Fixed

Latest update fixed the menu dropdown issue. Much better

One of the best

This is classed with Locally Ai and Pocket Pal and is packed with best on device LLM functionality plus you can import your own gguf models, use voice, use image and use docs. Shortcuts integration is buggy but the app is still 9/10

Need hands free TTS and STT

Voice quality is good but requires manual intervention to send and receive voice. Please add automatic voice TTS and STT response.

The Best

I have tried all the local model apps. This is the only one with such fine control, plus importing custom models. The Siri shortcut functionality is the slam dunk.

Most of the other competitors don’t even get updates anymore. Love to see this one is going strong.

Need no port option+API key

Please have an option for Ollama without a port or the ability to change the OpenAPI URL for my use case.

Response from developer

Hello, if you remove the port from the ollama connection, the url will be formed without a port; the field is not mandatory and can be set to empty. You can also create a new connection with a name that starts with “ollama” and it will make requests compatible with it, again leaving the port empty. I will add more configurations and settings to make this more clear. However if I misunderstood your use case, please let me know and I’ll be happy to help: info@latentlake.com

Pretty good. A few issues.

It’s a good app that I’m using to connect to my LMStudio server at home. It connects well. It streams the response (rather than waiting for it to be finished before output) so that means you don’t get timeouts. It gives you some controls over server settings too, like temperature, etc. I don’t get caught with the whole SSL trap either, like many other apps.

App specific issues are rare. It drops content out of chats if you leave the app and return. It has no user control over colours or appearance.

Bottom line: it’s a good app that seems like the first version. With a few improvements, it could easily be the “go-to” app for this type of thing.

I also tried loading an LLM onto the phone. It worked well enough but I didn’t really push it. I never did figure out how to load my own LLM onto the phone because I didn’t care enough to keep trying. I already have my LMStudio server.

Works really well

I am a full stack developer and recently started working with offline models using OLLAMA and open WebUI, I wanted similar functionality on an iOS device, I must say I am impressed with this gem of an app, you have to play around with it , but once you figure out the RAG part (most important), it ROCKSSS!!!, great app for offline work.. BUY IT 😂😂

Horrible. Worthless.

I just wasted 4.99

Small LLM with RAG on you phone!

Using RAG is simple and most models handle even huge book or many articles well.

Great tool for creators

After tinkering around I seem have got it 🤞🏽Turned out to be exactly what the devs said. I’m on an iPhone 12 Pro Max the app runs smoothly with default or recommended models. Need bigger models? Use remote server to offload your your Mac. I initially wanted a refund but I changed my mind. IF YOU KNOW HOW TO SET IT UP IT REALLY WORKS

Avoid this and look elsewhere.

I regret spending a single dollar on Latent Chat. The platform constantly crashes, and none of the models work reliably. Most bots are broken or give errors, and you can’t upload or use your own models – which makes it super limited compared to other platforms.

Even basic functionality like customization or smooth conversation often fails. It’s frustrating and not worth the time or money.

Very broken app

Ya this app backgrounds lm studio streaming but as soon as you leave a chat no more consulting that chat. Start a new one. Oh you were invested in that? Too bad so sad. Did you want image and file input for your local lms? well it doesnt have that either, look somewhere else.

works well, good models range

way better than other local LLM running apps, runs smoothly and has good features. just wish we could set up our own system message input format as eg. Mistral doesn't work with the default one.

Doesn’t work

The app fails to load. I’ve not been able to use it.

One star

Keeps crashing, causes phone to freeze on just even one question.

Best I’ve used

This is an excellent app for on-device LLMs. It functions seamlessly, and its interface is straightforward, polished, and purposeful. The only feature I feel is missing is text-to-speech for the responses.

Needs to be optimized

Beautiful UI just Lacks adjustability should take notes from LLM Farm, but this is the winner once more adjustability is added and theming perhaps ai friends panel etc take it the next step dev!!

cannot load other LLMs

It is great but cannot load LLMs other than the default one! Please fix the bug!

Imposible de iniciar. No funciona.
