Candy AI App: Is There an iPhone or Android App?

Candy AI has no native iPhone or Android app. The service runs as a progressive web app (PWA) at candy.ai, which you can save to your home screen so it opens like a regular app. Any “Candy AI” listing you find in the App Store or Google Play is most likely a clone, and it is safer to avoid it.
The install takes under a minute on either platform and costs nothing extra. The plans, your account and your chats are the same ones you use on the website. The main risk is ending up with a copycat that bills you under a name you don’t recognize.
Is There an Official Candy AI App?
No official native app exists. Candy AI is a browser-based AI companion platform operated by EverAI Limited, a company registered in Malta. Its mobile version is the website packaged as a PWA.
On a phone, the site shows a “Get App” prompt. That prompt tells you to add the site to your home screen, and it does not point to a store download. Candy lists three benefits for doing this:
- App-like, full-screen view with a cleaner interface and no browser address bar
- Push notifications for new messages, new features and sales
- No app-store download, so the web version and the “app” stay identical
How to spot fake Candy AI apps
Treat any store listing that uses the Candy name as unofficial. A few simple checks protect your account and your card:
- Sign up and pay only on candy.ai. The real account, plans and checkout all live on that domain.
- Check your statement. Genuine charges appear as “EverAI”. Any other merchant name suggests you paid a different company.
- Keep privacy expectations realistic. Candy says it encrypts data in transit and follows GDPR standards. A clone app offers none of that data protection. Candy’s own claims about encrypted chats also deserve a close read. Our breakdown of whether Candy AI is safe covers what the privacy notice commits to.
How to Add Candy AI to Your iPhone
On iPhone, you install Candy AI through Safari’s Share menu:
- Open Safari and go to candy.ai.
- Log in, or create your account first so the home screen icon opens straight into your AI chat.
- Tap the Share button (the square with an upward arrow).
- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
- Rename the icon if you want, then tap Add.
The Candy icon now sits with your other apps. When you launch it, the site opens full-screen, and your AI companion, chat history and plan carry over from the browser.
If you want new-message alerts, allow notifications when Candy asks. You can change that permission later in iOS Settings. To remove the shortcut, press and hold the icon and delete it. Deleting the icon leaves your account and subscription untouched, so cancel through Candy’s settings if you intend to stop paying.
How to Add Candy AI to Your Android Phone
On Android, you install Candy AI from Chrome’s menu:
- Open Chrome and visit candy.ai.
- Sign in to your account.
- Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
- Choose Add to Home Screen (some versions label it Install app).
- Confirm, and drag the icon wherever you like.
After that, your AI companions open in a standalone window without the Chrome toolbar. Other Chromium browsers such as Samsung Internet offer a similar option in their own menus.
Allow notifications if you want alerts when your virtual partner replies. Removing the icon works like any other app, and your Candy account stays active until you cancel the plan in settings.
Is the Web App Worth Using?
The web app is worth using if you already chat with Candy on your phone. It adds convenience and notifications at no extra cost, and every feature from the desktop site is included.
The home screen version costs the same as the website. As of September 2026, Candy lists these prices:
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Free | 5 messages, one custom character, one image |
| Premium, monthly | $13.99/month |
| Premium, 3 months | $8.99/month |
| Premium, 12 months | $3.99/month |
Premium adds unlimited text messages and lets you build a custom AI companion from scratch. It also unlocks AI-generated images, videos and Candy’s “live action” experience. Voice features, voice messages and some media use tokens, so heavier use of those features costs more than the base plan. Candy says its memory features let AI characters remember past conversations, which matters most if you want long-running AI companionship with one AI girlfriend or AI partner.
The free tier’s message limits are tight enough that you’ll find out quickly whether the chat style suits you. For a full look at realism, content freedom and value, see our Candy AI review.
Bottom Line
Candy AI has no native store app. The official experience is the candy.ai PWA, which you add to your home screen through Safari’s Share menu or Chrome’s three-dot menu. Pricing, features and your account are identical to the website. Legitimate charges show as “EverAI”, so any other merchant name on your statement points to a clone.
