I tried
After a few chats, it told me that I had used up my quota of questions. I didn't create an account, so maybe that is a thing. But considering that it uses an old model of AI without an account, I don't see how it can compete with the DDG browser and its private AI chats. I haven't found any such limits there, and the model are new. What is the benefit of this app over that one? Can you please explain

OLD REVIEW:
As long as you recognize that the information that Lumo gives is outdated, you'll be fine.
At least they dropped the "every word's a pun" garbage and chose to prioritize selling what they're selling instead of selling bad puns.
-------------------
I want to update but I couldn't understand what the dev was trying to say in the update description. Maybe next time I'll be able to take this app seriously. I have no idea if it is AI slop or if the app's a joke

Tested Extremely rare, never mentioned anywhere else topics on lumo, minutes later the specific answers are given as you tube video suggestions.

So far so great!
I’ve loved my first few days with this app so far! Adorable cat and super helpful AI
Off to other platform as much to be desired
Updated Oct7 to add: I’ve exported everything to use another platform because lumo is subpar. Paying for the privilege of tools uncompetitive in the market was not on my bingo card for lumo or Proton as a business customer.
The worst part is I’m paying for Lumo to constantly fabricate throughout chats, sometimes so subtly you miss it and then get half way through before it’s clear.
Leaving much to be desired. Slow menu bar still requires waiting for 20+ seconds to appear.
Still unable to recognise proton files, requiring business users to download proton files natively to Microsoft or Google files and then paste into chat. No PNG or JPEGs are readable.
Lumo’s own project folder architecture is unable to read anything within a project so you are uploading file after file even if in the same project making it useless.

iOS App Opens to Blank Chat — Menu Unresponsive on Launch:
Sharing issue here because the app is not responsive, despite everything being up to date Aug26. Will update when it’s fixed.
Side note: the fact that you can’t upload proton documents into lumo is an absolute failure. Your own suite of programs don’t talk to each other - I have to export a Proton document to a Microsoft or Google document to upload into Lumo! I chose to migrate to Proton to divest away from these American products.
When I open the Lumo app on iPhone, it always opens to a blank chat screen. The menu showing my Projects and chat history does not appear automatically. I have to tap the screen repeatedly for approximately 20 seconds before the UI becomes responsive enough to access the menu.
**Steps to Reproduce:**
1. Close the Lumo app completely (swipe up from app switcher)
2. Tap the Lumo icon to relaunch
3. Observe blank chat screen with no visible menu
4. Attempt to tap screen/tap menu button — no response
5. Continue tapping/waiting ~20 seconds until UI finally loads
**Impact:**
This adds unnecessary friction every time I open the app. It feels like a bug rather than intended behaviour, especially for an app that should prioritise quick, seamless access.
**Expected Behaviour:**
- A menu button or sidebar icon should be visible immediately on launch
- Or, at minimum, the app should show the chat/menu list without requiring repeated taps and a 20-second wait
**Environment:**
- IPhone 13
- Lumo Plan: Business
**Request:**
1. Fix the unresponsive launch behaviour
2. Consider showing a cached/unencrypted menu structure on launch while encrypted content decrypts in the background
3. Confirm whether this is a known issue or a bug that needs investigation
