Doesn’t work anymore :(

Was really nice but completely stopped working after I was logged out and tried logging in again, where if you even tried logging in it’d give you an error and you couldn’t do anything anymore

Broken and Neglected

As most reviews say, yeah the developers must think this app is garbage and left it there, because it shows. EVERY SINGLE Qwen model is unusable, Deepseek is very buggy, the few models that do work must be tweaked because you need to basically get your prompt to a SCIENCE if you want just a decent response from it, and Ik the models aren’t that bad because if you do use it on some other interface they work fine. The devs really don’t care which is kinda sad with the amount of potential an app like this can have yall should do better.

App isn’t being updated

Seems like they have given up on this app. Using the multiple LLM models, the answers are very poor with other apps with those models performing much better. This app did allow Mistral for instance before they came out with their own app but using the native app is much better.

Useless

Start a chat, delete the chat. Now the app is broken somehow. When you open again, it stuck on loading.

This app is useful for using DeepSeek-R1.

You don’t really need to sign up for DeepSeek to use DeepSeek, but if you just use this app then you can use it without making an account, also you can use it locally. However, Qwen models don’t work at all. It’s incredibly frustrating that every Qwen model is broken. I wish there was iPad UI for this app, it’s inconvenient to use it on iPad.

Great app

This has lots of potential don’t stop updating it

APP needs improvement

1. Request developers to add popular high-availability multi-language open source models.
2. Add two additional features: chat font size increase and one-click return to the bottom and top of the chat window.
Thank you so much!

Do not update!!! Used to be good but abandoned

They basically just took away a majority of features in the app, it use to be amazing but it doesn’t have any of the functionality of before. To me it’s an easy fix to get it integrated but the Developer has obviously abandoned the app.

Qwen models don’t work at all.

It’s incredibly frustrating that every Qwen model is broken.

The word useless comes to mind

This app feels like talking to someone who doesn’t speak your language while wearing noise-canceling headphones. If it misunderstands your question and thinks you’re asking about something illegal, it’s game over. No matter how many times you clarify, clear its memory, or even reinstall it, it’s stuck on that one misunderstanding. You can explain a thousand times, ‘That’s not what I asked,’ and its response will still be, ‘I understand you’re asking about something illegal.’ No, I’m not! Absolutely ridiculous. Honestly, it’s so useless I might as well use Google—and we all know how frustrating Google can be. Once it misunderstands, it’s done. No other questions, no moving forward—just stuck forever. Completely useless.

Amazing - Been using it since inception

Best community ever. Awesome devotees. Supportive. Generous. Efficient. Smart. Honest. Privacy-supporting. Overhauling greedy AI corps that collect, use and sell user private content. For the win. Keep it up, can only keep getting better with. E.g Llama 3.3 makes it that much better.

(Btw, the tools can be glitchy, and AI go a bit mental, but overall very stable and self-improving).

Some suggestions would be:
- improve the document parsing tools
- saving the user prompts for active model across devices/browsers/apps (yes they get cleared)
- ability to upload knowledge and save that custom bot as a whole entire bot (like Poe does)
-bring back the beast, llama 405B! That was fun while it lasted :D

Keep it up. Amazing, and replaces top AI in some tasks and functions. And destroys about 100 newbie-developed 100 AI apps in the App Store lol.

I just haven’t tried the TTS function yet, I doubt it’ll be as good as Microsoft’s or Google’s but I’ll see and update…

Decent app, needs ipad optimizing

Nice app, love huggingface, but please make an iPad version! I’d be willing to spend a couple bucks for it.

5 stars after a usability update

This is amazing and I love the way this will help democratize AI, disrupt the old establishment, and contribute to transparency. It’s a lot more trustworthy when you don’t get scripted responses to certain topics. It’s 2024, and AI has the tools and power to not spew dis/mis info… the big players in the space just want to remain in control of narratives.

This will be my go-to app once there’s a hearty UI/UX update. The chat feels clunkier than competitors, which will probably be the biggest turnoff for the general user. Also, please add a tooltip for explanation / use case for each model.

Sign-up fails

Can’t register. No feedback why.

Dedicated iPad version needed

Works great, the only thing it needs is a dedicated iPad version.

Excellent app just missing key features

Like the title says. It’s a great app and provides access to the standard models available on the web app. I’m giving it 4 stars because it’s missing custom assistants and tool use that are available on the web app.

Stopped working

Please fix! Also, I can’t even use the custom models anymore.

Do not update!!!

They basically just took away a majority of features in the app

love how smart the models got

recently switched to it on desktop too because of the q72 and its the first time i can say i dint rlly need sonnet

ok but needs more function and openness

they got a huge communinity but hardly any of that besides a few community made assistants are on the app for iphone. im not sure if android has more but on here this app is only good for really basic limited ai models selections
