The 10 Best ChatGPT Apps For Android
ChatGPT has officially taken the world by storm.
Rolled out in March 2023, the latest iteration of ChatGPT, GPT-4 is OpenAI's "latest milestone ... in scaling up deep learning." The tool has become more competent at producing a higher standard of generative output, although it still cannot truly rival human capability. This has led users to look for ways to incorporate the AI system into daily life. Developers have been working to incorporate ChatGPT into their work, producing a laundry list of excellent ChatGPT-driven AI tools. DuckDuckGo announced in early March that it was releasing an AI search feature built with the OpenAI toolbox, and Microsoft's Bing is leveraging an OpenAI language model that's even more potent than ChatGPT.
While web search tools are important, Android phone applications are also rolling hot out, infused with the generative AI of ChatGPT. This makes use of the toolbox something that can be achieved while on the go and not just in front of a computer. These are some that stand out above the pack.
Alissu
Alissu is a ChatGPT-powered AI application for the Android platform. The tool runs on the ChatGPT-3.5 model from OpenAI. As with a standard AI system in the contemporary environment, Alissu can summarize texts, answer questions, and correct grammatical mistakes in a given piece of writing.
Alissu adds a few exciting features to its repertoire. The AI app can perform translations, specifically from English to French, Spanish, and Japanese, adding a new twist to the typical Android app that users might play around with. This makes it a great tool for traveling. In addition, the tool can make sense of unstructured data and generate tabulated outputs from long text blocks. With the desired structure specified, users are able to make use of a variety of data formats that make understanding information far easier.
Similarly, the Alissu app is able to translate SQL queries and Python code into natural language for those working with code or learning to leverage it in their education or work environment. Alissu has been downloaded more than 100,000 times and enjoys a 3.7 star rating from over 2,000 reviews.
ChatSonic
ChatSonic is consistently ranked highly by reviewers. The tool claims to include GPT-4 capabilities and frames itself as a ChatGPT alternative that shores up limitations that have arisen within ChatGPT's own platform. Primarily, ChatGPT is not connected to updated internet resources, so it can't provide accurate generative text responses to queries pertaining to events or timelines occurring after 2021 (the latest data used in training the AI).
ChatSonic has been trained and powered through the use of Google Search, giving it the ability to respond to real-time trending topics and up-to-date occurrences without hesitation, delay, or hallucinations, an issue that's crept into the AI space. The AI app has been downloaded over 100,000 times by Android users and has a 3.9-star average rating across more than 4,000 reviews.
ChatSonic can also deliver digital art and stylized painting outputs as well as respond to voice commands rather than simply utilizing text-based queries. This makes the tool a versatile addition to any Android user's device that can rival both a desktop ChatGPT session and a voice assistant capability like Siri, Alexa, and others. The platform offers a free trial, but long-form and custom plans that make the most of ChatSonic require an active subscription.
Aico
Another ChatGPT-powered AI tool is Aico. Powered by GPT-3.5, Aico is not connected to the internet, which may lead to inaccuracies surrounding time-sensitive queries but makes for a mobile AI platform that can be utilized anywhere your phone can travel. The system stores the last 1,000 words within the current conversation, making it a robust option for mobile back-and-forth interactions while on the go.
The developers note that Aico can revise generated text responses to more closely match a user's preferences. For instance, if you're looking to tailor content outputs to a certain audience, you can ask the AI to rephrase its response in a new way, such as "make it funnier." Aico is also capable of examining and improving grammar and spelling, translating and summarizing input texts, and even providing suggestions for completing queries to hone your input methodology or end writing tasks.
Aico has been downloaded over a million times by users, and the app's nearly 18,000 reviews give it an average score of 4.6 stars. High praise for any tool and a standard that signals Aico's quality in the lives of its users.
ChatOn
ChatOn is another AI app for Android that has over a million downloads. The tool is powered by ChatGPT — specifically, its most up-to-date GPT-4 model. The app's about page notes that it offers spelling and grammar-checking capabilities, as well as summarization skills that can make dense texts easier to understand. This makes it a great tool for those engaged in lengthy study sessions. Additionally, users can input text and ask the ChatOn AI system to optimize the structure of the writing to improve clarity and flow.
For business and social media users, ChatOn offers authenticity-boosting capabilities that help hone posts or pitch ideas for the greatest possible impact on your target audience (whether a room full of potential buyers or a digital audience checking out your work online). Added features on the ChatOn platform include coding assistance and math problem-solving tools, cover letter writing, speechwriting, and email crafting functionalities.
Basic functionality comes standard with your download of the ChatOn app. From there, users are able to test drive the premium features and purchase an upgraded subscription to gain regular access to the entire suite of features.
Apo AI Chat Open Assistant Chatbot
The Apo AI Chat Open Assistant Chatbot is the most widely downloaded app from the Google Play Store on this list. It's been reviewed by over 142,000 users (with a 4.4-star average) and downloaded over five million times.
As with other AI apps, Apo Assistant offers a free version and a paid subscription that unlocks quota-less use of the platform. Apo Assistant is built on GPT-4, offering the latest in AI tools as a result. Users can write and debug JavaScript code, extract data from text inputs and generate tables and other types of output stylizations that make analysis easier. It can also summarize content. The tool provides clear and concise answers to a wide range of query terms and can streamline virtually any creative or productive task a user might be facing.
