### 3/5 — Great UX and UI, lacking some features

*2026-06-21*

Attachments would make this app 5 stars hands down.

**Developer response:** Marked in todo

### 4/5 — 能否支持iPad本地部署模型

*2026-05-10*

试了一下好像没有发现这方面的设置或按钮，是不是只能做客户端？ 是的，你回复的就是我想问的。

**Developer response:** 是指类似于ollama客户端那种，支持在线下载大模型文件然后直接跑在本地ipad上么？

### 5/5 — Работает

*2026-04-30*

На ПК установлена и запущена Оллама с набором моделей. В настройках на телефоне указал айпи компа и порт ламы. Модель Гемма 4 е2б работает у меня моментально.

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhone

*2026-04-28*

Pointless

**Developer response:** If you met some bugs, please issue them on github😀

### 3/5 — 用不了…

*2026-04-12*

无法加载模型。
显示Base URL is missing

**Developer response:** 如果是连本地ollama服务器，需要先在设置里配置一下host=http://localhost:11434
还有问题可以在github上提issue

### 4/5 — This is amazing but lacks a lot of good features

*2026-03-18*

This app would be five stars for sure if it had features like being able to edit an already sent message and regenerating an AI response.
Other than that I think this app is amazing.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback:)
The features you mentioned are on the TODO list. A brand new version is under developing and almost done. I will release it asap.

### 5/5 — 好nano

*2026-03-05*

挺多模型可选的 不错😌

**Developer response:** 感谢使用😉

### 5/5 — 很好用的ollama客户端

*2026-02-28*

本地AI部署在Mac上，这样手机也可以访问了

### 5/5 — 相当不错

*2026-02-12*

找了好多地方，想手机上访问本地部署的模型，手机浏览器都配不好，这个软件终于满足了我的要求，很好，谢谢！

### 4/5 — Not too bad

*2026-01-02*

Connecting to your local server is better. But this app overheats the phone quickly. You can't swap to another task while the anar is generated and you better not have a long conversation. The phone will over heat quickly.  The conversations are not followed by the local ollama app wich is a disappointment

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback！
A new version app is under developing that will fix a plenty of known bugs :)
And the problems you mentioned are also in the development plan list. I will handle that asap.
