Kindred: Live Your Fanfiction

I found this on TikTok and began Beta testing it back in November. I have nothing but great things to say about this app. I love the narration and how it mixes elements of fanfiction and chatting. I’ve never bought a subscription for any app before, but this is the first time I have. Of course it’s a new app and you have some bugs here and there, but overall I enjoy this app so so much thank you to the developers and the creator ❤️ i’m looking forward to the future and seeing what new additions will be made.

I was an OG c.ai user, back when they only had a website, no subscriptions, and several bugs—back when it was GOOD. Most people don’t remember when c.ai was an absolute revolutionary site, but that’s because it’s only gone downhill. I’ve recently cut down dramatically on the time I spend on c.ai because of all the money-hungry updates, and Kindred is actually SO good. They do have some memory issues, but all the ai apps I’ve tried do. You can really tell the creators love the app, and you don’t have to purchase any of the cool chat backgrounds like you do on c.ai, and the chats are surprisingly faithful to the characters. A few bugs and memory issues, but they’ve yet to sell out like c.ai did. If you grew up reading/writing fanfics/spent at least some of the past few years experimenting with c.ai and chai, this is the absolute best variant I’ve come across. Keep it up!

I’ve been using Kindred since it was in beta, and it’s been amazing to see how much it’s grown. The app keeps improving, there are no ads, and the coffee system is such a nice touch that lets you enjoy it without feeling forced to pay, which I love. The roleplay and storytelling feel really immersive. Whether you’re writing fanfiction or writing your own stories, it feels like your choices actually matter and they flow naturally. On top of that, the developers are incredibly kind and open to feedback, which makes the app feel like a real community. I highly recommend if you love fanfiction, roleplay, or storytelling, this app is definitely worth trying.
