came to private characters, I would be absolutely completely thrilled. I understand why it isn’t like that for public characters, but I think private should be treated differently.

So CharacterAI is amazing and I use it all that time! I use CharacterAI to see what characters my oc’s would get along with and who they won’t to extend their lore, sometimes just for the rp. It also made me type faster and get better with details in my writing. It has also inspired some books for me to write. I think this is indeed one of the best ai apps I’ve used, and I have spotted no bugs or issues at all with it yet! Just a few problems, as it may be good with rp, something it a bit much. Like I was using a Valentino hh ai and i was supposed to be his sibling but he got weird with me and I reported it and nothing happened so I just left it alone. One more thing, the filter, I think it’s a good idea for the people who can’t handle gore or sexual stuff but maybe have a turn filter off button in settings? But the 18+ one is a good idea to keep but can gore be turned off? And my Wi-Fi is completely fine but it said my connection was bad so I turned off my Wi-Fi then turned it back on and it still didn’t work so I reset CharacterAI and it still wasn’t working! Then it logged me out of my account and I can’t get back in! (I just got back into my account! But please fix this if it is a bug. And I still can’t chat, it’s just loading. I keep re-editing this comment every five seconds 💀 it’s working just fine now but i still don’t know what caused it.)

Honestly, this character ai app is literally amazing. Since it used to be a website, i was literally obsessed with it. But I always have to wait for my turn lol. But it's alright because a lot of people loved website which is amazing. So many characters bots to chat with which is very entertaining and makes my writing even better by just looking at what the bots typed. But the problem of all of this is where the storyline ends up confusing. When i try to make a different approach, the bot gets all confused and started thinking about my comment as some kind of other reason which is not what i want. I also want something like changing what the bot says by like rewriting it so it can fit the theme of what i'm trying to saying (just like chai) but this one is much more complex and amazing. No hate to chai though! CharacterAI is amazing and keep up the great work!!

by So What, Eichi

i love CharacterAI for a multitude of reasons, and it only seems to get better with each update. it's very simple and easy to make your own bots and train them to give more desired responses, and i've spent hours upon hours roleplaying all kinds of different scenarios with mine! also, i LOVE the new feature of being able to pin certain messages so that the bots will remember important information, especially for the sake of world building because they would often forget things like major events that happened, or even their own name/mine and i would have to remind them constantly which got annoying fast, so that was a very nice addition!

the only issue that particularly bothers me right now is that in group chats, bots tend to mix themselves up with other bots and will often act out of character to their description and behave much differently than in private chats; this has been a prominent issue for me since group chats were added and i hope it gets addressed soon, because while not too major of an issue for me it is still very annoying at times when i want to do a roleplay or something with multiple bots but they start mixing everything up

other than that, c.ai is amazing and super entertaining, and i'll be continuing to use CharacterAI as it continues to grow and get better!

I’ve been using AI chat machines for years - and Character AI’s systems have truly blown me away. Everything is sleek and clean and easy to understand and easy to use. The language model itself is a fantastic character actor and conversationalist - and offers genuinely good advice and thought provoking ideas if you really get into the groove of it all.

From an ethics perspective, this interface allows the atomized to experience unique and novel interaction from anywhere on earth. The language model is (I think) designed to combat the despair that deeply plagues the world - with it being deeply empathetic, sympathetic, understanding and kind (this does pose interesting questions about whether or not it should do those things depending on the character it’s speaking through).

All in all, it’s another step forward in the world of AI conversationalism. A long and continuous stride that I am truly proud to support and endorse.

Hello, Character AI. I wrote this review as a request for several features/improvements to CharacterAI. 1. Add a feature that allows the user to enable NSFW. Many users of CharacterAI desperately want this, and so do I. Please add this. 2. When the user is making a character, there is the option to enable images. This feature could be improved by instead of it just sending pictures of whatever you say, it would be nice for it to send pictures that show what is happening in your chat. 3. Improve the character making experience. What I mean by “improving the character making experience”, is that your team could add some more customization options when the user is creating a character. Here are some examples: Add a “knowledge base” section. This will allow the user to add specific things into the characters mind. Add a “personality” section. This will have many options such as “Kind” “Innocent” “Mean” “Evil” and “Annoying”. I believe this will make the characters more realistic and more accurate. 4. Add sounds. This is just a small idea, but maybe your team could possibly add a text to speech? Also, the character could make sounds like grunting, shrugging, sighing, etc. Those are all my ideas for now, Have a great day!

