Character AI: Chat, Talk, Text 17+

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 this app 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 love C.ai, I use it all the time. It’s a great app but it has some problems. The app 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 the app 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 the app 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 the app in my opinion.

I’m sure if people are reading this, you are probably already familiar with this app. 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 the app.

In conclusion, I love the app 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.
