## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Chat doesn’t work in iPad

*2025-08-10*

When asking questions about text content on the iPad, there were issues before. Although the answers weren't great, when asking similar questions now, it often responds with: "I couldn't generate an answer. Please try a more specific question."

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and for reporting this issue! 
That issue on iPad was fixed about two months ago, so everything should work smoothly again with the latest version. 
We really appreciate you helping us catch it, if it’s working well for you now, we’d be grateful if you could update your review.

### 2/5 — Added a new model, Gemini 2.5 Pro, which should have better OCR and answer quality

*2025-11-14, version 1.3.1*

Besides ChatGPT5?, it is suggested to add a new model, Gemini 2.5 Pro, in the settings, as the latter should have better OCR capabilities.
After importing certain books, the current OCR recognition effect of ChatGPT 5? is not good. The chatbot indicates that the book text is messy, and it cannot find the specified chapter and summarize the content of that chapter, let alone accurately extract the chapter subtitles and the corresponding content of the titles.

### 2/5 — Dateiimport schwach

*2025-10-05, version 1.2.7*

Ich habe die App als Testversion, also angeblich mit vollem Funktionsumfang, installiert. Ich habe es in einer Stunde geschafft, sechs PDFs aus der DateienApp in DMS zu importieren. Danach war Schluss. Mehr ging nicht. Die Meldung das es 3-5 Sekunden für die Verarbeitung braucht, ist das Einzige, was man sieht…. und zwar minutenlang… ohne Ergebnis. Von daher für mich nicht zu gebrauchen. Wurde wieder deinstalliert.

### 4/5 — Hope the previous global Chat settings are restored

*2025-11-12, version 1.3.1*

The app is continuously improving, and the quality of text conversations has greatly improved compared to before. I hope the app's OCR capabilities continue to improve, and the previous global Chat settings are restored.

### 5/5 — Gute App

*2025-10-26, version 1.2.9*

Ich habe schon viele solcher Apps ausprobiert, diese hebt sich aber wirklich ab. Habe den Pro Features ausprobiert. Die automatische Erkennung funktioniert und spart mir viel Zeit, braucht man aber nicht. Meine Empfehlung an alle, die endlich Ordnung in ihr Papierstapel Chaos bringen wollen. Eine super App.

### 5/5 — Personalized chat

*2025-08-10, version 1.2.3*

I'm glad to upgrade to the universal version, and here are some suggestions. In the settings, provide a global option for personalized chat, allowing users to state their preferences. For example, "I am a university student and need to reply in Chinese," "I like concise and clear summaries," "I want detailed and in-depth answers," and so on.

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-07-29*

Great, I hope to upgrade to the universal version as soon as possible.

### 5/5 — Sehr gute App!

*2025-07-28, version 1.2.0*

Die App ist wirklich sehr gut. Lokale KI, viele Funktionen, aber nicht überfüllt. Genau das, was ich gesucht habe! Was ich noch verbessern würde wäre die Einbindung für andere Storage Backends wie z.B. S3, WebDAV etc. und die Möglichkeit die App zu übersetzen ansonsten ist sie wirklich gut! Ich kann sie jedem empfehlen, der eine DMS Plattform sucht

### 5/5 — The Documents Manager Feature Apple missed.

*2025-07-27, version 1.1.9*

This app should be a default iOS app. It helps you do anything with your documents within the same app and you can get through your day as if you were sitting down at your computer desk to achieve some tasks without wasting time. Perfect for office workers, student moms, organized junkies, and anybody who wishes to be able to do anything on their phone instead of sitting down at their laptop.

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2025-03-28, version 1.1.2*

Die App hat mir in vielen Bereichen der Dokumentation die Arbeit erleichtert. Rückmeldung wird direkt eingearbeitet!
