Claude by Anthropic — FAQ

Is Claude by Anthropic a scam?

The reviews do not support calling Claude by Anthropic a simple scam: several users describe it as a useful AI assistant for writing, studying, coding, and search. But the recent review sample also contains serious trust complaints, including broken loading, unexpected limits, account bans, lost access to projects, and one user saying cancellation was very hard, so it is worth being cautious before paying.

sucks so hard for my personal use case. voice transcription is a joke compared to open AI. thought I would give this a try. expensive and very hard to cancel. click the button to cancel an app and you're directed to the website and it tells you to download the app. they no longer have a monitored email address. Amazon is an investor.

Is Claude by Anthropic legit?

Claude by Anthropic appears to be a real AI app with users who rely on it daily and praise its writing, coding, search, and study help. That said, being legit does not mean every user is happy: recent negative reviews report reliability problems, account access issues, strict limits, hallucinations, and support frustration.

In a blind test that I didn't even know I was going to be conducting, Claude beat the socks off Gemini for finding and correctly interpreting real world events and up-to-date searches. Highly recommend.

Is Claude by Anthropic really free?

The Play Store listing says Claude by Anthropic is free, and some reviewers say they use it without constant payment prompts. However, multiple reviews complain that the free tier hits limits quickly, and some paid users say upgrading did not remove the limits they expected, so free use may feel restricted depending on what you do.

it's "free" for about 45 minutes! haven't used it in two days, still says I've "reached my limit". not worth paying for. I'll deal with my conversations not being stored with Google's ai.

Why does Claude by Anthropic keep hitting message or rate limits?

Rate limits are one of the clearest complaint clusters in the recent reviews. Users mention reaching limits quickly, being “ratio’d” even after paying, and not being able to complete small coding tasks before the limit appears, so anyone planning heavy use should expect limits to matter.

worst rates ever, cannot make a single html without hitting a limit within maximum 2 prompts.

Does Claude by Anthropic crash, freeze, or get stuck loading?

Recent reviews contain many reports of basic app reliability problems, including endless spinners, hanging on the loading screen, freezing after a few seconds, and crashing on open. Other users report that the app works well, but the negative reviews make loading and stability a real concern on Android.

Tried everything, reinstall included, but it just hangs on the loading screen. The same bug has been there for months. Uninstalled.

Can Claude by Anthropic ban or lock your account?

Some reviewers say they were banned, disabled, logged out, or unable to get back in, including users who claim they were using Claude for ordinary school or personal questions. The reviews do not show Anthropic’s side of those cases, but they do show account access as a recurring fear for prospective users.

Its really reliable, it does what you want, give you heads up when things arent going as planned etc etc. no problems there. The main problem is that claude bans innocent account, i haven't even used mine for like a month or few weeks and the app banned my account? and i cant even appeal without logging in? how am i supposed to appeal if i cant log in the first place?! I only use this for few daily personal life question if google doesnt answer my question or school work and stuff.

Are Claude by Anthropic’s answers accurate?

Reviews are mixed on accuracy. Positive reviewers call Claude useful, rational, and strong for search, writing, coding, and school work, while negative reviewers accuse it of hallucinating, inventing facts, making mistakes, and becoming worse at reasoning. It may be helpful, but reviews suggest you should verify important answers.

Caught it giving false information so I told it to look it up. Then it lied and said it did. over and over. POS

Is Claude by Anthropic good for coding and school work?

Many favorable reviews specifically mention coding, studying, semesters, and AI assistance, and one user says the pro plan is worth it. But other reviewers say it struggles with complex tasks or hits limits too quickly, so it may be useful for learning and coding help but not reliable enough for every workload.

an good ai to use can do lots of thinges and coding the pro plan is worth

Does Claude by Anthropic’s voice dictation work well?

Voice and dictation get some negative feedback in the reviews. One detailed review says dictation frequently mishears the user, and another says voice transcription is poor compared with OpenAI, so users who mainly want hands-free voice input may want to test it before relying on it.

the dictation is horrible and frequently butchers what I'm saying. my phone's built in dictation from Samsung is far less erroneous, which is a very low bar. in addition, the attitude of the AI is often defensive, non-cooperative, self-righteous, stubborn, and even passive aggressive at times. I don't have these problems with Gemini either. I used to really like this app, but I don't anymore. not to mention, every answer takes FOREVER. Plus, servers are often unavailable

How do I cancel Claude by Anthropic’s subscription?

The reviews do not provide a reliable step-by-step cancellation method, but one user specifically complains that cancellation is hard because the app sends them to the website and the website tells them to download the app. If easy cancellation matters to you, check the subscription management path before committing to a paid plan.

sucks so hard for my personal use case. voice transcription is a joke compared to open AI. thought I would give this a try. expensive and very hard to cancel. click the button to cancel an app and you're directed to the website and it tells you to download the app. they no longer have a monitored email address.
