For one, it’s an Apple Watch only app. The others rely on you having your iPhone nearby. This one works on its own whether you are connected to an iPhone, wifi, or cellular which is awesome when my phone is dead or I just need to detox from it. Secondly, voice input works with this app which is hard to find on the other watch AI apps. Even speaks back to you directly from the watch speaker. Just way easier to speak conversationally rather than typing on the tiny keyboard. Lastly it’s super fast and tremendously responsive. I’ve yet to see any other app come close to its performance. What I would like to see however is the ability to use the app directly from the complication. Don’t know if that is possible but it would be cool rather than opening the app completely every time I have a quick question. Other than that, it’s a little loud when I’m using it through my AirPods. Would be nice to have the option to change the preferred set volume levels. And even change the voice if it wouldn’t bog down the app too much. Either way thanks for such a dope app! ### 5/5 — Great gpt client *2025-01-16* it has everything i need. its quick and to the point. i only wish i could mute the app itself without muting the whole watch. I also wish I could export the apps notes without having to use a subscription based app. Luckily it looks like it only costs if i want to sync apple note back to the watch. export from watch to iphone is free as it should be, though I dont see why this app cant export to anything besides the mail app but I digress. hoping i can mute this app only as the chime is annoying but i cant turn off my sounds globally ### 5/5 — This is a quantum leap forward *2024-12-22* I've been using ChatGPT on my Apple Watch in one form or another from the very early days of any method to do it. I use some really good apps like Petey which is absolutely fine. I used shortcuts to create ways to use ChatGPT on my Apple Watch but this app is in a whole different league. Honestly it's astonishing. It returns results so fast that sometimes I have to check to make sure it's not just showing me the previous result. It understands exactly what I'm saying. I assume they must be using whisper in the background because I don't have any of the kind of problems I usually have with Apple dictation. I love this app. It is brilliant. If you want ChatGPT on your Apple Watch this is the app to get. ### 5/5 — Finally it's here *2024-12-20* Just amazing. Best implementation of ChatGPT on Apple Watch! And connected with their Notes app, you've got your personal-brain-LLM right on your wrist. Thank you Kofta! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Works somewhat. Obscenely priced *2025-11-28* Not paying a £4.99 a month subscription for this. It does work okay but there's no reason why this needs to be a subscription. ### 1/5 — Long time app downloader. First time reviewer. *2025-05-31* VoiceGPT: A Creepy, Wallet-Greedy Stalker App! This wretched app’s is a digital dumpster fire! Ad promised a “free” AI buddy for my Apple Watch—sweet, right? Nope! Three-day trial, then bam, $4.99 a month to keep it. I call out Iris, the app’s dimwitted AI, and she’s like, “I’m free, I’m part of the Apple Watch!” Bull, Iris, you’re a money-grubbing liar! I ask about changing her voice, and she’s all, “Go to Siri settings on your phone.” Harpy, you’re not Siri! Why the heck can’t I tweak you on the Watch? Oh, and to talk to this trainwreck, I gotta press two fingers on the Watch face like I’m summoning a demon. But get this: I wasn’t even touching the haggard thing, just checking the time, and the microphone’s ON, glowing like it’s recording my every fart and curse. This app’s a nosy, overpriced scam that eavesdrops worse than my nosy neighbor. Deleted it faster than you can say “screw this noise!” Avoid this shady garbage unless you want your wallet drained and your life spied on! **Developer response:** Hey, sorry about the bad experience! If you’re willing to give it another chance, it’s completely rewritten and it no longer has a subscription, uses your ChatGPT account and history, can talk to your ChatGPT dot, and even Remote Control your entire computer via ChatGPT. ### 1/5 — Scammy behavior *2025-02-15* I bought the app for a one-time fee, and it worked for a while. Then the developers put an expensive monthly subscription and locked all the features without grandfathering in my original purchase. Scammy. Request a refund people. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2025-02-10* Paid for the app, it worked 2 weeks, then then made it monthly!! Just not worth it. ChatGPT free on phone. So pathetic.. **Developer response:** Hey, sorry about that, was experimenting with the business model! If you’re willing to give it another chance, it’s completely rewritten and it no longer has a subscription, uses your ChatGPT account and history, can talk to your ChatGPT dot, and even Remote Control your entire computer via ChatGPT. