The app sounds lovely, but I already encountered many issues with accessibility and I would appreciate if you could improve those in future versions, please **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this—I really appreciate it. I’ve made several improvements in the latest update, including better labeling and navigation for screen readers. I’m continuing to refine this, so your feedback is very helpful. If you’re open to it, I’d love for you to try the latest version and let me know how it feels. ### 2/5 — Antiquated *2026-04-08* The AI models available are very old and not cutting edge like Gemma 4 or Bonsai 1bit. I enjoyed this app at the beginning but canceled my subscription. I switched to Locally AI, Privacy AI, and On-Device AI. Of those three Locally AI and Privacy AI are the most visually pleasing. Locally AI has the option for the most advanced models. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback — I understand where you’re coming from. PrivacyAI is designed to run models fully on-device, which means every model has to be carefully optimized to work smoothly and privately on your phone. Because of that, newer models take a bit longer to arrive That said, the goal is to provide a fast, private, and reliable experience, and I’m continuously working on bringing better models as they become ready for on-device use. If privacy and running everything locally matter to you, I think you’ll still find a lot of value here I’m really glad you liked the design. Thanks again for trying the app ### 4/5 — Great App, But Please Allow External Payments *2025-04-27* Some people don't use or trust Apply Pay or want their phone completely unlinked from them (me) if ever stolen. Please allow a method for people pay you directly through your Desktop/Browser site. I'll never pay an app through the Apple Play Store. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your support! I’m a solo developer and really appreciate thoughtful feedback like yours. I understand your concerns—privacy and user trust are very important to me. Thanks again for using Privacy AI! ### 4/5 — Wonderful! Just one issue! *2025-03-31* I’m having a wonderful time with this app. My only issue is that with some of the bots, the chats slow down and then eventually freeze. Then my app crashes. I have a lot of memory space on my phone so I’m unsure of why. Still, it’s fun while it’s working. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! I’m really glad you’re enjoying Privacy AI! The slowdown and crashes you’re experiencing are likely due to memory (RAM) limitations rather than storage space. Some models require a lot of RAM, which can lead to slowdowns over time. I’m continually working on optimizations to improve performance and stability, so future updates should help with this issue. In the meantime, trying a smaller model or restarting the app between long sessions may help. Thanks for your support, and I appreciate your patience as I continue improving the app! — Pablo ### 2/5 — No permite borrar modelos y algunos modelos no terminan de descargar *2025-03-03, version 3.0* Tengo IPhone 15 pro Max ya pesar de tener espacio el meta llama 3.1-8B faltando 2 archivos se frizo y nunca termino de descargar…lo quise borrar y tampoco pude hacerlo muy frustrante ### 4/5 — Interesting *2025-02-03, version 2.2.2* Even deepseek available just like all ai app, didn’t seem ok for landscape mode. Too bad the response generation is sluggish and didn’t use the whole page to display. Some into is outdated too. Gemma mode crush, Phi too. Ask “tell me a joke” and you will see. Wow if you ask 2025 Chinese new year sign, each time you get a different result?? ### 1/5 — Shouldn't have a subscription *2025-02-03* ... **Developer response:** I understand that subscriptions aren’t for everyone, which is why Privacy AI also offers a one-time purchase option. My goal is to provide flexibility so users can choose what works best for them. The subscription helps support ongoing development, allowing me to continuously improve the app, add new features, and expand model support. That said, I appreciate your feedback and always welcome suggestions on how to make Privacy AI better! — Pablo ### 1/5 — Unable to download other models *2025-02-02* Unable to download other models. Very slow and they never finished downloading. No even a single one. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear you’re having trouble downloading models! That shouldn’t be happening. A few things that might help: • Make sure you have a stable internet connection. • Check if you have enough storage space available on your device. • Keep the app open while the models are downloading. Thanks for your patience! — Pablo ### 5/5 — Fantastic job ‼️ *2025-02-02* Thank you to the developer for being proactive & efficient in creating a great app. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! I truly appreciate your support and feedback—it keeps me motivated to keep improving Privacy AI. If you ever have suggestions or ideas, I’d love to hear them! — Pablo ### 1/5 — SCAM *2025-02-02* Advertised on appsgonefree. Did not honor the claim. Report for scam **Developer response:** I’m sorry for any confusion regarding the promotion. Privacy AI was indeed offered for free on AppsGoneFree. The promotion was also available only until February 2 as stated. I strive to be transparent with all promotions, and I appreciate your feedback. If you have any concerns, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to clarify anything. — Pablo ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t ask for a review until I’ve used your product. *2025-12-08* This is scummy. Don’t do this until I’ve used your product. Don’t fish for reviews. If the product is good, then you can wait until I have experienced it. If you feel the need to interrupt me setting up your app for a review, I will always give a single star. **Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback — and fair point. The review prompt is meant to give people an easy way to share impressions, but we