Improvements you can make & stuff update

I rated this 5 stars to make it the most noticeable to devs but I would make it four stars honestly but it has huge potential.

Alt Greetings: alt greetings some reason doesn’t work, yes it works when creating your character in general but you can’t switch to alt greetings, you can edit the message and copy the alt greeting into there but you can’t use page flipping icon to switch alt greetings (if that’s what its used for) so hopefully we can fix that.

Clear messages: clear all messages doesn’t work at all however selecting and deleting an individual message does work so I’ll give you that.

View character: view character doesn’t work as well as when I tap on it when chatting to see character’s description while on the chatting interface it doesn’t work.

Persona add tags and creator notes: when adding tags to ur persona or creator notes when you save it, it doesn’t work at all too. Also the advanced section and connection section, all those features on those two sections for the persona don’t work once you save the persona or update the persona.

Overall it’s a pretty good app for a SillyTavern alternative if ur too poor for a PC or just like or used to typing on phones but if you just fix these bugs it would make the app perfect(at least for me) Thank you.

This app has been abandoned btw 🥀

Lemme show you the error I just keep getting
DioException [bad responsel: This exception was thrown because the response has a status code of 404 and
RequestOptions.validateStatus was configured to throw for this status code.
The status code of 404 has the following meaning: "Client error - the request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled"
Read more about status codes at https:/l developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/
Status
In order to resolve this exception you typically have either to verify and fix your request code or you have to fix the server code. Fix this error or else I’m moving to janitor AI entirely.

Missing components

It’s says version 1.2 but I only get 1.0, image gen doesn’t work, neither does group chat. Maybe they are in version 1.2 but I can’t get it or iPhone won’t allow it. Shame cause this really felt like a great way to use your local LLM on iOS.

I like where this is going

This app has a lot of potential. I really enjoy the basic features and functionality–there are only a few issues that are keeping me from giving it a five-star rating.

First, much of the UI is still in Chinese, despite my language being set to English, and while I can more or less infer what’s going on from the graphics and icons, it’d be nice to see it all in my native language.

Second, despite the character importer being capable of recognizing multiple greetings for a single character card, there doesn’t appear to be any way to access said greetings from the chat menu. This might be more of a skill issue on my part, and I’ll amend my review should I figure it out later.

Finally, there doesn’t seem to be any way to edit my own messages after they’ve been sent, which can be frustrating if I accidentally hit the send button mid sentence. Ultimately, this app definitely works, but a few quality of life improvements could make it the gold standard.

Decent much needed app for mobile

Seems to be missing a few key settings like “request model reasoning” as well as web search capabilities but overall a good mobile ST which I’m surprised nobody made yet.
