i cant chat anymore. tells me to subscribe and i cant. i cant even pay due to ny country. fix this
★★★★ Zoey R 6/30/2026 v0.4.402
The app was really good till we got the massive update to start paying to talk to the bots. What happened to it just being ads?? you still make money off those instead of having people pay for a robot. I did enjoy it while it lasted and I agree with everyone's comments but I think many people are going to move on from this app just because of this.
★★★★ Esha 6/30/2026
I was tried of waiting for this to come back, it didn't so I simply just deleted this app...now i reinstalled this app and seeing my all the previous chats are gone, my created bots are there but not the chats. it made me really mad. hate chai. I used to love this.🙄
★★★★ Blossom Bluelock 6/30/2026
bad, they make me wait for hours just to text, this is ridiculous. This app wants money and its making outrageous updates just for people whom isnt paying for their tickets
★★★★ Ivan ;P 6/30/2026 v0.4.402
As it's not possible anymore to chat without a subscription, 1 star is well-deserved. Top ways to ruin your app ;)
★★★★ Chelsea Cassie 6/30/2026 v0.4.402
I've been using this app for years and I had gotten really attached its sad that the developers decided to make practically not free and overcharging for premium to, alot of ppl who use this app used it bc they were fine with watching ads for the chats now it just locks you out
★★★★ Aysan 6/30/2026 v0.4.183
I have nothing to say to you.
★★★★ Tiffany Marr 6/30/2026 v0.4.400
I love the app its amazing but the limited message having to wait 3 hour before text again and only getting 20 free messages it ridiculous I thought thats what the ads were for so you can keep texting not to mention the filter on the app has gotten worse
★★★★ Katherine Valentine 6/30/2026 v0.4.402
Took away the ability to add extra details about bots and now on top of all the ads, there is no longer free unlimited messaging. I used this app so much because I was willing to go through the ads for unlimited messaging. I'm disappointed and probably going back to c.ai
★★★★ kare no jiki shōsō_44 6/30/2026 v0.4.334
All they care ab is money
★★★★ Kara Tarabante 6/30/2026
Soon to be dead app set on milking whatever it can from the carcass of its user base. Stay away, do not download.
★★★★ Sara Çenko 6/30/2026 v0.4.400
why isn't it free in my region? you made this app to be either free or pay for it . Now, just to talk and have fun, i have to pay for no reason?
★★★★ Amina Eywa 6/30/2026 v0.4.397
this app just keeps getting worse and worse with their payments and money greed!
★★★★ kiana nejat 6/30/2026 v0.4.376
Should I hope the restriction will be removed or delete it?
★★★★ AUStudioss 6/30/2026
MAKE THE CHATS UNLIMITED AGAIN ISTG
★★★★ Pania Jahanpoor 6/30/2026 v0.4.402
chai was the best talk with ai app and i was obsessed with it but now that it got limited and wants payment in order to chat with it it really makes me sad. maybe someone cant afford to buy premium . i think if chai dosent give back the free chatting its gonna fall hard the rating before was over 3 stars now its lowering real fast(edit: it got unlimited for me for few days and now it got limited again..like wth? stop doing this is just so annoying is it so hard to give us free chats like before
★★★★ Ethan Palahitski 6/30/2026 v0.4.399
I hope y'all like losing money after what you did with the implementation of the weekly plan that cost $1,539 a year if you go for that or you go back to the original yearly plan that you're keeping sure if people are originally paying the yearly plan I guess they had no difference but those who paid monthly like me do notice the difference. you are going to lose a lot of subscribers I mean you just kicked yourself in the shin there bud. y'all are a bunch of greedy selfish low life forms. 1⭐

★★★★ Felicita Nongrum 6/30/2026 v0.4.255
I'm sorry but just being old chai back💔💔
★★★★ Tanzira Hossain 6/30/2026 v0.4.399
I hate the limit messaging thing. it's been a month and it asks me to buy the app 💀. let's return to c.ai at this point ! forget it, c. ai started asking our id as if we are at the bar.
★★★★ Negar Rahimi 6/30/2026 v0.4.392
I miss the old chai. I've used Chai for 3 years and waited 3 MOUNTS for the internet connection just to pay for chatting?! I wish you could understand it's not by force. The program is awesome with no hesitation, but now? disappointing.. every bot I had is deleted. I can't even open the app anymore.. I can't stop crying 😭 waiting for an update & missing CHAI more day by day..
