I'm assuming this is not legitimate?

Description says has no affiliation with Ollama. Wonder why people do this without asking first.

Be that as it may, it remains misleading. This is an app for iOS, most people searching and downloading will do so via the App Store on their phone, not via their computer as in your screenshit. The line stating that there is “no affiliation” is only shown when the app’s description is expanded as shown in the screenshots. The same name and logo are likely to lead people into thinking this app was developed officially.

Yeah, it's not an official app. There's a couple other mobile ollama clients that people in the community have made too if you're interested:

I think making a front end app and distributing it on a mobile platform is ok. But using the name and logo is distasteful at best. I really hope the dev of this iOS app changes the name and logo in the interest of the ollama project.
