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.

But yet they do…

They do what? They do not need to. But they ARE, because they want to. You and the other simply misunderstand that Apple rule because it's written strangely. Do YOU have first hand experience with this rule? Go do your research.

You mean you won’t be able to start the subscription from the app by clicking on the “Upgrade to ChatGPT Plus” right on the settings panel in the app?

no

You realize you can subscribe within the app right?

Want that only on year 2 though? First year at 30%. Regardless I expect open ai to do well over a million or year

I clicked on the link on my PC. Noted the name of the app ("Openai ChatGP") and the description ("The official app by OpenAI") I opened App Store on my iPhone and typed the name of the app, verbatim . The official/correct app was not in the first 20 entries (which is as far as I was willing to scroll). Which, to me: 1. Shows why an official app is needed even though the web version works perfectly fine on iPhone and…

Are you outside the US? I got the same results, but then realised it's only available in the US at the moment.

Even in US, if you search for e.g. "GPT" instead of "ChatGPT", the top search results are all third party apps, and some of them seem like they deliberately copy the official website look and feel.

Waiting the android one, will love it. Btw is there anyway to export or do quick copy paste over long conversation? Seems like not possible to easily scroll and select the whole convo.

Not sure if it's in the app, but on their website, if you go to Settings -> Data Control, there's a button to export all your conversations.

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.

Yea, AppStore search is terrible. I often revert to my webbrowser/search engine to search for AppStore apps, because i can't find them in the AppStore.

Funnily 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…

Your app won't save my API key. It accepts it, shows a checkmark, then the pop up just sits there with the checkmark. If I click elsewhere besides the pop-up, it goes away, but prefs say key missing, and popping that window again doesn't show checkmark.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I haven't been able to reproduce it, but I'm investigating the issue. I wrote you an email and would really appreciate your help.

"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.

I thought this idiocy would end with the failure of DVD Regions (remember those?), a lesson would be learned and we would all move on.

But now I see this kind of crap from companies pretending to be at the forefront of technology and it has me not just frustrated, but worried.

Do people at OpenAI realize how much bad will this kind of segregation causes? Because make no mistake, this is segregation: you divide your users into "better" ones and "worse" ones.
