### 5/5 — 功能非常简洁方便

*2026-01-23*

能不能升级一下可以支持上传文字和图片功能感谢然后再做一个， 预定参数设定也就是说 自定义讲话风格 我发文字进去 然后就是一个专家 感谢

### 4/5 — 请加入中文支持

*2025-11-05*

请加入中文

### 5/5 — Brilliant, but would love this feature… ->

*2025-10-15, version 1.9.0*

This works perfectly, and if you select voice recognition it types what you say and you can send it, you can also select the reply and get it to speak back to you. Better still would be if this was automated. Switch on voice recognition and send any text after 3 seconds of silence. Then read aloud the reply, then switch back to listening mode. Great App, none the less !

### 5/5 — Wicked cool

*2025-09-01*

Learned a ton from setting this up and running everything locally. Great stuff! Keep it up!

### 5/5 — Has all it needs

*2025-08-19*

Useful for everyone with selfhosted models. Works perfectly with ollama. Most people who struggle have a skill issue. If you're willing to put some effort into your setup, this works really well.

### 1/5 — Hardwired to Ollama, doesn’t work with LLM Studio

*2025-08-09, version 1.8.3*

Despite LLM Studio being Open AI compatible, Enchanted fails to talk with it. I don’t know the reasons why, but I’m not going to duplicate over 100GB worth of models on disk just to run ollama, when my LLM Studio server is running fine with other applications.

### 3/5 — Good enough

*2025-08-09, version 1.8.3*

Timeout not configurable, cannot accept stream in background, cannot accept files with share button from other app. Great if fixed

### 4/5 — Works very well

*2025-08-09*

The only annoying thing is that it keeps scrolling while the text is being streamed, which makes it impossible to read while it isn’t finished.

### 4/5 — Works well with my Mac Mini M1 hosted Llama3

*2025-07-31, version 1.8.3*

The app was easy to setup and works quite well. It’s got the ability to use text to speech and to read the reply aloud if you manually select those options. 

What would be better would be if the text to speech was triggered by a phrase, ended after say 3 seconds of not speaking, then automatically read out the reply.

Also the speech recognised text, after it’s been sent and you start replying, the original text reappears in the input box, that should be cleared after it’s sent.

But it’s a very promising App !

### 3/5 — Good start but lacking features

*2025-07-04, version 1.8.3*

IOS feature is limited.  No upload files, tts, stt, RAG, generate image.
