Ratings and Reviews
Perfect Helper to Put Into Words
This is a cool app that will describe anything you don’t have the words to describe yourself. For instance, my cat. I took a picture of my cat sitting on a chair and it was able to describe everything about the image nicely. What is very useful is being able to use the descriptors for use in ChatGPT or another AI model for creation purposes. One request I have that prevents me from giving 5-stars is that I can’t find a way to copy and paste the output from the app. Right now I take screenshots of each paragraph, open Photos, and copy/paste each text into a document. Please add the ability to copy and paste or perhaps have a “history” where it saves the conversations for later use!
bug
I like the huggingface platform very much, so I gave it five stars, but why does it keep flashing back when I use it?
Overall, it’s a nice app with a few minor bugs.
It’s a decent app to run visual models offline, but it falls short in several aspects. Every time I reopen the app, it gets stuck initializing the model and then proceeds to download the models again. Additionally, the offline mode is not well-supported. When there’s no internet connection, it displays an error message indicating “no internet connection.”
