Stay without communication Bridgefy Operating system: Android, iOS

The application provides communication and connection of smartphones at a distance of 100 meters using Bluetooth.

Bridgefy has a "Translation" mode. With it, you can send messages to all users of the application within the signal radius. Even those who are not on your contact list. This feature is useful if you need to ask for help during natural disasters. Please note that the first time you turn on the program, you will need the Internet.
