Support Website does not leed to any Contact! *2026-01-11* Fehlkauf! Schade eigentlich funktional sehr vielversprechend. ### 1/5 — Rambling nonsense *2025-10-28* Like others mentioned. Rambles incoherently. Requested refund. **Developer response:** Dear Mr Xiri, Please make sure that you have downloaded a full model and aren’t using the limited demo model. The app allows you to install any State Of The Art model including Meta’s Llama, Google’s Gemma, OpenAI’s GPT-OSS, DeepSeek’s R1 and Alibaba’s Qwen. These models will behave the same as they do in cloud based environments. I’d recommend trying out Llama 3.2 or Qwen 3 or DeepSeek R1. We also offer two modes of the app: Beginner and Advanced. I’d recommend sticking in Beginner mode, which can optimise all the parameters for you. If you need any more help, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support on our website! ### 1/5 — 何も動かない *2025-08-26* どんなモデルをハンギングフェイスから持ってきても何も動きません ### 1/5 — Application Crashed when chatting *2025-08-18* I use MacBook Air M2, just crashed when entered a single chat. i can't figure out what's the problem it is ### 1/5 — Psycho-Babble *2025-08-17* There is something seriously wrong with this app. No matter which model I download and use, no matter if I’m in advanced or beginner mode, no matter what question I ask, the AI just babbles incoherently. It seems to be obsessed with Tap Tap Revenge for some reason. I asked simply, what the capital of Brazil was to test it (using Llama 3.2 3B) and it returned a VERY long wall of incoherent text (I thought it was stuck in a loop for several minutes) but at the very end was a description of Tap Tap Revenge followed by a question: “What is the capital of New Zealand?” I may as well have flushed my three dollars down the toilet. Update to dev response: These ramblings are happening in beginner mode as well, where settings can’t be changed. Furthermore they are happening for me across three different types of devices. It seems like when you select a model that you’re possibly not actually using that model but the demo model; answers in the demo model are always nonsensical. **Developer response:** Hi Wintermute616, this sounds like a mistake made tweaking your chats in Advanced mode. Perhaps you may have accidentally tweaked the system prompts on your chats. The app runs the downloaded models without modification, so they should not perform any differently inside OfflineLLM. We'd be more than happy to help you fix these problems if you message us at https://offlinellm.bilaal.co.uk/contact ### 1/5 — Psycho-Babble *2025-08-15* There is something seriously wrong with this app. No matter which model I download and use, no matter if I’m in advanced or beginner mode, no matter what question I ask, the AI just babbles incoherently.

Amongst other things, this update improves the stability of downloads and supports a wider range of models from a wider range of sources. You can now import any GGUF model from sites like HuggingFace. This should resolve the issues you are facing. Appologies for the inconvenience in the mean-time. Please don't forget you can contact us at anytime on our website. If you think this update fixes your issues, please consider upgrading to a 5-star review. Thanks for using Ofline LLM! ### 1/5 — Nicht zu empfehlen *2024-01-11* Die App kann extrem simple Texte schreiben. Das war aber auch jegliche Rückfragen werden so allgemein beantwortet, dass sie komplett in der Frage vorbeigehen.. **Developer response:** Lieber Jatzanus, die App unterstützt eine große Bandbreite an Modellen mit unterschiedlicher Komplexität, Eignung und Geschwindigkeit. Wenn Sie genauere Antworten suchen, empfehlen wir Ihnen, Meta Llama 3.2 Instruct, Google Gemma 2 oder Microsoft Phi 3 auszuprobieren. Sie können auch jedes GGUF-Modell von einer Site wie HuggingFace importieren, wenn Sie mit noch mehr Modellen experimentieren möchten. Bitte vergessen Sie nicht, dass Sie uns jederzeit auf unserer Website kontaktieren können. Vielen Dank, dass Sie Offline-LLM verwenden! ### 1/5 — App Crashes *2024-01-01* The app crashes on every time I try to use the LLM. **Developer response:** Dear beached baluga, we have just released a new update (version 2) which is a complete rewrite.

Best app to use for automations in the Shortcuts app. I wish the dev will add custom pics for the LLM. I’d like to set my own picture for the model I’m talking to that’s all besides that this one takes the cake. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback, we will absolutely add this to the roadmap and get this featured shipped for you soon. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t download models *2024-03-05* Same issue as another reviewer, cannot download models. Until this is resolved it really limits the app **Developer response:** Dear Craigc88, we have just released a new update (version 2) which is a complete rewrite. Amongst other things, this update improves the stability of downloads and supports a wider range of models from a wider range of sources.

Thanks for using Ofline LLM! ### 2/5 — This app i thought would be the best one out there. Lots of potential *2025-05-25* My AI chats just go off the rails. They ramble incoherently and i cant control them. Maybe i need assistance setting them up? But the demo alone just breaks completely its almost funny. So maybe ill change my review when the developer responds i really want to give this app a shot. Seems like a fantastic idea to be able to have your chat bot read pdfs before the chat to train on specific things. I really want it to work **Developer response:** Hi Pro8baller, as stated in the app, the demo model is only designed to let you try out the app’s features. It’s too small and is deliberately poor. You should try downloading one of the proper models from the Settings page and you’ll find they work much nicer. Depending on how fast your device is, DeepSeek R1, Llama 4 or Llama 3.2 will be the best models to chat to. If you’re on a slower device, Llama 3.2 1B or Llama 3.2 3B may be the best. Switching the app to Advanced mode will give you full control over the execution environment and will let you control things like the system prompt, sampling settings, RAG and more to further tweak and optimise your chats if you are using them for specific tasks.
