CrushOn AI review
Adult character chat built on a library of community-made bots
Edited by Troy · Published
Pick CrushOn AI if you want a large library of community-made adult characters and can accept a privacy policy that, reviewers report, uses your chats to train its models. Skip it if privacy, long-term memory or refunds matter more to you than the library.

Community creators write most of the characters and some build their own submodels, so a character's voice depends on who made it.

The App Store listing says free with in-app purchases but shows no plan prices, and App Store reviewers report tight free limits and coin and credit pricing that feels like a barrier.
Asks: Does it charge you for caring?
Art
Microwaved
55
The character cover art on CrushOn's homepage is made by community creators and is mostly glossy, default-looking AI anime: airbrushed skin, big shiny eyes, flat studio lighting, with a few covers in a painterly or screencap style and creator logos stamped on them. Nothing is badly broken, but most of it looks like it went straight from the generator to the card.

Meh
0 to 10, higher is better.
4/10
A big community library with an adult setting, held back by reported refusals, forgetful bots and billing trouble.

Strengths and watch-outs
- A large community library. The App Store listing claims 500+ AI personalities, with new ones added weekly.
- Adult chat is available behind an 18+ rating and an in-app content setting.
- Creators go further than character cards. Users say some build their own submodels and model customizations.
- A user who paid for about six months praised the model choice and the creator community.
- Privacy is weak. Reviewers report the privacy policy uses chat content to train its models and sets no fixed retention period, and a user says bots set to private keep gaining views.
- Age checks are thin. Reviewers report Android sign-up asked only for two tick boxes, and users say the website charges a US$0.99 card transaction, billed as age verification, to unlock unfiltered content.
- Memory costs money. Reviewers report longer memory is sold by tier, an upsell banner appeared about three messages into the first chat, and free chat history is deleted after 7 days of inactivity.
- Billing complaints are common. Users report a renewal that charged them and then dropped them to free, with a half-month extension offered instead of a refund. The unclaimed review profile scores 1.8 from 22 reviews, and 91% of those reviews are 1-star.
- The apps carry other names. On iOS the app is Crushmash, published by Branden Allan Blankenship, and reviewers report the Android app is JollyChatter.

What it is
CrushOn AI is a character chat site where community creators make most of the characters, and adult chat sits behind an 18+ setting. The website footer names TECHIEPIE LTD, with an address in Nicosia, Cyprus, as the operator. The top characters on the homepage are community-made, and one creator's character cards advertise image albums of "40 Sexual Images + 10 Expressions = 50 Images".
The iPhone app is listed on the US App Store as Crushmash: Crush On AI Chat. It is rated 18+, free with in-app purchases, and has 57 ratings at this review. The listing names Branden Allan Blankenship as the developer, pitches swiping cards to match with AI personalities, and claims 500+ of them, with new ones added weekly. Reviewers report the Android app linked from the CrushOn AI website is published as JollyChatter.
What it is like to use
The character cover art is mostly glossy, default-looking AI anime: airbrushed skin, big shiny eyes and flat studio lighting. A few covers use a painterly or screencap style and have creator logos stamped on them. Nothing is badly broken, but most of it looks like it went straight from the generator to the card.
Memory is where CrushOn AI asks for money. Reviewers report that a memory upsell banner appeared about three messages into the first chat and that memory length rises with the paid tier. They also report that the free tab of the paywall says chat history is deleted after 7 days of inactivity, while the paid tabs say history is kept during membership. An App Store reviewer says the memory system rarely improves responses.
The filter draws the most complaints. In 60 one- and two-star reviews that reviewers read, filter and censorship led at 28%, ahead of bot quality getting worse after an update at 20%. Users add the details:
- Mentioning self-harm, even in a character's backstory, triggers a refusal and restarts the roleplay.
- Bots describe the user's anatomy as big whatever the persona says.
- Persona descriptions are capped at a thousand letters.
- More creators are paywalling images in their bots.
- Bots set to private keep gaining views, one of them 23.
The creator community is the part paying users defend. One user who paid about $50-60 a month for 180 days praised the model choice and the creators, some of whom build their own submodels such as a "SlowScript" Pro 8K. The same user said many models are old and often turn forgetful and hallucinate.
Pricing at this review
The App Store listing for Crushmash says the app is free with in-app purchases, and at this review it lists no plan prices. App Store reviewers say free users get 10 personas and 1 chat history slot per chat, and that the coin and credit pricing feels like a barrier.
Users describe further costs:
- Since mid-2026, the website asks for full card details and a US$0.99 charge, billed as age verification, before unfiltered content opens.
- A monthly renewal charged one user and then dropped them to free, and support offered a half-month extension instead of a refund.
- In October 2026 the "continue" option was disabled for free users, then reappeared in the browser version.
Who should skip it
Skip CrushOn AI if anything you type matters to you privately. Reviewers report that the privacy policy says chat content trains its models and sets no fixed retention period. They also report that age is self-declared, that Android sign-up asked only for two tick boxes, and that a privacy buyer's guide gave CrushOn AI its warning label after testing it in February 2024.
Skip it if you want long-term memory without paying for a tier, or if a refund matters more to you than the library. The unclaimed review profile shows a 1.8 TrustScore from 22 reviews, and 91% of them are 1-star. On iOS, App Store reviewers say the unfiltered setting does not work in the app until it is switched on under iPhone Settings > Apps > Crushmash > Content Preferences. The App Store listing is rated 18+, so CrushOn AI is for adults only.
