aesthetic

super pretty & love the interface. just wish it was compatible with meshcore as well 😭

Excellent

Tbh, I’d buy group licenses for this, maybe offer 10-20 person license packs or something; where x number of people can use premoum features if someone buys a more expensive license key. Cool how you can buy with Stripe as well.

Not a fan of actually logging in, so probably will perpetually use the guest account thing; no data collected and optionally a choice to have no cloud/profile stuff would be cool. App store listing says data isn’f collected but the app has opt-out analytics by default which don’t align with such. Dev would be best off having those disabled by default and perhaps having one or two total ever prompts asking users to turn on analytics, so you actually get meaningful consent.

Oh, your app is fantastic by the way. Incredible implementation with pleasant ui and ux.

Thanks for working on it.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review and detailed feedback. Really appreciate both the kind words and the criticism. You’re absolutely right that SocialMesh should feel genuinely privacy-respecting, especially for people who prefer guest mode and local-first/offline-first usage. I’m currently working on changes to move analytics/diagnostics to an explicit opt-in model rather than opt-out, with clearer consent and better separation between crash diagnostics and product analytics. Guest mode and optional cloud/profile usage are also areas I want to continue improving and clarifying. The group/community licensing idea is also excellent and honestly fits the mesh community model really well, so that’s something I’m actively exploring for future releases. Thanks again for taking the time to write such a constructive review, and for the kind words about the UI/UX and implementation. It genuinely means a lot.

Приложение топчик!

А можно ещё сделать, чтобы всплывающие окна при удалении сообщения или когда ставишь реакцию на чужое сообщение, не перекрывали поле для ввода текста? Из можно перенести наверх например или в центр

Response from developer

Спасибо за отзыв! 😊 Проблема с перегревом iPhone во время работы приложения уже была значительно улучшена в последних обновлениях. Мы провели оптимизацию фоновых процессов и общего энергопотребления приложения. Пожалуйста, обновите приложение до последней версии в App Store.

Linguage

Спасибо за возможность выбора языка🤝👍

Крашится

После обновления чаще падет приложение и теряет связь с нодой, исправьте! И отключил виджет последних сообщений повторное включение требует купить функции🤣

Response from developer

Спасибо за сообщение. Эти проблемы уже были исправлены в последней версии приложения, включая улучшения стабильности, исправления потери связи с нодой и проблемы, связанные с виджетами и Premium-функциями. Пожалуйста, обновите приложение до последней версии в App Store и сообщите нам, если проблема всё ещё будет повторяться. 😊

Don’t use this app or it’ll burn your phone

I forgot to turn off this app from background mode. The phone heated up all night and by the morning it was so hot that it was impossible to pick up.

Response from developer

Thanks for flagging that. There was a mismatch in v1.37.0 where the Recent Messages widget shipped on the default dashboard for every new user, but the Add Widget picker treated it as a paid widget. That meant if you removed it, you could see a paywall when trying to add it back, even though you never had to purchase it in the first place. That was not intentional. I’ve fixed this for the next release so Recent Messages is free for everyone, matching the default-dashboard behaviour. Once you update, you’ll be able to re-add it without a purchase prompt.

This app raises at the bar

This app really raises the bar as a Meshtastic client for iOS. It’s compatible with the standard Meshtastic firmware and devices, and the user experience is really great. I am sold.

Response from developer

Love hearing this. Great to know it’s working seamlessly with your Meshtastic devices. We’ve been shipping improvements quickly, so make sure you’re on the latest version.

Great app!

It would be awesome if you added MeshCore support.

Response from developer

Really appreciate it! MeshCore support is definitely on the roadmap and I’m looking into the best way to integrate it properly. More to come soon.

хорошая программа

Работает с устройствами meshtastic, позволяет общаться и настраивать устройства. Спасибо разработчику.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to leave a review, it genuinely means a lot. Great to hear everything is working well with your Meshtastic devices. If you ever run into issues or have ideas for improvements, feel free to share them. Feedback like this helps shape the app. Appreciate the support.

