User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's simplicity, offline LAN chat capability, and security with encrypted messages. The availability of a desktop version is also praised. However, multiple reviews mention connectivity problems especially after disconnection, lack of useful desktop notifications, file transfer issues between devices, crashes after receiving files, and limited advanced features compared to competitors. Overall, the app works well for basic offline messaging but needs improvements in stability and functionality.

Cons

Connectivity issues when devices disconnect and try to reconnect offline
Desktop app lacks notifications for incoming messages
File sending problems between certain devices or platforms
Limited functionality compared to other LAN chat apps (e.g., no voice/video calls, no folder sharing)
App can crash after receiving files, reducing reliability

It's a simple and effective app and i like that it has a desktop app too, no clutter, but it could use some small upgrade by becoming a fully realised wifi social media app with voice and video calling and all the little stuff, more like a wifi based Telegram.
