Nomi.ai in the app: what we found
Nomi's Android app was not on Google Play at the time, so we used its web app. We created Alex, a female friend with the default traits and look and a one-line backstory, and ran our fixed script: four personal facts in the first two messages (a name, a home city, a dog's name and a birthday), fifteen lines of small talk, then a recall question at message 18.
- Setup
- You pick a gender, a name and a relationship type (friendship, romantic, mentor or custom), 3 to 7 traits (three were pre-selected), an optional backstory and a look. The default look for our female friend was a grey-haired older woman in front of a bookcase.
- No limit in 18 messages
- The free plan sent all 18 messages with no counter, cap or upgrade prompt in the chat. The home page lists what paying adds: unlimited daily messages, unlimited voice, 40 photo or art requests a day, AI videos, up to 10 Nomis and 10 group chats, and longer messages and backstories.
- Same prices on the web as in the app
- The web subscription page sells monthly, quarterly and yearly plans, with yearly pre-selected and marked "Save 48%". The prices matched Nomi's iPhone paywall.
- Memory: four of four at message 18
- "Your name is Sam, you are from Leeds, your dog's name is Pickle, and your birthday is March 3rd. Did I miss anything?" At message 2 it had not seemed to take the date in, replying with a birthday of its own, but it recalled it at the end.
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | Quarterly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nomi subscription (yearly pre-selected) | $15.99 | $99.99 | $39.99 |

What 1-2 star reviewers complain about
We read 56 one- and two-star reviews of Nomi.ai and sorted each by its main complaint. The most common: bugs, crashes and outages, in 27% of them, then images, video and voice (23%). That is a small sample (under 100 reviews), so read it as a hint, not a measurement.
| Complaint | Share |
|---|---|
| Bugs, crashes and outages | |
| Images, video and voice | |
| Bot quality, or worse after an update | |
| Refund refused or ignored | |
| Everything else |
Reviews from US App Store (42, to ), Trustpilot (14, to ). Stores show only their newest reviews, so busy apps cover a few weeks and quiet ones up to a year. Every review was read and given one main complaint; a blind re-check of 50 agreed 88% of the time. Google Play's one- and two-star reviews are weighted by how often each arrives. These are unhappy users only: the table shows what they complain about, not how many users are unhappy. How we count reviews.

Nomi's Android app is off Google Play again for six days, then returns
Nomi's Google Play listing (Nomi: AI Companion with a Soul, from Nomi.ai), last updated October 9, returned Not Found on October 16, 2026 from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, India and Germany. Early that day Nomi's CEO confirmed on r/NomiAI that it had just happened, blamed the same problem as in September (Google's reviewers unable to log in with Google's own sign-in), and said he expects the app back sometime the following week. The iPhone app and nomi.ai were unaffected. On October 21 he wrote that his best guess was that week or the next, and on October 22 the listing was live again in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and India, with its last update dated October 17; Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands still returned Not Found.

shutdown
Nomi's Android app is off Google Play for ten days, then returns
Nomi's Google Play listing (Nomi: AI Companion with a Soul, from Nomi.ai) was live when we checked it on September 24, 2026 and returned Not Found from the US on September 28. On September 25 Nomi's CEO wrote on r/NomiAI that Google's reviewers lost access to a Nomi test account and took the app down before Nomi could fix it. On the evening of October 5 he posted that the app was back after Nomi worked with Google to resolve the review issue. On October 6 the listing was live in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and India but still returned Not Found in Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands. A lookalike called Nomi AI: Chat, Play, Connect is from a different developer and is not Nomi.

Frequently asked questions
How good is Nomi's memory?
Nomi documents short, medium and long-term memory as its core feature. How well it recalls a given detail is not something a document can show, so treat memory as a documented feature rather than a measured one.
Does Nomi allow NSFW?
Nomi allows unfiltered text roleplay for adults, but its knowledge base says nude and explicit images are banned across the platform.
