### 4/5 — 请加入中文支持

*2025-11-05*

请加入中文

### 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.

### 2/5 — Couldn’t configure

*2025-06-07, version 1.7.2*

I have a local LLM running via LMStudio on my network. There really isn’t much help with configuration and the settings screen is minimal. Trying various URL’s to connect to my local instance, no error messages and no connection. This may be a great app but I couldn’t figure out how to get it configured.

### 3/5 — Request Timeout Not Configurable

*2025-05-23, version 1.8.3*

see title

### 2/5 — Not really good even for the basics …

*2025-04-30*

Doesnt support styling via <think> … no proper reasoning, slow UI refresh, absolutely no features besides it being a “Mac App”.

### 2/5 — Love completions but the rest is meh

*2025-04-27, version 1.7.2*

The app offers completions which can be manually expanded, which can be a god sent. Unfortunately, that’s the only upside. The most annoying bit is that the input field always loses focus when the LLM renders its output, which means the user always has to click on the input field first to be able to type a new request, which makes it painful to have a flowing conversation. Then there’s other basic stuff, such as the poor contrast between grey background and grey text in light mode. Or the fact that there’s no interface to manage LLMs in Ollama. And why this requires an iCloud account to download is beyond me. Back to Ollama Swift for me since it works better in every aspect.

### 4/5 — Works Well, Would Love to See Additions

*2025-04-07, version 1.8.3*

It works well, and does what you expect. I would love to see Enchanted:

- Support keyboard shortcuts on the iPad (CMD-N; CMD-,; etc.).

- Allow for multiple end-points to switch between different models. This would allow switching between devices (different IP addresses) and models (ports, for example different RAG servers on one device).

- Sync chat history using iCloud (iPad, Mac, iPhone all with the same chat history).

- Better behavior when screen locks on iPhone/iPad (not just throwing a raw network error).

Would be happy to pay for these enhancements.

### 4/5 — Some bugs

*2025-03-15*

软件很精美！但当软件切换到后台时，会停止generate 并显示 “ URLSessionTask failed with error: The network connection was lost.”希望能解决！

### 3/5 — Good enough

*2025-03-08, version 1.7.2*

Not exactly feature-rich but it supports simple text chatting. I was hoping it hooked into Siri/Shortcuts to be able to run automations or shortcuts through my LLM but it does not.

### 3/5 — Crash de puis le passage en Mac OS X 15.3.1

*2025-03-05*

Crash en boucle soit à cause du passage en 15.3.1 soit de la nouvelle version de Ollama

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-03-02, version 1.7.2*

How the heck do I pay you!

### 4/5 — Great. Missing one feature

*2025-02-28, version 1.7.2*

I wish I could change the text size. Great app otherwise.

### 5/5 — Best AI tool!

*2025-02-26*

Completions are super awesome. I can add my own custom prompts and assign keyboard shortcuts for them, which work in any app. Although the app occasionally crashes a few times a week, I still give it 5 stars. Hope this issue gets fixed soon. It would be perfect if we could change the font size too.

### 5/5 — Completions Completions Completions

*2025-02-21, version 1.7.2*

Deserves 5 stars for the “Completions” feature alone.

### 5/5 — Ollama 구동에 매우 좋습니다

*2025-02-12*

Ollama 전용 GUI 중에 최고네요. 복잡한 과정 없이 실행할 수 있어서 좋습니다. 앱 켜자마자 설치해둔 로컬 모델 목록이 쫙 떠서 놀랐네요 ㅎㅎ
다만 tts 기능은 아쉽습니다. tts는 거의 못 알아들을 정도라서 다른 모델로 교체되었으면 합니다.
UI도 깔끔하고, 기능도 있을 건 다 있는데에 더해 완전 무료라서 만족하며 사용 중입니다.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 1/5 — Too many bugs

*2025-03-07, version 1.7.2*

This software has not been updated for a long time, many bugs have not been fixed, and many functions are missing.

### 1/5 — Projet abandonné

*2025-01-22*

EDIT: Projet abandonné

L’application est très légère par rapport aux applications Electron du marché qui bouffent une tonne de mémoire rien que pour afficher un simple chat. De ce point de vue Enchanted est très intéressante. Mais il lui manque quelques fonctionnalités indispensables.

Au minimum il faudrait pouvoir renommer les chats. Mieux encore il faudrait pouvoir les organiser comme on le souhaite. J’utilise des LLM pour des tâches variées. Associer un modèle particulier à une conversation particulière serait un gain de temps appréciable.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, needs update.

*2025-01-09, version 1.7.2*

It says to update in Settings and I’ve got no idea how to do that, it isn’t intuitive. So the app is useless until being update. How??

### 1/5 — bugs

*2024-11-08*

the entire response isn't showing, seems cut in between

### 1/5 — Very simple ui but you can’t submit anything

*2024-10-10, version 1.7.2*

As the title suggests, you can’t submit anything after typing it in.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2024-10-01*

Läuft nicht mit Ollama

### 1/5 — Could have been good

*2024-07-25, version 1.7.2*

Doesn't truly delete conversations. They are still stored in an unencrypted file default.store-wal in the Containers folder. That file continues to accumulate conversations that users believe were deleted.

Also the shortcuts to summarise or complete selected text isn't good. It replaces selected text.

### 1/5 — Needs more work

*2024-07-02, version 1.7.2*

Kept crashing the server. It was a docker container but the whole server crashed

### 1/5 — No Scrolling

*2024-04-28*

A very basic thing like scrolling is not working, If that would have been working, it would have been 5 starts as everything else works.

Only way to move through the conversation, is to mark the text and then hope you find what you were looking for

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 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

### 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, version 1.9.0*

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.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-05-28, version 1.8.3*

Powerful software. Use only for good.

### 5/5 — At first I wasn't able to get a response turns out I entered the wrong Port

*2025-05-05, version 1.8.3*

User error memorandum check Port 😂

### 5/5 — Great app for LLM

*2025-04-19*

No doubt it’s perfect. But I’d like to be able to attach docs in chat

### 5/5 — Please add the ability to send messages with the Enter key

*2025-04-09*

I wish I could send messages using the Enter key when using the Magic Keyboard on my iPad.

### 5/5 — It just works

*2025-03-28, version 1.8.3*

I looked around on the App Store for a while to find a LLM app that doesn’t force their own sucky LLM on you. I finally found this and it just works great. The only changes I would want would for the app the handle “thinking” models better and for support for function calls. Great app, does everything that it says it will.

### 5/5 — Slick chat app

*2025-03-22, version 1.8.3*

I have switched to using this app on my phone and find it quick and stable. Not quite as rich as open webui but great on the phone!
