Open-source chatting application powered by Google's Firebase.

ChatApp v1.1

ChatApp is a project that I started to improve my Android Development knowledge. Later on I have decided to make it public, open source and publish it on Play Store.

It uses Firebase's Authentication/Database/Storage/Messaging/CrashReporting libraries for it's implementation and several other libraries that they are listed on Third Party Notices.

Make sure you read App's Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions before using it.

Based on Lapit Chat Youtube Series which can be found here.
