Works nicely

It is the chat app I’m using now after ChatBox AI. I use it because of the sync to iCloud and the integration with open router.
My top request features are:
- edit prompt and try again
- view total cost of the conversation
- rename conversation title

Thank you

Response from developer

Thank you for the review and suggestions.

User-Friendly, does more than I could ask

This is so good for mobile users, I would recommend this to everyone who uses open router and wants the same experience on their phone.

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind review

Beautiful

I love that it’s simple and does its job quite well, ZDR option is awesome. For us nerds who care enough about privacy to use this app though, it would be nice if it was open source so that we could double check the code, thank you!

Response from developer

Thank you for your review and proposal to open source.

Democratizes AI

I love this app. It brings most AI models to your pocket. Great for exploring new models, moving your chats to zero data retention, and getting fine grained control over each request.

❤️

Finally!

So far I love this product on iOS. I’d love to see it become a leading client app since it just makes sense to use it.

At some point it would be great to have a direct download native macOS desktop app for those of us who don’t use the Mac App Store.

Thanks for building this and keep shipping!

Response from developer

I appreciate the feedback. You can now download Router Chat for macOS directly from router-chat.com/download. Thanks for the suggestion.
