Berkanan Messenger

This is what I was looking for. An app that I can message people I’m with when we have no WiFi or cell signal. I’d like to see low quality photos sending as a future feature. I would be great not to have the giant picture of the person your messaging with if they use a picture. The top down messaging is a little weird being use to iPhone messaging going bottom up but that’s fine.

I have an admission: I hate talking on the airplane. It’s loud, everyone can hear my wife and I talking, and I get motion sick from constantly turning my head. Maybe these are first world problems, but Berkanan solves it with this awesome app. Now my wife and I can chat about trip details without a bunch of strangers listening, and we don’t have to pay for wifi to do so. It makes calls too. It works flawlessly. There’s a learning curve since the new messages appear at the top rather than the bottom, but otherwise I love this app!

I can’t get this app to work.

This app does exactly what I hoped! My only wish is that it’d put most recent messages on the bottom, like the text app. If I could set it up to format like the text app, with most recent message at the bottom, I’d give it a full 5 stars. No reason to have it reversed, in my opinion 🤷🏼‍♂️

Does this app work on airplanes?

This is the absolute perfect app for bluetooth messaging!! I would definitely recommend this to basically anyone! This will come in handy for times without a stable connection. One suggestion though, add groups. Someone in the group can invite another person, other people can't see it at all. Would be super useful. Thanks!

Finally, a good Bluetooth chatting app.

Great little program. Phone receiver icon does not place call when I click on it. Do phone calls only work ‘to’ premium subscribers??? If not, I’m overlooking a setting.

Yes this a great app and perfect for when you have no coverage. However I cannot get the phone call option to work. When I select another user and click the phone call icon it rings once and hangs up before the person has a chance to answer it. Also even though I have all notifications turned on it only seems to badge the app for a new message instead of displaying as a persistent notification on the screen like iMessage would. I have persistent notifications turned on for Berkanan. Otherwise 5 star.

I am using iPhone XS Max and the call button is grey so I can’t click on it. But i can call my phone from my ipad.
