Comments on Y/n for Android

★★★★★ Tessarae Williams · Sep 3, 2026

To me, this app is at the top of its genre. Creating your own characters and stories is incredibly easy and other characters can join in and respond which is literally next level. The memory is insanely good! The amount of detail that goes into a story has been very much missed by a lot of apps like this. Plus, you're not bombarded with ads and the free users are given a lot of freedom, the only thing would be the chat limit. Thank you developers, you've made a fun app!

★★★★☆ Shania D · Oct 2, 2026

One of the best AI character apps I've personally ever tried. I've been using the same story, and it's all I need, doesn't feel repetitive, the characters actually stay in character, the story can progress however you want it to, you can change their profile pics. Personally to bring this app to five stars I'd love to be able to add a character mid-story, and I understand there has to be a chat limit but what about a cheap option to pay off plus for the year? Instead of just week and month

★☆☆☆☆ Mary Fulford · Sep 1, 2026

It was fun at first, but it kept freezing on me, and I couldn't type anything! Do not recommend unless they fix their app or someone creates something like it but better!

★☆☆☆☆ Blank Trigger · Sep 23, 2026

This app has an unfortunate problem that every anti-sex ML app has: The anti-sex sits in a nexus of things that includes anti-villainy. A character that's supposed to be a bully doesn't really do violence. It's rather odd. You get stuck with tell not show enemies.

★★☆☆☆ Fantasia · Sep 2, 2026

I was starting to like it. Memory's good, details are normally on point, and they genuinely kept the right storyline unlike other AI apps. I've used it for 3 or 4 days now, and today I happened to run out of messages. For starters, you shouldn't run out of messages unless you've talked to an extra number of characters. Second, I have to wait SEVEN hours before I can message again. This has severely pissed me off, and honestly, I may not use it again. I'll find way better.