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-02-06* I purchased this app for a flat fee with no advertised in-app purchases and now it is asking me to pay a monthly subscription fee. Where is the functionality that I have paid for? ### 1/5 — Bait and switch? *2025-02-03* I paid for the app and now its a subscription afterward? **Developer response:** Hey, sorry about that, was experimenting with the business model! If you’re willing to give it another chance, it’s completely rewritten and it no longer has a subscription, uses your ChatGPT account and history, can talk to your ChatGPT dot, and even Remote Control your entire computer via ChatGPT. ### 3/5 — No form of contact *2025-03-17* I like this app, it does what I want it to do, for the most part. What it does do which I don’t want it to do, is drain my watch battery in the background if I do not force close after each use and prevents me invoking Siri using voice commands. Could you please fix this as I am paying the subscription. It appears there is no easy way to make contact with you, you seem to lack an online presence, unless I’m missing something. Thanks. ### 3/5 — Battery Drain *2025-01-16* Great app and thankful that I have it given its utility, though it uses too much battery in the background. Needs fixing ### 4/5 — Easy delegation from my wrist *2026-10-12* Iris makes it incredibly easy to delegate tasks and stay productive on the go. Having it right on my Apple Watch means I can quickly talk through what I need, hand off work, and keep moving without pulling out my phone. It fits naturally into a busy day and helps me get more done in those moments between everything else. A really useful app for anyone who wants to turn a quick conversation into productive work. ### 5/5 — Great dev and great app! *2026-10-22* Highly attentive and excellent support. This developer has provided excellent support along the way, especially for my legacy devices. Such a great product and an excellent add-on for ChatGPT! Highly recommended! 5 stars for sure!! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excelente App! *2026-10-20* Great app! Works flawlessly with my chatgpt account and my Dot. The syncing is fast as works even when the watch is not connected directly to the WiFi. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-10-19* This app has truly changed my relationship with AI tools. It works perfectly, and with it, I have access to my chatGPT agent and can work from anywhere without having to use my computer or phone. It's excellent for working in the gym, give it a try, this app is amazing ### 5/5 — Best app! *2026-10-19* The best app as an addition for AI geeks! Allows you to get a response from the neural network 24/7 or continue working. ### 5/5 — Insanely useful! *2026-10-15* From chatting with your Dot, to sending off cloud project tasks, to controlling your Mac remotely, this app is actually insane. And having it all right on your wrist. 🔥 ### 5/5 — The only one you need *2026-10-15* If you have an Apple Watch with SIM and AirPods this app is all you need to take your codex workflow on the go. With the latest dots support I never take my phone out to check on my tasks. The developer is extremely humble and open to feedback. I highly highly recommend this app! ### 5/5 — My preferred way to talk to Codex *2026-10-12* This is genuinely so much more intuitive and quick than anything OpenAI has put out in regards to features like this. ### 5/5 — Works Brilliantly! *2026-10-12* App works a treat, sign-in is quick and easy with your existing ChatGPT account/subscription. 10/10 would recommend to anyone that wants access to their Dot on their wrist! I tend to use mine whilst in the car as getting a Dot call going in a Tesla involves unlocking the phone, opening the app, clicking the little Dot icon and then calling it, which is a pain whilst driving! Now I just click the Action button on my watch and we’re on a call. The dev is extremely responsive and quick to help if you need it! ### 5/5 — A Remarkable AI Companion for Apple Watch *2026-10-12* I’m thoroughly enjoying Iris on my Apple Watch. It gives me convenient voice access to both ChatGPT and Codex, including my custom connectors for personal health, fitness tracking, and Home Assistant smart home management. Being able to interact with these powerful AI tools directly from my wrist is incredibly useful and offers a glimpse of where personal AI assistants are heading. An impressive app with enormous potential. I’m looking forward to seeing how it continues to evolve and improve. Congratulations to the developer! ### 5/5 — Apple WatchでAIが使える *2026-10-12* Apple Watchでdotが使いたくてためしました。 普通の音声アシスタントで話すだけでも便利ですが、dotに話しかけることでパソコンのあらゆる操作ができるのでとても便秘になりました。 ただ、dotに電話しても出ないことがあるのでそれが直ればApple Watchだけで指示出しが完了しそうです。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
