Awesome! The integration seems pretty easy from what I see in the Github repo. Thanks for sharing

Hi Guys if any of you decide to venture into this particular SDK and get it to work for either iOS or Android, can you please share with the community, on how to implement. Nice find though

Looks pretty basic. I am busy investigating two more complex and powerful chat solutions for possible use in all my apps. Will post more later once we are at a point that we can announce something relevant to the whole BT community. Think secure, multi platform chat for clients to interact with their app users.

I'm calling this one a dud. Website forms barely work and there are no automated response emails when you try to sign up.

Looks interesting. I did the signup and they got back to me within a few hours. They seem heavy on the advertising part, the chat module is totally integrated with Google AdModb and seems to requires it. This is the ruse: "You can add our turnkey chat network to your app for free and we split the revenue 50/50 from native ads in the chat feeds." They want APP ID's before they will issue an API key. I was able to get a key by telling them I'm just looking at it for a project. Regardless, I think Quickblox is much better and way more customizable than this. I need chat rooms that can be moderated and the ability to kick users. Their UI looks really nice but I'm more interested in seeing the back-end and what kind of admin panel it has. Thanks for the tip. I can still see this being very usable for folks and not terribly difficult to integrate into a project.

Just an FYI if anyone else is tinkering with this SDK- I've added it to a test BT app and experienced a lot of issues with their screens crashing. It worked but when you navigated around their chat sessions and they tried to deliver the ads it would periodically crash the app. The Affinity tech support was quite helpful and narrowed it down to issues with the SBJSON Parser that BT uses. They suggested using native iOS JSON support. I'm just going to use thier SDK in non BT apps if I have the need. Slick SDK but not super customizable for things like modding chat rooms, etc....
