## bitchat mesh Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Slightly lagged while typing"
..
-- qutaiba.db, 2026-03-03

### **--- "App stops working after sometime"
If the app is backgrounded for a few hours it will stop working. Needs to be restarted and then it can send/recieve again
.
-- Sweet Tea 31, 2026-02-07

### **--- "Does it use cell connection ?"
iPhone Settings show cell connection is on by default do this app, not sure why. 
Also very unreliable, notifications are hit or miss and stared contacts will disappear and verified contacts will loose their verification status after a few hours.
-- wtangofoxtrot, 2026-02-06

### ****- "Bruh"
I downloaded it and no one is using it where I am
-- palidromemordilap, 2026-02-05

### *---- "DUDE WHERE'S MY CHANNELS"
Why are /j and /channels commands unavailable?? I can chat with peers in #mesh but that's it. And why is the UI so different from the Android version with different icons and options?
-- Nepping, 2026-01-29

### ***** "Low-key this is really good"
Offline messenger. Perfect. I get to talk to all my friends on the bus now.
-- Sebasdagoat97, 2026-01-29

### ***** "Local messaging"
Very cool how I can chat with friends in local proximity.  I’m looking forward to finding random people while out and about.  Supposedly this works up to about 900 feet.
-- Manikese, 2026-01-28

### ***** "Ton of fun"
I really enjoy just texting new people it’s great
-- stinker bob, 2026-01-24

### ***** "Works thank you"
App actually works
When I tested it with my friend (he has an android and I have an iPhone) and we took our sims out, the chat still worked.
Thank you, this app works between me and him even if we’re 150 feet away in school, if it’s over 200 it doesn’t work understandable cuz Bluetooth isn’t that powerful.
Still, thank you for making this, and have a good weekend.
-- Unfussyleaf2440, 2026-01-23

### ***** "Kudos"
This is a fantastic idea.  And I hope it takes off.  Simple, clean, powerful.

I’ll keep it on my phone just in case.
-- CandiedDriver, 2026-01-17

### ***** "Notifications."
Need better way to control notifications. In particular for “1 person around”. Comes up several times and it is the same person.
-- Marcogolo7, 2026-01-15

### ***-- "Hello anyone there"
I want to love this but I have had this since it first came out and I have never seen a single person. There’s no way in my big city that I’m the only one. Where is everyone 😫😫😫😫
-- nully__, 2026-01-15

### ***** "Innovative and important"
This app is great for basic communication in environments where it matters. Blackouts, connection issues, massive service outages or even government shutdowns of internet connectivity.
-- Fallen G, 2026-01-15

### *---- "Don’t bother"
Good idea, but it rarely works.  Will not recognize others even just a few feet away.  Update 9/14 - has stopped recognizing any other devices, no matter what is tried.  Deleting.  Got a developer response.  Thank you for responding.  It read as follows: “would love to understand your setup. i have not seen this behavior. "  The only problem is, I still have no way to contact them. They did not leave an email or phone number, and there is none I can find on the developer link.  I would love to help, but there is no way to do so.  Update:  1/14/26 - they keep adding functionality, but the app still does not work - at all.  Nice idea, but very poorly executed. Deleting.
-- K 007, 2026-01-14

### ***** "Modern application of the “Jerk Ratio”"
Downloaded this app a while ago and thought of Mike Judge’s Silicon Valley. With the ML advancements that have occurred in the past few years, hopefully Web-4 doesn’t suffer the same fate as Pied Piper did. Even with the encryption related concerns though, I can think of so many industries that could benefit immensely something like this (truck drivers, lifeguards, forest service officials). You should see if you could somehow break into the shipping industry and integrate this into as many trucks as possible. There is a substantial amount of trucks on the road in all areas at all hours of the day and plus, CB radio is outdated. A peer to peer network requires users, but I wonder if this issue could be circumvented through implementing this technology into freight trucks and trains (think modern CB radio… you could modernize shipping communication and get a 2 for one deal as that modernization would be a pretty solid foundation for your network). Looking forward to any more Web-4 related developments. Happy Holidays to the team!
-- Sir Kenny Powers, 2025-12-25

### **--- "Conceptually great, but didn’t work"
I downloaded this with my friend so we can use on a cruise ship, and the idea was great, but it didn’t work for us. Some messages he never got. Most of the time it didn’t work, even when we were next to one another. There was no queue in messages. So even when we go in range, most was lost. Just didn’t work for us at all. 

Visually I think could have been slightly better / easier to use. I think this was more of a coders dream and UX was not there. 

Keep up the good work though.
-- The_osc, 2025-12-24

### ***** "Wow"
I feel is gonna be samething big in future
-- MAKW.com, 2025-12-13

### ***** "Funcionando perfeitamente"
Finalmente funcionando entre IPhone e Android.
-- Lucilene63, 2025-12-02

### ***** "ВЫ ЛУЧШИЙ!!!"
СПАСИБО ЗА ВОЗМОЖНОСТЬ ОБЩАТЬСЯ!
-- ilichdjkem, 2025-12-02

### ***** "Liar"
It not working at all 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
