FireChat

How to communicate with friends inside a nightclub where there is no coverage, or be in contact in places where the influx of people are such that the cinternet connection is saturated? Having a smartphone and the most used messaging app is not always enough to stay in touch Something the creators of FireChat have put a lot of thought into A messaging tool for iOS focused in do not use the Internet connection to work where other tools do not.

This is a curious and open communication tool that doesn't even need a previous configuration. Of course, it is exclusive to iOS 7 since it takes advantage of the technology Multipeer Connectivity Framework of this operating system, being able to establish communication with other devices without a single WiFi network or a same Internet connectionThe negative point is that the maximum distance is about 10 meters in order to establish good communication, limiting the process quite a bit. However, it is especially useful for keeping in touch at a concert, secluded place or any other environment no coverage or saturation of the line.

Its operation is really simple, and it does not require the creation of a user account or something similar to work.Just launch FireChat and access the main chat screen. This is divided into two according to two types of existing conversations: Nearby to contact other users near the position, or Global, to access a global chat where all users can communicate and send content to the whole world.

In this way, the user can see under these tabs how many users are online at the moment and start chatting with them fromdirect and immediate way In the case of the tab Nearby it is not necessary to have internet connection, which does not limit conversations to text messages only. And is that users close to each other can also send photos to show where they are or what they see from their position.All this with total confidentiality since there are no user accounts or records, although it is possible to configure some public issues from the menu Settings

The global chat, however, is somewhat more chaotic as it is not divided into different rooms. This is an environment where all FireChat users with an Internet connection can meet and send messages and photos publiclySomething that makes communication somewhat difficult if there are a large number of active users, but can be useful for finding entertainment or chatting.

In short, a messaging tool that seems especially useful for places without coverage At events and places where it is impossible to connect to the network . The only point negative is that its exclusivity on the iOS platform closes the doors to being a much more widespread and used tool, although it is an application of recently createdAt the moment it is possible to download it completely free through App Store
