Did not meet expectations – FireChat Review

I tried using this app at the Oregon Total Eclipse August 2017 involving approx 30K people. The event had no cellular or wifi access. Fireside chat was a highly talked about app prior to the event but it did not work at the event. It worked prior to the event, where there was cell phone and wifi access. The same people I was chatting with before the event did not receive any of my messages at the event and vise versa. I overheard a number of people talking about it not working for them as well, unless someone was sitting next to them at their own camp. Overall, the consensus at the Oregon Eclipse was thumbs down.
