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.

Recent reviews

The app works well for text messages, but I found an issue with media transfer between Android and iPhone. Text messages are delivered normally, but when I send photos or voice messages from Android to iPhone, nothing appears on the iPhone side. I tested on the latest version of the app, and even though the media appears to be sent, it never shows up on the receiving device. Photos and voice messages from iPhone to Android seem to work, but Android to iPhone does not. Please investigate cross-platform media transfer compatibility. Thank you ❤️

Why would I care that there is a bit chatter nearby? Why can’t I disable it, but still get notifications for actual chats? This app is made by children…
