### 2/5 — It’s just “ok”, but the free version is a joke

*2026-08-15*

It’s pretty limited in what it can do, and the UI is really hard to work within. I get the feeling whoever designed the UI hasn’t done anything more than simple one-off queries, and has never tried to do anything complicated. There is no ability to create a system prompt. Knowledge bases (“backpacks”) are global and not chat specific. And the fact that the free version is really just a DEMO and not actually a free version is a joke - you seriously timed-out a FREE version? It’s absurd and disingenuous to call it a “free” version, it’s a DEMO. I was going to explore it more, but now I’m just going to delete it and forget about it. It has zero value to me given the other options out there that are far better and not so extremely limited as this one. It has potential, but I think the creator’s desire to monetize a paid version is doing more to hurt adoption of this model than anything else. Your demo approach just backfired with me; instead of recommending it, I’m now out in the world telling people not to waste their time with it. Do better.

### 2/5 — Has potential, but too buggy right now

*2026-05-24*

Crash during generation and when selecting from the prompt picker dropdown, the text flickers and jumps around erratically. It's almost impossible to reliably choose what you want. Feels like a rendering bug that slipped through QA.

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback and for bringing this to my attention!

Regarding the crash during generation: based on what you described, this is very likely an Out of Memory (OOM) issue. It usually happens when the local AI model is a bit too large for the device's available RAM. I’d highly recommend switching to a smaller quantized model to see if that resolves the crashing.

We are also actively looking into the rendering bug you mentioned with the prompt picker flickering—sorry for the frustrating experience there!

To help me reproduce and fix these issues as quickly as possible, could you please share a little more info?

Device Details: What specific device and OS are you using (e.g., iPhone 15 Pro, iPadOS, or Mac)?

Model Details: Which exact AI model were you running when it crashed (e.g., Gemma-4B)?

Thanks again for your patience and for helping me improve the app!

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-04-24*

There are aspects of its UI that make the app unusable (latest Tahoe), like simple scrolling while trying to add a LM Studio agent. Nobody tested this before releasing?

### 5/5 — best LLM app

*2026-04-19*

Incredible the amount of features available. Local models, RAG, Vision, Conmects to health data, maps, calendar and more.  Also has Agents and can make your own Agents. Can also adjust temp, top-p, and context length. A+++

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. We have fixed this issue in version 1.8 of the app. Please update to the new version once it is released. We truly appreciate your help in improving our app.

### 4/5 — Problems with large files and timeouts

*2026-04-03*

I really like this application, but I have run into a couple of problems along the way. If my prompt is big, such as if I need to paste in text from a file, the session often times out. I am running a local LLM on a Mac and I can see that the model is completing processing, but LMStation times out and I can’t find a place to alter the time out value. Also, I tried to create a knowledge object in the backpack, but when I try to go back into it, the app crashes. It’s irritating rather than being a show-stopper.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! Our Mac version of LM Station is currently under review by Apple. If you have already purchased it on iOS, you will be able to directly download and use the more native Mac app once it's released.

### 5/5 — Best local LLM app

*2026-01-22*

Easily the most feature rich in and versatile app for LLMs locally or in the cloud.  Highly recommend getting the VIP membership

### 5/5 — Very neat app

*2025-12-20*

Great app and lots of neat features that are not in any other app. The only issue I have run into is local .gguf models will not import into this app. I’m using iPhone 16 pro max on IOS 26.2. Keep up the great work!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. We have fixed this issue in version 1.8 of the app. Please update to the new version once it is released. We truly appreciate your help in improving our app.

### 3/5 — Amazing platform! But…

*2025-12-15*

I love what this app does, because it’s like a mobile version of LM Studio. The idea is great. But when you select a file from your device to use as a language model (instead of using the huggingface search) it doesn’t download at all. Is anyone else having this problem?

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. We have fixed this issue in version 1.8 of the app. Please update to the new version once it is released. We truly appreciate your help in improving our app.
