AI Chatbot: conflicting prices and a privacy mismatch.

The screenshots tell the story.

Original promotional images extracted from the supplied PDF. The featured images show the model claims and the writing tool; expand the gallery for all six images. The purchase prices are transcribed in the comparison table below, with their original capture preserved in dossier page 9.

The price discrepancy is visible before checkout.

The strongest finding is within the US listing itself: two sections give different prices for what they describe as monthly and lifetime plans. The lifetime purchase table amount is approximately double the amount advertised in the description. No discount condition, different entitlement or explanation is shown beside those competing amounts.

The description says users receive three free attempts and may then start a three-day trial or buy premium access. Its plan list specifically attaches the trial to the monthly offer. It says renewal continues unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period and directs users to Apple Account Settings. These are the developer’s statements, not a tested paywall or a verified charge.

A generic collection policy behind a no-collection label.

The policy repeatedly uses APP as its product name and covers several platforms. It discusses accounts, PayPal, advertising and syncing content to servers, without clearly identifying which practices apply to this Mac app or how its claimed OpenAI integration handles prompts.

Its mobile subsection permits analytics retention for up to 24 months. This does not prove that the Mac app retains data for that period. It shows why a specific app/version explanation is needed.

Apple’s label rules distinguish local processing and transient requests from retained off-device data, with conditional exceptions for support requests. A generic policy is not proof of actual collection, but it also does not give buyers a clear explanation of the no-collection label.

Germany uses a localized name. Both EU pages say non-trader.

The German listing is named KI Chatbot: Deutsch Chat 5.6 and uses the subtitle Built on GPT 5.6 & GPT 6 Astra. Its numeric app ID is the same 6783956263. This is a regional metadata difference, not evidence of a separate application or a dated rename.

Both Germany and Ireland say Mohammad Shaheer has not identified as a trader for this app. The inspected panels do not provide a business address or country. No nationality or location is inferred from the developer’s name. Apple’s displayed notice is recorded here without independently determining the provider’s legal status.

Germany’s translated description still quotes US-dollar plan amounts, including the lower monthly and lifetime figures. The visible euro purchase table matches Ireland: €6.99 weekly, €17.99 monthly, €34.99 yearly and €99.99 lifetime. Currency localization alone is not wrongdoing; the untranslated price references add confusion to the already documented US mismatch.

The reviewed pages show version 1.8, dated 1 October 2026, an 18+ content rating and a macOS 13.0 minimum. They do not display enough ratings or reviews for an overview.

Humoty remains in the purchase labels and bundle identifier.

The seller and developer account are Mohammad Shaheer, ID 6783956265. The live developer catalog shows this one app. The bundle identifier is com.humoty.writer.app, and all four purchase labels retain Humoty. These are verified internal naming links, but do not by themselves establish when the app was renamed or how its design changed.

No Developer Website link is recorded in the supplied analysis. The listing links a Google Sites privacy page; its description supplies terms and an EULA on the same mohammad-shaheer site. The site’s navigation also provides Customer Support. Hosting on Google Sites identifies the platform; the developer’s actual hosting expenditure is unknown.

The support page embeds a Google Form with name, email and message fields. In this review the embedded form displayed a sign-in requirement. It was inspected without signing in or submitting anything. The policy also supplies a direct support email, which is omitted from this article.

No verified link to the previously investigated sellers.

The public support address and Google Form identifier were compared with the earlier records for Muhammad Azan, Waseem Abbass, Muhammad Husnain, zain saeed ahmad, Anam Shehzadi, Zain Anwar and Talha Faisal. Neither matches the contacts or support forms found in those cases. Exact searches for the support address and bundle identifier did not establish a shared business or operator.

Common features such as Google Sites, Gmail, AI-provider names and paid plans are not distinctive identity links. The support form differs from Talha Faisal’s shared three-site form and from Azan’s form. The inspected evidence supports recurring disclosure concerns, not a demonstrated common owner.

Model names, a familiar visual motif and an independent seller.

The original icon uses rounded overlapping black loops and a central AI label on white. The official ChatGPT reference uses a different interwoven knot. The resemblance deserves scrutiny alongside the GPT-heavy subtitle, but the source does not establish that the icon is identical or that branding permission was granted.

The promotional image headed AI Chatbot advertises GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.6, while the US subtitle names GPT 5, GPT 5.6 and GPT 6. Germany adds GPT 6 Astra. These are different advertised model lists. OpenAI’s current official documentation includes GPT model families and API access; the names are not dismissed as fictitious. Documentation cannot confirm this developer’s actual backend, model selection or authorization.

The listing’s independence disclaimer is relevant and is preserved in this report. Claimed use of a connection to OpenAI’s AI service does not make the app an official ChatGPT product. Our warning concerns the combined presentation and documented disclosure problems, not an assertion that independent API clients cannot exist.

The documented issues Apple should review.

Accurate metadata rules 2.3 and 2.3.1 are directly relevant to the competing monthly and lifetime prices. Rule 3.1.2(c) concerns clear subscription information. Privacy rules 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 warrant checking the generic policy against the app’s actual collection and disclosure.

Copycat and intellectual-property provisions 4.1 and 5.2.1 are relevant to any confusing visual presentation and branding permissions. The current pages do not establish an Apple enforcement decision, a legal infringement ruling or a confirmed fraudulent payment. The supplied text asks Apple to review the case; it is an allegation, not an enforcement result.

The records behind this report.

The full original 14-page analysis is available as a metadata-cleaned PDF. Its privacy appendix intentionally contains only the first three pages of the captured policy; the full live policy was separately read for this article. Document metadata was removed, with page order, searchable text and rendered pixels preserved. Visible source contact information remains, including a support email. The supplied text complaint’s PDF checksum matches the independently calculated original checksum. Individual raw-file hashes printed in the dossier are not independently verified because the associated evidence ZIP was not supplied. The Irish Wayback replay loaded; the supplied policy replay timed out on two attempts. Broader US/DE/IE, site and legacy archive queries timed out or returned a server error. No dated older visual comparison or review-evasion sequence is claimed. Private research captures and contact notes are not packaged.
