Beeper

This app is everything I was hoping for and not when I discovered Beeper’s production/waitlisted a few years back. I hate the messenger app and not a big fan of WhatsApp. This is was the alternative. The fact that it can do iMessages as well puts it above the competition by miles. There is so mouth more like discord, slack, telegram etc. The interface is nice and simple. It blends in with the native iOS apps easily. The fact that I can install this on my windows laptop is a an amazing bonus. Makes chatting to people while at work super fast. Don’t need to get the mobile out. Is it perfect ? No, but it’s getting there and not far from it. I am so glad that it is free as the original plan was to have a $10 subscription. I have shared with my LinkedIn network as well, that’s how much I want everyone to try it.

This is an amazing app that’s very well designed. However, it does’t incorporate WeChat nor Skype, probably for proprietary issues. If it did, I’d give it five stars.

Just because you got beaten by the big bad wolf doesn’t mean those of us who still use apple products should suffer and yet the iOS app still lags significantly behind other platforms when it comes to features. The fact that I can search contact and chat names but not within the chat itself is ridiculous.

I really like the app so far but I’m deleting! Why? I’ll download back when this features are implemented! I want to the app to give user a choice to use multiple WhatsApp account, telegram account, or whatever app I wanna use. I need to be able to login my several account all in BEEPER, So give users the option of adding multiple accounts of their choice. Better theme choice !! It’s so basic so far.

if you’re trying to use social media less but still want to keep in touch with people in your DMs this is perfect. Yeah it’s bare-bones but that’s kinda the point… it could be a little faster and more optimized, but i’m sure it’s gonna get better over time.

So far this app has been pretty functional. A few fixes would make this app perfect. First is when you view a video in landscape it doesn’t show the video full screen. It still shows the chat list. Second is the really bad icon on iOS. It really makes my Home Screen look ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb.

I’ve been wanting to disconnect from social media for a long time but struggled to do so since I have so many group chats that are solely on Instagram or Facebook Messenger. Beeper has allowed me to delete the apps while still participating in group chats with the ability to watch videos and see shared images directly in the chats so I don’t get sucked down social media rabbit holes, wasting hours of my day.

The network connections options is not available or it’s missing on iOS app. How do I add more network connections?

Why do you need a computer? I don't own one and you can't just use your friends or parents. Then if you don't have a Mac it won't work anyway because you can't connect your messages. If the app didn't require a computer it would be great, but I was looking forward to using it. Also, it doesn't say that anywhere.

I loved the idea of Beeper, you know, bring all your messaging to one app. However, the implementation is not what I imagined. First off, it requires the desktop app which isn’t the end of the world on its own but not being able to sync iMessage unless you have a Mac kind of is. On top of that issue, Facebook messenger and WhatsApp constantly disconnect and require fiddling to get them to work again. Maybe one day this will work better or Apple and Google will have their own implementations that don’t require so much work to keep them running. Until then, I’m uninstalling.
