Emily

Emily review: what it actually is

Emily is a mobile chat companion that, per the TAAFT listing, runs on iPhone, iPad and iPod and nowhere else. Users list "Only available on iOS" and a requirement of iOS 11.0 or later as cons, and the install takes up about 49.9MB. Inside, you hold interactive conversations with a simulated girlfriend that adapts to your preferences, which the pros describe as entertainment and simulated social interaction. A con states plainly that it is not designed for genuine relationships. The listing has no release notes. It suits iPhone owners who want a light conversation companion on their phone. It is a poor fit for Android users, for anyone who wants a multilingual app or more than chat, and for people who dislike in-app purchases and auto-renewing subscriptions.

Emily has very little attention in the data. Its listing has about 16,000 all-time views on There's An AI For That and is gaining about 275 views a month there, which ranks it 81st of 98 apps on this site by all-time listing views, in the bottom fifth of the list. Those are views of the directory listing, not visits to the app, and the ranking compares it only with the other apps on this site. There is no Semrush search figure for the name, so there is no search-demand number to report. For someone choosing, this is a minor listing: little directory attention and no search data, so the cons and the App Store page are the main things to go on.

The rating rests on three people. Emily scores 2.0 out of 5 from only 3 ratings on TAAFT: no five-star, 1 four-star, no three-star, no two-star and 2 one-star. With three votes, one rating moves the average a long way, so do not read much into the 2.0. The listing has 70 saves, a higher number than its ratings count. Pros users list include the mobile application, interactive conversations, an intelligent response system, adaptation to your preferences and a simulated real-girlfriend experience. Treat the cons as practical notes for an iPhone buyer: iOS only, iOS 11.0 or later, not multilingual, limited to chat, in-app purchases required, subscription auto-renewal and about 49.9MB of storage. These are what TAAFT users reported, not our findings.

TAAFT lists Emily at Free + from $9.99/mo, under a freemium model with monthly billing. The cheapest paid plan is $9.99 a month, with a free tier to start. The cons are blunt about the money: in-app purchases are required and the subscription auto-renews. No refund policy is given in the data we track. What the free tier includes and what the paid plan unlocks are not covered by the data we track (the TAAFT listing and Semrush). Because the app is iOS only, check the App Store page for the current price, trial terms and how to cancel; the data we track does not describe how billing is handled. Anyone who dislikes auto-renewal should read those terms and note the renewal date before subscribing.
