### 1/5 — horriable

*2026-06-23*

it said NeEd A nEw MoDeL but it would not let me make one

### 1/5 — 120 permanent is very overpriced, doesn't even support image gen

*2026-06-18, version 1.11.2*

It doesn't do anything that other free apps already do.  The free apps actually have more features.

### 5/5 — Crash…

*2026-03-29, version 1.10.4*

I’ve been enjoying this app for quite sometime but I’m having an unfortunate issue.. the app crashes after 6-7 chats.. my guess is that the device runs out of memory.. please resolve this issue.. I’m using an iPhone 17 pro max ..

### 1/5 — 差评，收费太多

*2026-03-05, version 1.10.1*

在这个到处都是免费ai和客户端年代。上来就是各种收费，很快就会被用户抛弃，倒闭。就差把我们打个包，用开源模型，快来给我付费写在脸上了

### 5/5 — This is the best local llm manager in the market imo

*2026-02-13, version 1.9.1*

This one is a bit up there in price but from my experience this one doesn't skip a beat as far as the features are concerned and there are no bugs and errors involved unlike a great deal of others I've encountered. And the clean interface points out which models would rank out of memory for the models usage which is nice.

### 1/5 — Бесполезно

*2025-10-01, version 1.7.1*

Просят деньги за функционал, который бесплатен в других приложениях (покет пал и т.д.)

### 1/5 — фото платно делает

*2025-09-19, version 1.7.1*
