Ratings and reviews

Could Bitchat support **hybrid connectivity**—using internet when available and automatically switching to Bluetooth mesh when internet/cellular is unavailable? Also, is there a plan for a more **normal, user-friendly UI**, similar to WhatsApp? I understand the goal is offline/decentralized messaging, but wouldn't a familiar UI help non-technical users adopt it? The technology is great, but I feel the unusual UI may be one reason normal users aren't attracted to Bitchat.

The reason I’m giving BitChat one star is not because the UI or security features are bad. In fact, the UI is good, and the security features are impressive. The problem is nobody uses it. I’ve been using the app since its launch, and honestly, I haven’t been able to have a single conversation with anyone else. An excellent messaging app is only useful if there are actually people to message. So yes, the app itself is well-designed and has strong security features, but the execution and user ado

make personal chats and global chats in different tabs. make it bit more user friendly. in times of no internet/ government restrictions this app can help. but due to the complications in UI it is hard for general people. thanks for the app. fellow android users, please use this app. none know when we will need it.
