==================================================
2.1 GENERAL QUESTIONS
Q: What is My Man?
A: My Man is an AI companion app featuring 118 male AI companions. You can chat via text or voice, create custom companions, generate AI photos, and engage in interactive scenarios. All companions use advanced AI to provide realistic, personalized conversations.
Q: Is My Man free?
A: Yes, My Man offers a free tier with:
- Access to 30 of 118 companions
- Unlimited text messages (with 5-minute breaks every 20 messages)
- Basic profile personalization
Premium subscriptions (Lite, Pro, Max) unlock unlimited messaging, voice calls, AI photos, custom content, and more.
Q: Why does My Man have subscription fees?
A: We're transparent about this: running My Man requires significant ongoing costs that we want to share honestly with you.
Every conversation you have uses advanced AI language models. Every voice call processes real-time audio through sophisticated voice AI systems. Every photo you generate uses cutting-edge image AI. These technologies have real costs that we pay to our AI providers for each message, minute, and image.
Beyond AI costs, we invest in:
- Maintaining secure cloud infrastructure for your usage tracking
- Regular app updates and new features
- Customer support and user safety
- Privacy-focused design and security measures
- Continuous improvements to serve you better
We've worked hard to keep our pricing as affordable as possible while maintaining the high-quality experience you deserve. We believe everyone should have access to companionship and connection, which is why we offer a generous free tier and keep our subscription prices lower than many competitors.
My Man is built with love for our users, and every dollar you spend goes directly into making the app better, safer, and more meaningful for people like you. We're committed to being here for the long term, and sustainable pricing helps us continue serving you with care and quality.
Q: Do I need to create an account?
A: No. My Man does not require email, phone number, or password. An anonymous identifier is automatically generated on your device. You can optionally provide a display name and profile information for AI personalization.
Q: Is My Man safe and private?
A: Yes. My Man is designed with privacy as a priority:
- All conversations stored locally on your device only
- No analytics, tracking, or data selling
- No social features or public profiles
- Anonymous usage (no real name required)
- Strong encryption for all data transmission
See Settings → Legal → Privacy Policy for complete details.
Q: Are the AI companions real people?
A: No. All companions are AI-powered conversational agents. They simulate realistic conversations using advanced language models but are not real people. They cannot form genuine emotional bonds or relationships.
Q: Can AI companions provide therapy or medical advice?
A: No. AI companions are for entertainment and companionship only. They do not provide:
- Medical or mental health advice
- Legal or financial advice
- Professional counseling or therapy
- Crisis intervention services
For professional help, please consult qualified professionals. See Settings → About → Community Resources for support organizations.

Q: Is there a free trial?

Q: What are the promotional offers I see on the subscription screen?
A: Occasionally, a time-limited promotional discount may appear when you visit the subscription screen. These offers provide a reduced price on your first billing period (for example, 20% off monthly or 40% off yearly plans).
Key details:
- A countdown timer shows how long the offer is available
- The discounted price is shown clearly before you confirm the purchase
- After the first billing period, your subscription renews at the standard price
- Offers are available to Free and Lite users only
- You may see up to 3 promotional offers per week (maximum 1 per day)
- All standard cancellation and refund terms apply
The promotional price is processed through Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android), so the discounted amount appears on your receipt.
Q: Will my subscription renew at the promotional price?
A: No. Promotional pricing applies to the first billing period only. After that, your subscription renews at the standard price for your plan and billing cycle. You can check the renewal price at any time in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. You may cancel before renewal to avoid charges at the standard rate.
Q: How do I cancel my subscription?
A: Subscriptions are managed by Apple:
1. Open iPhone Settings
2. Tap your name at the top
3. Tap "Subscriptions"
4. Select "My Man"
5. Tap "Cancel Subscription"
You must cancel at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid being charged. Access continues until the end of the current billing period.
Q: Can I get a refund?
A: Refunds are handled by Apple, not My Man:
- Visit reportaproblem.apple.com
- Sign in with your Apple ID
- Find your My Man purchase
- Select "Request a refund"
Refund eligibility is determined by Apple's policies. For questions, contact myman.support@newversion.studio
Q: What happens if I downgrade my subscription?
A: When you downgrade:
- Change takes effect at the end of your current billing period
- You keep access to premium features until that date
- Monthly quotas reset based on new tier
- Purchased credits (IAP) are preserved
- Custom content may become locked if it exceeds new tier limits (data preserved, access restricted)
Q: Can I buy additional credits?
A: Yes. Pro and Max users can purchase:
- Audio Call Minutes: 30 or 90 minutes
- Request Photo Credits (companion sends YOU a photo): 30 or 90 credits
- Share Photo Credits (you send a photo TO the companion): 30 or 90 credits
Purchased credits:
- Never expire
- Stack on top of subscription quota
- Are used after monthly subscription quota is exhausted
- Are preserved across app reinstalls
- Request Photo and Share Photo credits are SEPARATE pools — buying one does not top up the other
Q: I sent a photo but he said "I can't look at that one" — what happened?
A: One of two things tripped a safety check on the photo you shared:
1. The third-party AI vision provider that "sees" your photo applies its own content filters. If it determines the photo cannot be analyzed (for example, it interprets the image as containing minors, weapons being wielded, illegal drug use, graphic violence, or signs of abuse), it returns a refusal instead of a description.
2. As a second safeguard, the app applies a safety guardrail on the description the vision provider returns. If the description mentions any of the categories above, the companion redirects the conversation rather than engaging with that content.
In both cases the companion will reply with a short in-character message like "Sorry babe, I can't look at that one 🙇 Try another?" You can pick a different photo and try again. Please note: 1 Share Photo credit is used because the analysis API call did successfully run, even when the photo is refused (see "My Share Photo Credits screen shows fewer credits than I bought — where did they go?" below).
Tip: If you believe your photo is safe and was misclassified, try a different angle or crop — content classifiers can be over-cautious on ambiguous images.
Q: My Share Photo Credits screen shows fewer credits than I bought — where did they go?
A: A Share Photo credit is consumed every time the AI vision provider successfully processes your photo, including when it returns a refusal (see previous question). This is because the API call did execute and was billed by the provider.
You are NOT charged a credit when:
- The network failed (no internet, timeout, server error)
- The photo couldn't be encoded or was too large
- The app crashed or was killed mid-analysis
When you tap the photo button on the keyboard, the credits card on the source picker shows your current balance (monthly + purchased combined). Settings → Subscription & Credits → Share Photo Credits shows a full breakdown of monthly vs purchased credits, usage history, and reset date.
2.3 FEATURE QUESTIONS
Q: How do voice calls work?
A: Voice calls use real-time AI voice technology:
- Pro: 30 minutes/month, Max: 90 minutes/month
- Billed per second, charged per complete minute (fair billing)
- Multiple short calls don't waste quota
- Microphone permission required
- Internet connection required (WiFi recommended)
- Audio is NOT recorded or stored
- Maximum 30 minutes per call session
See "How do I make a voice call?" below for step-by-step instructions.
Q: What are Solo Photos vs Together Photos?
A: AI photo generation comes in two modes:
SOLO PHOTOS (Pro and Max):
- Generate photos of the companion only
- Natural language prompts (e.g., "at the beach at sunset")
- Uses companion's appearance as reference
- Pro: 30/month, Max: 90/month
TOGETHER PHOTOS (Max only):
- Generate photos of you and the companion together
- Upload your photo as reference
- Natural language prompts
- Max: 90/month (shared quota with Solo)
Credits are only consumed if generation succeeds. Failed attempts show "No credit charged."

