Best bluetooth chat app so far on iOS

I really love it. It got native iOS-theme UI, fast and snappy device detection, simple messaging with *bluetooth calling*. I was really looking for this kind of app on iOS! Thanks for providing awesome app.

Amazing!!

Works amazingly! This app should be baked into all phones by default!! My wife and son have it on their phone too.

Awesome!

I used to use FireChat until they updated and this is worlds better. I work in a place with no signal so this helps my team talk to each other. Brilliant and easy to use

Hi, Brad! Thank you for the glowing review! Please get in touch with us if you have ideas or suggestions on how we could make Berkanan better for you. Edit: You can always email us at support@berkanan.chat

What an amazing idea

This is honestly one of the best ideas I've seen. Especially in cases of emergencies. Every phone should have this feature and I hope more fine out about this AMAZING app. My family got it and we tested it and it's worked great! I also love it is not centralized and encrypted so it's very private! For now, I bought the profile editor to support the developer!

Hi! I'm the creator of the app and your amazing review got me super excited. Thank you! Berkanan works better the more people use it. Show it to your friends.

Great idea! A few suggestions.

-Keyboard apps compatibility
-A minor problem: When phone was off and Bluetooth is still on the app said I was offline

Hi! Thank you for the review and feedback! - Which keyboard app exactly? What did not work? - Can you provide more details about your minor problem?

Great App Good Feedback from Developer

What an awesome idea and beautifully designed app. My previous review left me a little confused with ongoing notifications but the developer responded quickly. I’ll definitely be using this app a lot with family members. Hopefully the software can be updated to enhance notifications so that once a private conversation has started you can receive ongoing notifications while blocking private messages after the first message.

Edit: Fast response from developer. The issue was corrected by enabling the correct settings per feedback. I don’t really need the premium features, but love the quick feedback and apso I chip in for it.

Hi! Thank you for your kind words! If you set App Settings > Notifications > Private Messages > On for Messaged Users then you will be notified only of private messages from your trusted contacts (users whom you already have a conversation with), and will not be bothered by strangers. Edit: Thank you! Don't hesitate to contact us in the future with your ideas and thoughts!

Love it!! But could use some features

This messenger is amazing for people who work on cruise ships

I would love some features though:

A group chat, so even if they’re not in range, once they are they get the message!!! A group chat is so handy.

And a way to favorite someone. So they either come up at the top of the screen when they’re in range, or they have a star on them so you can find the people you talk to the most easily.

Thank you!!!!

Also: I’ve purchased the app.... but it still won’t let me edit my profile. It just keeps making me buy it over and over again, says I already have it downloaded, and then still won’t let me edit my profile.

Hi Ariana! Thank you for your review and thoughtful feedback. Let me address some of your issues. Auto retry for sending messages when users are in range is a great feature suggestion! We will definitely consider it for an upcoming update. Regarding favoriting users: Just start chatting with someone privately and they get auto favorited, in the sense of they will be always visible in Nearby, even if they are not in range. Regarding failing purchasing Profile Editing feature: Just go to App Settings by tapping the top right button in Nearby, then scroll down and select Restore Purchases, and wait a few secs for Done to appear. Then go back to your profile and Edit should work. If it prompts you again to purchase then it means you didn't successfully purchase it the last time. Don't worry, you won't get charged multiple times for it, it's a one-time purchase and Apple will notify you that you already purchased after you press Buy.

Great but why?

So, if I want to pass a message to my first pal, he has to be within 230ft from me. If I want to pass a message to my second pal via my first pal, that pal has to be within 230ft of pal 1. So its 460ft from me to pal 2. Why not yell or wave? I get the emergency thing but everyone isn’t that close together. Just scratching my head about the practicality of it.

Hi! Your math and logic is correct. Think of Berkanan as a local group chat app. Using Berkanan you can instantly send out a public message to users around you, be it your friends or strangers. Festivals and conferences are a perfect use case for it. Berkanan also has a strong focus on privacy. Your data (messages, etc.) is not collected to a central location, like many other messaging apps do. There are no user accounts or servers that run the app.
