Always Stay in Touch

Just because you don't have WiFi or a data package doesn't mean can't still chat with people around you. This app makes it possible to chat offline with those in your "vCinity" as well as your Facebook friends. You can even invite people to join you in a chat. To keep the conversation flowing smoothly you'll receive notification when you get a new message. There are plenty of times it's actually impossible to get a WiFi signal such as on a car trip or while out and about. Don't let that stop you from chatting!

This app requires iOS 7.0 or later to use and currently has four out of five stars from users. In general you will find the user comments to be quite positive with the one thing people are asking for is to have more features available to them. In its most recent update a number of changes were made including bug fixes and enhancements to the overall performance of the app.

Using the App

You will be able to text the people near you for free and chat with people even when there isn't an available network connection. Now keep in mind this is for chatting with people in the "vCinity" and on Facebook so there is no guarantee there will always be someone able to chat, as some users have pointed out. I find the user interface to be quite pleasing; I really like the clean and simple design.

Because of this approach it makes following and having a conversation very easy. Now you won’t find much in terms of extra features and tools but this app is really just about giving you the ability to chat to people without using an Internet connection. Other than that it is meant to be very basic.
