Interesting, yes, that make sense, there should be resellers. It is not clear how much of that money ended up going to Apple and paying for the OpenAI API access. Is Apple going to get their cut from the paying customers of OpenAI, by the way?

no. and you won’t be able to start paying from inside the app.

You must be able to start the subscription from inside the app:

3.1.3(b) Multiplatform Services: Apps that operate across multiple platforms may allow users to access content, subscriptions, or features they have acquired in your app on other platforms or your web site, including consumable items in multi-platform games, provided those items are also available as in-app purchases within the app.

'Perfectly fine' definitely doesn't mean 'usable' in my dictionary. But I see that perhaps the parent didn't mean to say that the web version can do everything the app does, so I have edited my comment to be less confrontational. Thanks.

Right. OP here, FWIW, in my colloquial English (right or wrong:) "Perfect" is, well, perfect; does everything I want and cannot be meaningfully improved. "Perfectly Fine" on the other hand, the key word is "fine". It is "eh. It mostly does the job. I cannot begrudge it too much. I have bigger things to rant about. It's perfectly fine." "Fine" is like "Nice". It's fine. It's nice. Note quite "Good", let alone "Amazing…

Yep, this is also my interpretation of the phrase.

I best equated it to "usable" since I agree it's "not quite good".

The people complaining that you can’t find it by searching verbatim: this is always the case for the first 1-2 days with an iOS app launch.

but this is openai we are talking about, you'd think apple would fast track them towards ranking higher at least to not make apple look terrible

I really do think it's just that some index/ranking doesn't get updated for about 24-48 hours - it always seemed to me to be a system issue.

Plus, OpenAI has the link on their site, which will bolster the couple days initial release traffic.

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.

I just tried it and it was the first algorithmic listing. The first listing was for another app fir AI chat with a very familiar looking logo.

It seems rather unwise of Apple to invite that OpenAI/Plugin marketplace without some kind of an agreement. No plugins right now in the App, but they’ll be coming, no?

Plugins work fine in the app. It’s just a nice webview basically.

Can't find the chart, but several of those wrapper apps made $1MMs in revenue too https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/fake-chatgpt-apps-raking-tho... The Chart: https://i.imgur.com/IYC0Pcb.png

Why not? Isn't that the business model of OpenAI? Provide access to the APIs for wrappers that are not their own products - simple as they may. Bradgpt comes to mind

What's BradGPT?

I love my iPhone but god damn does apple suck at a number of things. It’s 2023, and they have a terabyte of storage but they won’t store more than 100 numbers in your call history. Like what.

My favourite is that giving in and clicking the “open in app” banners on Reddit etc just take me to the App Store page for Reddit, even though I have the actual app installed already.

If you long press `open in app`, then it shows `open reddit` and that solves it