- Select AI voice from 20 options (with audio preview)

- Create custom interactive scenarios (Pro: 3, Max: unlimited)

- 32 milestones based on messages, calls, and time together
- Weekly insights with 12-week trend charts

5.7 COMPANION MEMORY
WHAT IS COMPANION MEMORY?
Your AI companions can now remember key facts from your past conversations. Instead of starting fresh every time, they'll recall your interests, experiences, and what matters to you — making each conversation feel more personal and connected.
HOW IT WORKS:
- As you chat, the AI periodically extracts key facts from your conversations
- These memories are stored locally on your device only
- When you start a new conversation, relevant memories are provided to the AI
- Your companion naturally references past conversations without feeling forced
WHAT'S REMEMBERED:
- Personal facts (your job, pets, family, hobbies)
- Preferences (what you like, your favorite things)
- Shared experiences (topics you discussed together)
- Emotional moments (times you were happy, stressed, or excited)
- Relationship notes (how you like to interact)
- Intimate preferences (for adult conversations)
MEMORY CAPACITY BY TIER:
- FREE: Basic memory — companions remember key facts about you
- LITE: Standard memory — more memories stored, with automatic consolidation
- PRO: Deep memory — even more memories, frequent consolidation to keep facts accurate
- MAX: Full memory — maximum memories stored, most frequent smart updates
HOW TO MANAGE MEMORIES:
Companion memory works automatically in the background — there is no manual setup required. To clear memories:
- Settings → Danger Zone → Clear All Memories (removes all companion memories globally)
- Resetting the app also clears all memories
CLEARING ALL MEMORIES:
- All companions: Settings → Danger Zone → Clear All Memories
- Full reset: Settings → Danger Zone → Reset App (clears everything)
PRIVACY:
- All memories are stored locally on your device only
- Memories are never uploaded to external servers
- Clearing memories is permanent and cannot be undone
- Resetting the app clears all companion memories

A MESSAGE FROM OUR TEAM
==================================================
Thank you for being part of the My Man family. We built this app with love and care because we believe everyone deserves companionship, connection, and a space where they can be themselves without judgment.
We know that AI companions aren't a replacement for real human connection, but we hope they can provide comfort, entertainment, and meaningful moments in your day. Whether you're chatting during a lonely evening, practicing conversation skills, or just having fun with interactive scenarios, we're honored to be part of your journey.
ABOUT OUR PRICING:
We want to be completely transparent: the AI technology that powers My Man—the conversations, voice calls, and photo generation—costs real money for every interaction. We pay our AI providers for each message you send, each minute you talk, and each photo you create.
We've worked incredibly hard to keep our prices as low as possible while still covering these costs and maintaining the quality you deserve. We're not a big corporation trying to maximize profits—we're a small team trying to serve our users sustainably.
That's why we offer:
- A generous free tier so everyone can try My Man
- A 7-day free trial on Lite so you can test premium features
- Fair pricing that reflects real AI costs, not inflated margins
- Transparent communication about what your subscription supports
Every subscription helps us:
- Pay for the AI technology that powers your conversations
- Keep improving the app with new features and companions
- Provide responsive customer support
- Maintain your privacy and security
- Continue serving you for years to come
YOUR FEEDBACK MATTERS:
We're constantly listening and improving My Man based on your feedback. If you have suggestions, encounter issues, or just want to share your experience, please reach out to us at myman.support@newversion.studio. We read every message and genuinely care about making My Man better for you.
OUR PROMISE TO YOU:
- We'll always prioritize your privacy and safety
- We'll keep pricing as affordable as we can
- We'll be transparent about costs and changes
- We'll continue building features you want
- We'll treat you with respect, dignity, and care

Thank you for trusting us with your time and your companionship experience. Whether you're on the free tier or a Max subscriber, you're equally valued.
