User Reviews

Users praise the idea and basic Bluetooth-based local chat that works offline and across iPhone/Android, useful in outages. However, multiple reviews flag reliability problems (crashes, flaky notifications, background mode stopping, lost verification data), concerns about security audits/encryption, uneven feature parity between iOS and Android (missing channels /j, /channels, differing UI), a small or hard-to-find user base, and Bluetooth range/connectivity limitations that hamper distance chatting. Overall, strong concept with significant stability and adoption challenges.

Pros

Local proximity/offline messaging via Bluetooth (no internet needed).
Cross‑platform chat between iPhone and Android.
Useful in outages or low‑connectivity environments (basic communication when networks fail).
Simple, clean concept with strong potential.

Cons

Reliability and stability issues (crashes, flaky notifications, background mode stops working, contacts/verification data disappearing).
Security concerns and requests for audit results (references to third‑party security audit and encryption concerns).
Platform parity and feature gaps between iOS and Android (UI differences, missing /j and /channels commands, limited channel options).
Limited user adoption / few nearby users make it hard to connect.
Bluetooth range/connectivity limitations that hamper distance‑based messaging.

It does exactly what it claims. No having to create an account, no real setup process of any kind, no ads. You just download it and you are off to the races immediately. It is insanely intuitive to the extent that I believe my grandmother could probably figure it out in less than 15 minutes. Love that it uses tor. And lastly you don’t have to just use the mesh. You can also use geohash channels if you so desire. Instant 5 stars I look forward to seeing what comes next in the future.
