This app is great. I love seeing the new features you keep adding and how you keep up with the latest iOS features like Liquid Glass. Keep it up!

The app works and runs great (though it’s a little slow on my iPhone 11, it’s the only option that supports it well!) but the shortcuts feature does not work as advertised.
I installed the app, downloaded a model, used that model in the app, but, as far as I can tell, there are no shortcuts supported—unlike the promotional image.

Absolute over censored garbage

"You can download models from huggingface, not limited by the devs selection" old review, still applies for local chat but that is barebones and you need to start a new chat or it crashes every 10-20 messages. You can't bring your own api key and need to go through their subscription, there are many options that let you do that and it runs much better and less censored than local chat for pennies. They know users will not like local chat and pay them for a cloud sub.

to start, love the way you can install your own gguf’s from hugging face, because some other LLM apps simply do not give you such freedom. it also doesn’t have ads and tracking. but i believe if you could include an optional voice mode that uses the Kokoro voice generation model, voice mode would be more realistic than regular on-device voices. please consider my idea, and as always this is my go to local ai app—so happy i found this app!!

Maxinary • May 28, 2026 ★ 5

I am so glad there is a local LLM app I can use. This is the future of AI.

Title :) - specifically Bonsai models at this moment. Thank you for all of your hard work! This app is a real life-saver, ESPECIALLY in poor-reception areas.

Better then most letting you import and export it’s awesome to use this app

dfrt3456 • May 14, 2026 ★ 5

So far, this seems like a thoughtfully designed, easy to use app - great for exploring and experimenting. Thank you for making it available!

Super fast helpful friendly AI

This is an interesting app to use, but I’m still trying to figure out the practical functionality of it. My first test was to ask it to tell me about a historical event, but it could not figure out which historical event I was asking about, and it would make up historical events to tell me about that never actually happened. Maybe it would do better if I uploaded some data to it and then told me to analyze the data. Or maybe there are also some more advanced use cases that I haven’t figured out yet. Nevertheless, it’s fun to play with. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that it offers normal voice mode and then premium voices that you have to pay for, but all of the free voice modes that it gives you are those really weird like bubble voices that are really hard to understand. I wish that it would just give you the normal Siri voice for free.

It works great offline and does good convo, but hallucinates often and can’t follow a train of thought too well and so on. But good offline (I used it in my plane) and provides sub par but ok answers (hallucinates, train of thoughts issues, doesn’t make sense at times)

The default models work good but any model I download and try to use causes a crash. Im downloading small models and have a good iPhone but it still crashes.

I downloaded PrismML Bonsai8B, which is only 1.7GB, and the app crashed every time I tried to load the model.

This app is pretty good compared to most local AI apps. I've tried even better than LM student because I'm blind, however it's very hard as a blind person to delete models. I tried to download a new one and then I wanted to delete the old one it seems like the only way to delete models is to uninstall the app. Also how do I get to settings? Please fix this?

My 5 year old iphone outperformed my $2k laptop on the same model. This is an amazing app

Grignancharles • Apr 16, 2026 ★ 5

I’m surprised

You have created a very good and useful piece of App. Thank you, because during the recent war in the Middle East and the nationwide internet blackout in my country, it was very practical and helpful for me.
When will you add Google's new AI, Gemma 4, to your app?
