Why we're testing it
A community toolbox can fill gaps that a core client does not prioritize. KiekR is especially interesting for looking beyond one radio toward repeater and regional network visibility.
NBC verdict: beta watch.
Because the app is still developing, we'll separate temporary beta bugs from bigger workflow issues before assigning a score.

Test plan
- Bluetooth pairing with MeshCore companion radios
- Messaging workflow
- Repeater and region-map usefulness
- Network discovery features
- Stability across beta updates
- How it complements the official MeshCore app
Use it with
A portable MeshCore companion is the logical starting point. For network exploration, fixed repeaters and community infrastructure matter just as much as the phone app.
