Patagonia AI - Private Chat

First of all think it’s kind of odd that when you click on “app support” for this app’s iOS AppStore page, you go to the developer website. But it has absolutely nothing to do with this app whatsoever. It’s in Swedish and has random facts on the page such as getting a corona dog (ie. Getting a dog during Covid). So that in and of itself is pretty odd. Also not sure how this app can claim to offer all of these features 100% free with no ads and no data collected. That’s a good thing if true but can’t understand how this can be accomplished in today’s AI app marketplace. Finally with the bugs: updated the app with the most recent update and tried to download the deepseek ai model. Took a lot longer than it should have especially considering ultra fast WiFi speeds, so kind of a red flag there. But after it finished downloading, tried to use it in any way I could. And the app would crash. Even something as simple as tapping in the text box where you would type causes the app to go black and crash. And then my phone started to slowdown which isn’t normal. And on top of all that my WiFi connection was mysteriously lost. Tried deleting and reinstalling the app with the same steps above. Same occurrence. Even went so far as to reset network settings and then repeated the steps above. And same occurrence. Seems pretty odd and not sure what to make of it but if this is a bug it’s a pretty big one.

Two important features missing: 1, chat history. 2, export generated images. Please consider supporting these essential features, that will be perfect!

Bad starts due to crashes, unable to submit my inputted texts, etc. Now, it works even though slow in my 12 mini's iOS v18.2.1. Hopefully more improvements and fixes since developer is good and fast.

Thank you Mr Matias for giving us the chance to try your app. I think the concept and idea is great, however the app needs continuous improvement to fix. I wonder why a message came to me saying: Your device has less than 3788 of memory and so this model cannot be initialized ?!

Does do what it says, as AI. However, it is too slow to respond every single time. You could fall asleep waiting for it. iPhone 12 Pro w latest iOS 18. Is that considered old? No other AI app is slow, on it.

I got this for free so I guess I shouldn’t complain, but it takes forever to return a result.

"As someone who relies heavily on AI chatbots for various tasks, I was really excited to try out this new chat app. The initial experience was quite impressive - the interface is sleek and user-friendly, and the AI's responses were coherent and relevant to my queries. However, one major feature that I found to be lacking was the chat history functionality. During my conversations, I often needed to refer back to previous information or instructions that I had provided, but the app did not retain the chat history in an accessible manner. This made it difficult to pick up where I left off or review important details from our previous exchanges. I understand that privacy and security are important considerations for AI chat apps, but having the option to view and manage my chat history would be incredibly valuable. Being able to bookmark or save key conversations would greatly enhance the usability and productivity of this tool.

App is well designed. Beyond that, it needs a ton of work. It generates text slowly and is extremely biased and politically correct to a nauseating extent. I would love to be able to use my own choice of LLM rather than being stuck with whatever is being forced on users.

“Sorry, your device cannot provide 3788.8MB Memory as requested to the app, so we cannot initialize this model on this device. Please try on a newer device” Using IPhone 12 Mini chat gpt and both perplexity along with others work. Hmm but indeed those devices primely don’t run locally offline on devices.

I love the respect for private and secure use that this app is built on. Just a couple things I’d like to see improved: When receiving a response, text comes in one word at a time, very slowly. Often, responses are left incomplete. Once improved, I will update my review. Thank you for your efforts!
