ChatGPT tops download rankings in apps in April 2025. Do users in Austria have to rely on AI apps?
ChatGPT breaks the record: The No. 1 app download in Austria!
In April 2025, the ChatGPT app, developed by OpenAI, topped the global download rankings on the Google Play Store, reaching an impressive 38 million downloads. This means it has overtaken other major apps such as Instagram and TikTok, signaling a significant trend towards the use of artificial intelligence in app development. Users increasingly prefer intelligent applications for text creation, information search and professional support, as vol.at reports.
The popularity of ChatGPT is not limited to the US. In Austria, the app even has priority over the Chinese shopping app Temu, which dominates in Western Europe. However, the focus of use varies greatly between countries; While some regions prefer shopping apps, others show a clear bias towards AI tools.
Availability and ease of use
The ChatGPT app is now also available for Android users, as reported by androidcentral.com. Available to download in the US, India, Bangladesh and Brazil, this version provides access to tailored advice, creative inspiration and professional help. The app synchronizes chat history across different devices and is free.
With the latest model improvements, probably the GPT-4 language model, the offer is also aimed at professional users who need quick and precise information gathering. OpenAI also plans to expand the app to additional countries in the coming weeks, after making it available to iOS users in May 2025.
The context of artificial intelligence
The rise in ChatGPT usage reflects a broader development in artificial intelligence that is increasingly impacting daily life and various industries. Artificial intelligence involves the replication and automation of intelligent behavior, and its applications range from voice assistants to industrial robots to autonomous vehicles, as statista.com notes.
The forecasts for the coming years indicate an exponential increase in technological developments in this area. For example, in 2023 the robot density in South Korea was recorded as 1,012 robots per 10,000 employees in the manufacturing sector. These developments show how closely AI and automation are intertwined and how they will shape our future.
In summary, ChatGPT's dominance in the app ranking, supported by the widespread adoption of the Android version and the increasing importance of artificial intelligence, shows how quickly this market is developing and what role it will play in the digital transformation of the next few years.
