Not functional

Absolute trash. Does not work as AI. It’s unable to answer your questions and is unable to proofread or verify information. Absolute trash.

Don’t waste your money

It doesn’t work on my iPhone, just loops endlessly or generates never-ending #s
T281984T281984

doesn’t save conversation history

which is the entire point of using local ai instead of just using an online one without logging in. waste of $5 :/

also, the app is significantly less useful than other ai since it can’t do web search

Models keep freezing

Most models keep freezing during download or when a model downloads it wont load and the app crashes now thinking of it any model beside the preinstalled model don’t work. Help
