User Reviews: Pal Chat

  • A Gift.

    This app is a gift to users. Not only is it free, it’s not collecting data on you, not trying to sell anything, it doesn’t want anything from you. That generosity is rare and appreciated, thank you 🙏🏼.

    As far as the functionality, it works well. Add your API key and go. Functionality is straightforward, clean, effective.

    Probably the biggest compromise is voice interaction. The text to speech here is the highest quality so you won’t be annoyed by robot voices. But the back-and-forth interaction is not as smooth as ChatGpt. Its more of a delayed experience, visual cues are not as intuitive, and I wasn’t able to hold a conversation by voice alone.

    Other areas are more more rich than ChatGPT. For example being able to enter your API key at all, and being able to use a variety of models is something we won’t see coming from OpenAI anytime soon.

    Overall It’s the best option I’ve seen for my needs.
  • Great app that can use your own key

    Update: it shows equation now.

    Everything works. I hope that in the future you can fix the way to show equations. Test it with “time dilation “ and you shall see the problem

    I have implemented LaTeX support to show equations! I hope this can help reconsider the rating :)
  • Pal makes it very easy to switch between different models

    It's great to have a single mac app you can use to switch between various hosted models. Much better UX than having to switch between browser tabs for each!
  • Great app - Feature Request

    For the DALL-E model, please allows us to edit the dimensions in the drop-down menu in any way.

    Developer Response

    Hi! Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately OpenAI only allows those 3 dimensions to be used through their API.
  • Great way to use your own API keys

    Most of the “chatgpt” apps in the App Store are complete scams. This one is great and let’s you use your own API keys saving you lots while letting you use GPT-4. Feature requests: conversation history ✅, Azure OpenAI endpoints.

    Thanks for the feedback! I have added conversation history support.