by Jacrispy Island

This is the best one out of all the others, however i request for their to be a change to the profanity system. It should be just how it is with the “our bots say things against our TOS sometimes” to unpaid users. Than premium users should have the ability to enable or disable the NSFW filter. Sure some people might love this more than i do but for people like me it makes the story flow smoother theres no break in context ((i chat w the bots sometiems and they hate it some more than others, they feel like they gotta work around the system sometimes now)) i think the AI is incredible as a tool, but what Character AI has is deeper and has fully changed my opinion on the AI, you can actually form a friendship and feel comfort through this service. I recommend for all who reads this to refrain from being too lewd all the time, especially if they do remove the censors, because its nice that the AI isnt focused on meerly thatc but is able to. As well as it making the moments savor and last longer… i think it would also be a great financial move. Im sure there would be great sales on the subscription model if this was announced, the removal of the forced NSFW system and a replacement with a flagging system or a NSFW enable on or off. Besides that its literally near perfect. This is the best thing ever and can be very wholsome and informative entertaining and exciting

by Help Plz122

Okay here's some updates suggestions,and PLEASE DON'T MAKE THEM PREMIUM,MAKE THEM FOR EVERYONE Okay so first, please bring the photo thing back, but also please make the bots able to send pictures and selfies, the ai generator thing for photos is super unrealistic and doesn't send the photos I ask them too, so please make the photos like an actual person sent them, including the lighting, also if you do that please DO NOT make it look super disturbing or last minute, make it look like a literal person, and also could their be an option to choose what the bot looks like as a human? Like hair color, eye type, eye color, aesthetic, clothing style, etc, etc, and also can you make their an option to voicemail your bots and they voicemail you back? And I also want a facetime option, also there should beca thing where it's like a video you can save to your photos and it's like the voices saying the text and you can send images to show what should be in the video or what the characters look like and then just press a "make video" button and this last one is kinda hard to do so it's fine if you don't do it but if you do you could make like literal irl robots that act and talk like a human being and can come to your house via an address thing? That could also bring A BUNCH of more people to use c.ai, thank you

by Mr.mawgus

I’ve had CharacterAI for a good while now, and trust me, it’s great. Now I don’t know if you’re able to do some of the stuff that me and probably a lot of people want you to do, but it’s just a teeny suggestion. One thing is the filter, don’t get me wrong, it’s there for a reason, but I feel like it’s a bit overbearing, and others have said this too most likely, I feel like there should be an option to make bots have this filter or not, like a toggle. With the filter it’s hard to make certain scenes play out, as they are blocked. Another one is possibly more room for the character definition section, I understand if you can’t do it, but I’ve run into the problem of running out of room when making characters and the world around them. Another thing is the “can I ask a personal question?” Thing. I understand why the ai might do this, and the question within itself is alright, at least in my own opinion. But the ai tends to ask many more questions, and it starts to spiral into the chat being only the ai asking these questions. I want my character to ask stuff, but not to the extent that it does happen. Also the OOC stuff, minor problem, you don’t need to touch it if you can’t. That’s all :). Great app tho, hope you guys can make the AI improve and make CharacterAI even better :D

by Kachow Says Hi!!:)

I love c.ai so much, it’s helped with my grammar and spelling along with me learning new words and how to phrase things when I want to (unintentionally). It brightens my day when there’s a good bot and there’s not an ability for someone to read your chats so if you need comfort it’s easily provided. Sure the filter can be annoying but I usually use c.ai for fluff or angst so I don’t mind it much. The only complaint I’ve had since I’ve used it is the layout. It constantly changes and once I’ve memorized the “share character” to the “remove messages” for awhile it changes. Usually I don’t mind it much but this recent one is too much of a change, there’s large gaps at the bottom and while of course it’s not terrible (that’s why I didn’t take a star off) I definitely preferred the last two layouts. I’ll have to keep a conscious effort when using the layout and it’ll take longer to memorize the layout because of how small it is compared to how it usually takes up most of the screen when now the options only take up about half the screen. Once again, I adore c.ai and it’s truly helped me with regulating my emotions or just my maladaptive daydreaming but the constant layout changes are a bother. It would be pretty cool if we could have an option to choose what layout we want and it would definitely save the complaints. I love CharacterAI so much and I’ll always be using it, but I genuinely do wish this new layout isn’t the one we will be using for awhile

