I've never looked at the app store rankings before. Number 3 is a app for buying shoes? That seems quite specific.
People will always need shoes.

#22Considering App Store Ranking is based on recent volume, this just says that a lot of people download Claude over ChatGPT in the last 24-48 hours.

#23I just searched the play store to download claude myself. I had to scroll a page and a half past sex bot apps to find it.
Meanwhile I have a working desktop app but this magic email link nonsense doesnt seem to work on my phone.

#24Obvious political reasons and implications aside, a clear quality gap opened up late last year when Opus 4.5 was released vs. GPT-5. Opus was obviously and demonstrably superior to any GPT-5 tier. The release of GPT-5.2 didn't improve matters, and then Opus 4.6 widened the gap further. Right now talking to GPT-5.2 Pro is 10x slower than chatting with Opus 4.6 and the output returned is, nevertheless, generally lower…
no, it is because of the public perspection of Anthropic holding a principled stance against allowing their software to pull the trigger and kill humans. ChatGPT still has the bigger brand name recognition.
If that's entirely the case, there could still be interesting implications, as people who switch to Claude are unlikely to switch back to ChatGPT in the near future. (If, that is, they regularly use LLMs for any technical or professional task.)

I guarantee you the people downloading these apps aren't thinking about that. They use what works best.

I just cancelled my OpenAI $200 sub yesterday because of all this, but sadly I can't agree.
Codex 5.3 Xhigh > Opus 4.6 in my work to this point.
Hoping for Opus 4.7 or whatever comes next to rectify this as I'm a bit annoyed over having to drop to a lower quality model.

I am one of the people who uninstalled ChatGPT and closed their account and installed Claude in the last 24 hours. I know plenty of others who did the same. I wonder whether this trend can be sustained.

#30Why is Dick's Sporting Goods in the top 3?
I’m not sure why everybody else likes it, but for me, the Move feature gives me 3 points per day for doing what I already do (10k steps, 3mi run, or 30 active minutes). It makes the $10 rewards flow in more quickly.
