1. 4/5Honestly a good idea from Google: Local AI

   [TL;DR] Great app, but some bugs need to be addressed. Could use .safetensors model support as well. I honestly think this app is genius. Let’s say that you’re out in the middle of nowhere and you need to see what type of food is safe to eat. You upload an image, and let the Gemma model do its thing. Or, when you’re back online, you can use the Agentic mode where it can access the internet (with custom plugins). You might be wondering why this review it only 4 stars. The bad part: the app is super buggy on an iPhone 15. After a second prompt, the app freezes. Want to change the model’s settings? Nope; another crash. And the problem with this app is that you can only use their special litertlm format for the models (the reason why is that it manages the orchestration, kv cache, and memory mapping all in one). It would be great to see safetensors support. Also the desktop app is bugged as well. It’s just the iPhone app but ported to Mac. So it’s just an iPhone simulator (basically). Just don’t use this on desktop; use ollama, lm studio, or vllm instead. In conclusion, this app has great potential, but would need some improvements.

2. 5/5Why should I be complaining

   I am using this app on an iPhone 14. I thought this was like Gemini and upon downloading and starting I was pretty disappointed. The AI didn’t seem that good and the app kept freezing after a couple prompts. When I looked into it, I realized this was actually Google‘s Gemma four model instead of running in a data center around on my device, which was mind blowing. Even with the freezing. I’m gonna take this experience like a plane. You can’t really complain when you’re flying 4000 feet in the air 12 times faster than anything on the ground. In AI model that runs on my device off-line is exactly like that. I’m excited to see where this type of projects by Google go!

3. 3/5It’s local, and that’s the best part

   Yes, it is smart. If you’re on a smaller iPhone with less RAM, it knows which models are available, and the models do have a lot of baked intelligence. I tried to use the one for iOS specific actions, there’s still barely any functionality. The pre-created prompts that are listed are almost all that it can do. I tried opening some apps, I tried creating an email. I tried changing any settings. It was basically utterly useless. Small local prompts that don’t memory are basically the best they can do at this point. And the worst part is there is no widget available to quickly call while still on the home screen. You actually have to go into the app in order to do a basic function that is faster to do with the widgets. It’s still a solution looking for a problem.

4. 5/5Swift & Optimizated

   As of April 2nd, this app is relatively unknown, in fact, this is likely the first actual review of this application. However despite its current lack of popularity, this application shows Google’s advancements in local A.I. with unmatched efficiency and optimization. This feels more like a local version of Google ai studio rather than the traditional Gemini app, and I am excited to see where this technology goes.

5. 5/5Works great for local LLM usage

   This is a great app if you want to be able to run Gemma models locally. I’m really surprised at how fast it runs—it made a recipe for black bean enchiladas in just 22 seconds on my iPhone 17 pro. It’s not the most user friendly and is oriented towards people testing stuff out but is great for what it is