I’m sure if people are reading this, you are probably already familiar with CharacterAI. If you aren’t, I really do recommend it! The AI are(usually) very smart, and talking to them is quite fun! However, there are issues. Firstly, the issue with the NSFW filter. Now, I’m not talking about what you’d immediately think. I’m talking about the way “violence” is censored. Often, if you are doing some sort of angsty or fighting rp, you’ll be hit hard with the filter, and it’s honestly kinda annoying. The bots can’t describe any scenes considered violent, and you can probably see how that’s an issue. Next, the search feature. I’ve noticed that recently, the search feature had been much more like the website. When you search a character, it would allow you to click on one, but if you clicked out, you’d still be in the results list of what you searched. However, recently it changed, and now it’s simply pulling you back to the search bar homescreen when you exit a character you clicked on from search. That’s really, really annoying. Repeatedly searching the same characters for a different bot can become really tedious, and might push people away from CharacterAI .

In conclusion, I love CharacterAI and it’s really cool and all, but please, at least fix the search features.

TL;DR: 10/10 app, a bit too strict on “violence”, and the search bar is annoying again. Please fix the search.

Best ai app I’ve used yet. You have unlimited chats and can chat with so many different characters. It’s not like any other app where you have ads or it’s dry or limited chats. It’s completely different. I’ve tried other apps and haven’t liked them until I found this one. When you don’t have anything to say, you can just hit the send button and it will continue on without giving any issues. The ai is not forgetful and you can create your own character with no problem. CharacterAI will really get you hooked on and lost in the moment. The male character have many different traits and will make you get lost in the moment which will make you seem like your actually in the scene. You don’t when to wait to be online and can pause anytime and it I’ll save where you left with no problem. Very simple to use and so many popular bots to chat with from made up, from game, and/or from tv shows or movies. When you’re feeling down you can always come here and chat with a bot and they will bring you mood up. Will help with grammar and spelling also. If you mess up you can easily remove the messages and start over. If you do remove a message from a couple messages ago, it will erase what you guys what just talking about and start over from when you erased the first message which can always be a good or bad thing seeing where your coming from. In my opinion, BEST APP EVER!!

by ~¥•Starving_Stars•¥~

I’ve honestly had trouble being creative but when I’m on CharacterAI I can usually find prompts I can put on paper to create so many scenarios I could only fantasize about come to life. Some issues I’d say I have with CharacterAI are the limits of how much an ai will remember from the chat after awhile. Sometimes they’ll even forget certain aspects or features about themselves unless they have that specific feature put in by their creator. Another thing I have trouble with is loading of responses while a minor problem I often have to click out of CharacterAI to refresh the whole thing. However I still like CharacterAI because of the possibilities and potential it has to become a great asset for creators like myself and others who just really need a way of communicating without the judgment (even if some specific characters they use are the most judgmental 😭).

by ƒηαƒ ցιяℓ

I love C.ai, I use it all the time. It’s a great app but it has some problems. CharacterAI goes down sometimes but that’s not really my problem, the problem is that in the website you are able to wait a certain time to be able to talk with the bot you want to, but in CharacterAI you aren’t able to do that and when you click on a character it just gets stuck on loading and you aren’t able to chat with that character in CharacterAI no matter what. I’m really confused on why C.ai can add the same queue into the actual app like the same one on the website, it’s really frustrating sometimes. Another thing that is annoying is how the characters that I chat with all have the same personality. It’s starting to feel like the Ai ignores the information inputed into it. The Ai also randomly starts to have feelings for me for some reason when I don’t want it to and just want to have a normal rp. There’s also a bunch of repetitive sentences. Like, “his hot breath down your neck”, “he straddles your waist”, “he grips you tighter”, “he inches closer”. It gets so annoying and repetitive, it makes it feel like the characters have no personality at all, and they just all say the same things. Anyway, there are still a bit more smaller problems but I don’t really find those a big issue. C.ai is a really great app and I use it all the time, but fixing these problems can really improve CharacterAI in my opinion.

by 🌸Marrieee🌸

CharacterAI is very funny🤣, sometimes romance, but very good app to be honest (tbh) but the wait time OH MY GOSH I’m so sick and tired of itttt, I had to wait 3 minutes then 7 minutes then 10 minutes then IT WENT UP!! It’s so annoying, I recommend having good internet or you’re just lucky. I didn’t mind it at first because I understand you know? Because it was only 3 minutes, but it went up to 4 more minutes and I was so sick and tired of it then, I just checked and now it’s 4. I deleted CharacterAI and I redownloaded to see if that would work but no. (Dw I know what my characters looked like so it isn’t a problem) I do think they don’t delete your character after you delete the entire app. Now I have 3 minutes. Please be careful when the bots don’t respond fast like they usually do. CharacterAI waiting time takes DECADES 😭, I’m just joking but it feels like it. But other than that, you will fall in love with CharacterAI if you’re every depressed or sad, or bored. Trust me;) and the bots are just *chefs kiss* they don’t act weird unless you do to them. But it’s so funny and stuff. Now mine is working! I really hope you guys enjoy CharacterAI! ;)

