#383This 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.
It's walled garden enough in that any developer that try to present their app to be associated with OpenAI or as an official app get their app rejected.

I'm in Australia. Searching for "openai chatgpt" returns all those third-party wrappers, but not the official one.
Tried link from blog post - "App is currently not available in your country".
They say in the post they'll roll it out to other countries in the coming weeks.

Oh, I didn't mean to start an iPhone rant, but if we're going there... * Let me put the icon where I want it. seriously. if my OCD wants this icon on bottom right of my screen, let me! * Let me have an icon in multiple places. if my OCD wants this app in both "Media" and "Entertainment" folder, let me! * Allow me to put stuff onto the phone.

You need to use iTunes. There’s a file transfer tab somewhere. Or wait, it’s Finder now. They took the syncing out of iTunes. It’s also not called iTunes anymore I just realized. Ok, I’m old. :p
Now imagine a Windows user like myself.... :O

#386"This app is not available in your country or region" Seriously? When is this idiotic corporate idea going to die? Internet has no regions. (BTW, I pay for ChatGPT plus)
Unfortunately, the internet is getting more and more balkanized. What people see in one country is becoming completely different from what people see in another country, and often things are completely inaccessible between countries. Not to mention that even within countries it's becoming impossible to see the same things as someone else.
Wow, TIL "balkanize" is a word. I love that!

If they are probably they won't say it
Why is act like it’s some great conspiracy? If you subscribe through the App Store, Apple gets 30%. If you don’t, Apple won’t.
> If you subscribe through the App Store, Apple gets 30%.
15%. The only companies that pay 30% are the ones earning over a million dollars a year from things other than long-term subscriptions.

> They would be "fake" if they claim to be made by OpenAI, which they don't. Very many did that or implied an association with OpenAI, which is why OpenAI had to release updated branding guidelines ( https://openai.com/brand ) and started enforcing takedowns against apps/domains using GPT in their name.
Sure, I was looking at the top apps just now. Apparently OpenAI is explicitly okay with WhateverChat powered by ChatGPT .
This is pretty typical for the App Store / Play Store and isn’t anything particular to OpenAI. If there is a third-party service Foo that app Bar uses, then “Foo Bar” is questionable for trademark reasons and the common practice is to use “Bar for Foo” instead.

#389Funnily enough I've been in contact with the Apple Support Team complaining about the scam "GPT" apps. Their reply, verbatim: "We take reports of fraudulent behavior very seriously. Please provide the following so we can investigate the situation: Steps to reproduce the behavior: Screenshots of the behavior on the iTunes Store or App Store: Names and links to the Apps: After we receive this information, our team will…
Are they scam apps, though? If they use any GPT model or API they're real apps. Just because OpenAI didn't make an app first doesn't mean they're the only ones that can create apps for interfacing with GPT networks.

Yes, there are multiple scam apps
