Super cool app, thank you Mr. Dorsey.These features would be great to have:A sort of “location” feature that you have the option to turn on and only pops up in private chats, then it would show the other user the heading you are facing with a compass, and the distance you are away from the other user, relative to the amount of feet you are from them. Could make the app seem less private though, but maybe by default it can be off.A general settings page to change font, font size, color, and other features.Changing the blue blinking typing indicator to green would look a bit nicer and consistent on the app.This one would be SUPER cool, but I have no clue if this is possible. The ability to send “images”, but instead, you would select an image (just by a + button then select from your camera roll) and it would convert the image into ASCII text that you could then send a sort of “pixelated” version of that image without needing to store all that color data and just send text which is much better for BLE. Having the option to save the non ASCII version of the image to your camera roll would be nice too.

Brilliant little app. I can think of all sorts of situations in which this would be useful, but at least right now the notifications on iOS are hit and miss. Also, I'm wondering how this would handle spam if it becomes ubiquitous and shady people can just rename themselves again and again to pester users, but that's a long way in the future. I'm excited to see where this app goes... Well done, Jack!

This is a perfect solution for chatting while onboard a plane without wifi or while off the grid! It’s privacy minded so group chat in a particular area during major civic events is a real viable possibility too. The only issue currently that is blocking adoption for me is that the text entry field is tagged to prevent keyboards from remembering and learning from your text, it seems, so autocorrect is effectively disabled. That’s appropriate for the purpose of this app but makes it really hard to use for everyday chat - it would be great if this was a setting where you could opt in to allowing your phone to treat the text box as one intended for natural language input with normal autocorrect and editing support etc.

I use this to chat with my family when we camp in remote areas. It works very well. I do wish we could swipe the keyboard off the screen when not in use. I also wish somehow it could run in the background for relaying and receiving messages.

so I’d give less stars if I was convinced the app doesn’t work, but I figured it does. I can’t really tell because nobody I know has this app near me, so I never get to actually test it out and chat with others. I’ve seen the very few features it has (without anybody around you, you will only be able to open the app up, change your name, and that’s kind of it.) so.. yknow, just use it in school or something.

Good idea, but it rarely works. Will not recognize others even just a few feet away. Update 9/14 - has stopped recognizing any other devices, no matter what is tried. Deleting. Got a developer response. Thank you for responding. It read as follows: “would love to understand your setup. i have not seen this behavior. " The only problem is, I still have no way to contact them. They did not leave an email or phone number, and there is none I can find on the developer link. I would love to help, but there is no way to do so.

The app opens up a real world of freedom of speech. No one will be able to track your messages anymore. Not the secret services, not the government, and not the companies. Thank you! The most important thing right now is to promote the app, as it doesn't work well with a small number of users.

Great app before but now that I have updated iOS to the newest version TOR doesn’t load so I can’t join any channels. Worked great on previous devices but never connects to node so I can’t see anything besides Bluetooth. For now unusable which breaks my heart

Biggest thing I don’t love is the “wanna jump in” notification when it detects another user nearby. It would be nice to at least be able to customize or disable that feature.

Amazing app, it even sends messages in airplane mode. Will use it for travel in large groups on a plane. Very clean and easy to use interface, looking forward to having bitcoin transaction capability added in the future. Simple, clean, and decentralized.
