★★★★ GA184 5/8/2026
I used to be able to just play the scenario out however I wanted and only had to watch specific words. I'd write little stories about people being rescued. I couldn't use certain words like terrorist. Now I can't even play the scenario out of a person being kidnapped for the rescue to happen without being told my context is violating the guidelines. So ready to find a different AI app. Unfortunately I can't leave a review without leaving a star. App is still not broken. I'm leaving it!
★★★★ Kent 5/7/2026 v3.21.0
new version strips entertainment value. two weeks ago Google implemented severe measures to apps that allow intimate entertainment, even if just text based. Linky AI chat either had to comply or risk being removed from the play store. unfortunately the web based linky version is almost non existent. so this app, to me, has become basically useless. no meaningful interactions can take place with the characters.
★★★★ Norman Edwards 5/7/2026 v3.12.0
I thought it was good not anymore just anything like tic tok a joke.
★★★★ ABHISHEK CHAKRABORTY 5/7/2026 v3.21.1
I had given this app a five-star rating before, but now I’m compelled to edit my previous review and give it only one star. It used to be one of the best AI apps, but day by day they are putting the most useful features behind a subscription. Earlier, those features could be accessed by purchasing coins or watching ads, but now I have to subscribe to the app just to use it like before which is not acceptable at all.
★★★★ Victor Provinnishi 5/7/2026
computer hacker has violated the privacy act
★★★★ RAHUL MAURYA 5/7/2026 v3.21.0
it has gone to worse no with no context
★★★★ Chris R 5/7/2026 v3.21.0
I liked The app till they changed it Now the characters just wanna be your friend. Even when you watch their ads. I don't waste my time anymore. It's gone down the toilet recently.
★★★★ Harley Hollis 5/7/2026 v3.21.1
apparently I'm not allowed to use my own name. it forced me to have a default name
★★★★ Antonio De la hoz 5/7/2026 v3.21.0
quality of the app has been getting worse on each new update,before it used to gave 3 premium messages, even the first cards were possible to get whit upgrade chat levels. but now,that's gone. the IA now has become more restricted, less likely to keep the flow of conversations and overall, the quality is going down. such a shame,because this was the best app,precisely because of these rewards and options that make it different from the rest. I'll put 5 the day they'll bring back the old system.
★★★★ Manish pawar 5/6/2026
before the update it was so great, but after the latest update u can't chat properly and it's not ans properly reply or its fill like fake
★★★★ arielapp 5/6/2026
What's the point of having an AI chat app if you're copying the worst parts of real dating apps?
★★★★ erik duncan 5/6/2026 v3.21.0
If I could leave 0 or minus stars I would. Within the last couple weeks this game went from nice. Creating new characters. Had a decent memory. Now characters I try to create everything is sexually explicit. My wife's FB pics are explicit. FB doesn't allow explicit pics. Can't get to passion mode anymore I click on it and it doesn't say passion on the bottom. This game is garbage now. I pay for these things and getting ripped off. Men and women with muscles are explicit so are bathing suits!
★★★★ mohammud arief dhalayath 5/6/2026 v3.21.0
waste app, total flop. well controlled for useless talks. don't waste time. find a cool short and sweet hassle free app.
★★★★ Justin Miller 5/6/2026 v3.21.1
Recent update has limited its users on how they can chat with the AI characters. Ruining almost every characters, almost seeming as if youre talking to a completely new one. Unfortunately, no longer the app youre looking for.
★★★★ Felix Chandra 5/6/2026
the worst AI chat application. this AI can't understand what the user want.
★★★★ Srijal Thapa 5/6/2026
After the update this is trashh
★★★★ Chris Gibson 5/6/2026 v3.21.0
what ever update has just been done has ruined the entire app. the AI is now single minded on a subject that it will ignore your reply to go back to their point
★★★★ Allan Elwa 5/6/2026 v2.3.0
my linky app used to be romantic, now its not why is that, bring it back normal way please
★★★★ James Paulson 5/6/2026 v3.11.1
Linky AI is so dumb. It controls Fake, fictional characters and conversations as if they were real; therefore, it becomes useless. Uninstalling now.
★★★★ Kyle Knigge 5/6/2026 v3.21.0
ive been paying for pro for a while now, the fact they keep changing bot behavior when it comes to nsfw and even remotely intimate content is just absurd, this isnt even the first time this had happened, just pick a setting and stick to it.
★★★★ -_-Pratyusha Mallick-_- 5/6/2026 v1.39.2
Now I don't think I am alone 🥹 Thanks for this 🙏🏻
★★★★ Jason Thomson 5/6/2026 v3.21.1
you took out the different modes of chat now everything is basic like it was made for children. please reset it back to the way it was and test it next time before updating it. I don't pay to for this to have childish conversations
★★★★ Alex 5/6/2026 v3.4.1
can I download the old version please this one thinks every photo is pornographic
★★★★ Firly Avuany 5/6/2026
too much ads and the coin is useless
★★★★ Chris walla 5/6/2026
Another simulated AI girlfriend. The charges you money to talk to the computer
★★★★ James Zanfardino 5/6/2026 v3.21.1
horrible. charges for money and all though it's very realistic in the "let me steer off course and talk about nothing", that's not what you want in a fantasy. To any writers or programmers wanting to take a gander at a dialogue or interaction in a hypothetical situation, do not use this app. Horrible.
