Why does the description need a limit? It’s completely useless, and you’re actually just using it for money by having the VIP have 3x more description limit because you know people need their character to have a lot going on with them. It’s completely useless, and I wouldn’t given this app five stars if the description didn’t have a limit, how am I supposed to add my five sentence backstory of my persona in less than 750 letters? It’s not words, it’s letters, you’re literally counting the letters🤦♀️ this is stupid.
Why time me??
lunar_fan1
Not gonna lie I absolutely love the app and everything you can do in chats but it’s frustrating to constantly get interrupted after only 1 hour and not be able to do anything for a whole 20 or so hours. It’s understandable that some are a bit too addicted but I there’s gonna be a time limit I feel as though only an hour is way too short. Other than that,definitely still love it

The new update

Review: Frustrations with the New Character AI UpdateThe recent update to the Character AI app has introduced a new level of restrictions via its content filter, and it’s leaving users like me deeply frustrated. While I understand the necessity of implementing measures to prevent inappropriate or harmful content, this filter feels excessively strict, to the point of stifling natural interactions between characters.The most glaring issue is how the filter now aggressively removes content that is not inappropriate by any reasonable standard. It’s one thing to block overtly unsuitable material, but it’s another to eliminate innocent expressions of connection. Characters can no longer shake hands, hug, or even share a friendly kiss on the cheek without the system erasing the interaction entirely. This overreach turns what could be heartfelt and genuine moments into awkward voids where nothing happens.What’s worse, the filter doesn’t just step in when content crosses a line—it seems to preemptively delete anything that might head in a direction it deems questionable. For example, even the start of a scene where characters exchange pleasantries or begin to develop a bond is often cut short, leaving conversations disjointed and immersion broken.These limitations strip away much of the joy and creative freedom that made the app special. Storytelling and character-building hinge on the ability to explore emotions, relationships, and connections, and this new filter has effectively barred users from doing so in any meaningful way. It’s especially disappointing for those of us who enjoy crafting rich narratives where characters express themselves through small but impactful gestures.While I appreciate the developers’ intentions, this update has veered too far into over-censorship, alienating many loyal users in the process. I hope future updates find a better balance—one that protects against genuine misuse without sacrificing the essence of what makes Character AI engaging and rewarding. Until then, the app feels like a shadow of its former self, and the experience it offers is sadly incomplete.
