User Reviews

Users generally praise Character AI for its broad roster of characters and engaging, canon-style conversations, and note it has been a long-standing favorite. However, most reviews converge on several major issues: intrusive ads and a pay-to-play model that locks features behind subscriptions; new age-verification requirements raising privacy and safety concerns; perceived decline in AI quality—repetitive, limited bot responses; removal of popular chat styles and the high cost to access newer ones; and ongoing moderation and policy changes that some users feel degrade the experience. Overall, the app’s appeal remains, but user satisfaction has dropped due to monetization and quality problems.

Pros

Rich roster of characters with engaging, canon-friendly chats
Longstanding app with years of use and loyal users
Ability to interact with famous figures and diverse characters
Strong storytelling depth in conversations

Cons

Intrusive ads and a pay-to-play model that locks features behind subscriptions
Age verification requirements raise privacy and safety concerns and can cause issues
Bots deliver repetitive, limited dialogue and lower quality responses
Removal of popular chat styles and high costs for newer or premium styles
Monetization changes and updates feel like paywalls rather than improvements

Why require 18+ verification just to do this? It’s never even about things like self harm or gore—I would get that a bit more. Otherwise, the memory is the best that I’ve seen! I hope the creators make the content filter optional, it would make it a great app.

I literally can no longer use your app because it says to verify my goddamn age, even when I want on PC to verify my goddamn age with a photo. Now I have to use Safari.
