Awesome
Really hoping for Linux support🤞
Response from developer
Thanks for the review! Really happy to hear you’re enjoying it and feel it’s worth it. As for Linux support – I’d love to get there someday. Right now I’m focused on improving the Mac version, but it’s definitely something I’ve thought about. Appreciate the support!
Slow
Not clear about needing money
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback – there is a 3-day free trial shown before subscribing, but I agree it should be clearer earlier in the setup. I’ll improve that so there’s no confusion.
Lekh AI
I had higher hopes for it.
Response from developer
Thanks for the honest feedback – performance can vary depending on the model and device. I’m actively improving this with each update, especially on newer hardware.
There is a bug
Response from developer
Thanks for reporting this – definitely sounds like a bug, especially on iPad Pro M4. The model should work after download. I’ll look into this and push a fix soon. In the meantime, try restarting the app or re-downloading the model.
First impressions
Response from developer
Thank you so much, Francois – really appreciate you taking the time to share this 🙏 That’s exactly what I was aiming for with Lekh: something powerful, flexible, and still completely usable offline when it matters most. You’re absolutely right – having a private, on-device backup (especially when connectivity isn’t reliable) is something more people should think about. If you ever have any suggestions or run into anything, feel free to reach out. Thanks again for the support! 😊
Incredible Value and Features
Response from developer
Thank you so much for this – really appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed review 🙏 It means a lot to hear that the local-first approach, performance, and features are all hitting the mark for you. That balance between power, privacy, and smooth experience is exactly what I’ve been aiming for. Glad you’re enjoying the image and voice features too – there’s a lot more coming soon. If you ever have ideas or feedback, I’d love to hear it! Thanks again for the support
Don’t download this app so bad
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. We’re always working to improve the experience. The app is intentionally priced to stay affordable at $4.99, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
Awesome app!
Response from developer
Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback! The "thinking" behavior actually depends on how the model exposes its reasoning tokens, and Qwen 3.5 4B currently outputs them inline rather than as a separate phase. I’m experimenting with better ways to structure and display this so it feels more transparent and less rushed. Also good catch on the catalog listing – I’ll take a look at that. Thanks for taking the time to share this!
Loved the iOS App and loving the Mac app even more
Top Notch!
Response from developer
Thank you so much for the kind words – this honestly means a lot 🙏 I’m really glad you’re enjoying both the iPhone and macOS versions. Building a powerful fully local AI experience has been a big focus, so it’s awesome to hear it’s delivering for you. If you ever have any suggestions or features you’d love to see next, feel free to reach out – I’m always listening and improving the app based on feedback like yours. Really appreciate the support!
Wow!
Paid Access Weird. Cool app, update fumbled
Apparently some users still have their access, others don’t, and sometimes its just confusing because it will say Lifetime while offering the subscription and Lifetime Payment in the settings, so double payment is possible and kinda shouldn’t be.
Got this before iAP and was still contemplating buying lifetime for $5, because it’s reasonable and aparently the update bungled some things. Found out there may or may not have been mixed promises to prior early users that tried the app before the paywall. I used this with ministral 3b, though I happen to delete chats right after.
$5 really isn’t a lot for a pretty solid app, but it is too much when it could later $10 where the paywalled features shift. Its getting more common.
Response from developer
Hi Bran – I really appreciate you taking the time to write this. I want to clarify something important: early paid users are absolutely not expected to pay again. If you purchased the app when it was $1.99, you are permanently grandfathered in. The recent update introduced the subscription model for new users, and unfortunately there was a restore bug that temporarily affected some early purchasers. That was not intentional, and it has already been fixed. If your access was revoked, please restore purchases again on the latest version – and if it still doesn’t work, email me directly and I’ll make sure it’s resolved. There were no mixed promises – anyone who bought the app before the switch keeps full access. The lifetime option is only for new users who didn’t previously purchase. I completely understand the hesitation around shifting pricing models. I’m an indie developer building this full-time, and moving to subscription was what allows me to continue improving the app (new models, GGUF support, better memory, TTS upgrades, etc.) without compromising quality. That said – early supporters matter to me a lot. You helped make the app what it is. If anything still isn’t working correctly on your end, please reach out and I’ll personally take care of it. Thanks again for being honest about your experience
Paid Access Revoked. Cool app, update fumbled
Scratch all that. Realize this was a paid app for $1.99 and now it’s a subscription and possibly all or a number of those that bought the app are expected (based on the update revoking access) to fund this again.

