Well, the very first time I opened the app, what made me thrilled is the haptics of the app. It employs vibration whenever the chatbot talks/responds to you. That is every time it types something.

3. In case you’re wondering, it has the same limitations as the ChatGPT web version. It can’t or tries to answer anything outside its scope. So, don’t expect (at least for now) it to give you real-time web results or answers. I didn’t try but don’t expect it to answer your NSFW or nefarious queries. There may be exceptions of course.

You can buy ChatGPT Plus version and gain more premium features.
