### 1/5 — horriable

*2026-06-23*

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

**Developer response:** We apologize for the frustration. Please email us at contact@mail.secretai.io so we can assist you in troubleshooting the model import process. Your feedback helps us improve the user experience of our offline AI assistant.

### 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.

### 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

### 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*

..

### 1/5 — Does not permit image generation

*2025-07-19, version 1.5.4*

I have tried over 50 AI off of HuggingFace, 15 of which are EXPLICITLY LISTED as capable of text-to-image and another 20 which are claimed to be by users.

They do not function on this app.

Overall this app is a nice idea and WOULD be worth money IF IT FUNCTIONED, but it is currently handicapped and worthless unless you want to spend $120 for unlimited texting with 1B-3B models.  Yes, image generation is difficult, AND YET OTHER APPS DO IT (local is slow and phone needs to be charging, but still…)

I strongly suspect this app actively blocks text-to-image.  And I’m not spending money to find out.

### 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 ..

### 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.

### 5/5 — Fast AI

*2025-08-24, version 1.6.5*

it answer like in 1 sec dude with qwen2.5vl

### 5/5 — Nice Design

*2025-08-19, version 1.6.4*

Love the colors & buttons r cute. thank u for building this!

## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — works offline

*2025-08-19, version 1.6.4*

whoaaa no wifi still talk to it

### 5/5 — Recommended! definitely the best one so far

*2025-08-11*

I’ve been using this app for several weeks, and it helped me a lot. My work requires me to stay offline due to some security restrictions, only Secret AI can help me handle various writing tasks. Appreciate for it.

For other users in my situation, I recommend trying Gemma 3 or 3n - they are more than capable. Of course I can’t wait to see faster and smarter models in the near future:)

**Developer response:** Thank you K.Allen1998! So happy Secret AI is your go-to offline AI assistant for work! We're excited about bringing faster, smarter local AI models soon. Stay tuned! ⭐

### 5/5 — amazing siri

*2025-08-10, version 1.6.2*

Works with siri, amazing!

### 5/5 — Nice APP

*2025-08-07*

exactly what I was looking for

**Developer response:** Thank you! We're so happy Secret AI met your expectations for private offline AI chat. Enjoy!

### 5/5 — Offline mode works like a charm

*2025-06-18, version 1.4.0*

Excellent app, works great on my iPhone and M1  & M3 MacBook Pro. Surprised to see how well it works on my iPhone even in airplane mode. Great for everyone who needs an AI assistant for daily tasks. You can load up multiple models
