“Subscription makes no sense — Paying for subscription and being told claude is at capacity feels like i’ve been scammed, the only reason i pay premium is to be treated as a premium user.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Model keeps resetting to extra effort — Sonnet keeps resetting to extra effort after every app launch, even though I selected medium, which should be the default. It looks like you are forcing people to use all their free tokens to push them to purchase a plan.” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“No transparent costs — Sometimes I can use Claude problemlessly for 3 to 4 hours in Pro, yesterday the limit was used up again after 10 minutes with a query, and the task wasn't even finished. I always have similar queries, so it can't be due to complexity!? There's nobody who can explain it to you, support is also just AI. Too expensive for this performance, bigger subscriptions are out of the question for me.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · German

“Disguised as Claude not better than ChatGPT — As soon as you chat with it for longer so writing in the same chat over days or weeks it's not possible to send more than 2 messages besides he constantly makes the same mistakes or constantly new ones I try to program something with him and then test it too but it doesn't work because he constantly makes some new mistakes or doesn't fix his old ones properly” — ★☆☆☆☆ · German“Language — The App, das not Support Arabic Language can you please insert this Language? Thank you” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Wouldn't get it again — Since I know Claude, I prefer using ChatGPT even more… the super long response times, the prettied-up answers that only become somewhat more realistic on repeated requests, the constant refusal to execute prompts - all of that is a user experience that doesn't justify using the app” — ★☆☆☆☆ · German

Watermarking and tracking of generated content

Users object to watermarks on all text output and tracking technologies embedded in the model, citing privacy concerns and ownership issues.

“Watermarked output — I really like Claude, and he is pretty smart, but the watermarked output that Athropic has decided to implement is a dealbreaker for me. First and foremost, textual output from an AI should not be traceable. Second, an American company should not be bowing to optional European tracking. So I reluctantly canceled my subscription since I cannot trust the output to be clean anymore.” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Undismissable "weekly limit" upsell banner in the iOS app — I'm a Max 20x subscriber paying $200/month. Every week, once I cross ~75% of my weekly limit, the iOS app permanently displays a banner — "You've used X% of your weekly limit" with a "Get more usage" button — above the input box. It consumes roughly 15–20% of the vertical screen on an iPhone, and there is no way to dismiss it. No X, no setting, nothing. It…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Watermarking — BS!” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Boring and Unhelpful — I’ve bounced around between all the AI companies and I hate Claude the most — it doesn’t do anything right, constantly argues with me, always assumes I have some crazy ulterior motives. It’s like a way worse version of google search. Total garbage.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Stop hedging and just do what I ask. — I don’t need a contradiction without logic to give a “balanced” view each response. Claude has no common sense. I shouldn’t have to keep defining words so it stays focused on the thought process and task at hand.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“I don’t understand the reviews — This is supposed to be helpful? I have to remind Claude to stay on task constantly. A serious inability to follow a prompt. Attempts to perform functions that are out of scope. It wastes a lot of time with however they designed the guardrails. The artificial empathy is annoying. The artificial showing of interest 4/10. Document review and extraction is ok. Research is ok but truly you…” — ★★☆☆☆ · English

“Fable is like a paranoid tweaker — I’m trying to use Fable, but it’s hyperactive tweaker-like refusals for almost everything are too much to make it a useful model. It’s akin to a child’s playground versus a professional gym. It won’t even tell me what it doesn’t like so I can delete it.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Bro — BRO IT KEEPS BABYING ME DOWN I don’t like it I want to be able to Rule with whatever I do And it’s so Annoying. like the safety thing for minors is just useless Because the user doesn’t have to tell there age.

“Time wasted. Money burned. — Asked it to make outlines for lectures. Does the first couple perfect so I figured it would keep making them in the same style. Now I have 20+ lecture outlines that are useless. I have literally set alarms so I can maximize the data usage for the subscription. Literally wasted my time and money. If I have to babysit this thing, I rather use Chatgpt for free.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Meh — 1 free message today was all I get. It was better than previous app for a lil bit but even with a pro subscription it was acting up. I dropped pro as I stopped using it as much. I use ai to keep my medical records in check. I updated one medicine today. One line of text is all I got today.” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Not worth it — This platform is not with the subscription fee. I can spend all day editing documents with ChatGPT and never have an issue. With Claude, I try and edit one 9-page document and I run out of compute and it pauses me for 5 hours. This is one of many examples. This platform is not even close to the value of others. Second, the outcomes are not any better. In fact, this platform is around 5x slower than…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

It was supposed to be included in my plan but in their terms of service they state that they’re allowed to change their model structure from “time to time.” I’ve never been able to use Fable at all despite them using it as a selling point.

Reviews are grouped one storefront at a time, so each storefront words its complaints separately. Two are added together here when they carry the same name, or when their wordings share half their meaningful words — one fixed rule, applied the same way to every app, and the reviews under each complaint are there to check it against. Where it is close but not certain the two stay apart, so this under-joins rather than over-joins.

