Hallucinating chats

I highly doubt that the developer is actually using his own app. Any models you download will yield an hallucinated response that makes no sense, and on a loop.

Should be reported

Memory later is trash. It said it was a girl new to the city of New York. Then it said it didnt know what to do with its life. And I quote “I’m not a robot I’m real”

Crash

Will have to give 1 star as I tried multiple times to talk to the bot and the app would freeze my entire phone to the point I couldn’t turn it off for a while then crash over and over again would not recommend

If

If its downloaded from hugging face can’t we just install some models and implement our own

Great for a start point.

Using this on inferior hardware of iPhone 13 Pro limited model can run. It does make stuff up. It cannot take a follow-up question. Just repeats. Have to re ask each time. But a lot of info jammed in. Keep it privacy Centre pls.

Un bon programme en perspective

Malgré quelques bugs ce programme fonctionne de mieux en mieux au fil des versions. Une très bonne initiative de la part du développeur. Bravo !

Runs smoothly, doesn’t persist chats

The app is beautifully made, has a clear and self-explanatory interface for downloading models, including which can be downloaded and run (which might be supported by the app on another device) and which is active for next chat.

However I’m frustrated that, the relatively cheap, in storage, and personal, in my use, aspect of the app, transcripts…are not saved. Only a few recent transcripts are available. And no explanation ahead of time nor afterwards is available on close inspection.

Beautiful, but missing, for now, a key part of the point.

Shortcut integration, as another suggests, would be amazing. I would also love to donate directly, or link to/see other work, not just apps. <3

Crash

Keeps crashing when I send messages

Crashes when initiating chat

Downloaded a model and that appeared successful. Once I tried to initiate a chat, the app crashed. I rebooted but that didn’t help.

Simple UI

The Simple UI is a good thing. Shame it uses the iPhone vibrate on every word it writes from the model.

iPhone 16 Pro Max supported!

Nice!

iPhone 16

iPhone 16 also won’t work??

Great idea poorly implemented

Won’t allow downloading of models saying not enough storage. Needs an update.

Used to be awesome

Now it gets an error even with the new iPhone 16 Pro, this is ridiculous I would have gladly paid if it worked

Response from developer

Hi! A new update just came out that fixes the issue. Enjoy.

iPhone 16 Pro Max not supported?

The app claims it only supports phones with 8GB of memory. Fair. Except I’m on an iPhone 16 Pro Max, which meets that requirement.

Silly error

Pls, fix your check for RAM amount. 16 gigs M4 Pro is not allowed to run anything, while 8 gig M1 Air is totally fine.

Cool idea and UI

Cool idea and the UI looks better than any other LLM app out there out of the ones I tried. The reason for 1 star is that the app is completely unusable on an iPad - it displays a dialog saying that it requires at least 8GB of RAM to execute. iPad Pro M2 has exactly 8GB, so this is probably a bug. Couldn’t find the email address to the developer so leaving this bug report here.

New M4 iPad Pro not supported

App reports that the new M4 iPad Pro is not supported because it “doesn’t have 8gb of RAM”, which it does.

Shortcuts please!!

This with some Apple Shortcuts integration would be the perfect app.

Is that the real models ?

I used Llama 3 model and from the start it says just nonsense pretending to be a woman and giving random symptoms
