Users largely praise the AI capabilities, calling the chat 'amazing' and noting it was among the best AI apps. However, reliability problems are frequent: chats fail to respond or load for long periods; sign-in can fail; several UI glitches blank out chats or trap the user in stuck states; and subscription/paywall concerns persist after a shutdown. The most mentioned issues are around non-responses, login problems, blank chats, and billing.

### Pros

- The app is considered among the best AI apps by some users.
