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"

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.

The typical nontech user doesn't know what a PWA is, which is why native apps in the App Store are still very important.

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!).

You can turn off the "Haptic Feedback" in the app's settings

Just this week, GPT-4 helped me:

* Find new artists to listen that combine techno with psytrance

* Navigate a tricky personal communication situation

* Debug a LOT of different issues

* Write new code in a language I'm not really familiar with

* Explore political ideas through simulated debate

* Search current visa requirements

* Find answers to some random history questions

* Calculate whether my tent would be blown of a mountain cliff or not

* Adjust a recipe to my taste, amount of servings and available ingridients

* Name some very abstract variables

* Remember a name of historical figure

Sure, I could do most of these just with Google, but it would take me a lot more time. Sometimes 2, sometimes 10 times more.

Can't wait when this app will be available in my region.

Yes, and you should. I also have turned off vibrations for everything but phone calls, calendar events and reminders.

Everything else has “Sounds” as off which turns off vibrations as well.

I don’t recall ever hearing Apple PR calling iOS a “walled garden”. Outside of tech I doubt most people would understand what that means. The operative word is “curated”.

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

Same. I'm sure it will show up on search in a day or do.
