When talking about the best AI chatbots on the market, we typically mention ChatGPT and
The Claude app is now available for Android users!
Why should Gemini and ChatGPT users have all the fun? If you choose to use Claude, then using the app will be much more convenient. It’s available to download today from the Google Play Store. It’s free to download, and you can use it with any Anthropic plan, even if you’re a free user.
When you get the app, all you have to do is sign into your account. If you’re making a new account then and there, then you’ll need a valid phone number to sign up. Once you make your account, you’ll give Claude your name and agree to all of the terms of service.
Using the Claude app
Once you’re in, you’ll see a very familiar sight. The Claude app has a layout similar to the ChatGPT and Gemini apps. At the very bottom of the screen, you’ll see the text field. The text field will show you which specific model you’re using. Free users will be using Claude 3.5 Sonnet by default. Above that, you’ll see a message letting you know that your free plan is limited.
Up top, above the “Welcome” message, you’ll see the profile button. It will be the circle with the first letter of your name. Tapping on that will bring you to the Settings. Here, you’ll be able to upgrade your plan, view your email address, and change your name. That’s pretty straightforward.
Back to the home screen, the majority of the screen is empty space. As you have conversations with Claude, you’ll see this empty space fill up with a feed of your conversations. The app will generate a title for them that’s straightforward and related to the conversation.
If you don’t like what Claude called one of the conversations, or if you just want to make your own title, you can simply tap and hold on a conversation. You’ll see a little dropdown menu show up with the option to rename it or delete it.
What you can do with Claude
Using the Claude app is just like using the website. It’s hard to list exactly what you can ask Claude, as it’s designed to be an “Everything chatbot” just like ChatGPT and Gemini. You can ask it to summarize content, retrieve information for you, create written content, etc. You can use it for just about anything.
Another great feature of the app is the real-time translation. If you need to talk to a person who speaks another language you can use the app as an interpreter.
Different inputs
As you can tell, Claude takes text as an input, but that’s not all. Claude is multi-modal, which means that it can accept other forms of input like images and documents.
