애플의 에어드랍 무선 통신 원리를 사용한 채팅 앱 Room 404 입니다! -------------------- [어떤 앱인가요?] -------------------- Room 404는 같은 공간에 있는 사람들과 인터넷 없이도 빠르게 연결해서 채팅할 수 있는 근거리 채팅 앱이에요. 주변에 있는 기기들을 찾아 연결하고, 연결이 닿지 않는 사람에게는 중간에 연결된 사람이 메시지를 이어서 전달해요. -------------------- [어떤 원리로 동작하나요?] -------------------- 1) 주변 기기 탐색: 같은 공간의 기기들을 자동으로 찾아요 2) 근거리 연결: 가까운 기기끼리 직접 연결해요 3) 메시지 전달(중계): 직접 연결이 안 된 사람에게도 연결된 기기들이 메시지를 이어서 보내요 4) 인원 표시: 현재 채팅 가능한 사람 수를 화면에서 확인할 수 있어요 -------------------- [이런 상황에서 유용해요!] -------------------- - 강의시간이 너무 심심하고 지루할 때요 같은 강의실 사람들과 "오늘 과제 뭐예요?", "출석 했어요?", "지금 어디까지 했어요?" 같은 잡담을 자연스럽게 나눌 수 있어요 - 동아리/스터디/MT에서요 "지금 어디로 모이면 돼요?", "자리 남았어요?", "누가 물건 챙겼어요?" 같은 소통을 빠르게 할 수 있어요 - 행사/전시/페스티벌처럼 사람이 많은 곳에서요 데이터가 느리거나 와이파이가 불안정해도 주변 사람들과 대화를 시작하기 좋아요 -------------------- [핵심 특징] -------------------- - 닉네임만 정하면 바로 시작할 수 있어요 - 주변 사람 목록과 연결 상태를 확인할 수 있어요 - 가볍고 단순하게, 대화에 집중할 수 있어요

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Room 404 at none against VERO's 1. VERO's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
