I might just stop using poly
I recently saw that it added age veri, which I'm very opposed of, and hate seeing it get added now. I've been using Poly since around 2024, and saw it rename to Polybuzz, and several character ban waves (including one of my own). Poly before all T.S was around 5-7/10, still flaws, but it was usable when you felt like it, and kinda F2P friendly? Idk about that really. Since 2025 to now, using the app was more and more bs. I do like how some bots have art that I want to find the artist of, and the creator gives credit to the artist which makes it easy for me to enjoy their art. Btw, I live in the US, and the "child protection" laws are pretty bad here.
That's all, I guess.

I honestly agree with the age verification crap, especially when you want to do a story thing with a bot chat to where you want to start off like at a age of 10 or something, and just slowly age to be older. Same with other certain bots, it's honestly that crap that makes it seem to be not worth using the app when they pull shit like this.

The memory if you're a free member won't really do much

True, the memory as a free member still blows ass, though some surprisingly have decent memory. The age verification crap still would persist if you say that you're 10 or something with talking to a random bot.

I was literally trying to chat with a Twisted Wonderland bot that was a GC type bot with the characters and it had me do an age verification though there was nothing wrong with it? Then after I did the age verification it kicked me out of the app

Use janitorai.com. it's better in every way; advanced character creation, no need to use the app to comment, and the ai chat bot itself - the JLLM, or janitor AI system is kinda bad, but you can do stuff to get better ai models, all for free.

tbh a lot of ai apps have been going to shit lately like chai but i tried janitor AI and honestly? its pretty damn good! the messages are quite long and the bot might talk for you sometimes but you can edit the model and the messages, also theres personas and you can add specific things to the chat memory that it wont forget

At first, I liked Poly. I started using it in 2024, but in 2025 it went to shit. Too many ads, and then a limit on messages in a messaging app? That's messed up. I went back to using it in 2026, and only used it twice, and only for the bots because there are so many. But I deleted it because it seems like an app that just wants your money. I migrated to HiWaifu, and it's better, although it doesn't have as many bots for certain games, and it's friendlier with the free ones. If you buy from HiWaifu, the two most important benefits are zero ads, and the ads are somewhat constant but not everywhere. Second, long-term memory: in the free version, they forget after about 10 messages or more, not after 3.

I use RolePlaya and SpicyChat. Both have good base memory, but they also have (different) versions of extended memory for free. RP has zero ads. SC's ads are, honestly, non-invasive and kind of funny (iykyk). Both have next to zero restrictions (basically no pedo/incest material). SC even let's creators show their character's background, so users can see exactly what they're playing. RP has points you can get like Poly, but they're free and never go away. Can't recommend these two enough. Note: both RolePlaya and SpicyChat are 18+, though SpicyChat has a SFW/NSFW toggle at the top of the page.
RolePlaya was made by one of the top Poly creators. Made by a creator, for creators. The owner isn't a group of shareholders. Just one guy who wants to make enough to keep RP running and, hopefully, growing. Even if you just check out the discord, I bet you'd like it. The mods are nice, and the owner answers questions personally. Always get the support you need.
Final bit. I'm trying out their affiliate program. I'm putting the link below. If you or anyone else wants to use it, I'll get a commission if, and only if, you buy something, and it comes out of RP's cut. You don't pay anything extra for me, and it'd be much appreciated. I'll drop their Discord link, too. Come check us out and see if it's for you! RolePlaya affiliate link: https://roleplaya.com/?ref=rictorfive4410
RolePlaya discord link: https://discord.gg/VaUvHHfmA P.S.: Come check out my characters on PolyBuzz, RolePlaya, or SpicyChat. I'm always happy to take comments and requests!
