This release is more relevant as there have been very many fake ChatGPT apps that leveraged OpenAI's branding. Case in point, the App Store release app subtitle is "The official app by OpenAI"

its basically impossible to find via app store search.

It takes some time to index.

None so far! It hasn't even asked for my clipboard access.

It now looks like the short term ChatGPT copycat grifter apps on the App Store are now going to start packing their bags now. If they don't, Apple will do it for them.

Expect this one to take over the app store and remain the top 10 apps for a very long time.

Or use Poe, which also offers GPT-4 at the same price as a ChatGPT sub.

Wow, just tried to search organically and there are an awful lot of existing apps already spun up to give you access to ChatGPT. I wonder if Apple will help them be prioritized in the rankings or if they'll be pushed into spending ad dollars to appear at the top of the search.

There is probably no other reason to bring this app to iOS and Android. ChatGPT works very well as a PWA added to home screens.

Yeah. I saw this announcement, and searched both "chatgpt" and "open ai" (sic, as auto-suggested) in the App Store and gave up scrolling looking for it. The unofficial app logos look waaaay closer to the ChatGPT logo than the official white logo does, and the SEO (ASO?) seems poor. Not sure what either party can do about it though, but it's a disappointing situation.
