Official app check: which Gamma app is real?
✅ The official iOS app is Gamma: AI Slides & Design by Gamma Tech, Inc. (4.76/5 from 1,119 ratings). View on the App Store ↗. Before installing, always check that the developer name matches.

- “GammaTime: Premium Shorts” — developer: Gammagrl, LLC

A different developer doesn't automatically mean an app is malicious — but it is not the official Gamma app, and copycat apps are a common way people get charged for something they didn't intend to buy. Checked 2026-11-01 via the public App Store catalog.