Thank you

Thank you for your application, please translate it completely into Russian

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words and support, it means a lot. We currently have a Russian translation in progress, and it will be completed soon. Appreciate your patience while we get everything fully localized. Thanks again for using the app.

Замена meshtastic

Пользоваться можно

Response from developer

Спасибо за отзыв, рад, что приложение оказалось полезным. Если у вас будут идеи или пожелания по улучшению, обязательно дайте знать. И рекомендую обновиться до последней версии, в ней есть улучшения стабильности и работы с устройствами. Спасибо, что используете приложение.

Its works well

I wrote a pretty favorable review for this app and got censored by Apple. No idea why. This app will add to understanding of your local Meshtastic network. There are a lot of tools and views. It takes some pressing around to discover them all. 3d maps could use a North pip to orient.
Team map integration would be awesome. Really good overall.

Response from developer

Thanks for updating your review. We don’t moderate or remove App Store reviews ourselves, as that’s handled entirely by Apple. If something didn’t appear, it would have been filtered or delayed on their side. Appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback again.

Пуши

Не отключаются пуши для каналов. В последнем обновлении якобы поправили это и даже добавили для каждого канала возможность отключения, но они все равно не отключаются. Получается, перед релизом даже не в состоянии проверить, работает ли так, как ожидается.

Response from developer

Спасибо за подробный отзыв, это действительно помогает. Проблема с уведомлениями для каналов действительно была в более ранних версиях, включая 1.21.0. После этого поведение было исправлено и доработано. Пожалуйста, обновите приложение до последней версии, там управление уведомлениями работает корректно и более предсказуемо. Если после обновления проблема всё ещё сохраняется, дайте знать, разберёмся детально. Спасибо, что сообщили об этом.

Seems decent, but..

..no option to switch the app language per application basis. Please consider adding it. Localisation sucks in fact.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, this is a valid point. Per-app language selection is on the roadmap, and localisation is being improved across the app. You’ll see this get significantly better in upcoming updates.

Its works

I wrote a pretty favorable review for this app and got censored. No idea why. So here is my new one.

Meshtastic overlay

Seems very nice and powerfull modern gui but for some reason packets sent from this device are not seen in the meshtastic app. Otherwise it is pretty cool.

Response from developer

Thanks for the detailed feedback. Packet visibility between different apps can depend on firmware versions, channel configs, and routing behaviour. We’re actively improving interoperability and diagnostics so this becomes clearer and more reliable.

Много багов

- Невозможно отключить уведомления от каналов, кнопка в настройках ни на что не влияет.
- Не всегда отправляются сообщения, часто зависает в состоянии «Отправляется».
- Часто удаляются истории переписок при выходе из приложения.
- Нагревается телефон.
- Слишком много лишних функций, например функция трансляции данных…
- Material Design на iOS… Не самое удачное решение, выглядит ужасно.
- Карты часто долго подгружаются, почему не использовать Apple Maps api?

Приложению еще расти и расти, но на данный момент им пользоваться очень сложно, перегруженный интерфейс в перемешку с не проработанными функциям - только отталкивает.

Response from developer

Thank you for the detailed feedback. You described several important issues: – channel notifications – message sending – history persistence We are already working on improving the stability of these systems. If possible, please send more details via the bug reports feature by shaking the app, it helps us identify and fix issues faster!

Греется телефон

Выглядит красиво. Телефон сильно греется при использовании

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. Increased resource usage can occur during active mesh operation, especially when scanning and processing packets. We are already optimising this behaviour to reduce load and device heating.

Responsive and fast.

Love the features on the app and it’s super responsive. Feels really good.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, glad you’re enjoying the performance and overall feel. We’ve put a lot of focus into responsiveness and smooth UX, and there’s more optimisation work already in progress.

Nice!!

A terrific alternative to the standard Meshtastic app, with a well designed interface and a creative touch to the user experience. Well done!
