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

C’est pire que prévu ! À faire tant que rien est fait!!!

Ça Chauffe! … Y’a pas à dire, le site Web est bien fait. Par rapport aux autres applications que j’ai pu tester et utiliser, c’est bien la pire ou la plus compliquée à comprendre ! Il me répond toujours à côté. J’ai vraiment l’impression d’avoir été trompé, arnaqué ! Pourquoi Apple laisse cela sur l’App. Store, sont-ils complices???
