This app was made out of pure interest to learn Multipeer Connectivity, one of Apple’s app frameworks.

It took me 4.5 hours to make this app, prepare the screenshots and publish it to the App Store. I don’t feel like charging anything for the app.

For now, there is no catch. Like I said, the app is free to use, and collects no data.

Down the road, the app likely will not receive the attention it may need to stay functional, because it is free.