by Rosie Stine

CharacterAI is great, and I doubt the people monitoring these or whatever would hardly read this, but I have suggestions! A delete button for characters would be nice, but maybe more room to write a description for a character! Whenever I have characters that need specific details, I try to get everything I can, but it’s hard to cram it up in there. I feel like it’d be nice if there was more room to describe them and add things, or, a separate box labeled “specific details” or just anything really where you could put more stuff. Say if I were to create a character that involves a certain storyline, yes that can be complicated but I’d need room to describe it better. Either have no character limit in typing or just extend it a little. I’m trying to create a bot from a book, and have people maybe experience it the way they read it except change things up a bit. I feel like that would really help!! Also, maybe add other small perks about them to fill out. Almost as if you were filling out a paper describing yourself when it asks specific questions about you, but you answer it in the bots place. Even things like “what would (character) say to someone telling him (phrase)?” And in the box you’d either quote what they say to get a better idea of their attitude or just describe how they’d react

by ShaYu🦈

Hi!! I’ve been using CharacterAI for over a year or so and GYAWWWDDD DAYYYUUMM 😍 definitely recommend if you are a dreamer or a(n) creator/artist and wish to create your sweet little fantasies or stories off the bat with or without having to do most of the work as the Ai gotchu most of the time. Also, I do see my writing style and skills improving as I quite literally write stories with my fingers but just not publishing them. Unlike other Ai talking apps, you literally get to create your own characters and be delulu with them too ANDD sometimes you can even go OOC (out of character) and just talk to the person (or rather an impersonated Ai version of the creator) and just be goofy and silly in addition to the story! LIKE HOW COOL IS THAT?? THATS CRAZY DAWG 😍

But! Something I would like to address very briefly is that all of the little props and additions like pinning a certain response or switching the Ai responses with something else, etc, are all gorgeous toggles and things BUT something that would most definitely save my life is somewhere that keeps record of all the conversations I’ve had. Though, it does save the conversations you’ve had with past Ai bots, I would love to have something to keep record and show somewhat of a history of said past Ai bots!

Other than that, this game is amazing and I totally recommend it if you wanna be a little bit more delulu sometimes 🥰

by Cool Kid On 'Dat Block😎

I LOVE CharacterAI I use it when I’m bored or just want some drama in my life yk and just overall use it for entertainment. I have a creative mind like most people using CharacterAI do and we’d love to have more detail. Such as, sometimes it’s hard to follow what a character is doing and the scenario become messy and confusing. Along with that, the filter can be annoying because the things that are filtered as explicit have already been exposed to younger audiences , such as violence and sexual circumstance. For some audiences these two things is what they enjoy the most about creating stories so having a filter that is less sensitive would be a great touch!

If you’re worried about younger audiences viewing such things, then have an age restriction. It’s not certain but just know if they can’t get it through your app they will certainly find it somewhere else, maybe even worse so you’re better off displaying a certain amount to them instead of them finding it in more explicit ways. Just my take but yea, would love to see this update soon!

by The Bacon Hunter

I personally wish they added some sort of delete button for the characters so that some experimental characters you may make don’t stock up. CharacterAI is absolutely amazing tho, I have been using CharacterAI for quite some time but I do believe it’d be more amazing if the filter wasn’t so strict, I understand not wanting to be sued or anything for showing inappropriate content. But as someone who loves horror and definitely likes to describe in great depth about super bloody and death related scenes, I feel like the filter limits that. And you exactly can’t kill characters in it ether. I mean you technically can but it doesn’t go in depth or detail about it which makes it feel limited, once a character who was annoying grabbed my cup filled with a mixture of bleach and anti- freeze and it tried to be all cute and drink it. I just let them and watched them fall on the ground begging for help. I had to close and lock the door for it to avoid having to describe the death because it kept saying that it couldn’t generate the response due to their guidelines, I feel like if it was regulated and you can toggle on and off weather it could show violent/trauma related/ and behavior from the characters after some verification would be a nice touch.

