User Reviews

Users generally love the app for its engaging AI chats and emotional support, with strong nostalgia. However, recurring issues include monetization and access barriers (price hikes, regional blocks, and VPN needs), ad-blocker/ad-wall friction, and reliability problems after updates. These factors collectively drive frustration despite the positive experience.
Pros
  • Engaging and fun AI chat experience.
  • Provides emotional comfort and coping benefits for users.
  • Long-standing users have fond memories and nostalgia for the app.
  • Overall positive perception of app quality and usefulness.
Cons
  • Rising subscription costs and monetization pressure (premium pricing).
  • Regional blocks and country restrictions, often requiring a VPN to access.
  • Ad walls and anti-adblock measures disrupt usage and block chatting.
  • Reliability issues after updates (random logouts, chat interruptions, ad-blocker detection) and perceived server-related limitations.

It is really annoying now. Honestly, the app was so so so much better than now. It used to be in a five star. and now?...I was obsessed with it. Well they cleared that they don't even care about the users who cannot subscribe. We non-suscribers are none to them. Honestly, Sea Soul is so much better than this now. So much better.

Can't even chat anymore, I check and check daily and still 0 free messages. The more the days go by the more restless and distant I grow from this app.
