### 4/5 — Conversation Sync Issues

*2026-07-15, version 3.4.3*

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.

### 4/5 — Good iOS port of Open WebUI

*2026-06-26, version 3.3.1*

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.

### 3/5 — Dipped in quality recently

*2026-06-07, version 3.2.0*

I miss native apps

### 5/5 — Performance optimization needed for iOS

*2026-05-17*

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!

**Developer response:** 3.0 shipped with optimisations and native goodness. It will feel snappier!

### 4/5 — Works really well

*2026-05-13*

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.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review! Please upgrade to 3.0, it's much snappier with native goodness now :)

### 4/5 — Good app. Wishing for a bit more features

*2026-05-10, version 2.6.8*

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.

### 5/5 — We need that Swift rewrite

*2026-05-07*

It works… but it is super choppy and slow on my iPad Pro m1 and iPhone 15pm.

**Developer response:** Please test the 3.0 release, eager to hear how it feels!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-04-09, version 2.6.4*

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.

### 3/5 — Good but forgets custom headers

*2026-03-20, version 2.5.6*

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.

### 4/5 — Excellent option for the local hosts

*2026-03-19, version 2.5.6*

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.

### 3/5 — Gut, aber STT funktioniert nicht

*2026-03-14*

Tolle App, die ich täglich nutze! Leider funktioniert die Sprache-zu-Text-Funktion nicht bei mir - ein Klick auf das Mikrofon-Icon gibt nur ein haptisches Feedback, dann passiert nichts mehr. Ich hoffe, das wird in einem der nächsten Updates behoben.

**Developer response:** Das sollte nicht mehr passieren, bitte aktualisieren Sie und lassen Sie mich wissen, ob es immer noch passiert!

### 2/5 — Läuft nicht mit 120 FPS

*2026-03-07*

Könnte flüssiger sein

**Developer response:** Bitte aktualisieren Sie auf 3.0. Es hat eine Weile gedauert, aber dieser sollte sich viel bissiger anfühlen!

### 5/5 — Fixed my bugs

*2026-03-06, version 2.5.2*

Bug fixed on GitHub issue

### 4/5 — So far pretty good

*2026-03-06, version 2.5.2*

Great to have. One minor bug report, the session resets randomly so you might to re-login. One feedback, maybe make the iPad version additional space to write notes, comments for the end user after each feedback I.e. allow the end user to annotate. But so far it’s great until I find more bugs or feedback.

### 2/5 — Werkzeuge ohne Funktion

*2026-03-05*

Leider funktionieren alle hinterlegten und aktivierten Werkzeuge nicht, im Browser gehen sie

**Developer response:** Die meisten Fehler sollten behoben werden, bitte aktualisieren Sie!

### 4/5 — Just Works!

*2026-03-03, version 2.4.4*

Routing from my iPhone using Tailscale to Conduit and OpenWeb UI on my server I’ve had very stable results.  Some rendering issues with choosing a specific knowledge base in OpenWeb but sure that is a bug on their end for mobile.

### 1/5 — Can’t connect, no useful error

*2026-04-12, version 2.6.4*

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.

### 1/5 — Poorly optimised

*2026-04-05, version 2.6.4*

Runs poorly on iPhone 13. Overheats my phone. Frame rate drops to 30fps.

### 1/5 — Can’t paste

*2026-03-12, version 2.5.4*

Not usable. Can’t paste in any field or the app crashes

### 1/5 — An sich nett aber Einschränkungen wenn man api keys von openwebui arbeitet

*2026-01-16*

Ich hab zwei openwebui Instanzen laufen. In der einen sind Modelle die über Aws/azure/ollama laufen in der anderen keine. Dafür ein api Token der von der anderen Instanz durchgereicht wird. Funktioniert wunderbar, allerdings kann conduit damit nicht umgehen. Er zeigt mir keine Modelle. Das ist leider so nicht zu gebrauchen für mich. Abgesehen davon kostet die iOS Version was und die android Version nicht.

**Developer response:** Die meisten Fehler sollten behoben werden, bitte aktualisieren Sie!

### 1/5 — Works. Doesn’t work. Work. Doesn’t work.

*2025-12-12, version 2.3.5*

Give up on this one. Now it wont even log in anymore.

### 1/5 — Barely works

*2025-11-27*

This app was good a few months ago the ago but since then it barely works. Yesterday, it was stuck at the logo. Now, can’t even login

### 1/5 — App Stopped Loading

*2025-11-25, version 2.2.5*

Stuck at logo, app no longer works

### 1/5 — Bad experience

*2025-11-20, version 2.2.3*

Very bad experience, no result appear!!

### 1/5 — Fairly limited for someone selling a compiled version of an open source project.

*2025-09-30, version 1.1.6*

I really don’t have a problem with people selling packaged open source code, but I do expect it to at least work. This app doesn’t. Connected to my instance fine. But simple features like a STT/TTS conversion mode are completely absent. The text chat interface fails after 2 or 3 interactions. Like wait til the project you’re trying to make money off is mature before you charge $5 per person for essentially downloading and compiling someone else’s work.

### 2/5 — Zu viele Bugs

*2026-05-24*

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.

**Developer response:** 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!

### 5/5 — Great native App for OWUI

*2026-08-09, version 4.0.3*

I have to admit this app is great, and this is coming from someone who has forked OWUI with patches for niche cases. If your looking to experience Open WebUI on what feels like a native iOS application then this is what you want, worth the money

### 5/5 — This is the one

*2026-08-07, version 4.0.3*

What a great and beautiful app. I have been searching for an app that would act as a mobile front end for Hermes and this IS IT!! I did not feel comfortable using Telegram, Slack or others for Hermes. I wanted to keep my infrastructure contained. This was worth the money and I’m very happy. Will be donating here and there too, so this project stays alive.

Great work dev

### 5/5 — Works Great!

*2026-08-06, version 4.0.2*

Fantastic vllm + openwebui solution

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-08-02, version 4.0.0*

Works well!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-30*

The openwebui web app itself is pretty good. This native app is an improvement. Updated very frequently as seen from gh. Thank you

### 5/5 — fixed bug

*2026-07-13, version 3.4.3*

developer fixed the bug in the new release

### 5/5 — The best OWU Client

*2026-07-01, version 3.3.1*

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!

### 5/5 — Fantastic, simple, clean

*2026-06-30, version 3.3.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Works perfectly

*2026-06-11, version 3.3.0*

Fantastic job developing this companion app for OpenWebUI. It works beautifully and it’s updated constantly.

### 5/5 — Great little app kudos to the creator

*2026-06-10*

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.
