1. **Offline Messaging**: Fire Chat uses mesh networking technology, enabling communication without internet or cellular connections, which is useful in areas with poor coverage or during large events.
2. **Emergency Communication**: Ideal for emergencies where traditional communication infrastructure fails, allowing messages to be sent and received through nearby devices.
3. **Privacy**: Offers private and secure messaging as it encrypts communication, ensuring confidentiality and reducing the risk of data breaches.
1. Limited Range: Fire Chat relies on Bluetooth and peer-to-peer connections, restricting its effective communication range to around 200 feet, making it unsuitable for long-distance or widespread use.
2. Privacy Concerns: Messages sent through Fire Chat can potentially be intercepted by nearby users, raising privacy and security concerns.
3. Stability Issues: The app sometimes experiences connectivity problems and crashes, leading to unreliable communication during critical moments.
