In its first six days of availability, the app has already topped half a million downloads.
It is only surpassed by the debut of the Trump-backed Twitter clone, Truth Social, in February 2022.
The App Store has become flooded with third-party apps identifying themselves as “ChatGPT” or “AI chatbot” as customer demand for AI chatbots increased.
It might have been more difficult for an official ChatGPT app to gain popularity given the competitive environment among AI chatbots.
Bing and Microsoft Edge undoubtedly benefited from ChatGPT’s initial popularity, they saw 340,000 and 335,000 downloads on iOS and Android.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT app easily outperformed them, producing 480,000 installs in the initial five days of its United States launch.
According to the data, “Chat with Ask AI,” the sole app that outperformed it, got 590,000 installs between April 4 and 8, 2023.
