Community Voice & Feedback
I bought this app, entered my OpenAI API key, verified it but it’s not responding. It says “conversation is a required value”.
do not get if you do not have api key, most of these are junk to the average person
Anytime you input a prompt, it will be throttled. There has been no update in several months. DO NOT PURCHASE
Love the ability to use my own API key, and the native design makes me love it even more. If you plan on only using GPT-3.5 Turbo, it’s great. Otherwise GPT-4 is too unreliable and I see constant timeouts.
This app was off to a great start by saving prompts and keeping the interface clean. But now this is not enough to compete with the rest of the market. Offer a few more features like search. Or auto-continue for long ChatGPT answers. Auto-sync chats with ChatAI in other devices is also necessary. Hope the developer does something and continues to improve something he started doing well.
Why is there not a search in this app for 3 bucks!? It's such a basic feature that it almost seems plausible to assume OpenAI asked that you don't have one in it. Can we please add that? After numerous chatcs, especially lenghtier one, the solution to get GPT auto-title the chats for easier search does not help at all. Also, if we could include the last active date of the chat like Notes, and unlike the "you are just cettle to feed our monster" OpenAI online app. No seach, no time stamps, no last active dates, just get lost. Keep chatting, every exchange, "I'm here whenever you need, let me know if I can help with anything", even if you explicitly, and in great detail prompt it not to do it, it will. Being able to search maybe reduces interaction equal to that you already had, and could easily find? It's extremely annoying.
App is not working anymore
This is an outstanding native app that allows you to use your own API (which you can then set up billing for pay as you go), is privacy focused, and priced great compared to other apps out there.
As another reviewer said, keep working on updates at your own pace and don’t burn yourself out. You have a great start here and will share with others.

Just bought the app, entered my API key, tried to create a new prompt, entered title and text, clicked save, the prompt doesn’t appear anywhere. Tried it multiple times. So customizing prompts is broken. This was the reason I bought this app as this feature was advertised. So I thought, ok, let me contact the developer, and tell about the issue, maybe we can fix it. But clicking the support link takes you to their Twitter account. I don’t use Twitter. There’s a website, but no contact form, no email. No way to contact unless you Tweet them. At this point I’m considering just asking Apple to give me my money back, as there seems to be no way to proceed.
Saw your post on reddit about what you’d built and saw people complain about it not being free and initially bought the app to show appreciation for your hard work and innovation.
Great app, keep the updates coming when time permits, don’t burn yourself out or let the nit pickers that have never built an app in their life get you down.

Unsure of the root of the issue, but I am unable to get a response from OpenAI. I entered the API key after setting up billing, but nothing. For what it’s worth, GPT says to contact support but I don’t have a Twitter and didn’t see an email to contact so…
For what ChatAI is—a clean iOS-native interface to ChatGPT—the app does its job well. However, it needs better transparency about how your personal OpenAI account ties into the experience in order to be truly useful. It seems there’s a hidden actual “total cost of ownership” which is probably nominal, but led to a puzzling disablement of ChatAI’s connection to ChatGPT in my case.
After a couple weeks of using this app, my prompts within ChatAI started retuning errors that I had exceeded my quota. Digging in on OpenAI, the $18 worth of gratis tokens provided initially by OpenAI for trying the API interface that ChatAI utilizes on my behalf (of which I’d used up only a few pennies’ worth) had expired at the beginning of the month. I presume I’ll need to supply OpenAI with a credit card to continue using ChatAI. While I presume that will continue to be less than $1 per month based on my token utilization, it would have been nice for ChatAI to clue me into the issue differently.
Better connectivity into your underlying OpenAI account would be helpful too. I think casual users are likely to be confused by OpenAI’s pricing, which is, of course, on top of the price for this app. The $20/month ChatGPT Plus option doesn’t currently cover API utilization at all. API use is a separate charge, metered by natural language token counts within the prompts you submit. (Something higher than the word count.)

This app has quickly become my go-to for AI research. The pre-saved prompts are nice, but being able to create and save your own prompts is great. Also the app saves your chats locally so you can go back and continue any of them or just delete them. And the price is great. It took a minute to figure out, but once I did, I was glad I made found and purchased it!
I love this app, I’m glad I found it through a Reddit post, I use it very often, and mainly have no issues except these two problems.
GPT-4 can not handle long or semi-long prompts. It will take forever to load and then it will just say “the request timed out” and trying to regenerate it will just produce the same results. Sometimes the prompts will work and sometimes it doesn’t. it’s just a bit annoying when I try to regenerate it again and again and it keeps failing.
Secondly, I was trying to delete old conversations with the AI, and it somehow deleted the ones I was still actively using and I couldn’t find them anymore, so i was a bit annoyed by that. Possibly adding a trash folder could be helpful so you can restore a prompt if it accidentally gets deleted.
Other than that this is a well made app. I will continue to use it.

The app is a breeze without absurd month subscription. However the name is very generic. Search ChatAi in AppStore and you’re flooded with other nonsense. You should get yourself a cool name.