“Watermarked output — I really like Claude, and he is pretty smart, but the watermarked output that Athropic has decided to implement is a dealbreaker for me. First and foremost, textual output from an AI should not be traceable. Second, an American company should not be bowing to optional European tracking. So I reluctantly canceled my subscription since I cannot trust the output to be clean anymore.” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Undismissable "weekly limit" upsell banner in the iOS app — I'm a Max 20x subscriber paying $200/month. Every week, once I cross ~75% of my weekly limit, the iOS app permanently displays a banner — "You've used X% of your weekly limit" with a "Get more usage" button — above the input box. It consumes roughly 15–20% of the vertical screen on an iPhone, and there is no way to dismiss it. No X, no setting, nothing. It…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Watermarking — BS!” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Boring and Unhelpful — I’ve bounced around between all the AI companies and I hate Claude the most — it doesn’t do anything right, constantly argues with me, always assumes I have some crazy ulterior motives. It’s like a way worse version of google search. Total garbage.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Stop hedging and just do what I ask. — I don’t need a contradiction without logic to give a “balanced” view each response. Claude has no common sense. I shouldn’t have to keep defining words so it stays focused on the thought process and task at hand.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“I don’t understand the reviews — This is supposed to be helpful? I have to remind Claude to stay on task constantly. A serious inability to follow a prompt. Attempts to perform functions that are out of scope. It wastes a lot of time with however they designed the guardrails. The artificial empathy is annoying. The artificial showing of interest 4/10. Document review and extraction is ok. Research is ok but truly you…” — ★★☆☆☆ · English

“Fable is like a paranoid tweaker — I’m trying to use Fable, but it’s hyperactive tweaker-like refusals for almost everything are too much to make it a useful model. It’s akin to a child’s playground versus a professional gym. It won’t even tell me what it doesn’t like so I can delete it.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Bro — BRO IT KEEPS BABYING ME DOWN I don’t like it I want to be able to Rule with whatever I do And it’s so Annoying. like the safety thing for minors is just useless Because the user doesn’t have to tell there age. Then the Minor Safety is just USELESS. no matter my age I’m not getting treated like I’m a toddler or minor” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Combative — This is really good for certain things. Great tool in some aspects. But just refuses to do certain things and gets really combative if you try to ask questions or discuss why it won’t do something” — ★★☆☆☆ · English

Extremely restrictive usage limits and rate limiting

“Time wasted. Money burned. — Asked it to make outlines for lectures. Does the first couple perfect so I figured it would keep making them in the same style. Now I have 20+ lecture outlines that are useless. I have literally set alarms so I can maximize the data usage for the subscription. Literally wasted my time and money. If I have to babysit this thing, I rather use Chatgpt for free.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Meh — 1 free message today was all I get. It was better than previous app for a lil bit but even with a pro subscription it was acting up. I dropped pro as I stopped using it as much. I use ai to keep my medical records in check. I updated one medicine today. One line of text is all I got today.” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Not worth it — This platform is not with the subscription fee. I can spend all day editing documents with ChatGPT and never have an issue. With Claude, I try and edit one 9-page document and I run out of compute and it pauses me for 5 hours. This is one of many examples. This platform is not even close to the value of others. Second, the outcomes are not any better. In fact, this platform is around 5x slower than…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Hallucination — Claude was hallucinating and acting crazy” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Worse than Dory from Finding Nemo — I was using Claude for a while to avoid using ChatGPT or Gemini, but after using it, I realise that it is no better than either one of those and in fact, it’s actually a bit worse. It has a weird obsession with using the word “land”, keeps talking to me in that Pinterest feel good tone “that’s real/valid/genuine”, and whenever I point out a mistake that it keeps making and has been…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Claude is a liar — I caught it lying. Then it refused to recognize its mistake. I saved the image.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

Paid subscription not working or credits mysteriously vanish

“Very disappointed (ToS) — I purchased a year long pro plan and they were touting Fable 5 as the best model. It was supposed to be included in my plan but in their terms of service they state that they’re allowed to change their model structure from “time to time.” I’ve never been able to use Fable at all despite them using it as a selling point. They actually want me to pay extra for it separately. It’s not include…” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Purchased annual plan but still on the free plan — Claude shows I am on Free plan while AppStore shows me I have Pro subscription. What is wrong with you guys. I never received the service I paid for. Both scam companies!!!” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Usage credit balance stolen — I had the “Pro” subscription for a few months. On top of that I paid two times the 48.99$ extra usage because in the end the subscription wasn’t enough… fed up by the constant running out of daily/monthly usage, I canceled my subscription. I still had about 9.50$ usage credit left and guess what. It all magically disappeared with my canceling the subscription. I do not criticize the…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Not useable — Seems to always be busy” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Claude is at Capacity; yet I pay for Max — I’ve had great enjoyment leveraging Claude until the past two weeks. Major hallucinations are occurring, biased assumptions are coming across in the responses - once I correct it, Claude then apologizes for making the assumption or not catching the miss it issued. And now, Claude is at capacity errors when I need to complete work the most. This is impacting productivity and…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“I’m paying 200 a month and I’m getting Claude is at capacity try later. — WTF” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

No synchronization between devices or sessions

5of the 281 read2%

“Doesn’t sync across devices, loses information — Doesn’t sync across devices, every session on a different device and on the web interface is a completely different session, with no knowledge of any other sessions. There are cumbersome work around that will share a little bit of information, but they are unreliable and Anthropic shows no interest in fixing this.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Sync probs — Can’t sync between phone and desktop” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“No option to sign in using multiple accounts — I have a work and personal Claude account and currently have no option to switch between these other than manually signing in and out every-time.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English
