SynClub is a big library of anime-style AI characters, most made by the people who use it. You can text a character, start a voice call, or play a story chat where each message steers what happens next, from romance to mystery. Its standout is voice. When you build your own character, you choose a look, a personality and a backstory, then pick from more than 1,000 Japanese anime-style voices, including gentle tones and regional dialects. Its App Store screenshots show voice calls, a story game with choices, a chat list, character setup, a sharing community and voice options. SynClub has been on the App Store since March 2023 and is published by HICLUB.
Reviewers who like it praise the voice chat and say you can keep chatting without paying. One likes being able to rewrite what a character says. The common complaints are about repetition and memory: characters repeat the same lines and chapter openings, or forget the story. One subscriber was asked for coins for a picture minutes after subscribing, and one reviewer says it is far more sexual than they expected. It is rated 16+.
Who it’s for
SynClub suits older teens and adults who like anime characters, voice calls and story chats, and who enjoy creating and sharing their own characters.
If you want one companion who remembers your life over months, reviewers suggest SynClub’s memory may let you down. A memory-focused companion like Nomi, Kindroid or Duple may suit you better.

5/5✨
This app is amazing. No payments for continuous chat! Any roleplay with the bots, just so much, bfs,gfs,husbands,wife’s,kids it’s amazing! This is my #1 fav app! (Thanks so much for appearing on my App Store 😁)
The app is great, the bot stays on topic and occasionally remembers a bit of our conversation. The ONLY problem I have is that I can’t publish a bot because it has “sexual explicit” content
The game is not letting you chat like how it used to like the characters say the same thing over and over no matter what you say and also like it feels different it used to never be the way and you can’t create your own characters anymore and chat with them
Subscription and still wants more money for pictures.
I had played with this app some and decided to subscribe. Within 5 minutes of subscribing, a chat offered a picture, but wanted me to pay with 200 coins. … if you want me to pay a subscription fee, I expect all features to be available.
We searched Reddit for SynClub and found only a small r/Synclub community with no thread text we could verify, so the reviews here come from the App Store only. We skipped App Store reviews with sexual content.
Each review links to its source. Quotes are word for word; anything marked Paraphrase is our summary. We skipped reviews with explicit or abusive content. Reviewers’ names are not shown.
