Comments on PocketPal AI for Android

★★★★★ Breece May · Sep 23, 2026

To users who have decent phones but have the app crash using a model bigger than 1B? Go in settings and check if device selection is set to CPU, change it gpu or hexagon NPU (most Samsung use the NPU) should fix most if not all the crashing issues, next clear your ram and close all other apps running in the background if it is still crashing loading the model, it needs to load the entire model into the ram before it offloads what it can to the gpu/npu, from there you can run most models up 14B

★★★★☆ Mr Leon · Sep 6, 2026

I love it, the 2B models are the best if you ask me. It doesn't mess up your phone, mine's an S25 Ultra. I have no problems downloading and trying models. I wish they'd update pals, giving them their own pictures and stuff. Also, better TTS models, the ones they offer are trash. The option to use your own TTS isn't there, even though I heard it was.

★★★★★ Avinash Kumar · Sep 13, 2026

Such a good app, I have ever found, and it was really the best option for all, I hope you will really enjoy it, Hugging face plays a most vital role. There are nearly millions of models in that, instead of using chatgpt or gemini, start using local AI models and run your own AI, your AI your rules. And the pals are really lovely. Hope pocket pal AI will be in all of your pocket nowww ...💞

Still can't download models. It even says it can't reach huggingface.co and when I click view model it opens hugging face in Chrome without issue.

★★☆☆☆ Quincy Beezel · Aug 24, 2026

Need Improve Performance or at least lighter model. I could dl model but even the lightest model not function. It crashed right at the time loading.

★☆☆☆☆ Raymond Tracer · Aug 10, 2026

It stops generating output and unloads the model when you switch to another app, how useless!

★☆☆☆☆ daya · Oct 4, 2026

non-functional. Keeps kicking me out every time I'm loading a model-the cheapest one to mind you.

★☆☆☆☆ Luca Ceccato · Oct 8, 2026

Not optimized to use properly NPU, on iPhone 13 with metal it works way faster than flagship Snapdragon processors on the same model, unfortunately unusable here where we got ram...
