4/55 Stars for these Features!
Fantastic app, I like the selection of models and they run great on the M4 chip of the iPhone 16 Max and iPad Pro. System prompt is also great for some tweaks to responses. The most simple and important feature (aside from model memory) that Private LLM needs is to be able to edit the responses of the AI. I enjoy the chatbot's responses but hate that it'll pull context from previous responses and loop entire phrases regardless if I regenerate its response or edit mine. Sometimes I don't like how the model formatted its response and want to change it without clearing the convo and retrying multiple times. The second feature that would be a quality of life is to be able to save conversations within the app. At the very least, export them as a whole without needing to screenshot, grab text, paste, correct, and format it elsewhere. I learned early on that copying text blocks at a time can cause the app to reload its model and even clear the conversation. A bot refresh would also be nice to clear older message context during a longer conversation to keep the model fast and responsive, but that can coincide with model memory to more easily pull specific facts you want it to remember in the first place without having to create a queue of explanations to pick up where you left off at. Useful if you switch models for different purposes like organizing, summarizing, q&a vs. generation, editing, brainstorming, vs. chatting.

4/5Getting there!
UPDATE: app is much faster now. Still waiting on a prompt library which would be awesome, but the speed and quality is increasing seemingly by the day. There was a small period of time where it didn’t work on the 13 mini but that has been fixed. I’m happy with the amount of work the devs are putting in and I’m hopeful for more features in the future. MLC chat is comparable in speed and quality but this app is looking to widen the gap by adding more features in the (hopefully near) future. Old review: In comparison to MLC chat (free and open source) this app is lacking. MLC chat offers the ability to install additional models, and the default is on par or better than this apps responses (like gpt 3 level, lots of incorrect information and it kinda goes wild when explaining things). Additionally, performance is abysmal comparatively for better quality responses on MLC chat. It’s a great idea but lacks the ability to fine tune. Being able to change the temperature and other settings for the model would be great. Would also be cool if we could create a starting prompt (or a library to choose from) for the AI so it can be used for things like role playing or DND. Kinda bummed that it’s $5 since I was expecting a lot more than MLC AIs app for the pricing. Instead I’ll be uninstalling and checking back later for new features and possible performance increases. If you’re reading this and thinking about buying it, you should probably check out MLC chat for now and just wait for more features and performance updates.

5/5So much potential
I've been using this app for a couple of months at this point. When it was first released, it was a neat proof of concept, but it only supported 7B models and was overall just too simple to use effectively. With a recent update, a 13B model was released for all macs with 16GB of memory, and it makes such a huge difference! It's not quite at the same level as ChatGPT 3.5T, but it's close enough that I never use 3.5T anymore; this is my go-to. I greatly appreciate the on-device processing (hallelujah privacy!), and it doesn't even use too much power - my battery still lasts for hours and hours. The performance is also great; my base M1 Air powers right through the prompts. I only have two complaints about the app at this point. 1) The 13B model uses about 12GB of memory by itself, which does force the use of swap on a 16GB Air. Not much the dev can do about this, but it is something to keep in mind. You'll want to close out of other programs before launching this. 2) There still is no feature that has separate conversations. If you want to start a new conversation, you need to delete the existing conversation. I'd love it if we could get separate conversations in a future update; it would make this app so much easier to use. Overall, I love it and do not regret buying it at all. I can't wait to see what future updates bring :)

5/5A lot of work went into this
PLLM manages to make an iPhone feel like a MacBook with the way it handles quantization. I would say that if you’re on the fence about whether to buy this app, consider a few things. 1: ChatGPT Plus is $20/month. This is 25% of that and you have it forever. 2: if you’re looking for an experience that offers seamless tool calling, online searches, or agentic flows, you’re not going to find that locally on a smartphone. This app isn’t the limiting factor. 3: this app isn’t for you if what you care about is instant syncing; <1 second latency, and memory between chats. —- I’m sure the developer would agree when I say that this app isn’t for everyone. But it IS for anyone who knows what they need and, like me, has come to realize that no other iOS app currently offers anything like this. Locally. It goes without saying that I’m beyond satisfied with my purchase. I was shocked not only that buying it once gives it to my whole iCloud family group, but also includes the MacBook version. The M3 Pro simply annihilates even the iPhone 17 series. One very simple request: if it’s possible, having chat history would be really, really helpful. Even if that has to look like adding the ability to export & re-import JSON chat files.

5/5Dope. Dangerous, but dope.
The genie has been out the bottle since GPT 1 & 2 were open source and it’s never going back in. This app has been very useful for times when I have no reception like when I went to Red Rock in Nevada with my wife’s family, hypothesized that the rocks were likely red due to the fact that iron rusts that color and the rock is most likely iron rich. I had zero reception but because this runs locally, I was able to confirm that was the reason and share that fun fact with everyone. It’s like having all human knowledge in your phone. That said, Dolphin specifically is totally dangerous with the right pre-prompt in the wrong hands. But I believe in freedom so I still deem it dope overall. 5 well deserved stars.

I would say that if you’re on the fence about whether to buy this app, consider a few things. 1: ChatGPT Plus is $20/month. This is 25% of that and you have it forever. 2: if you’re looking for an experience that offers seamless tool calling, online searches, or agentic flows, you’re not going to find that locally on a smartphone. This app isn’t the limiting factor. 3: this app isn’t for you if what you care about is instant syncing; <1 second latency, and memory between chats. —- I’m sure the developer would agree when I say that this app isn’t for everyone. But it IS for anyone who knows what they need and, like me, has come to realize that no other iOS app currently offers anything like this. Locally. It goes without saying that I’m beyond satisfied with my purchase. I was shocked not only that buying it once gives it to my whole iCloud family group, but also includes the MacBook version. The M3 Pro simply annihilates even the iPhone 17 series. One very simple request: if it’s possible, having chat history would be really, really helpful. Even if that has to look like adding the ability to export & re-import JSON chat files.",

"body": "The genie has been out the bottle since GPT 1 & 2 were open source and it’s never going back in. This app has been very useful for times when I have no reception like when I went to Red Rock in Nevada with my wife’s family, hypothesized that the rocks were likely red due to the fact that iron rusts that color and the rock is most likely iron rich. I had zero reception but because this runs locally, I was able to confirm that was the reason and share that fun fact with everyone. It’s like having all human knowledge in your phone. That said, Dolphin specifically is totally dangerous with the right pre-prompt in the wrong hands. But I believe in freedom so I still deem it dope overall. 5 well deserved stars.",
