Better UI than WebUI in Browser

Works very well and bugs are fixed quickly.

Incredible App

Really made me fall in love with connecting to my laptop, it's so fast and effortless but a few suggestions (I don't know how technically possible these are so they're just things that I would love to have if possible):

1. Automatic message queuing doesn't auto send the message even when I check the setting to do so, I have to manually press the up arrow on the queued message to send it - so if it can auto send as soon as the last prompt is done that would be great.

2. Sometimes it isn't clear if the server is already processing a message so it looks like it's taking an extremely long time when in reality behind the scenes the computer is processing 2 previous prompts and the third is in queue. I'd love to either see how many prompts are actively being processed and either stop all or some of them. My work around is to load a new model which flushes out all the queued prompts and start over.

3. Ability to load 2 models at once - not sure if JIT won't allow this but I'd love the ability for you to try and if for whatever reason there isn't enough memory it just tells you or fails to load.

4. More details on token usage like total input/total output, maybe a per model tracker. Maybe for fun a built in calculator you put in $X input and output costs and it estimates "you saved $XY running local!" So you can compare it.

5. (No idea if this is possible), a model tracker for how many tokens / max you have. So if a model can take 260k it shows you 80k/260k in a little tracker instead of pressing the little i.

Worth it

I was hesitant at first - do I really need a rather expensive app for an application that has a perfectly fine web UI? Yes, in fact I do.

Всё отлично

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for using the app and sorry to see that you are having this issue. I have just sent out a patch for this exact issue as this was brought up to me a day ago. V4.5.3 should fix crashing problems as confirmed by creator of the issue on github. Feel free to create an issue on github if the issue persists for you and i would love to help resolve it!

Satisfied

Very active developer. Worth the one time purchase.

Thankful for this app

This has made it so much easier for me to conveniently use OpenWeb, and there’s really not much to complain about. Excited to see more improvements in the future. One small suggestion to the developer: it would be great if it was possible to just swipe right to show the sidebar rather than tapping the hamburger menu in the top left. Would make everything feel smoother!

Hey! Thank you for using the app and im glad you are enjoying it! You can actually swipe from the side of the screen to open the sidebar! Just swipe from the edge of the screen and it should work as expected.

Great App!

The iPad app is wonderful, and using this app on the Mac is very useful, especially for its built in text to speech voices. But the one thing that drives me crazy is the inability to copy text. When I try, the text selection levers appear, but I cannot drag them. I’ve tried a bunch of key combos but nothing works. So it’d be great if that could be fixed, or if we could copy text in the normal Mac OS way; not sure if there is some limitation since this is really an iPad app. Sure hope you can add this essential feature!

Vibe coded trash

So many bugs. Can’t switch chats without freezing. Tools UI dont load correctly. Stop button doesn’t do anything. Constant frame drops. Notifications dont work correctly. Not worth the premium price.

Awesome

The best AI client for onprem, thank you so much for such an awesome client. Finally my TTS is working like ChatGPT. If you’re looking for a tester let me know!

Well designed and executed

Exactly what I was looking for! Well executed native IOS app for openwebui. I was able to set up the whole family. Thank you!

Amazing!

I really love this app! I couldn’t recommend it highly enough! Great work!

Response from developer

Hello! First off, Im glad you're enjoying the app! Regarding the copying, you can double tap the text which will let you copy it! If you still have an issue or you are referring to different feature, we can discuss further on github where you can create an issue and I can take a look. I would love to hear back! Cheers!

Telefonfunktion schlecht umgesetzt

Gekauft hatte ich die App wegen der beworbenen Telefonierfunktion. Diese funktioniert aber schlecht. Man kann das Handy beim telefonieren nicht an das Ohr halten, weil dann nach kurzer Zeit der Bildschirm ausgeht und die App nicht mehr reagiert. Man muss also immer auf denn Bildschirm schauen. Das dies unter iOS auch anders geht, sehe ich z.B. an der App meiner Relink-Videodoorbell. Diese setzt wirklich die Telefoniererfahrung perfekt um.

Zum schnellen KI-Chatten ist die KI geeignet. Aber das ginge auch im Webbrowser gut.

Response from developer

Hey! Thanks for trying out the app! From translating, i understand you wanted more of an actual phone call style feature but this is a limitation by apple where we cannot run a model in the background. The moment the app goes in background, apple suspends it so it is not possible to run a full text to speech model. This could work with server side model stream but not possible with on device. This issue was brought up on github and I would live to discuss this further and I wished the rating was done after reaching out to me first! Thanks again for the feedback but unless apple decides to let gpu tasks run in background on phone, there is nothing I can do to let the tts continue while the screen turns off unfortunately! I would highly appreciated if you could have discussed this directly on github issues as i had went through this with another user! Cheers!

First review ever. For a reason

Perfect exactly what I was looking for. 0 issues, great for developers!

A must have app!

A big shout out to the Developer(s) this app has great flexibility. Gives that just leveled up feeling. 😎👏🏽

The OpenWebUI companion I needed

Fantastic companion app for OpenWebUI on iOS. Well-built, actively maintained, and open source on top of that. I had an issue and the developer responded incredibly fast — really appreciated. Worth every penny. Highly recommended!

Best way to access OpenWebUI on iOS

Really enjoying this app so far! It does exactly what I need for my daily usage. Way nicer and smoother UI than using the PWA !
I’ve reported a few minor issues, but nothing that affects the core experience. Keep up the great work! 🙌
