### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-29*

First of all, this is a great app! 

One additional feature I would like is the ability to connect multiple sessions and select which one to attach.

### 5/5 — Best OC iOS client I have found

*2026-07-17*

OpenLens has been the most straightforward of the several OpenCode clients I have tried. I like that it doesn’t waste screen real estate. The font selection and layout allow you to get a good amount of the chat log visible on a single screen.

### 4/5 — Feels native, very nice iPhone wrapper

*2026-07-01*

It’s really well made, easier switching between sessions within different workspaces is the only thing I can think of that I am missing.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! Could you clarify what you mean by “easier”? Is the Sessions main tab view not working properly for you? As my app is open sourced you can go to OpenLens github page and file an issue for that, that would be helpful.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-06-18*

App is stable and fully functional so it makes it a great remote client for OpenCode. Not only works great but is polished. It’s nice that you can choose workspace while creating new session.
I also found an easter egg- shake while on chat view, so much fun!

### 4/5 — My experience

*2026-06-05*

A basic OpenCode client, but actively improving and comes with a built-in git UI! The developer was responsive and fixed an issue I was experiencing, which I appreciate! Still feels early days in terms of the OpenCode functionality, with a lot to be completed - selecting a workspace for new chats, reliability of stopping ongoing messages… But I can tell the developer is optimising for the whole end-to-end experience, not just functional coverage. :)

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review and giving a chance to my app. I tracked down what went wrong in your case and finally found the bug. I fixed it in the 1.5 version. Please check that out as I’m trying to make this app a valuable companion.

### 3/5 — My Experience

*2026-05-20*

Tried the app. Connected to my authenticated local OpenCode server. Navigating to any tab past the first would reset back to the first every few seconds. Can’t speak to the functionality, as such a basic failure put me off, and I’m falling back to the web-app for now.
