Great!
Works well!
Great app
The openwebui web app itself is pretty good. This native app is an improvement. Updated very frequently as seen from gh. Thank you
Conversation Sync Issues
Overall works well. The thing that needs to be fixed is the conversation sync with the server. I delete from the open webui interface then go to the app and it is still there. When I go to delete it errors out and the app goes black.
fixed bug
developer fixed the bug in the new release
The best OWU Client
I use this app on 4 different devices, android and iOS and it’s smooth, responsive and has all the features I need from a mobile client (including self hosted STT). Thank you for all the great updates!
Fantastic, simple, clean
This is helping me transition over to using my self-hosted OpenWebUI instance over ChatGPT. The official PWA was just too clunky. This is just what I needed to take back ownership of my data.
Good iOS port of Open WebUI
So far I am mostly pleased with this iOS version. The only thing I would recommend is the ability to add more than one connection. I would like the ability to connect locally and through Tailscale away from home.
Works perfectly
Fantastic job developing this companion app for OpenWebUI. It works beautifully and it’s updated constantly.
Great little app kudos to the creator
I have been looking for an app that allows for easy access to openwebui and this app fits the bill. It allows a local instance to be connected to and managed in a familiar UI without the hassle of running it directly. It’s also compatible with token based url access for self hosted setups. It’s being proactively worked on and I am glad I took the plunge to buy it, which is more reasonably priced than the alternatives.

Zu viele Bugs
Ich finde die Idee super. Aber es gibt einfach zu viele Bugs. Wenn ich den Chat Verlauf nach oben scrolle, hüpfe ich auf einmal im Verlauf in andere Nachrichten. Hat vielleicht was mit dem nachladen der messages in die view zu tun?
Sprach chat funktioniert nicht gut. Ich sehe zum Beispiel nicht, wenn es eine exception im Hintergrund gibt. Der Call kringelt fleißig weiter.
Die App verbraucht dabei Ultra viel Akku, das iPhone wird so warm, dass die Bildschirmhelligkeit reduziert wird.
Ist ja Open Source, ich hoffe ich kann ein paar Beiträge leisten, weil die Idee super ist. 4€ einmal Kauf ist nicht viel, hätte aber erwartet, dass es etwas ausgereifter ist. Aber der Developer Account bei Apple muss halt finanziert werden.

Bitte aktualisieren Sie auf Version 3.1.2. Die Leistung sollte auf der ganzen Linie viel besser sein. Und ja, es ist vollständig Open-Source, also zögern Sie nicht, GitHub-Probleme zu erstellen, damit ich einen Blick darauf werfen und sie beheben kann!
Performance optimization needed for iOS
I’ve been using this app on both Android and iOS, and I’ve noticed that the iOS version feels significantly less smooth. The frame rate is noticeably lower, and there’s some stuttering during navigation. It’s a great app, but the experience on iPhone isn't as fluid as it is on Android yet. Hope the team can optimize the performance and fix the lag in the next update!

3.0 shipped with optimisations and native goodness. It will feel snappier!
Works really well
For the most part it works really well. Kudos to the dev.
Feedback to improve:
1. The scroll feels janky. It’s not snappy as Claude app.
2. Sometimes the app crashes.
Please fix the above to make this a really great product.

Thank you for the review! Please upgrade to 3.0, it's much snappier with native goodness now :)
Good app. Wishing for a bit more features
The app itself is very simple and clean to use. A lot of the features or options in OWUI are missing (as expected) but I do wish there was at least an option to add a system prompt (like in OWUI). Slash prompts are okay but system prompts seem a lot more effective as they are pinned and cannot be overridden. I’d give the app a 5 if the feature was there. But until then I might stick to using OWUI as a web app instead.

You now add/update system prompts right from the app. Please upgrade :)
We need that Swift rewrite
It works… but it is super choppy and slow on my iPad Pro m1 and iPhone 15pm.
Response from developer
Please test the 3.0 release, eager to hear how it feels!
Can’t connect, no useful error
I put in my URL (exact same URL as I use in the browser) and it simply says “Couldn't connect. Double-check the address and try again.”
If the Dev can resolve and I can actually use it, I’ll change the review.

Response from developer
Sorry about that! In the latest 3.0 release it will exactly tell you what the error is instead of the canned message. If you still don't find it useful, please open a GitHub issue and I'll take a look!
Amazing app
It runs smoothly and is easy to setup if your Open WebUI is setup correctly. The devs did an amazing job! My only wish is that web search would stay on all the time. It’s gets disabled every time I close and reopen the app.
Response from developer
Thanks for the review! It should now be fixed.
Poorly optimised
Runs poorly on iPhone 13. Overheats my phone. Frame rate drops to 30fps.
Response from developer
Please upgrade to 3.0. It took a while but this one should feel much snappier!
Good but forgets custom headers
My server is behind Cloudflare zero trust and I use service credential headers to authenticate. These are supported but the app forgets them so they have to be constantly recopied, which is a pain.
Excellent option for the local hosts
I have access to a pretty beefy server, but didn’t really use it from my phone because the mobile PWA is goofy.
I like that this app collects no data, and surfaces your models very easily.
There’s a good chunk of settings that are omitted in OWUI, but that reduction is what makes this so clean.
Nice work, thank you for keeping it simple.

Thanks for the review! It's intentionally minimal so OpenWebUI can be used by a wider audience! Advanced features have been added and more will be added but keeping minimalism and good UX in mind always!
