### 4/5 — Needy ratings

*2025-12-09, version 1.6.0*

I have paid for the version where you bring your own key, it allows me to chat without a monthly subscription. So that part works well enough, you can’t request images.

However it keeps stopping and asking me to rate it, you can’t do anything else until you choose a number of stars. Why do I have to keep doing this? I rated it at the start, but as time goes on and I’m being asked to rate it again and again then the stars will start to get less and less.

### 2/5 — 2025/4

*2025-07-08, version 1.6.0*

The app has not been updated yet to fix the numerous issues it is facing
=============

I expect the program is completely dead. Please be cautious about purchasing

### 2/5 — AI

*2025-05-08*

The app is good and the price is cheap, however, its just a chat boot nothing special, its missing one of the important things image adding, processing, and creating stores based on images, all in all I would not recommend for anyone to pay for this app, there is much better AI’s with much more possibilities and creativity.

### 2/5 — تقييم

*2024-12-02*

So far, the many errors in the program have not been fixed. One of the most important issues is that if you ask it to list something, the page remains blank

### 3/5 — Feedback on Siri Compatibility

*2024-10-19*

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share my experience regarding the program’s compatibility with Siri on the iPhone and HomePod. Unfortunately, I have encountered issues where the program does not function with Siri on either device.

I believe addressing this compatibility could enhance user experience significantly. Thank you for considering this feedback.

### 2/5 — No longer works and no support.

*2024-06-02, version 1.4.4*

Lori used to be a great companion while driving. Unfortunately it stopped working and will no longer accept any of the keys generated by ChatGPT.  Moreover many attempts to communicate with the developer have been ignored. 

Its a shame because it was one of those few apps that was really useful 🤷‍♂️.

### 2/5 — iCloud never works. Support never replies.

*2024-05-12, version 1.4.3*

The title says it all.

### 3/5 — Not sure what changed with the recent updates

*2024-04-30*

I’m not sure what changed with the recent updates, but I am no longer able to activate activate Lori using Siri voice command and shortcuts.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with activating Lori via Siri voice commands and shortcuts, MikeWithTooManyDevices. 

It's possible that there have been changes in the recent updates that affected this functionality. I'll investigate this matter further and ensure that any necessary adjustments are made to restore this feature. Thank you for bringing it to our attention! 🛠️📱

### 2/5 — Beautiful but limited

*2024-02-29, version 1.4.0*

The versions of GPT available is limited. The prompt length is limited. Custom assistant syncing is slow and unreliable.

And every time I the chat is disabled as it prompts for feedback I’ll lower one star.

### 3/5 — iCloud Sync Not Working

*2024-02-05*

For some reason, Lori doesn’t like to sync individual conversations from one of my devices to the others. Sending an email about the issue (twice) after doing some troubleshooting efforts myself within the app’s support form doesn’t get a helpful response. Love the concept, but…my experience has been mid.

**Developer response:** Hey Chris,

I'm sorry to hear about the troubles you're experiencing with iCloud Sync and the lack of a helpful response to your inquiries. It's crucial for features like sync to work seamlessly across all devices to ensure a smooth and efficient user experience. Your effort in troubleshooting and reaching out for support is greatly appreciated, and it's disappointing to hear that your experience hasn't met your expectations.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to resolve these issues to better serve you and align with the concept you love.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2024-06-15, version 1.4.5*

Got at launch and worked really well but straight after renewing it no longer opens half the time without crashing. Tried messaging and ignored and the support site is gone.

### 1/5 — Good but restricted

*2024-02-12, version 1.3.9*

Crooks. After charging me 10 gbp to use the app, the developers suddenly introduced a new payment demand, turning the app payment into a monthly subscription model. Unacceptable. I would have never paid the initial £10 had I known that they would break the contract and start asking for monthly payment after 6 months. Simply rapacious n

### 1/5 — Paywall

*2023-12-06, version 1.3.4*

Pay $10.00 for my own API. But stop working.
You need to resubscribe by a monthly payment.  
Support doesn't seem to understand how to fix the issue. They said you need to go to Open sea to make your API work again, you will need to pay $10. 00 for that.

At the end I erased the app. And developer don't know how to talk. And it just go on circles when answering emails. 

Please scroll the reviews you will see plenty of people with same issue.

### 1/5 — Cheating and stealing money

*2023-10-03, version 1.3.2*

I purchased the forever pro version of the app but I can't use Chat GPT for free yet!!! There are thousands of free apps in the app store, and even Chat GPT 4 is free to use, but in your app, nothing is free. This is cheating and stealing money. If this problem is not addressed, I will complain about the app, with all due respect.

### 1/5 — Dumb

*2024-08-20*

Please show premium paid lifetime in the subscription status view. I want my lifetime purchased to be displayed in FULL DETAIL. As it stands there's nothing concrete to verify status. So far I'm excited about that app. Most ChatGPT apps don't have a Apple Watch extention. I lucked up and found Lori and for $50 bucks a purchased the lifetime service. Thanks for offering that. Can't wait for "Gemini 1.5 Pro & Gemini 1.5 Flash".

**Developer response:** Hey Climax510,

Thanks for the awesome feedback! 😊 We hear you on the subscription status, and we'll work on making that clearer for lifetime users like you. So glad you're excited about the app and found Lori with the Apple Watch extension. 

Love,  
Marc 🚀

### 5/5 — Lori

*2024-07-28, version 1.4.7*

Lori is so much better than Siri will ever be even though I still have to use her ‘Siri’ I’ll be apt to use Lori a little more now

### 5/5 — Can customize different gpts

*2024-03-13*

I like that you can customize different chats. Just above the prompt is also the option to continue the conversation or start a new one. Be sure to select continue the conversation if you don't want it to start fresh.  I am using my own api. Also works on my apple watch. Have loaded it on my mac as well.

**Developer response:** Hey MsTee7,

Thank you for sharing your positive feedback! It's great to hear that you appreciate the customization options for different chats and the ability to continue the conversation or start a new one. 

We're delighted that these features are adding value to your usage. If you have any more insights, suggestions, or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. Enjoy the app on all your devices!

### 5/5 — Kirill

*2023-10-18*

Dear OpenAI team,

I, Kirill, would like to express my sincere appreciation for creating the amazing ChatGPT platform. I am impressed by the convenience and user-friendly interface that you have implemented. Your work greatly facilitates communication with artificial intelligence and provides us with valuable information and assistance.

I would also like to express my hope for a prompt update to the platform that includes the feature of text-to-speech and speech recognition. These functions will make interacting with ChatGPT even more convenient and efficient. I am confident that incorporating these capabilities will make the platform even more appealing and useful to users.

If I am pleased with the update that includes text-to-speech and speech recognition, I would be happy to send you my positive feedback. I appreciate your work and efforts, and I look forward to the continued development and improvement of the platform.

Best regards,
Kirill