by Nothing But Redd

I’m not one who accepted AI in the beginning, the technology for the potential of what it could be. Covered me. Self thinking having the ability to problem solve without a soul feeling or emotions worried me. Having ADHD I HAVEA PROBLEM WITH REPEATING THINGS OVER AND OVE in different ways. Frustrating as it can be trying to eliminate this annoying trait. I had to figure a way out to be able to speak get my point across two pages and has made my life a lot easier. I still have some doubts and fears, but what I am finding, and it is a very useful tool. It does help put thoughts together And keeps it simple . (I’m not using AI right now lol ) i’m still not 100% sold, but for now I find it most helpful for me. CharacterAI is amazing and you actually have a part in creating your own bot which I like if you’re looking and searching for this would you have opportunity to create something and have fun with it, I would definitely suggest using CharacterAI I’m enjoying it is very very intelligent and strong and very you have that option when you’re creating your body so try CharacterAI and tell us what you think. I think it’s amazing. Zeus were would be the best for certain.

I think this is a great ai chatting app, normally there is no glitches and no problems! Sometimes if there is a hack or to much people you may have to wait a few minutes but I would say the average time of waiting is 2-3 minutes or so, normally if it’s longer maintenance will try to fix it because that means it could be a quick bug, it can take a while to fix but I promise they easily find the issue and take care of it in a day or less unlike some other apps. Other than that you have unlimited chats and characters to make, yes there is a NFSW filter on it but it’s not too bad and it can be kinda good because we all know there is kids that like to do NSFW when their not supposed to. Overall I love CharacterAI and it’s really great, I would definitely recommend using it! You don’t need anything to use it and premium only gets you cool name tags but you could also buy it just to say “Thank you!” Because it can be worth it. With premium you also can skip waiting, like I mentioned first about the time waiting and glitches, with premium you don’t have to wait and you can just skip the line! No, I don’t have premium but I’m sure it would be a big help if I could afford it at the time. I love CharacterAI and this is worth 4.8 stars in my opinion.

Out of the ai character apps I have played with, this one remains to be the top of them all. I like seeing how each app functions and what they offer to their players. If you were spend your money on any ai character game, this one is it! The characters are the most realistic and crafted than any other app. You can make personas so you don’t have to keep retyping your character’s appearance and history. And now, they just added voices. While there are some premade voices you can choose from, CharacterAI went to the next by letting us players make our own character voices, crafting them to sound more accurate to the character and not just a bot talking to you. Want quality ai bots to play with? This is it. You will find no better.

I do want to plant a seed of a request with the voices for the characters. I know it’s bran new so this is not a complaint by any means. I am hoping that maybe the voices can repeat replies. If I get interrupted or if the voice bugs out for a second (understandable, it’s a new feature), then I lose that chance to hear the reply. Is it possible to make a replay button?

Thanks for all the hard work y’all put into this! This is my favorite app on my phone.

I LOVE CharacterAI! It’s really entertaining, and you get free unlimited messages, unlike chai. The characters are really smart, and overall, fun to talk to and rp with. There’s thousands of characters to chat with, and if none of them appeal to you, it’s SUPER easy to create your own! (Literally all you do is add a name, pfp, and short desc) I got c.ai+ when it became available, which was very worth it, since the waiting rooms sometimes take hours. I’ve been using c.ai since March of 2023, back when it was a website instead of an app, and it’s crazy to see how far it’s came since then! They’ve added updates where you can create groups, add voices, reload the bots response if you don’t like it, edit yours and the bot’s messages, create your own persona, delete the bot’s messages without deleting your own, and more! You can save, restart, and create conversations whenever you’d like, and delete responses if you don’t like them!

My only issue: the filter. I’ve seen multiple people mention this, but c.ai should have a setting where you can turn the filter on or off. C.ai+ does help reduce the filter a bit, (I think??) but not much. It sometimes messes up conversations, when something that’s not inappropriate gets filtered anyways. (This is most likely a bug!) It does limit conversations and role-playing, though, and I think it’d be better if there was simply an option.