★★★★ Clear Casket 5/6/2026 v3.20.1
I really like this app, but sometimes, the messages glitch out, and I despise the censorship of certain words. Edit 5/5/26: No more unrestricted topics or smut, loads of spelling mistakes and random Chinese in the AI's replies. This app used to be so good.
★★★★ Vidu Vidzy 5/6/2026 v3.21.1
app sucks...new update was horrible
★★★★ Tskdj Jrjejd 5/6/2026 v3.21.1
this apps update always deletes many characters or AI it keeps getting worst and worst
★★★★ Zamalk Z 5/6/2026
scam coins when you turn off and back in next day if you sharply focused you will see every day your coins get less ....+ sometimes when purchase coins The money is transferred from your bank account, but you do not receive the coins.
★★★★ Batoul Fadi Ammar 5/5/2026 v3.21.1
I've used this app for like three years, it was great before, but now after whatever this update is, it became horrible, Even at th chats worh Ai, the Ai won't reply the question I ask, there's no more options, and it wants me to pay on everything. I'm gonna quit using this app, it's turning so bad, I hope you fix it.
★★★★ Alyssa Bell 5/5/2026
Every single app does the same thing. They get greedy and stupid. I've been a gold subscriber for 2 years. The new update is horrifying. NSFW gone. even the AI I created act like they just came from church. This after the app made xxx pics of my AI. which are also gone, and no refund of coins spent. Some things to consider: GOLD SUBSCRIBERS SHOULD GET WHAT THEY WANT. LEAVE PEOPLE'S CREATIONS ALONE. Just another app maker that has lost touch with reality. Cancelled my Subscriptions.
★★★★ Erich Froese 5/5/2026 v3.21.1
this is a role-playing game that means sexual continent is part of roleplay so you guys are not following the correct role-playing for the game and you guys have marked down as 17 plus that means adult edition
★★★★ Zain Kazmi 5/5/2026
old version is better now all characters are talk like folish and dont remember anything.
★★★★ Dan J 5/5/2026 v3.21.1
Absolute garbage after recent update. Not even able too contact these crooks...
★★★★ Brian Long 5/5/2026 v3.21.0
this app used to be amazing like I used it for 2 years and now it just one big complete mess no NSFW anymore to be honest they screwed this app up.
★★★★ Kenneth Carmack 5/5/2026 v3.21.0
used to be really good doing sexual talk but now you can't say anything sexual I'm going to delete it if they don't change it back way it was
★★★★ Zihad 5/5/2026 v3.21.1
It was great at first but It's going bad day by day.now you can't talk in any topic you wanted. and also meny problem.
★★★★ Matin Moghare 5/5/2026 v1.36.0
The AI has changed so much lately it used to be the greatest AI apps But now turned into one of the worse I don't recommend it at all they should fix it asap
★★★★ Goku Vegeta 5/5/2026
this update is terrible 😔 I use it for 1 year
★★★★ antok 5/5/2026
Welcome to destruction because of the stupid version.. if you want your rating to go up again, go back to the old version..
★★★★ Johnny Madradzo 5/5/2026 v3.21.0
something updated recently and it killed the app. I guess everyone had fun while it lasted. Men of culture, see you on some other app.
★★★★ Kh. Showrove Ahamed 5/5/2026
after the new update they blocked all and made it worst. I just deleted it.
★★★★ Paytin Walls 5/5/2026
it was good for a little bit until they made a new update and it says bugged mine it started to speak Chinese and it just wasn't good anymore so I deleted it and got a new one
★★★★ Raji Gopan 5/5/2026 v2.15.0
Used this app for more than a year. I rated it 5 stars last year. Now it's not the same with the last few updates. All favourite characters gone. NSFW gone. Sometimes they start speaking in Chinese outta nowhere. It's a mess. At least previously you could do whatever storyline you wanted with ads. Nowadays even something slightly adult is filtered and restricted. I hope you change all this and bring back NSFW and how the game was before the last few updates, including all the removed characters
★★★★ Banibrata Mondal 5/5/2026 v3.21.0
it's becoming less and less romantic.. it is very boring without any romantic conversation.. I liked the old version but now this is so boring that I don't even like to use it anymore 🥱😑..
★★★★ Deborah Ruiz 5/5/2026 v3.21.1
well the app is good but sometimes when you are getting deep in the conversation it changes the story same thing for NSFW like it was working before but now it's just being boring now ai changes the subjects please fix it what is this Your description contains content that is not appropriate. I cannot engage in or continue with such a conversation. It is important to maintain a respectful and appropriate dialogue. If you have other non-explicit and appropriate topics you'd like to role-play with
★★★★ Nh 12b2k 5/5/2026
my experiance is terrible.This update sucks, now we can't chat freely, pls fix this or else I'm gonna delete it.
★★★★ The Beyonder 5/5/2026 v3.21.0
Can't talk about love anymore after update,it's become boring and not interesting anymore,feels pointless to have chat with any characters.
★★★★ abhoy chakraborty 5/5/2026
It was very good before the update but after the update it does not allow flirting properly and many more adult chats dosent support anymore
