I cannot wait until it's in an appstore for android and that it will work with android/iphone together. And i seriously hope you do not abandon it. That being said, i have questions:

1. When i have a higher version, but others have a lowerpaid version, can i still connect to more members, or am i constrained by the lowestpaying customer in the network? 2. Do you have reproducible builds? 3. airdrop sadly only works with iphones, how will this be done with android? 4. would it be a possibility, that after some time you made decent money, you consider a even higher paid stage, where i can fully build the best /most feature version myself? just in case you ever leave the project? 5. https://github.com/RedGridMGRS/RedGridMGRS is a 404 for me? 6. Would it be possible you also use openstreetmap or better to say integrate map loading from there? 7. Would you consider adding something like https://www.fixphrase.com / what3words-alternative into the app, so coordinates could be uses with phrases?

If anyone is interested in testing the Android versions, please use the following link:

I welcome all feedback. My goal with this app is to make something I myself want to use. Hopefully it becomes that for you all as well!

Have you looked at Bluetooth LE Long Range? I believe more recent phones have it and it claims communication of up to 1km. In practice less in the woods I'm sure. Still a dramatic win over standard Bluetooth though.

Cool idea, but doesn't Meshtastic already do this but with better range because it uses radio instead of BT?

Is this iOS only?

Super cool idea! This would be amazing for Airsoft games

Very cool idea. What's the range of BLE connectivity? I can't imagine it gets far

Isnt the range of Bluetooth pretty much the range of a loud yell?
