System voice TTS not available

Despite the voice selection menu specifically saying that you can “pick a system voice — those are always available.” They aren’t available. Please fix.

Best App for local ai on IOS, one thing.

Best app out there for local AI. huggingface integration is flawless. The only thing I ask is for there to be a way to allow web search when supported. Other than that, it's perfect. Easy to use and truly free.

Would be 5 stars if everything was labeled for VoiceOver

Please add VoiceOver accessibility. Button elements need labeling. Blind users deserve to be able to use this.

Dude, Asghar, thanks a whole freaking lot! ^^

What?! No ads!🤯 WhaT WHaT!! Thank you!!!
Full ability to get set up!🤓
Text to voice with 3 tiers 📣, and all free 🤘🏼🙏🏼

…and for myself, the only LLM Frontend that works on iOS 15.1
Big big thank you🙏🏼 you’re a bit of a wonderful anomaly of kindness and wellbeing passing some on to others 🖖🏼
One star reviews? Your competitors cause I can’t see how that’s decently possible.

Does not Learn

Pretty pointless really. loading a model ? What for ? the model is stuck at its primary training level executions. Import & Export Chat session's ? What for ?, the LLM cannot access them, so this local AI, is unable to grow with the user. Practise with a local AI ? what for, it would be like talking to someone, that immediately forgets everything talked about. Might be interesting for a very short time.