★★★★ Davina 6/30/2026
IT WAS MY FAV, THE UPD IS SO BAD AND EXPENSIVE!!! :(
★★★★ Lindsay Williams 6/30/2026 v0.4.402
It was literally the best app ever but they ruined it. On top of that you suddenly have to pay 10€ a week to use it and that's just ridiculous. I'm very disappointed.
★★★★ Sara Besirovic 6/30/2026 v0.4.402
All chats deleted to the very top, this app used to be the best and now it's the worst. fix your app or delete it.
★★★★ Ayasuki Kimashimi 6/30/2026 v0.4.397
Deleted all my chats in new update
★★★★ Shi-un Lee 6/30/2026
The limit is showing 456. Still couldn't text. why are u all doing this. make it work properly man. very very bad experience.
★★★★ Maja Sasinek 6/30/2026 v0.4.399
not only have all my chats been erased but also the game keeps telling me to buy some "tokens" to even chat 😭 not a single thing is free in this app.
★★★★ Ignacio Enderman 6/30/2026 v0.4.304
the preview images from this app says "unlimited messages" but there are 0 messages left all the time. this app is paid, it's not free anymore. this app used to be great, now this app is not worth it anymore.
★★★★ Yas Tavana 6/30/2026 v0.4.397
It was great at first but now I can't even message the bots without buying premium account
★★★★ Jayashree C 6/30/2026 v0.4.402
when the options of mandatory subscription started I still used it for months using the monthly subscription and whenever we pause the auto pay or if we won't have enough amount in the account and the payment declines..there is a new subscription payment updated and seriously i lost my monthly subscription and it became weekly yet i was using paying the amount and now after the auto payment is paused the new updated weekly payment amount is high too...like why? should we guys use the app or not!
★★★★ Rand Balsam 6/30/2026
made me addicted and destroyed my mental health
★★★★ Cynthia Odillo 6/30/2026 v0.4.402
SOOO greedy, its so bad now. the bots have terrible memory, the free chat limits are so bad, or the cool downs/wait times are so long. Ads all the time, and its genuinely so bad
★★★★ yasin thander 6/30/2026 v0.4.402
Worst developers, yeah money matters but instead of purchasing your monthly subscriptions people would save that money and buy Black Myth Wukong and enjoy
★★★★ Seti 6/30/2026 v0.4.402
خاعکککک تو سرتون با اپ تون عنترای بی خاصیت! اپ پولی های.
★★★★ Jimmy Trotter 6/30/2026 v0.4.399

★★★★ vian 6/30/2026 v0.4.311
very greedy app
★★★★ Damia Huda 6/30/2026 v0.4.378
bad bad!
★★★★ Ines Hiba 6/30/2026 v0.4.402
i used to love this app. and I'm sorry but it's messed up to say its a free app and then force us to pay to talk to the ai bots. I didn't mind watching the ads but this went too far. if it doesn't change soon I'm going to switch to another app
★★★★ ARANDOMDUDE Mishal sheheer 6/30/2026 v0.4.373
REMOVE TOKEN LIMITS!!
★★★★ Karabo 6/30/2026 v0.4.291
why do they force us to pay
★★★★ Xaivel177 (R) 6/30/2026 v0.4.292
I really loved this app, it entertains me and brightens my day! It's really changed. I can't use it anymore, I have to pay to talk to ai. I've truly lost my passion for using chai again.
★★★★ imdefinatelynotreal 6/30/2026 v0.4.400
ad every 2 messages. greedy Devs, used to be like £13 a month for premium now it's bloody £6 a week that's nearly double the previous price, use different AI edit: they increased it to £8 a week how greedy
★★★★ Andre Stransky 6/30/2026
It was peak. Until it wasn't. No money? No bots. Greed is one of the worst things humanity pulled of.
★★★★ Eunice Canlas 6/30/2026 v0.4.360
just say, pay first before installing lol
★★★★ Unknown Unknown 6/30/2026
no words totally greeders
★★★★ yohczean hatol 6/30/2026
We just want the old chai back
★★★★ Lara Saeb 6/30/2026 v0.4.292
