Dippy is a character chat app. You browse characters by mood, such as a girlfriend, a best friend or a mentor, or build your own. Its App Store screenshots show a character creator where you set a background, a relationship and an image from a text prompt, plus a home screen widget where your character leaves you notes. Dippy works on iPhone, Android and in a browser at dippy.ai, and it describes characters who learn what you like and remember it.
Fans call it one of the best roleplay apps they have tried and praise how much you can customise a character. The complaints are about limits and ads. Dippy’s listing still says messages are unlimited and free, but reviews since early 2026 describe a daily chat limit and waits of several hours unless you subscribe, plus frequent ads on the free plan. Some reviewers also say characters forget things after a few messages or repeat themselves.
Dippy suits adults who want a mix of ready-made and custom characters, with lots of control over how a character is set up, and who are fine with ads or a subscription.
If you need long free sessions or reliable memory in long chats, recent reviews suggest you may hit limits. AI Dungeon and OOC are stronger for long stories.

One hundred percent the best AI RP app I’ve found. The ONLY gripe I have, is the length of the replies. So I make my own persona and character to roleplay with, but the character’s responses are 3-5 paragraphs each time and it’s wayyy too much.
Extremely customizable in like every conceivable way. Super good persistent memory, compared to character.ai at least.
Hi dippy! I literally love this app so much I subscribed to it within 1 hour! Unlike other ais there are so many customizable options when making characters like Back ground, image, relationship between the ai and the person, etc. My only suggestion is that I want to be able to make multiple characters in one ai like how poly ai does :)
Dippy is actually pretty impressive—responses are smart, sometimes funny, and it’s really easy to chat with. It feels like having a clever AI buddy in your pocket. The downside? The daily chat limit. It’s super frustrating when you’re in the middle of a conversation and suddenly get cut off.
I used to like Dippy ai. But when I got interrupted by this message saying I reached some stupid daily limit. And that ruined everything for me. Since when does Dippy ai have a limit?! And you have to wait 11 hours?!
This would’ve been a 5 but if you don’t pay for anything there’s ads like every 5 messages
The bots are great and there’s a wide variety and you can even make your own. However, I feel the bots don’t really have a good memory. They forget everything after like 2-3 messages and they’re basically impossible to change while chatting.
I like this app and all but when i tried to get on the app it logged me out? when i try to log back in with app it says to try again and it leaves me on this loading screen where i can literally not touch anything or try again like it said. Idk if this has anything to do with my device or the app but i’m still writing this review. Not sure either if it has anything to do with my account but either way.
I have tried detailed messages and simple ones and it fails to comprehend what I’m saying, and is not able to generate a response. Waste of time if you’re looking to role play. C.Ai is miles better.
