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.

Feel free to clarify what the rule means. I publish multiple apps per week and have encountered this rule enough times in exactly the way I mentioned it.

For people outside the US: use a second apple account with Region set to US. I have used this many times for country specific public transport or delivery apps but same thing works here. You do not lose access to other apps, sync features or subscriptions. Go into the App Store app, not your phone settings, click your profile and scroll all the way down to log out. Then log in with a US account, download the app and…

Or just open chat.openai.com in Safari and do a “Add to Homescreen”. Before the official app, I was using cgpt on my phone like that and it worked well.

You need to login each time if you use Safari in private browsing mode.

And if you use a 56kb modem you need to connect to the internet before using the website.

Somehow, I believe you put yourself in that situation and it's not generally applicable to most people who don't use private browsing mode as the default one.

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.

Here is a thorough analysis by Alex Kleber - https://privacyis1st.medium.com/the-dark-side-of-the-mac-app... Yes, there are multiple scam apps

I read the article, basically there are multiple duplicate apps that do the same thing but with slightly different UI from the same developer. These apps implement UX that violates Apple’s design guidelines. Surprisingly, the reviews are not fake just users are often asked to review the app. I fail to see the scam portion of it? The app seems to deliver what it promised using the GPT API.

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…

Canadian here can’t use it yet. Does it have access to preinstalled iOS apps like reminder? I use them daily with Siri which I really can’t be much fond of…

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

this is my chart, from here https://twitter.com/andreyzagoruiko/status/16550461027381739...

Thanks, I was looking for the source.

Where are you getting this data from? How would any one site know the revenue numbers of multiple competing apps like that, with any degree of confidence?
