5/5Exactly what I needed
I’ve been using this app since it came out. I’ve long wished for certain features and hoped for continued updates. It’s worked fine, however, the past 5 versions or so have finally given me the features I’ve been waiting for the whole time and it’s amazing. Separate system prompts, chat scoped system prompts,, toggleable parameters, more fixes to the streaming text Views, all the newer OpenRouter backend tool support. He even added COMPACTION! That’s amazing! Thank you so much! Love this app.

5/5Great app!
I have looked around for different LLM API Clients for a while now and this one is definitely the best one I’ve tried by far. It has sync with iCloud so I can use it with my Mac, headless search (didn’t even know that was possible), and easy access to all the models you want (I use DeepInfra). Honestly can’t believe you give it away for free but I’m glad you do :)

5/5Excellent LLM client
I’ve been using local LLMs through openwebui for a while, but the lack of a proper iPad client makes the usability hard. Cumbersome is an excellent alternative to being able to access models you host on your own network. If you use VPN or tailscale, you’ll always have access to these models.

5/5Just the right amount of complexity
Reading the history of this developer (hi, Peter!), I shouldn’t be surprised at how well this app is put together. It integrates complexity very well. It thoughtfully fills gaps between what models offer and clients typically provide. Plus it’s just really (really) fast to start and sync.

5/5Very awesome, but..
The app itself is pretty cool! And very nice and easy to use for Local LLMs, but I do have an issue.. some APIs actually provide free-to-use, with no api key required… and the app needs an API key, so im asking if we can get update to make it not needed or whatever. Overall, Thanks!

It’s worked fine, however, the past 5 versions or so have finally given me the features I’ve been waiting for the whole time and it’s amazing. Separate system prompts, chat scoped system prompts,, toggleable parameters, more fixes to the streaming text Views, all the newer OpenRouter backend tool support. He even added COMPACTION! That’s amazing! Thank you so much! Love this app.",

It has sync with iCloud so I can use it with my Mac, headless search (didn’t even know that was possible), and easy access to all the models you want (I use DeepInfra). Honestly can’t believe you give it away for free but I’m glad you do :)",

Cumbersome is an excellent alternative to being able to access models you host on your own network. If you use VPN or tailscale, you’ll always have access to these models.",

And very nice and easy to use for Local LLMs, but I do have an issue.. some APIs actually provide free-to-use, with no api key required… and the app needs an API key, so im asking if we can get update to make it not needed or whatever. Overall, Thanks!",
