What's New in FlowDown

5.1.0

August 12, 2026

We removed outdated logic that was designed for older models, so everything works better with the latest improvements. You will notice a faster, more reliable experience right away as we significantly improved performance. We also fixed several hangs that could happen during MCP tool calls, so your requests complete smoothly without getting stuck. We hope you enjoy this release.

User reviews

Very confusing and wrong AI

Appreciate that it’s free but it breaks often and is totally confidently wrong all the time so is useless

Too cumbersome to configure

The settings & configuration UI needs work. I’ve been trying lots of different chat UI tools, and this is the first I’ve come across that wants me to manually configure JSON just to add a provider API key.

配置新模型的体验极其糟糕

这是我用过的同类 app 中配置模型方式最不直观,最难用的,App 本身的功能也就那样,没有特别出彩的地方,但是配置体验真的烂到家了,新手别买,花钱是小事,纯粹给自己添堵

Near perfect

This has almost every feature I want in an AI client: fluid interface, no lag with long conversations, attachment support, web lookup, voice transcription, iCloud sync and even a pretty usable memory feature.

My only complaint is that it’s a bit complicated to add new models. If you are tech-literate, it shouldn’t be too much of a challenge. But it could be easier.

Other than that, it’s perfect.

Hi. Thanks for the great review! We're excited to let you know the iCloud sync you asked for is now available. Just update to version 3.7+ on iOS 17 or newer to get started. We hope you love it.
