Locking model access behind a paywall goes too far

I understand charging for extra features, but putting access to freely available models like Gemma 4 12B behind a paywall goes too far. Simply using a model on my own hardware shouldn’t require a paid upgrade. Charge for added functionality, but let users choose which models they run. Sorry but 1 star from me

This version is borked

The bots messages are hidden (bug), you can only see the reasoning/thinking in a popup box when you press "edit" on the bots answer. Literally not working, can't see the actual response, just that. Thanks anyways, it worked great. EDIT 5.11.2026: Looks like the chats are being spied on, my witty nick gets censored and thinking/reasoning vanished w/o a trace in the GUI. Yet another loser dev scared of me! /shrugs Use the alternatives, people. The uncensored alternatives.

Not great

The app works sometimes. It kind of runs models it can access. They stall out more than they work. On top of that the MLX folder import function is completely broken. If this worked as advertised instead of throwing errors and doing nothing else, this would be a 5 star review.

Response from developer

You are right, it was broken and I have fixed & pushed a new version for it. Please update. If there are any other issues, there is an active support section under settings, I'll be really happy to quickly resolve the issues you face.

Wenn es funktionieren würde…

Die Idee ist gut. Dafür 2 Sterne. Ich entwickle aber lieber meine eigene Lösung weiter, da LM Mini selbst mit den kleinsten Modellen auf dem iPhone 15Pro abstürzt. Erst sollte eine App funktionieren bevor man sogar eine Pro-Version anbietet. Soll mit der App nur Geld verdient werden oder auch etwas geleistet werden? Echt schade.

Response from developer

Falls es zu einem Absturz kommt, melde dies bitte unter „Einstellungen“ -> „Support“ – ich werde mich dann schnellstmöglich darum kümmern. Da die App zudem Open Source ist, kannst du den Fehler bei Bedarf auch selbst beheben. Mein Ziel ist es, den Großteil der App kostenlos anzubieten. Es wäre sehr hilfreich, wenn du ein Ticket mit weiteren Details zum Absturz erstellen würdest, damit ich diesen nachvollziehen kann. Vielen Dank!

Solid app!

Works flawlessly with my local LM Studio server. Really cool also being able to load up and play with small models right on-device as well.

Highly recommend enabling “Low battery mode” under “Appearance”
in the settings, as at least on my iPhone 15 Pro Max using it with that off and the “glass effects” enabled drains the battery like I’m running a full 3D game just chatting with a model on my local server! Swapping those toggles made a night and day difference.

I don’t mind being limited to manually loading a single local model on the free version, but please please please let us do the same single manual load with an mlx model!

Response from developer

Thank you, I am glad you liked it. I'll add MLX model too, you can import MLX from Files app too. If you have more suggestion please user Support and Feature Request under Settings.
