User Reviews
Used this app to talk to my friend at a music festival when cell towers were jammed. The range is disappointing but when we were able to connect chatting worked just fine. Five stars since the range issue isn’t the app’s fault
This is a very cool concept. It kinda reminds me of mIRC with a modern twist. The BT offline chat function is awesome.
The old firechat would eventually deliver a message to the recipient if they weren’t in range. This is such an important app. A true lifesaver!
Firstly, out of all bluetooth mesh messenger apps, this is the only one which is still consistently updated and supported. Secondly, not only is it a bluetooth mesh messenger, but it is also a very secure Tor messenger. There are not a ton of people online, but if you search around for a while you will find a few; in that sense, it reminds me of transmitting messages over radio or the like. The entire system requires no account or password or anything like that, is free, and is entirely secure, so long as you take a second to think about what it is you're sending! Overall, I enjoy the app, and hope it finds more users. As for mesh messaging: If ever you need to communicate with others while you have no Internet connection, this is ABSOLUTELY the only app to reasonably consider, and it works very well, even over relatively long distances; and of course, if you do have an Internet connection, you can talk to people around the world.
I use this to chat with my family when we camp in remote areas. It works very well. I do wish somehow it could run in the background for relaying and receiving messages. iOS seems to stop the app from running after a few minutes of inactivity.
This thing blows my mind. It works, and works well. This performs similar to expensive LoRa packet mesh devices, except it’s free. It handles voice, text, and photos — exchanging with the same app on other iPhones. We use it on plane trips when we have people scattered in different parts of the plane. It uses low power Bluetooth — no need for WiFi or Internet . I haven’t checked max range but probably won’t work, say, on a cruise ship.
Здравствуйте, я из России здесь мы сталкиваемся в постоянными ограничениями в работе интернета и мобильных сетей, ваше приложение очень помогает здесь, я очень вас прошу, пожалуйста продолжайте работату над приложением и пожалуйста перенесите функционал андроид версии приложения на айфон. Низкий поклон из России.
I’ve read about the app having numerous serious security issues. I see in the version history that fixes from a 3rd party security audit were implemented. Where can I find this audit and its results?
التطبيق روعه و وايد حلو وانصح تحميله بس صعب شوي
работает только блютуз канал, как дальше подключать других?
ㅠㅠ
I can’t change chat port(#mesh) if I try this the bit chat turn off