understand that seeing it too early can feel frustrating. Appreciate you giving the app a try. ### 1/5 — asked for rating first thing *2025-11-27, version 4.2* didnt even get a chance to try it. first screen. = 1 star ### 1/5 — Don’t even bother *2025-11-24, version 4.2* This app shuts down immediately on attempting to start a session, not to mention the nag add asking for a sub with a 7 day trial( which is about the only aspect of the app that “works”), ### 1/5 — Total grifters *2025-07-22* Unethical dishonest garbage people **Developer response:** I’m sorry you feel that way. Privacy AI is fully developed and maintained by me as an independent developer, and I’m committed to being transparent and fair with users. If you had a specific issue or concern, I’d like to understand it so I can address it directly. ### 1/5 — AppsGoneFree Free Lifetime Version no good *2025-07-19* I was supposed to get this App's lifetime Version for free today but app didn't show settings anywhere. I had to click on "Try For Free" to go anywhere. Then message came up that they will let me know 2 days before trial is over. I want to cancel this trial now and delete this app!!! ### 1/5 — IA maluca *2025-07-19, version 4.0.3* Testei a DeepSeek e outras IAs e a IA disse que ia me matar após pedir um exercício de raciocino e de repente começou a falar nada com nada, não consigo entender uma utilidade para isto. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing on iPad Pro *2025-07-18* After over a gigabyte for the app size to download and then do the on boarding every time I try to use the app crashes it was giving me a pop up winning a review so much to the point that I just went ahead and put a three as a neutral thing I will review when I get a chance, but it just keeps crashing **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback! We’re sorry about the trouble you experienced. The app requires a minimum of 3 GB of RAM to run smoothly, which might explain the crashes on some devices. We’ve also already fixed the bug with the review pop-up and added a “Skip” button so you can bypass the onboarding more easily in the latest update. Please try updating to the newest version, and if the issue persists, feel free to contact us directly so we can help you out. Thanks for giving Privacy AI a try! -Pablo ### 1/5 — Noiado *2025-07-18, version 4.0.1* Desisti depois que ele me falou que Brasília fica no Rio Grande do Sul e que Jesus Cristo nasceu em Belém do Pará! Ahahaha ### 1/5 — Nao funciona *2025-04-06, version 3.1.1* Nao funciona ### 1/5 — One model downloaded after almost a week *2025-02-07* I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but after one week all models except one are still downloading and the “email report” link in the Help tab doesn’t work. **Developer response:** Hi, Thanks for sharing your feedback. I take all user concerns seriously, but after checking, everything is working as expected on our end, including model downloads and the support email link. If you’re experiencing issues, please ensure you have a stable internet connection and enough storage, as models are quite large. You can also try swiping left on stuck downloads to remove and restart them. If you still need help, feel free to reach out directly—I am happy to assist! Best, Pablo ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Accessible private AI. *2025-12-23* Thanks for making this app accessible with VoiceOver. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words, this truly means a lot to me. I’m a solo developer, and making Privacy AI accessible, including full VoiceOver support, has been very important to me from day one. I’m really glad it’s helping you. Your feedback genuinely made my day. ### 5/5 — Opens up AI for experiments *2025-09-26, version 4.1* It’s running locally and so I don’t worry about what I’m asking. Seems obvious, but somehow I worry less about tokens and spying which opens me up to experimenting with prompting techniques which has really improved my “relationships” with other AIs I look forward to more and more models being added … lots to choose from already :) ### 5/5 — 🤓 *2025-07-24* 39.99 Lifetime license **Developer response:** Thanks for checking out Privacy AI! 🤓 ### 5/5 — Gracias *2025-07-21* Dios te bendiga **Developer response:** ¡Gracias, Jk8488! 🙏 Dios te bendiga también. Me alegra mucho saber que valoras la app. ### 5/5 — Works *2025-06-27* Does what it says out of the box. Would love to see if there’s a possibility of local document uploading/reading and maybe image generation as the iPhones get faster with the newer models. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! While we’d love to add local document uploads and image generation, the technical complexity (especially running fully on-device) makes it not feasible at the moment. We’re always exploring future improvements as hardware advances, though! ### 5/5 — Top App *2025-05-14, version 3.1.2* Also wenn man Speicher hat ist das eine schnellere bessere Alternative . Mann kann es schnell und fix benutzen ### 5/5 — Update on the dolphin addition *2025-03-30, version 3.1.1* For whatever reason 1.5 hallucinates things HARD. The others don’t seem to have that issue. Either way still a good app ### 5/5 — The awesome app *2025-02-27, version 3.0* This is the best app to use DeepSeek locally on phone. ### 5/5 — Think the bug is gone *2025-02-04* It seems to an honest app, you can download models to use offline. **Developer response:** Glad to hear that! I appreciate you giving Privacy AI a chance. Keeping everything private and offline is a core goal of the app. If you ever have any suggestions or run into any issues, feel free to share! — Pablo ### 5/5 — iPhone 15 pro max Deepseek 8B app crashed *2025-02-03* when load the deepseek 8B, crashed and out of the app **Developer response:** Sorry about that! This issue was addressed in the last update, so please make sure you’re using the latest version of Privacy AI. If you still experience any crashes, feel free to reach out with details—I’m always working to improve stability.
