Features & Capabilities

The Official MeshCore Companion App is a secure off-grid mesh messaging tool that lets you build a long-range encrypted network using LoRa radios. Pair with your MeshCore device via Bluetooth, set a custom display name, and configure your LoRa radio settings to begin advertising yourself on the network and exchanging messages with nearby users.

To use the app, you must have a supported LoRa radio device flashed with the MeshCore Companion Firmware. When other devices on the same frequency are discovered, they will appear in your contacts list and you can send encrypted messages even if WiFi, cellular, or Starlink are down.

User Reviews

Overall, MeshCore is praised for easy setup, intuitive UI, and strong BLE/USB device support, making it a solid daily-driver when functioning. The main recurring issues are Bluetooth stability and reliability (frequent disconnects, requiring restarts or manual reconnects), plus missing background refresh/reconnect on launch. Some users report flaky WiFi-node behavior and accuracy gaps in battery level readings, with occasional platform-specific quirks (watch support). The app shows strong promise and design, but reliability and QoL improvements are needed for consistent performance.
Pros
  • Easy to set up and get started quickly.
  • Intuitive UI with integrated device management features.
  • Strong support for BLE and USB-connected devices.
  • Works well as a daily driver when functioning.
Cons
  • Bluetooth connectivity is unstable and frequently disconnects, often without alerts.
  • App can require restarts or manual reconnection; reliability is inconsistent.
  • Background refresh/reconnect on launch is missing or suboptimal.
  • Battery level readings can be inaccurate.

I will update my review when it’s fixed but it keeps disconnecting from the device which makes it useless. I want to be able to connect to device in my pocket and forget about it. I’m going to constantly miss messages which makes this useless as a communication device if it doesn’t relay messages to me.

Lots of defects and issues: - losing connection to companion, have to constantly restart app - different screen and UI to manage companion and reporter - blocks important functionally under wait timer, forces to pay money