The developer notes that Apo Assistant can solve math equations, conduct translation services, and even grade essays or write musical compositions. This makes it a versatile addition to your mobile device. The sheer volume of users to back up the AI tool's functionality makes this AI app one that you might not want to pass up.
Cleverr
Cleverr is a GPT-3 and GPT-4 powered AI Assistant app that, according to user reviews, has vastly improved following a recent update. The app is capable of recognizing and responding to multiple languages, including English, Russian, Mandarin, Spanish, Italian, and Arabic.
The app is capable of performing many of the functions ChatGPT can natively do, including generating emails, letters, and recipes. It can also summarize bodies of text in simple terms, which is handy if you need help to understand an impenetrable piece of writing. On the downside, the free version is pretty limited — it uses a less powerful model and only allows users 10 requests per month. Watching an ad, when available, can net you an extra three messages. If you want access to GPT4 and 500 requests, it'll cost you $15.99 per month. This is still cheaper than ChatGPT Plus and allows more messages over a short period of time.
The designers also claim that Cleverr can also act as a friend should you need advice or some kind of entity to talk to. This is sort of true, but the responses you'll get are the same kind of robotic, soulless answers you'll get from ChatGPT when it isn't playing a character. So we wouldn't advise using it in place of a dedicated social AI or — ideally — another human being. It also keeps a history of your chats, allowing you to pick up an older conversation at any time.
Genie
Genie offers a lot of functionality, even if you go with the free version of the app. You can do things like upload images and get the bot to explain them, break down web pages, translate text, and generate messages for social media. While you can do most of this with basic ChatGPT, Genie's layout makes the whole process easier and contains a list of suggested prompts you can modify to meet your needs.
The basic version of Genie uses GPT-3.5 and limits users to 10 messages, which it calls wishes, per day. While this can be quite limiting, it does include full access to all of the functions. So you can use the app to summarize a long and complex PDF, even if you aren't paying for it. There is also the option to request a feature, which sounds handy. Unfortunately, clicking the request a feature tab in the settings menu simply redirects you to the app's Google Store page. Presumably, you're supposed to leave said feature requests in the review column.
As with other apps, Genie will keep track of your chats in its history section. Chat transcripts can also be shared via email, messaging, or over social media so you can assist friends and family with the app too. Genie also offers a pro model for $7.99 per week or $44.99 per year. Pro offers access to a GPT-4-based model, a higher word limit, and unlimited messaging.
Frank
Frank is built around OpenAI's ChatGPT API and, as a result, is a pretty powerful tool. You can use it to create images, search the web, and scan large bodies of text for specific information. Voice recognition is also available, so you don't even have to type your requests.
Frank packs a lot in, but that comes with a downside. The app itself can be quite laggy at times, even if you're using a fairly powerful phone like the Samsung Galaxy S22 we tested it on. Still, this is one of the most complete AI assistant apps currently available, and you should definitely give it a look if you need an effective all-rounder.
The free version of Frank may do things well, but it does have its limitations. Unfortunately, the app's premium options are some of the most expensive around. An unlimited yearly subscription will set you back $179.99, and that same subscription is $19.99 per month if you want the rolling version of it. The basic version of the app costs $9.99 per month, but that only gets you 15 requests per day.
NovaAI
You can interact with Nova as you would regular ChatGPT, and it will perform just fine. The app also has a selection of pre-written prompts to get you started and can communicate with you in over 140 languages. In fact, we'd say Nova is a solid choice as far as straight swaps for ChatGPT go — at least until OpenAI gets around to releasing an official app for Android, anyway.
However, where Nova really stands out is through its compatibility with Google Assistant and a good chunk of your smart device collection, assuming you're someone who has a smart device collection. Nova works with WearOS and thus works with a wide array of smartwatches. You can also select an option in the app which allows you to ask Google to Ask Nova, which is handy when you need a recipe and your hands are caked in flour.
Like many of these apps, you need to pay for unlimited access, GPT-4, and a higher word limit. Nova's weekly subscription is quite pricy, nailing you for $4.99 every seven days. The yearly plan comes with a steep discount, though, and currently sits at $49.99 per annum. The free version is very limited — you can only send three prompts per day.
Now AI
Now AI boasts over 9 million users and carries a 4.5-star rating on Google's Play Store. It can generate images, perform standard LLM AI tasks like providing recipes, and talk to you as one of several pre-set characters. Those characters include Albert Einstein, Bill "Gate," and Billie Eilish. As with other AI programs, the character is just a veneer, which dissolves the second you really delve into a conversation. The image generation is pretty off, too, unfortunately.
The app is quite ad-heavy and will lob some sort of video-based sales pitch at you any time it gets the chance. You get eight free messages per day, though you can get more by watching even more ads. As annoying as this can be, it is one of the few apps to give you access to a GPT-4-based model without charging you a fee, even if that access is quite limited.
If you want unlimited access, you have a few pricing options. It's either $6.99 per week, $9.99 per month, or $44.99 per year. The premium service removes the billion or so annoying ads the app throws at you every session, allows unlimited messaging, and gives you early access to upcoming features.
