Keep this alive!!

I love this app, hope the dev will keep it alive for future devices and iOS versions!

Great app, having trouble connecting to nearby users

Might need an update after some time

It’s a great app

“The app installs fine, but some features don’t work on my device. The subscription button doesn’t respond at all, and the app doesn’t show my device name correctly—it only displays ‘iPhone’ instead of the name I set. It might work better on some phones, but on mine the main features don’t function.”

Great app but needs one improvement for five stars

I love this app. It works excellent in situations where you’re near someone but can’t use cell service or WiFi to communicate. The one downside is that the text displays backwards, with the most recent text appearing at the TOP rather than at the bottom like in all other messaging apps. Please please make an option where the text displays in chronological order with the most recent texts at the very bottom. This would make the app a lot easier to use.

Thank you so much for creating such a good app!

Great app but not perfect

It works really well but seems to struggle with different iOS versions. We have two iPhone 5s phones that find each other and can text. My iPhone 15 doesn’t find any of them.

FAQ

What does Berkanan Messenger do?

Berkanan Messenger is a Bluetooth-powered group messaging app that allows users to communicate in situations with poor or no cellular connectivity. It supports both public group chats and private one-to-one encrypted messages.

How does Berkanan Messenger work without internet?

The app utilizes Bluetooth technology to send messages directly between devices. If the intended recipient is out of direct range, messages can be relayed through other users' devices that have the app installed, effectively extending the communication range.

Is Berkanan Messenger free to use?

The app offers a free tier with core messaging features. Premium features, such as profile editing and ad removal, are available through a subscription model. Payment is handled through your Apple ID account.

What are the range limitations of Berkanan Messenger?

Direct one-to-one messages have a range of approximately 70 meters. However, messages can be sent further by hopping through other users' devices that are within Bluetooth range of each other and have the app installed.

Do I need an account to use Berkanan Messenger?

No, you do not need to register for an account to use Berkanan Messenger. The app is designed for immediate use, allowing you to start communicating with nearby users right away.
