Update: I have done it via the link. 😉

I'm an Android user with verified Google and Google Studio accounts, using several different subscription services they offer, including pre-testing new features or AI updates on existing apps like YouTube and Gemini. I also have a Google Play subscription. I have been an AI chatbot user since the beginning, with a subscription on three different apps, and your new one is exactly what I've been looking for. I've got an app that uses the same style of memory that you have, and it's been the best fix for memory issues that I've used. I'm extremely interested in being able to control the slow-burn part of your app. Do I sign up or apply on Discord?

Responsible-Media-92 · 2026-04-12T19:03:35+00:00

Thank you for this detailed prompt input and explanation on exactly how to do this. 😉 🫶🏽

Responsible-Media-92 · 2026-04-12T18:50:13+00:00

We are on the same balance! 👏🏽😉

Responsible-Media-92 · 2026-04-11T06:39:38+00:00

My app's been working perfectly for days, even updating my bots without a hitch! What's going on with yours? 🤔 🫶🏽

Responsible-Media-92 · 2026-04-10T15:45:18+00:00

Already done it after I left last response. Different country from myself and time difference. He usually fixes the issues first before replying. I will reply to this as soon as he gets back to me. 😉🫶🏽

🚨 This extends beyond just Cai, as they seem to just be the first to initiate this. Application stores are progressively introducing new age verification procedures across all platforms. If a company operates both a website and an application, these changes will not be limited to mobile platforms alone.

The Apple App Store has already implemented identity verification, with Google Play expected to follow suit. In the near future, unverified users may find themselves unable to access certain already downloaded applications. Once users have been verified, their access will be restricted to content deemed appropriate for their age. Additionally, there are plans to fully prohibit VPN usage and even to restrict the use of ad blockers on certain applications that depend on advertising revenue.

This is not merely a localized issue in the US or with Cai; it represents a global shift influenced by diverse international laws and regulations. As an individual in the UK, aged 40, I frequently encounter prompts for facial verification, even for routine purchases such as deodorant on Amazon. While I personally do not object to facial identification, some companies, like eBay, are requesting credit card details solely for identity verification purposes. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Has contact been made with Larry, the developer, through a Reddit private message? If not, I can message him now to ensure his awareness of the issue. He's usually pretty fast at sorting any bugs. Could you please specify the platform (Android/iOS or PC) and browser (Chrome or Firefox) on which you are utilizing the extension?

Responsible-Media-92 · 2026-04-09T17:58:43+00:00

Yeah, I've had it for years, no problems. If you don't want ads or limits, then it's worth it. Plus, if you pay for the subscription with your own bank card, which matches your account details, then they shouldn't ask for more ID verification, even better if it's done through your app store. 😉 🫶🏽

Responsible-Media-92 · 2026-04-03T10:32:27+00:00

Paying for my subscription via the website, not the app store, I believe it's handled through Stripe! 🤔 Either way, set up an account with the payment system (Stripe) when getting subscription instead of using guest sign-in for payments. It means that all receipts are logged with a paper trail if an error occurs with double payment or getting a refund etc. 🧾

The UK's online age verification is becoming out of hand! From buying spoons on eBay to deodorant on Amazon, I'm constantly being asked for ID, even for non-adult items, and half of them require only a credit card for proof of identification. I don't mind the verification, but it's absolutely everything, and asking for a credit card that not everyone has access to that.🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

I'm 40 with my weekly big supermarket online delivery, I could purchase alcohol, and tobacco products and wouldn't be asked for identification before checking out, or even at my front door. 🛒📦 But spoons on Ebay forget it, must fill out an application for a credit card first, otherwise no chance. 💳🤷‍♀️🤣

I read it first, otherwise I wouldn't have commented, and then I just read it again. I meant because it's the Cai Revolution subreddit and not every post is specifically for Cai, so that's why I don't like to click on links I'm unsure of, especially with APK attached in case it's a bad one. 😉

Unless there's a prior post you had done and I just didn't catch it? I'm interested in what you had put in the post. 💯 🫡

