Honestly one of the best but unreadable text

Out of all the apps I’ve been experimenting with on iOS for gguf models this is one of the best but the text formatting is terrible. There’s no bold, no italics or fonts. Also no line breaks or double spacing just endless run on sentence unreadable output.

I’d really prefer this over most other stuff but that part is very frustrating. Please fix

Suggestion

I’d like to see haptic feedback as an option and landscape mode could use some help. Otherwise it’s perfect.

Good but missing an important feature

It’s really great of an app, I use it daily but it needs to make it so that it automatically delete any older messages in the chat when the context gets too big. I’m tired of having to start a new chat everyone I’m close to 8k context, and would prefer if the system automatically removed older chat messages in the conversation memory-that way it’s ongoing.
