Stopped working after updates

This app used to work perfectly fine on my iPhone 8 Plus running iOS 16.7.16. I've had it since July, but it now immediately crashes after showing the splash screen.

I've already tried reinstalling the app, clearing its data, restarting my phone, and removing my LM Studio models. I have plenty of free storage (~25 GB), and the freshly installed app only shows 283 KB of Documents & Data.

I'm currently on LM Mini 1.9.10. I didn't manually update it, so I suspect an automatic update may have introduced an incompatibility with older iPhones/iOS 16. Please look into this, because the app previously worked on this exact device.

Quickly jammed with garbage

I was using this app as a super simple front end to lmstudio server, it seemed to be one of the better apps for that purpose. I put it down for a couple weeks and come back and it’s now jammed with subscription prompts in every corner and a bunch of unnecessary features like personas used to upsell the subscription. They take up space and can’t be hidden if you just want basic usage.

Unfortunately in the age of llm coded apps it’s all too easy to ruin the experience chasing money. Someone should make an app that can be bought once that just chats against lm studio/completions api. They’d have at least one purchase right here!

The Developer seals the deal

This app isn't the "perfect" LM Studio app, and there's definitely room for improvement, but let me tell you why I actually pay for Pro.

The developer actually cares.

He responds to feature requests, bug reports, and doesn't spent months between updates. You can tell this is a passion project by the regular and meaningful updates. Sure there's some bugs here or there, sure some things could be added, but as of this writing (July 22 2026), you won't find a better value, better compatibility, better communication or overall better experience on a native iOS app. Trust me I've looked.

I use mostly local LLMs via ollama initially and LMStudio after, and now use open router as well. This app handles them all better than any other.

Even on just the free version, this app as of this writing is 10x better than Locally (LM Studio's official app).

The fact that it has speech, TTS, and photo llm handling for both on-model and via remote-local in addition to cloud providers is incredible.

How LMS client should look like

That’s a powerful tool to use with LM Studio. Active development in progress. Kudos to author. I want to see more improvements to image generation with ComfyUI and I’ll definitely buy PRO version, as it became my work-on-the-couch favorite.

Response from developer

Thank you, your positive feedback keeps me going. Please do not hesitate to post requests in the Feature Request and support section about Image generation, I'll try to fulfill as many as humanly possible.

New chat Clutter

Opening a new chat has an extreme excess overflow of screen clutter for no actual reason. I am unable to close my keyboard since I can’t tap on the once empty space to see if there are spelling mistakes or errors due to this annoyance. Please remove the useless scrolling prompts upon new chat creation or at least a toggle to remove them. (They completely erase and rewrite the prompt if they are tapped, even by accident making them a bane.)
