Didn't they bring it to iOS with https://chat.openai.com ? Normalize people using the web. And FirefoxAndroid... don't refresh an idle tab unless I tell you to!

One problem I have with their website is that it constantly signs me out. It’s why I ended up downloading an app (GeePeeTee had the best privacy policy I could find) to use their service personally.

What does this add over opening chat.openai.com in Safari? It seems like I could perhaps browse conversation history offline (but I can't tell for sure), and voice dictation. I've just used it in Safari with no problems, so I want to know if any compelling reasons exist to use the app.

I'd guess it includes additional tracking enabled by an app and other undesirable aspects of an app.

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

The blatant OpenAI brand infringement in all the non-official apps is extremely frustrating. It just further weakens Apple’s arguments for their locked down store and app review process. How does anyone (outside HN perhaps) have any hope of finding the official one? And what are we (Apple users) paying our “Apple tax” for when the app store quality control processes have sunk so low?

Works really well. I'm happy to have an official app. I've never been entirely comfortable with passing my chats through a third party, I prefer to keep the number of people eavesdropping on me to a minimum.

Here's to hoping it doesn't log you out constantly like the web app.

Or use Poe, which also offers GPT-4 at the same price as a ChatGPT sub.

Poe offers a comparatively smaller quantity of GPT-4 responses in comparison to a subscription to OpenAI's ChatGPT. The limitations of Poe result in a maximum allowance of 1090 responses per month, calculated by combining 3 response per day each with an additional 1000 responses. Conversely, an OpenAI ChatGPT subscription provides approximately 2250 responses. This estimation assumes the utilization of 75 GPT-4 responses per day, divided into three separate sessions of 25 responses each. It is possible to attain additional responses by initiating inquiries beyond the nine-hour window in the prior calculation.

Poe necessitates a yearly commitment. As a consequence, if the costs of GPT-4 decrease significantly or a more advanced model becomes available, there is a potential risk of paying for Poe and not using it. Poe does offer access to Claude base model and limited access to the more advanced Claude models.

Lack of competition. If Android counts as competition then switch to Android.
