User Reviews

AirChat is seen as functional with useful local/nearby chat concepts and iPhone/iPad support, but it struggles with stability and messaging reliability. Users report the app won’t shut down properly due to Live Activities, and direct messages require recipients to have the app open. Privacy concerns about area chats and missing desktop Mac support are noted, along with some OS-related quirks.

Pros

Cross-device compatibility: Works on iPhone and iPad.
Local/nearby chat use-case highlighted as a feature by users.

Cons

Messaging only works if the other user has the app open / is online.
App persistence issues: cannot fully shut down; Live Activities must be disabled or the app may need to be uninstalled.
