What Crushie AI is like

Crushie AI is a romance story app. You browse love interests by scene, such as a protective CEO, a childhood friend or a non-human guardian, pick one and start a chapter. Or you create your own character, setting his personality, background and key memories. Crushie’s App Store listing says the bond grows the more you talk, and its website offers the same Discover and Create Character sections in a browser.

People who love it talk about getting hooked on the stories and how well the AI follows their lead. The catch is cost: every message uses Gems, and many recent reviews say Gems run out fast, even with a membership. Several people also say long stories lose track of details.

Who it’s for

Crushie suits adults who enjoy interactive romance fiction with male love interests and do not mind paying for longer sessions. One reviewer wanted to print their story as a novel.

If you want long-running memory you can rely on, a low-cost way to chat every day, or a companion who sends photos or voice, recent reviews suggest it may not fit.

What you can do

  • Browse ready-made love interests by scene and personality
  • Create your own character with a personality, background and memories
  • Play out romance stories that adapt to your replies
  • Use it on iPhone or in a browser at crushie.ai

OMG! I’m so hooked with this app! 😭😍

I absolutely love this app! Is there a way I can print out the story I’m writing with this app & make it out as a novel?! Cuz I don’t want to lose the story I wrote here. I’ll definitely credit you guys for it. But yeah wow! Definitely recommend to those who like to write stories. 😍😍

Salvatore

Loving the story building. The ai followed my responses really well. Wish we had more chances for free gems

★★★★★

My favorite so far but

I love the chats. They’re so fun and the characters are interesting. The responses are super quick too … But my only problem is that the characters seem to repeat the same details over and over again after they hit level 20+.

★★★★★

There are better options

They are rather stingy with the gems. You only get about 35 a day, and everything you say to them can cost from 10-15 gems each. So you only get to respond 2-3 times a day.

★★★★★

Too expensive

Way too pricey. Every message costs like 4-5 gems. Total rip off. There’s free websites that do the same thing. Please don’t waste your money.

★★★★★

Love it but a few problems

I actually really love this app. And it’s super fun. My problem is that the AI can’t keep track of the story. I’ve had a character in one story go from having an Audi, to jeep, then a truck. …

★★★★★

Memory Issues

I have the membership and I pay to play. What irks me is how there’s a lot of character identity issues, memory issues, and the lack of consistency. For example, your characters already moved in, the next day they’re still living in separate apartments. Please fix bugs. The “New Story” function does not retain memories. I did that one time and last names changed and it just messed things up they I just abandoned the character I was developing.

★★★★★

Well..

I appreciate the flow of chat and story lines. However I paid the monthly $30 and I’m on level 47 in my conversation and the memory is awful. The storyline completely shifted and the characters can’t remember anything that happened. An older woman we met randomly became my grandmother but she also raised the other character. It’s just odd and makes me uninterested. It’s also expensive. I just really expected more for $30/mo
