### 1/5 — This app has been abandoned btw 🥀

*2026-06-19*

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.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the error details. Version 1.2.9 normalizes provider base URLs and removes duplicated /models or /chat/completions paths, which fixes common 404 cases. Because the review does not identify the provider and base URL, we cannot confirm every 404 source. If it persists, please send the provider, model, and base URL without the API key.

### 2/5 — Missing components

*2026-05-26*

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.

**Developer response:** Version 1.2.9 fixes group chat creation and OpenAI-compatible image-generation endpoint handling. The difference between the App Store marketing version and the internal app version is a separate display issue that we are still reviewing. The update is currently in App Store review.

### 3/5 — Fix it please?

*2026-08-12*

The app is very good and excellent. But can you fix the glitch where when I goes to a chat and types something it freezes like the app always completely freezes and crashes when I try to type anything.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the report. Version 1.2.12 includes fixes for chat-screen lifecycle crashes and iOS rendering/interaction stability and is currently in App Store review. Please update when it becomes available. If typing still freezes, tell us your device and iOS version and whether the affected chat uses Live2D so we can isolate the remaining cause.

### 3/5 — 输出字数、文风等如何设置？

*2026-08-10*

如题。在里边找了一圈，也没有找到在哪里设置。并且不同的卡，应该可以设置不同的预设

**Developer response:** 输出长度可在“设置 → AI 配置 → 最大令牌数”中调整；文风可在“AI 配置 → AI 预设”选择或导入预设，也可以在角色编辑页的“系统提示”中为单个角色设置。AI 预设目前是全局配置，不会自动按角色切换；角色自己的系统提示会随角色保存。我们会继续优化这些入口的说明。

### 3/5 — I like where this is going

*2026-05-24*

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.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed feedback. Version 1.2.9 improves English localization, makes alternate greetings swipeable from the opening message, and adds editing for sent messages. The update has been submitted for App Store review.

### 4/5 — Question

*2026-08-26*

Is there any way to edit replies that the bot sent?

### 4/5 — Decent much needed app for mobile

*2026-03-31*

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.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestions. Reasoning-effort controls and reasoning display are now available for supported models. Web search is not yet available, so that part remains on our backlog.

### 4/5 — Serviceable for mobile

*2026-03-25*

Has a lot of the basic functionality of what you’d want while away from home, but no edit message ability is a bizarre omission. You can only go back to previous messages and continue or regenerate from there. Context limits also seem to affect models negatively, even breaking them instead of simply prioritizing recent context.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed report. Editing sent messages is included in version 1.2.9. Context management already supports automatic summaries, but the model-breaking context-limit behavior is still under investigation, so this report is only partially resolved.

### 5/5 — 牛的

*2026-08-25*

很好用的app，使我的迪克旋转

### 5/5 — Improvements you can make & stuff update

*2026-08-05*

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.

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.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed report. We fixed Clear All Messages, View Character from chat, and persistence for persona tags, creator notes, Advanced settings, and Connections. These fixes are included in version 1.2.9, which has been submitted for App Store review.

### 5/5 — Improvements you can make & stuff update

*2026-07-09, version 1.2.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Gemini接口用不了？

*2026-02-21*

No models found.

**Developer response:** 感谢反馈。我们已修正 Gemini 模型列表地址的规范化处理，避免重复拼接 /models 导致无法读取模型。修复已包含在提交审核的 1.2.9 中。

### 5/5 — Embedding providers

*2026-02-15*

I know you guys are working on the desktop stuff but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make there be a working extensions tab and stuff, I want to know what happened five minutes ago in my chats

**Developer response:** Thanks for the request. Version 1.2.9 fixes custom and OpenAI-compatible embedding endpoint handling and restores saved vector collections reliably. The vector-storage settings can now be used for longer-term chat memory.

### 5/5 — Improvement

*2026-02-02*

Look real promising but:

- Let me add/edit prompt preset right in app.
- Macro/Variables does not working.
- Gemma 3 call through Google API asking for enable developer mode. Call through the others (Openrouter...etc...) return "role must alternative between user/assistant error." Instruct Template does not works in this case.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed report. Version 1.2.9 expands macro and variable support, includes editable prompt and instruct-template controls, and adds Merge Roles for APIs that require strict user/assistant alternation. Enable Merge Roles in AI Configuration for those endpoints.
