Not worth the $5…
All the models on this app are pre-selected with no way to actually connect to a local OpenAI API endpoint or run your own downloaded models from huggingface. It’s like this app hasn’t been touched or updated in well over a year. This should be a. Free app, not a paid one. If it was free I wouldn’t have expected more from it. But $5 is too much and maybe $0.99 would have been more fair but in reality it should have just been free. Do not recommend.

The “developers” solution to fixing their problems isn’t that they fix their code, it’s to drop support for older iPhones. What a joke. They’ll claim it’s because it’s all evolving so quickly, but their planned obsolescence of software for perfectly working phones because they’re incapable of writing software is laughable. If it was OSS, I wouldn’t have bothered writing any of this, but it’s a paid app. My recommendation is to grab PocketPal or Locally. Don’t waste your money on this. Locally has a poor UI and other limitations like that it doesn’t warn you that conversations will be cut off before you hit the context limit. PocketPal requires you to understand how models work, what to download, and what defaults you should change (and their pal system is a “system prompts in a box”, except that customization is painful and json customizations don’t work). But at least with Locally my phone doesn’t turn into a furnace and with PocketPal I can tweak the things that matter. PrivateLLM however offers none of the stability of Locally and none of the customizations of PocketPal. It’s a paid llama.cpp interface with poor context management and limited model selection. Now it’s in a crash loop because the model got into a fit yammering on and on and I have to uninstall it and reinstall it now. Oh and you only get one chat. Yep, one. No separate contexts for each chat, no separate system prompt for each model. Nope. You get a limited system of compromises that don’t work for $5. First app I’ve bought off the App Store in years and I’m reminded why I stopped bothering when the bar is so low. Their best feature is a unique quantization method, but that doesn’t matter if it doesn’t run.

Outdated
The curated models are seriously out of date.
模型不能下载
模型在国内还是下载不了 总是在0不动 不是说是自己的服务器吗 为什么还是在hug上..
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.
