So this is why they changed the model dropdown to buttons, more touch friendly.

I don’t recall ever hearing Apple PR calling iOS a “walled garden”. Outside of tech I doubt most people would understand what that means. The operative word is “curated”.

So well curated, it seems.

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.

If all it does is avoid making me re-authenticate several times a week that alone is worth the install for me.

Better ui experience: snapper, could use many UI/background features from the sdk that isn’t available from the web app.

My experience:

- literally impossible to find on the App store, even when searched for by its exact name caps and all; only able to get it by navigating from OpenAI page

- weekend-project level UX

- no access to my Beta plugins or browsing

My conclusion:

This is a placeholder, not a product.

"This app requires iOS 16.1 or later".

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.

Wish this was available in Canada. Super pumped to have easier mobile access than the website.

Couldn't find it searching the App Store, had to go onto safari, go to OpenAi's website and then click the link which re-directed me to the App Store

That’s typical for most new apps. It takes apple a day or two to index everything.

I wonder if they’ll release an iPad app too, I’d appreciate that.
