crash crash crash
an other update with hopes crushed by constant crashes, voice mode crashes when you use the auto mode after the first answer, it does not switch into listening mode, just simply crashes no matter what voice model or ai model you use... on an M2 ipad pro with 16 gigs of ram... this app was never stable, pretty much unusable, no response from developer... don't spend money on this app, not worth it until they fix the bugs instead of packing more and more features into it.

Response from developer
Hi trancemuter, thank you for using the app. We apologize for the inconvenience. It was a bug that has now been fixed in the latest version. You should be able to long-press and copy the model response in iOS, and select text on macOS. Please update to the newest version to try it out.
High quality and well thought out
Excellent implementation of features and very robust. This app is more advanced than most which allows you to do so many neat things. Highly recommend to pay the small fee and unlock everything

Thank you for supporting!
hard crash!!!
today I saw that there is an update, I was happy to try it out, maybe they fixed the problems it had, I sent emails to them about it, (no response btw) well, I open it up and starts loading the last model I was using then hard crashed immediately, not just a normal crash, it was blank screen crash!!! it was stuck on blank screen for a while unresponsive to anything, then my iPad restarted by itself, thanks God! this is the only app that hard crashes my iPad and I have over a thousand apps, I even beta test apps, I am a power user, no other app ever crashed my iPad as this app is crashing it, not only now, this app had these hard crashes many time despite the updates! I have a maxed out iPad pro M2, 16gb ram 2 tb storage, I have about 700 gigs free space on it, I was only running this app on a freshly restarted machine... this is not normal! idk what else to say but this developer is not a pro! no response from support either for weeks now, I have a lifetime membership... I think there is a new owner or something, I had good working relationship with the developer before, I was testing for them, he was responsive to me before, not anymore... yeah... 🤷♂️ idk...

A Game-Changer for Personal AI Assistants
I’ve tested countless AI apps over the years, and OnDevice AI truly stands out as a powerhouse. Its expansive feature set covers everything you need to build and customize your own AI assistant, making it incredibly versatile for both casual and advanced users. I primarily rely on it for voice-to-text functionality across various models, which enables seamless, hands-free operation that’s a total game-changer for productivity on the go.
I’ve also dived deep into the chat flow feature, where you can assign multiple “characters” to role-play interactions between different AI models. It’s endlessly creative and fun—perfect for brainstorming, storytelling, or even simulating debates. The built-in search tool is another highlight; I use it frequently to pull in real-time information without breaking my workflow.
What I love most is running OnDevice AI strictly on my MacBook (with 64GB RAM) as an endpoint via LM Studio. This setup lets me handle the largest AI models effortlessly, without any performance hiccups or memory overload on my devices. The app integrates beautifully with Kokoro voices or Apple’s default voices, delivering natural, fluid conversations that feel truly unencumbered.
I seamlessly use this app across my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, and Vision Pro—it’s a unified experience that’s hard to beat. If I could, I’d rate it 10 stars!
Suggested Features and Improvements
While OnDevice AI is already exceptional, here are some thoughtful enhancements that could elevate it even further:
• Automated Multi-Character Conversations: Introduce an option to select two or more characters and let them engage in ongoing, autonomous discussions on a given topic. Right now, users must manually alternate between characters for each exchange, which can feel tedious. As a workaround, I’ve experimented with setting up an iPhone and iPad to “talk” to each other via voice-to-voice—it’s surprisingly immersive, like listening to a live story unfold!
• Character Set Saving and Syncing: Add functionality to save, export, and import character configurations across devices. Currently, I have to recreate them manually using copy-paste and Apple’s Continuity features, which disrupts the seamless multi-device experience.
• Streamlined Search Integration: Refine the search tool to integrate more fluidly into chats without interrupting the flow (e.g., eliminate the toggle that converts the chat field into a URL input). Extend voice-mode access for quick, on-the-fly queries—like checking a product’s price—without switching sections or resuming the conversation separately afterward.
• UI Optimization for Icons: Consolidate key elements like the microphone and speaker icons into a single, more prominent area, and enlarge them slightly for better accessibility, especially on the Vision Pro where spatial interactions demand intuitive design.
• Remote Endpoint Support for Multi-Agents: Expand the multi-agent (character) system to include remote endpoints, in addition to local devices. This would align perfectly with OnDevice AI’s strengths in handling distributed AI workloads.
• HomeKit Integration: Incorporate basic controls for smart home devices, such as adjusting lights or playing music. While Siri handles this natively, OnDevice AI could offer a more customizable, AI-driven alternative for enhanced automation.
• Improved Documentation: Provide clearer guides on importing models from sources like Hugging Face—I haven’t been able to do this successfully yet, and step-by-step tutorials would be invaluable for users experimenting with custom setups.
• Expanded Agent Input Window: Enlarge the text input area for defining agents/characters; it’s currently quite restrictive, especially when this should be the focal point for creative customization.
• Per-Agent Model Assignment: For each agent—particularly in remote or cloud-based scenarios—add the ability to assign specific model sets. My MacBook can handle running multiple models simultaneously, and while this might be a niche feature, it would greatly aid in evaluating whether a particular model is suited to the task at hand.
These are just a few ideas to build on an already outstanding app—I have more in mind, but this covers my top priorities for now. Keep up the fantastic work!
