Comments on MeshCore for Android

★★★★★ Vladimir Premeru · Jul 28, 2026
Great! I would suggest the option of seeing the path of sent messages (long press) and more granular routing settings. Cheers
★★★★★ Matthew Morris · May 30, 2026
Works as it should! In some places the UX could use a bit of polish, but overall everything is intuitive and Just Works. Plus, the Mesh core protocol doesn't suffer from telemetry spam or collisions from every client (companion) node screaming out everything it hears.
★★★★★ - Nelson (‪N1‬) · May 7, 2026
I'm really enjoying mesh core, leaps ahead of meshtastic. It would be nice if the "View message paths" had a map feature to help work out which repeater the route took when it shows multiple repeater's with the same 1 or 2 byte key
★★★★★ - Nelson (‪N1‬) · Aug 22, 2026
Meshcore works great, there are a few things' I'd like to see in the next app update, the ability to search for nodes using the map. e.g. search for <1d and view all the nodes on map with that 1byte ID, and secondly please make mesh core work on car play / android auto. Thanks for all the great work Liam
★★☆☆☆ Stephen Peters · Mar 19, 2026
Seeing messages 30+ hops away. None of mine are being seen beyond 2 or 3 hops. It seems it's not just me. Everyone in my area is experiencing the same thing. Someone's blocking our signals somewhere. Not happy that the app doesn't use the phone's current GPS location to auto-update the node. Also not happy that companions can only advert manually.
★★☆☆☆ Ash · Aug 26, 2026
I like the functionality of this app, however for being the "official app" it's quite a bummer that it's not open source :c
★★☆☆☆ Robert D · Jan 10, 2026
I am an experienced Meshtastic user, just flashed a Heltec T114 device and can only manage via USB cable, no Bluetooth. Not impressed. I put it in an upstairs window and will report back if it can see anything. If not, flashing back to Meshtastic where Bluetooth worked, and it could see over 100 nodes. Ok, a day later, zero Mesh Core nodes discovered, flashed device back to Meshtastic and will check back with Mesh Core next year.
★☆☆☆☆ sav dmp · Feb 21, 2026
I keep needing to re-pair BT. Please fix! Using a Heltec V3, but had the same problem with a RAK4631 I have ref lashed the devices and every couple of attempt it does work, however having to remove the node from the BT list and repairing it is not workable. The app does see the node but seems unable to fetch info from it. Clicking advert in the app does seem to activate the nodes LED, so it is partially connected.
