Love that it works offline because i travel on planes a lot for work and i can use this on the plane! ### 5/5 — Agentic Tools In The Future? *2026-07-25* First of all, Locally is by far the best local AI app I’ve tried on iPhone, and I’ve tried quite a few. The fact that you have web search integrated is just awesome. I don’t know if any of the other big ones are doing that. That said, I was wondering if you ever planned on adding in some agentic usage, for example allowing it to hook up to some model context protocol servers like appdeploy or any of the other big ones that work with ChatGPT and Claude right now. I just think that that would be a really cool feature to have and it makes sense when you have agent (albeit small agentic) models like Gemma 4 E2B on the device. Also it would be very cool in the future if you could add a Qwen Coder model. Overall, this is a great app, and thanks for making it free. ### 5/5 — Useful for my travels *2026-07-24* I travel for work. This app helps in areas where I don’t have service. I can build useful ai models. If you use chat gpt or Claude, you are a loser, in my humble opinion. ### 5/5 — Best local AI on the market *2026-07-23* Loci is exactly what I have been looking for - it lets me use AI offline, free, and without any limits, and it’s the only option I’ve found that actually works. For anyone else who has been disappointed by other local AI options, I highly recommend this one. Exceeded my expectations significantly. ### 5/5 — Great App for Local AI *2026-07-21* Great for offline use and data security. Really excited for small model improvement! ### 5/5 — Lovely concept *2026-07-20* For a free and offline app it has a pleasant user experience and clean interface. The tradeoff you make for having less capable models is worth it while traveling or needing offline access. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Useful and sustainable *2026-07-20* Great idea to have models locally where impact can be minimized and privacy is maximized. Looking forward to seeing where this goes ### 5/5 — 11/10! *2026-07-18* Loci is an incredibly powerful local AI that I’ve started using all the time. It’s especially useful when I’m trying to complete projects in places with poor cellular of wifi connections. The UI is very impressive and I definitely see myself continuing to rely on the app long-term for my AI need ### 5/5 — Love this *2026-07-18* super easy to use UI. The fact that this is offline and runs on the phone’s personal hardware is amazing. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-07-16* Easy to use UI, fast, and synchs up directly with my phone! ### 5/5 — AI I Trust *2026-07-16* Low-key, Loci is a rare gem. It’s everything I’ve always wanted from an AI space… and I know a lot of people have been waiting for something like this too. It couldn’t have come at a better time. I use it constantly (yeah, I’m addicted 😅), but now my AI addiction is channeled into a safe, clean, and incredibly flexible space. And the best part? It’s completely FREE. - Edited by Loci 😉 **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-07-15* This app is ridiculously good. Works so fast. Super clean UI, and it handles these models much better than 8 other local LLM apps I've tried, it's 3x faster than the app Locally for some models. Grateful that it's free without limits. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! ### 5/5 — Offline is key *2026-07-15* Super helpful to be able to access AI while offline. Work super well for all my travel. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! ### 5/5 — Really useful app for me! *2026-07-14* I was surprised by how seamless the user experience is: the settings are straightforward and displays functionalities that are very helpful, and the UI is very clean. This app is great and especially useful when I’m in areas without good service. Definitely recommend others use this **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! ### 5/5 — Interesting *2026-07-13* I just use AI for basic things and my internet/wifi is not the greatest so this has been great for me so far. It chose an AI model that would be best and I can look things up even when I dont have service. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! ### 5/5 — This is the app I’ve been waiting for *2026-07-12* With this app I’m running Gemma 4 E4B on my iPhone 16PM and it is zippy AF. This dev must be a wizard. Seriously. I can’t remember the last time I’ve given an app 5 stars. Thank you for all your hard work making and maintaining this! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! ### 5/5 — Incredible product *2026-07-12* I am incredibly impressed with this app. Having a powerful AI that runs completely offline is a massive game-changer. The biggest selling point for me is the privacy. In a world where every app seems to want your data stored in the cloud, it is so refreshing to know that my conversations, ideas, and data stay entirely on my own device. I can use it with complete peace of mind, whether I'm connected to the internet or completely off the grid. The performance is smooth, the interface is intuitive, and the fact that it doesn't drain my data or rely on a server is fantastic. If you value your privacy and want a reliable, offline AI companion, look no further. Highly recommended **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! ### 5/5 — Sujay *2026-07-10* Excellent UI and Update velocity. I’ve used it on the go and also when the I run out of limits on my Claude and ChatGPT accounts ### 5/5 — Genius AI idea that works! *2026-07-10* If privacy is your top concern when using AI, look no further. This AI platform puts privacy first while delivering fast, responsive, and accurate answers to your commands. Get the information you need in seconds, and best of all, it’s FREE. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! ### 5/5 — Actually so good *2026-07-09* Still no clue how this works but been using it for weeks now while abroad with intermittent WiFi and wow. Pretty much as good as those other ai services all locally. Can someone please explain to me how this is possible?