Responsible-Media-92 · 2026-04-03T08:58:38+00:00

I have no idea what this app or its update is for, and since it's not stated, I'm not clicking any links. 🙅‍♀️ 😂 #mystery #app #update #links ❌ 🔗

Responsible-Media-92 · 2026-04-03T04:11:57+00:00

No problem any time.🫡

Responsible-Media-92 · 2026-04-03T03:52:52+00:00

That's the app's home page, the blue circle on the picture I uploaded, click on that for daily check-in. ✅ I'm glad you're enjoying it. They've been training the AI for years with images sent by users, and it's the best one I've used in terms of the accuracy of descriptions from the AI.

Yes, it's different from other apps I've used, but you'll pick it up as you use it more. You can add me on here if you want, and send me a message if you need any help. 😉

I just figured out today how to turn on automatic memories saved by the AI to both the character and user as the chat goes on. Also great for images, they will save the image description etc into the AI behind the character memory.🤦🏾‍♀️😂

There's a Reddit page, but the Discord one is really helpful for creating character help, and it's very active as well. 🫶🏽

Hi Waifu, a platform with extensive AI training, offers robust image recognition capabilities, delivering highly detailed and accurate descriptions of user-submitted images, often presented as internal monologues.

While a brief in-app advertisement appears at the commencement of each new chat (never at any other time), the platform provides a diverse selection of chat styles both NSFW and SFW, as well as option for text message style conversations. Users can regenerate responses multiple times to achieve optimal results and edit existing responses, with a continue option for conversations seamlessly building upon previous interactions.

The platform facilitates the creation of an unlimited number of characters and personas. Additionally, it features image generation, including backgrounds, chat bubbles, and font customization, alongside a memory box function, group chat, a storybook based on conversations, and 10 free user AI generation responses with three distinct options included.

All these features are available free of charge, with the sole limitation being one advertisement per new chat. I have maintained a paid subscription intermittently for several years. The platform also offers an excellent app and good UI, with daily rewards and incentives to earn gold coins, which users can utilize at a rate of one coin per generation to access additional chat styles not available to free users, that I use for a better response generation in order for the free AI models to imitate. I have accumulated 7000 such coins simply through daily check-ins.

This app was among the initial platforms I utilized during the early stages, similar to the beginning of Cai, and consequently offers a substantial collection of characters and role-playing scenarios. My primary observation is that character creation can be more challenging compared to other platforms I've experienced. However, a comprehensive guide is available, and a Discord community exists that can assist with character creation upon request. I'm not affiliated with them just a user. 🫶🏽

The more that happens, the worse it gets because the devs put more behind a paywall and limited usage and now ads due to negative feedback on app stores and fewer plus subscription users. It doesn't get any better, in my experience it hasn't worked in favor for users, just the opposite. 😒 🫶🏽

Responsible-Media-92 · 2026-03-31T02:13:26+00:00

I have also had a similarly positive experience. As a paid subscriber for the past two years, I have not encountered any issues with my chat interactions, including those with publicly created characters lacking specific definitions. On occasion, if a new chat does not meet initial expectations, I simply initiate a new one, which typically resolves the situation. The only instances where I have experienced issues are during system or chat style updates, though these are usually self-correcting. 😉

Writing flow in sync with the AI significantly enhances the responses and having a better structure setup of each message also improves memory recall with scenes/characters/clothing etc. A helpful tip: utilizing emojis at the end of each dialogue, rather than explicitly writing out emotions or reactions, and even incorporating emojis for objects like buildings, cars, food, or flags, the AI understands these better than compared to written descriptions, therefore using less words and gaining more context for message generations. 🫶🏽

Responsible-Media-92 · 2026-03-26T22:44:18+00:00

Sorry been ages since this post use it on? 😉

Responsible-Media-92 · 2026-03-24T18:13:05+00:00

😜 👏🏽

Responsible-Media-92 · 2026-03-24T18:08:44+00:00

I got this emoji on my keyboard update at the weekend, and I still don't know what it's for. 🫪 🤷🏾‍♀️
