Bug fixes and improvements

User reviews

Wanted to really like this

Worked when I first set it up, but next time I tried messages appeared to send but didn’t , attempted to bounce the Bluetooth and reboots, but nothing helped. When working you can see the Rnode transmit, when failing the Rnode does not show any message transmits.

It’s all you got but

It’s all you got right now, but it still isn’t good. Basic stuff doesn’t work, I deleted a chat and kept getting notifications about new messages. There are none. Then I go to message that old hash and as soon as I do, all those hidden messages are there. I appreciate the attempt but it’s alpha code at best

Good implementation

Works as expected. Simple but functional.

Works Partially

I am happy that a Reticulum client exists for the iPhone!

I am experiencing messages being sent ok—but, not received.

I feel this app needs three core things:

1. A force Sync or Send/Receive button
2. Sync logging
3. Identity Management

Works well

Works well but sadly it doesn’t appear to run in the background correctly so I cannot receive messages unless it is open
