Ratings and reviews

I really need a Wi-Fi option that works without internet access, so I can still communicate locally over Wi-Fi even when there’s no connection. I’ve already set up Wi-Fi HaLow (IEEE 802.11ah), but my internet service is really unreliable — it keeps cutting out and sometimes disappears for hours. That’s why I urgently need this feature, so I can keep my devices connected, share files, or send messages even when the internet is down.

I have given it 4 stars though I would have given it 5 stars if it had a feature to save people you know and have a section yk like a dm section otherwise it gets very messy to wait for them to get online click on them and then open the chat and if you direct message someone you cannot save it (the messages) that's okay but at least you should be able to save them (the user who you are chatting with) so if there was a dms section in this app that would be great and very much appreciated

the reason i gave it four and not five is cuz its amazing and all but u cant savw people to chat with for example whatsapp or discord like,i like how it has public channels,but its not hyped enough,i dont see it gaining enough attention and thats why its most likely gonna fail,we need it advertised more,mass installed..