Ужасно
Response from developer
Я понимаю, почему на первый взгляд может показаться именно так, но хочу прояснить ситуацию. Когда приложение изначально было платным, все, кто его купил в тот период, навсегда сохранили за собой право повторной оплаты. От вас не ожидается повторной оплаты, и никакие функции не были намеренно убраны у платных пользователей. Недавнее изменение сделало приложение бесплатным для скачивания с возможностью внутриигровых покупок для новых пользователей в будущем. Это позволяет большему количеству людей попробовать его, поддерживая при этом дальнейшую разработку. После обновления возникла временная проблема с восстановлением, которая затронула некоторых первых покупателей, и я прекрасно понимаю, насколько это может быть неприятно. Эта ошибка исправлена. Если с вас снова списали деньги или вы потеряли доступ, пожалуйста, свяжитесь со мной напрямую, и я позабочусь о том, чтобы проблема была решена должным образом. У меня не было абсолютно никакого намерения «обмануть» первых сторонников. Как независимый разработчик, я считаю, что люди, купившие приложение на раннем этапе, — это причина его существования сегодня, и я отношусь к этому серьезно. Если у вас что-то конкретное не работает, дайте мне знать, и я помогу.
Why
And now want to subscribe
Response from developer
Hi If you previously purchased the app when it was a paid download, you are automatically grandfathered in and do not need a subscription. There was a temporary bug in the latest update that incorrectly showed the paywall to some existing users. That issue has now been fixed. Please update to the latest version of the app and it should unlock automatically or you can click on restore purchases. Just to clarify: downloading the app now (after it became free with trial) is not considered a previous purchase. Only users who bought it when it was a paid app are grandfathered in. If you’re still having trouble after updating, please DM me and I’ll sort it out right away
False info page
Response from developer
Hi – thanks for the feedback. The app originally launched as a paid download with no subscription. Recently, it was changed to a free download with a 3-day trial and optional subscription, which is clearly listed on the App Store under In-App Purchases. There was also a short-lived bug that affected the paywall display, but that has been fixed. If you previously purchased the app when it was paid, you are automatically grandfathered in and do not need to subscribe. I understand subscription fatigue is real – I’m a solo developer and I’m trying to balance keeping the app sustainable while still offering an affordable option. I genuinely appreciate you giving it a look.
I'm already purchased it
Robust
Response from developer
Thank you so much for this – it really means a lot. I’ve put a ton of care into making the setup clear and giving users flexibility with different AI models, so hearing that it feels versatile and smooth is incredibly encouraging. Appreciate you taking the time to write this. More improvements coming soon 🙏
4B vl or. Any other model short context bug
Response from developer
Thank you so much for the kind words – seriously, this made my day 🙏❤️ I’m really glad you’re enjoying the app. You’re absolutely right that model conversion is a huge barrier, especially without access to a PC. A flow where you can import a custom model and have the app automatically handle Core ML conversion is something I’ve been thinking about, and feedback like this really reinforces how valuable that would be. LoRA support is also a highly requested feature and especially important for creators like you – being able to load, manage, and apply LoRAs cleanly is very much on the roadmap. Support for newer models like z image turbo, SD 3.5 Medium, and Flux Klein 4B is something I’m actively tracking as well, though some of these depend on format compatibility and on-device performance constraints. That said, expanding model support is a top priority. Also, huge respect for being a LoRA creator – Aetheric Rendering Style is a sick name, and I’ll definitely check it out on CivitAI 👀✨ Thanks again for the enthusiasm and the suggestions. Feedback like this genuinely helps steer development, and there’s a lot more coming 😁🚀