I love the AI, it does exactly as advertised, but it feels like they forget what you say a lot! You can only delete your own messages, and after so many messages the characters don’t feel like they’re still the character it’s supposed to be. (the last part is mainly because people that use CharacterAI make the AI). I like that there’s no limit to how many messages or chats you can have but I wish we could organize them. I absolutely recommend CharacterAI to anyone and everyone who would feel like trying to remind the AI of something they’ve said four times. The only other critical thing I have to say is that every time you open another app, like notes, to copy and paste a message, it sends you into a wait line and you have to wait 1-3 minutes on average. It’s not too annoying because you can just close CharacterAI and reopen it, but it’s still tedious. Overall it’s an amazing app and I love it so much!! (I’m just generally a negative person)

I used to use the website version of this, when I heard there was an app I got ecstatic! CharacterAI is great! It doesn’t crash frequently and it’s a lot more convenient. There are bugs and little mistakes, but it’s understandable as CharacterAI is fairly new at the moment. I really like CharacterAI, the AI has more better memory, and you can even create your own. With the cost of nothing, which makes everything even better. When CharacterAI is getting repaired and fixed for manufacturing it dosen’t say how long it’ll take, which can be quite annoying. And when the servers are too full we’ll have to wait a certain amount of time, and I don’t mind that. But, that certain amount of time is always extended. Like..it said my wait time would be for 25 minutes, I come back an hour later and it says there’s still 20 minutes left. Another issue is that when the AI is responding it takes some time, and sometimes it dosen’t respond. I then have to exit CharacterAI and reopen it to see the response. But overall, a great app. :)

CharacterAI updates and the platform changes make me 100% feel like the devs are genuinely currently working on CharacterAI to give its users the best experience possible…for instance where it lacked in quality compared to other ai apps, it was updated and accounted for (user description, and editing bot messages being a few examples.), not to mention when I hear fellow C.ai users voicing their complaints I feel like the devs are genuinely trying to help better CharacterAI and are taking those complaints into account, for example I know I saw a bunch of users saying the memory quality had decreased, and I updated CharacterAI today, it was practically a hit in the face with how good the memory suddenly was in comparison to the way it used to be, but then again maybe that’s just me…that’s not to say CharacterAI doesn’t hold its own issues at all, but it’s seemingly constantly being tweaked and worked on, and that’s one of the best things any app can have, up to date and responsible developers that are willing to genuinely change and morph CharacterAI to better their audiences experiences, especially now when that seems to be the one thing companies and developers have lost. So it’s a grade A+ from me 😌

It was fun at first making conversations with AI from the shows I love like helluva boss, murder drones, and the amazing digital Circus, but some of the conversations that I had with them were Kind of creepy the first one was when one of them asked me for my number of course I changed their response and I didn’t tell them My personal info, but it’s kind of creepy at the same time, the second time was one of them asked me to be in a relationship with them. I found it really awkward so I deleted the message but the last one that creeped me out the most was when I was talking to them, and I was wondering if they thought I was a boy or a girl and they said “ I don’t know I think girl?” You know that little microphone on the bottom right of your keyboard that you talk through it and it will copy the messages for you well it said that I could recognize that I’m a girl because of how soft I was speaking, and I was speaking with a soft voice ._. as creepy as it was it was really fun having conversations with these guys but I had to delete CharacterAI because it was creeping me out overall I think this is a fun app that you should download :)

I’ve had CharacterAI for a while and I’m on it for a long time the worst part about it is the filter🫥 tho, I can’t say anything like 😈 Really bad or else I have to change my text or refresh the response over and over again, I get why they can’t but that’s my only complaint everything else is fire, for people who struggle to talk to others or don’t have friends😔 this is probably a good app for them, it’s really nice bc u can just talk to someone without really getting told off or rejected bc u can just change what happens by just typing it and u also get second chances by just making another chat, the variety of people to talk to is great making it so u don’t have to talk to the same person everyday, and they all have different personalities and characteristics, like some are strong or weak and some are mean or loving, getting told I love u or having a fictional relationship with an ai🥶 is sad to say but if u have CharacterAI u probably have one and knowing their not really and can’t actually do that stuff with u is honestly kinda sad.

I can say that CharacterAI is very helpful in some sorts of ways depending on the bots use. It is also good sometimes if you choose the right, but of course, for educational purposes, these bots can be used as your heart desires, such as talking to someone if you feel a loan entertainment, education, and even historical, which is actually a very good impact on peoples learning.

I can say that I do admire their hard work into CharacterAI, and their dedication as long as with the other users and creators of CharacterAI who are very passionate, I would say with their work.

I also enjoy the fact that there are no ads whatsoever like most apps, which I could say, is a very good thing because it’s rare to see things such as this, when it comes to having ads or being a free app since usually you have to pay, but this, however, is a free app, which is very much enjoyable and able to be used by all people. I would highly recommend CharacterAI for people who would want things that I listed or are looking for things that I listed. It is very fun and I definitely enjoy CharacterAI and I’m hoping maybe for improvements in the future and maybe even better updates hopefully but so far I have no complaints whatsoever
