Doesn't work on Pixel 3. Doesn't work on latest Android versions. Also, seems the company abandoned the consumer market and focusing on government contracts.

I like the concept. I hope to find some uses this summer hiking. However I'm disappointed it hasn't had any updates in the app since August 2018. The Pixel 3 XL seems to have Bluetooth connectivity issues as well. Not sure if it's the phone or something else. I hope they keep it going.

The device worked the way It was supposed too and is really cool. I just need more users in order for the device to work at a greater distance. My only complaint is that you cannot name your groups in the chat menu. I would like to create different groups of my contact list and give each group a name.

Latest update broke all downloaded offline maps. Cannot view or manage them, all slots are greyed out. Not user friendly. When trying to add contacts or setup an account, an extra country code is often appended on the front of the phone number, which impedes communication until the error is discovered. Clunky Bluetooth implementation does not allow the app to be closed without severing communication with the device. Persistent notification is annoying.
