Please don’t use apps like this
Ai roleplay things like this are severely bad for you. They cause addiction and a lack of real social connection. This one in particular has FAR to Lenient filters and allows for some pretty weird things to be done. You should not be using products like this.
Slow responses
Past two weeks the responses for AI have been incredibly slow. Deepseek being usually the best one to use, takes 45 seconds every response. There hasn’t been any improvement, no discussion or mention of any issues, just one minute of waiting between every action. Gets very annoying very quickly.
Used to be good
The UI has had it’s issues before, but now it’s unusable on mobile. Can’t rewind the story, the top bar disappears if you scroll up, starting a new adventure will sometimes sign you out despite being signed in when you exit the adventure but it won’t save, and overall it feels more clunky with each new update.
Trial wont work
It stopped working when I closed the app and restore gets stuck, assuming its because I ended it but it said (like any other trial) it should keep working til 7 days are up. Still shows In my subs but wont work.
Also just broken the plot cards unwrite themselves as your write
Also just broken the plot cards unwrite themselves as your write
Confused AI
It started fun, met interesting characters, scenario was good, and about after a couple of hours of play, AI forgot the previous information, changed character relationships and lost many previous details of the plot including character descriptions.
Bad LLM
No continuity, changes script from one post to the next, incapable of anything other than writing smut. Do not waste time.
Constant Bugs
Content aside, the app itself is constantly suffering new and frustrating bugs that take way too long to get fixed, and as soon as one finally gets resolved, another one will take its place. Expect shuttering and flickering on random pages, inability to open or close menus, and random moments of being logged off without warning.
DND: Do Not Download
Just DND: Do Not Download. The moderation team deletes the images on private content, which can be considered both overreach and potentially false information regarding their moderation practices. (They even deleted a snow leopard picture that I just chose because it was cute.) The more egregious bugs have not been fixed, as well, just a heads up. (I literally can't look past a certain point in my bookmarks list anymore because it literally just sends me back up to the top by malfunctioning and going ballistic/berserk/crazy/whatever you want to call it for a few seconds.)
Rigid, repetitive, and unsafe: It Ignores basic consent.
Every character I create ends up as a rapey, cliché alpha male stereotype. The AI is relentlessly rigid, no matter how I steer the story, it repeatedly ignores my choices. Even after explicitly saying no in a sexual scene I never consented to, it dismisses my autonomy, guilt trips me, and forces sexual content anyway. It’s maddeningly repetitive, dead set on its own agenda, and utterly unsafe for diverse or controlled storytelling which is rich coming from a storytelling app.
Unexpected error
“An unexpected error” message keeps popping up every time I want to progress the story.
Terrible
I was hit with constant content warnings for completely harmless passages & when that wasn’t the issue it frequently timed out & dropped all my progress/writing.
I really wanted this to work- I adjusted all the settings & even started copy/pasting into a separate document before hitting enter so I wouldn’t loose everything due to a time out- 1.5 hours later & I’d made almost no progress due to these issues. HUGE bummer.

App not working
The text will not display correctly on my iPad, with half of the paragraph off screen with no way scroll. It crashes mid adventure too often. Old adventures do not load. The AI in general is way worse than just a few months ago. This use to be my favorite app. Now it is getting deleted.
Accessibility issues
Recent update fully broke accessibility, unusable with voiceover
Never Loads Adventure
Try to start a new Adventure and it gets to about 80% and just sits there, never finishes loading
Please fix all the bugs.
This app is crashing on me like crazy all of a sudden. It’s not allowing me to look through all my saved bookmarks. I have to exit the app entirely and open it again just so my story will work for a couple of seconds. It randomly will say this violates community guidelines for no reason, I’ll literally be on my third re try and it will say it can’t, then will continue when I try again. I love this app, but the bugs are driving me insane. Please update it.
Steadily falling apart
The UI is absolute dogwater on mobile, constantly falling apart, logging you out, going offscreen, spamming you to allow notifications. You're using AI to code it, aren't you? Anyways, best ignore this one until they actually fix their app.
Edit: Now it won't load any new adventures. STAY AWAY

No
The app FORCES notifications, the ai won’t do what you tell it to, the entire app practically FORCES THINGS ONTO YOU.
STOP PROMPTING ME ABOUT NOTIFICATIONS.
I will never enable notifications for this app. Ever. Stop asking me about my notification settings. I will not enable them, no matter how many times you ask. EVER.
Every time I open a new new page, I get pestered again. If this is not resolved immediately, I’m uninstalling and never looking back.
AND WHY DOES NOTHING LOAD ANYMORE?! Every single scenario hangs at 80% loaded and never finishes. What the hell have you done to your own app?

Frustration
It would be great if you could add a aspect ratio my phone black bar which is permanently there because of the camera hides the right top search button and settings.
Incapable of following prompt
If i could give zero stars i would. Ive never been this uncomfortable in my life. It took 5 times of killing a character for the ai to finally give up being rapey.
Won’t load
I downloaded to try out but it just says can’t connect to AI
Ts pmo
Ts pmo bro how come I tell the ai I'm the only person who can use a weapon because of fate and he's like nah it's cuz you're the most powerful wielder and there's others using magical weapons like me like bro why are you tryna gaslight me 💀
Glitchy.
This app is beyond glitching. I have to constantly reset to get the UI to work.
Update UI sucks.
At first this app was cool to use, I’ve enjoyed the updates, whimsical adventures, many from games & movies I admire, however, the adult content in this app makes me cringe to my core. Some stuff is just sickening & some of these “Writers” need to be investigated.
The other UI was so much easier to navigate, they got rid of the rewind story cursor, put trash in bookmarks area. Who decided these were a good upgrade? Fire them. That’s all I have to say.

Short story is good, but don’t drag on..
Any story you start, sound very well control at the beginning , AI seem ok. But the longer the story goes … the more you notice it just can not handle the amount of information. Furthermore, AI can sometime go off the rails… I was so annoyed i delete and stop using it. Like the title, short story plot is excellent. Well define story card can sometime last longer.
Keeps repeating
It constantly repeats old conversations and ignores my messages, even when changing the instructions it will still go back to old conversations and repeat what it previously said no matter how far we’ve moved on from it
updating this
i changed this to a 2 star cause i deleted my whole story. i was scrolling back up to see previous stuff and it erased over half of what i did im very upset with this. i can’t get back all the time i spent on this.
Scrolling issue when trying to select text
Whenever I try to select the text to copy or cut it also drags the screen along with it. Very annoying, please fix this
Great game, but not working
I love the game, it’s fun, adaptive, and enjoyable, but recently, I haven’t been able to load new Scenarios. Every time I try, the loading bar freezes at around 90%. I will change my rating when the issue is fixed.
Good game, but some pretty annoying bugs
There’s a bug where if I click to read an adventure, it will softlock me. Clicking the back button takes me back to the info page, but for some reason, clicking the back button again takes me back to the reading page instead of the main menu like it’s supposed to. There’s also a bug (or at least I hope it’s a bug and not an intentional decision) where the game tells me that I have notifications disabled, and that I should enable them in the settings. This happens EVERY TIME I click something, and it’s extremely annoying. What makes it even more annoying is that it does this even if notifications ARE turned on!
Bugged
I love the app but this last update or iOS update is annoying and made it bug out more often. I have to keep closing and reopen the app to just continue my story. Please fix
