## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Comes out in Asian language

*2026-08-27*

I was so excited to try this app. Once downloaded, went to use “the internet” (AI chatbot) and the replies come out in Japanese language. I tried updating but still the same as of this morning 8/27/26. I went ahead and deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Fine but

*2026-07-27*

Keyboard clips — windows don't move and keyboard clips the enter button. 5 minute fix. Once complete I will delete my review.

**Developer response:** You can keep your 1 star review but delete my app. 
My apps aren’t meant for people like you.

### 3/5 — Cool idea but execution is lacking

*2026-07-29*

The browser doesn’t open.

I’m also not able to select which model I want to use from the api provider. 

I added the Kimi api which shows 4 models, but I can’t select which one I want to use. It defaults to K2.6

I like the idea but hope these issues are fixed

### 4/5 — Fun with bugs

*2026-05-14*

Fun for nostalgia but if you enable a glitchy model you’ll have to uninstall and restart due to a start loop. The built in Smol works great so keep with that. I tried Nemotron that gave me a desktop error due to MoE support, Mistral, which causes full unrecoverable app crash, and a Qwen 3 variant. Same crash unfortunately.

**Developer response:** Hey de Light, do you remember which local model caused the crash?

### 5/5 — Delightfully refreshing!

*2026-07-30*

So depending on your iPhone model, this will run different for different people, but I absolutely love this app!!!!

### 5/5 — Fun and interesting

*2026-07-30*

Really unique way to interact with local AI models. Creative and artistic app with pragmatic applications

### 5/5 — Like a kid again

*2026-07-26*

I literally squealed with joy on opening this app and clicking around, hearing the sounds. I’ve done a lot of windows 98 themed graphic work but this takes the cake. Only problem for me so far (on iPhone) is that when you tap in the web browser window, the app crashes. You can click in the address bar and type, but just not the actual window. At least, for me anyway¯\_(ツ)_/¯ keep it up!

**Developer response:** You’re welcome. I’m glad you liked my app. 
I was able to reproduce the browser bug. I’ll get it fixed in the next version.

### 5/5 — Fun little app

*2026-06-16*

I really like being able to use my local endpoints! Unfortunately it doesn’t work well with the endpoint my Hermes-agent exposes, but it works using raw LLM endpoints.

**Developer response:** I haven’t used Hermes yet. I’ll see if I can get it to work.

### 5/5 — My favorite AI app

*2026-04-07*

This has become my go-to AI app with Groq api

### 5/5 — 5 Stars But with it was available for older devices

*2026-04-06*

Make available for older devices 🙏🏼

### 5/5 — Stellar!

*2026-04-02*

Please add more Easter eggs! This is honestly the coolest app I currently have on my phone.

Also just for giggles. Find a way to add clippy and some working programs to emulate. Some old windows games would be dope!

**Developer response:** Bro, I added clippy and also a picture viewer!

### 5/5 — Could it be?

*2026-03-29*

Locally ran and ability to call apis to locally hosted or cloud llms. It feels so right and is a joy to use.

### 5/5 — I like it

*2026-03-28*

Tons of potential
