Love the idea, great app – FireChat Review

This is awesome. Using it on our cruise. We have international data plan, but on the ship this works great to keep in touch with everyone in our party. I have not experienced any of the stability issues others have complained about. Unfortunately, it has not worked offline for quite some time now. The idea of a bluetooth mesh or bluetooth peer-to-peer based messaging app has died now that it requires internet access. It appears as though it may ping me when others users are near, but my last at sea trip, it failed to send a single message to the person not more than 10ft away also with firechat. I fear developer has abandoned this app.
