User reviews

Some issues in artistic creativity

Generally the app does produce good results although some annoying results. Some people end up with multiple limbs in odd places. It produces goods female nudes but men have all been castrated

Abandoned

Seems to be abandoned

Response from developer

Hi. App is not abandoned, but rather finished. From the very first day we had clear idea, what feature we plan to develop and that once they are implemented app will not get any new releases(except bug fixes). That being said, support is still active and we closely monitor our app.

Your app is awful

Keeps crashing every 5 lth or so edits. Don’t recommend. Garbage

Response from developer

Hi, I am sorry for your experience. It is really unexpected, since our app has crash free rate of 99.9%. Can you tell me devices that you used, so we can fix your problem?

Great pictures, the re-compiling process is a PAIN

Powerful and quick model. Definitely better than apple's image playground junk.

I bought the pro license!

I love the app. However, I dislike that after every iOS update that each and every model installed has to be re-compiled at a cost of ~200sec each (10min+). For me, that means each time I use the app after iOS update I do not get to use the app while the idea is fresh in my mind. I forget what I was gonna to create. I then spend the time re-compiling. This is a frustrating process and it takes me a while to want to use the app again. I have PTSD and it hurts to continually wait 10 minutes re-compiling. It is so frustrating that you have to do all this when you want to use an app.

I appreciate the developers response and I have updated my review accordingly.

Response from developer

Hi. I am sorry for your experience. The reason you needed to redownload model, is because I replaced it with better models as I improved the app. It will not happen again, because models are finalized.

One issue

Can we access the generated photos without having to save each one? I generated way too many photos to save one by one…

Response from developer

Hi, You can check generated images in gallery by just tapping on them. You don't need to save them for that.

FAQ

What does LocalGen do?

LocalGen is an application that allows users to generate unlimited AI art directly on their iPhone or iPad. It transforms text prompts into images, enabling the creation of art, logos, icons, posters, wallpapers, concept art, illustrations, characters, and portraits without relying on cloud servers.

How does the on-device generation work?

The app utilizes advanced stable diffusion models that run locally on your device's chip. This ensures low-latency generation and enhanced privacy, as your prompts and generated images never leave your device. It can even function offline after the initial download.

What devices are compatible with LocalGen?

For the best experience, an A14-class chip or newer is recommended, including Apple Silicon like the M1. Supported devices include iPhone 12 or newer, iPad (10th gen or newer), iPad Air (4th gen or newer), and any iPad model released after 2022. Devices like iPhone 11 or earlier, and older iPad models are not supported.

Is LocalGen free to use?

The application offers unlimited AI image generation with no daily limits on supported hardware. While the core functionality is available, there are in-app purchases, suggesting that some advanced features or models might be unlocked through them.

Can I use LocalGen without an internet connection?

Yes, one of the key features of LocalGen is its ability to run entirely on your device. After the initial download, you can generate AI images even when you are offline, making it a convenient tool for creativity anywhere.
