Youth Apps - FireChat – A offline Messenger (Timely apps for Chennai Floods)

If you are in Chennai, Firechat may be the best tool for you to communicate in the current flood and rainy situation.  Firechat does not need a mobile signal and hence make a situation perfect tool for communication, we do agreed that you would need data service to install the application itself.

Firechat has been installed by 1,000,000+ users and has an average rating of 3.5 in Google Play Store.

Firechat occupies 20.38 MB of your device storage and cannot be moved on to an SD card.  Firechat can be installed on Android Device running version 4.0 and above.

FireChat works even without an Internet connection or cellular phone coverage. Use it anywhere: planes, public transportation, cruise ships, campuses, and crowded events. All you need is a few people using FireChat.

FireChat creates a mesh network using Bluetooth and peer-to-peer WiFi. FireChat transmits messages and pictures offline between devices that are located within 200 feet of one another.

FireChat users form a network that increases in size with the number of devices. It allows messages to hop from one device to the next in order to reach the recipient(s). This is why the more people use FireChat, the better and the larger the network becomes (unlike with cellular networks).

On the mesh network, messages are transmitted seamlessly from one device to the next in order to reach the recipient(s). When an Internet connection or cellular network is available, FireChat uses them to reach remote recipients.

Public messages are visible by anyone. Private messages are encrypted and can only be seen and read by the sender and the recipient.

You will be automatically connected directly with one another, creating your own network for public and private communications. The more people use it, the bigger and faster your network becomes. And when you do have access to a reliable Internet connection or cellular network, FireChat helps you reach people worldwide and build your audience faster than on any social network, for free.
