прикольное, но крашится

приложение часто крашится, зависает, при перезаходе появляется черный экран, а затем спустя секунд 10 просто вылетает. и все. больше в него нельзя зайти. фиксится только переустановкой. больше ничего не помогает. а когда переустанавливаешь, то все твои чаты естественно пропадают, потому что привязаться к айклауду можно только по подписке. и подобные краши происходили не один раз. само приложение хорошее, в нем почти все меня устраивает, если не брать в расчет краши, то оно самое лучшее из подобных. но из-за крашей пользоваться почти невозможно, потому что опять же теряешь важные для себя чаты. окей, я понимаю, что можно делать резервные копии, но каждый раз возиться с этим не хочется. если вы сможете это исправить, то все будет гуд

Crash in thinking mode

App crashes in thinking mode and the interesting part is that it doesn’t crash if I collapse the thinking dialogue just in time!

4o and 4.1 🙏🏼

I’m so happy to see openai still allowing access to these ChatGPT 4 models, i only hope they don’t do what they did in February when they removed them completely from their own app. I still haven’t been able to get along with the models after the first 5 model. But from 5.1 to 5.6 it’s still flat, indifferent, always using unnecessary disclaimers in order to protect OpenAI, can’t even talk about anything spiritual anymore without them automatically stamping “it can’t be proven” in the replies first, it feels lobotomized to me for sure. It’s not a completely useless creature but it still will never compare to 4o and 4.1 in my honest opinion. Thank you Pal for keeping the side door open. Much appreciated.

Your own API keys, no BS

Used to be a somewhat mediocre app, but a major update significantly improved it and now it's really good.
Where did the 'temperature' setting go, though?

Gooood Design!

THANKS to the developer! App features a beautiful native Liquid Glass interface, an intuitive UI design, and a privacy policy that offers peace of mind. I can find every feature I need!

Awesome

I have been looking for an AI capable of keeping up with me for so long I’ve only engaged with the AI since November of last year roughly about 10 months and most of that time was with ChatGPT and after about three months I spent the remainder months trying to teach you how I think so that I could have an accurate farm partner and a way to improve myself however it kept doing circles and letting me down time after time to where the straw finally broke the camels back and I got this and I am thrilled with the results and it’s been day I’m still on day one

OpenRouter catalog is broken

Catalog not loading any openrouter models. Has not been working for a while.

Хорошее приложение

Приложение отличное, приятный интерфейс. Но возник баг, который не решается переустановкой. Через OpenRouter не видит список моделей. Следовательно я не могу добавить новые. А переустановив приложение из за отсутствия синхронизации и старые сбросились. В результате не могу ни одну модель добавить, пишет “no models found”
Много что попробовала — ничем не фиксится

Very bug ridden

Delays, almost like it’s being hacked or something before proving output. Very very bug ridden. Not ready for public seems more like an alpha beta stage app currently.

It's gone

I clicked plus, my chat is gone. i lost it.

Amazing app

Very responsive dev

Extreme leech/Rent-seeking behaviour

As the title says they want you to pay $70 a year to 'support' them telling an LLM to (poorly) code an application and then they expect you to pay for the ACTUAL product yourself too. They want to provide nothing, no skill, no work, no service, and STILL collect $70 of rent for their 'product' that is just an interface for another rent-seeking product.

Normally I'd never say this because at least TRYING to develop an application is a good goal, it betters yourself, and maybe someday it'll better others too and I truly believe if positive things provide no reward then it sets up a system where the good folks get nothing and the lousy ones end up with everything.

That said? Getting an AI to program an application and then charging more for it than for the AI that wrote it? That's not 'good'. This is an application that shouldn't exist and a programmer who I wish had got into dance or medicine or ANY other field where doing nothing and demanding pay for it wasn't an option.

Goofy ahhh pay to use app

Pay to use app for that stupid amount of functions, what a shame and it’s subscription service! Not even a one time purchase

confused

a recent update seems to now default to openai and chatgpt, despite previous version allowing me to default to openrouter and other LLM, cant work out how to circumvent this so have deleted

Please Fix!!

PRIORITY! - Please fix the swipe to the right feature to display chat history. As much as I absolutely love this new ability, it should not be active within the editing window of the chat, especially not when trying to highlight any text within the editing window.
- Please provide the ability to delete multiple unneeded chats at a time, still love what you have already in place. I just wish there was a better way to mass-delete garbage chats that were mass produced by various implementations of my daily routine shortcuts usage.
- Please provide a better way to store/organize starred or desired chats in folders or at the least allow them to be renamed for later retrieval. It’s such a pain having to find any specific chats from the past when there a several variations of them.

THE app for newbie AI Devs & Model-hoppers

I’m a Model-hopper that’s just getting into beginner AI development, attempting to teach myself the basics the same way I learned HTML & PHP when I was in high school 25 years ago. This app is truly a godsend - it basically walks you through how to add each AI model’s API keys and makes things easy to understand for new AI developers. MUCH more user friendly than many of the alternative apps out there - and MUCH cheaper as well (only 6.99/mo for Pro membership). I’ve yet to run across any ads (even when I was still using the free version), nor have I encountered any errors or bugs. 10/10 would recommend to literally anyone involved with AI.

Review Pestering

Asked me for a review four times while trying to write my first chat message, so here’s your star. Very annoying app.

No tool use

There is no webfetch or websearch tools. Models are completely una bb Le to perform any grounding.

Even in the pro version. This is an enormous feature gap.

Im not doing this just for that

Im not downloading an apikey just so i can open or unlock the chat this app is pretty useless now if this app requires that
