Earlier quoted context omitted.

its basically impossible to find via app store search.

also had the same issue. Figured after the first page it would probably show up but I scrolled multiple pages and still nothing.

There’s a direct link on the article. It’s not available in my country though. Or at least that’s the error message I got.

Update:

“We're starting our rollout in the US and will expand to additional countries in the coming weeks”

Wonder what permissions it wants

So far just microphone access if you want to use voice to search.

"This app requires iOS 16.1 or later"

Pure laziness.

Its privacy report card is not great.

Jeez, the app is impossible to find among all the fakes. I had to go to openai's website and use the link there.

NOT loving the excessive vibrations on the phone. It increases my anxiety somehow... I'd remove it honestly or make it 10% of what it is in certain cases only.

I might be alone in this, but we've been trained for vibrations to mean something. Vibrating the phone on every line or response from ChatGPT seems excessive to me (and a battery drain as well!).

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"

>very many fake ChatGPT apps

But its for our security to have a closed ecosyste---Walled Garden. Woah there, almost didn't stick to the marketing that we were all taught.

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.

I mostly agree, but the average person doesn't know that's even an option. They hear "You should use ChatGPT!" and they go straight to the app store to try it out.

Only available in the US at the moment.

I wonder what’s the reasoning behind limiting availability of an app for a product that’s already widely available.
