About HereWhen
What can I do with Anime Buddy?
Chat about anime, discuss plot twists and share reactions with a clearly labelled AI companion. The browser overlay keeps companion chat alongside supported viewing sites. Watch Party also lets you watch together with real friends.
How do I send feedback during early testing?
Complete the in-app feedback popup after around 60 messages. Describe reply quality, anything confusing, your device and browser, and the first improvement you would prioritise. IndieAppCircle testers should also submit a brief completion note on the exchange.
Are the companions real people?
No. HereWhen companions are AI and are clearly labelled as such. Watch Party is a separate way to spend viewing time with your real friends. Romantic companion categories are restricted to adults aged 18 and over.
Is HereWhen legit?
HereWhen was listed on IndieAppCircle in October 2026 by HereWhen Team, who opened it to independent testers. No independent tester has reviewed it here yet. It is distributed through its own website at getherewhen.com. IndieAppCircle is a peer feedback exchange, not a paid-review site: testers earn credits only for feedback the maker accepts, and nobody is paid to be positive. We record what happened here; we do not vouch for a product's business practices.
What platforms does HereWhen run on?
HereWhen runs on Web. The maker built it for a general audience.
Is HereWhen free?
HereWhen uses a subscription.
What is HereWhen an alternative to?
HereWhen is built as an indie alternative to Character AI.
Is HereWhen still looking for testers?
Yes. The maker pays 5 credits for each approved test. Sign in to IndieAppCircle, open the test instructions on this page, try the app and write up what worked, what confused you and what broke. Once the maker approves your feedback the credits are yours; feedback left unanswered for 48 hours is approved automatically.
How do testers review HereWhen on IndieAppCircle?
Testers are other indie developers. They open HereWhen, follow the maker's test instructions, and write up first impressions, confusing moments and bugs. The maker reads each write-up and either approves it — which pays the tester — or rejects it. Only approved feedback is counted on this page. There are no star ratings and IndieAppCircle pays nobody to review anything; it is a feedback exchange, not a review site.
