The nut Pro2s has been on sale for two weeks on JD.com, with just 11,000 comments. Less than 100 TNT units are on order. But at smartisan’s product launch on August 20, “bullet text messages” went viral.
But does this bullet text really work? As the saying goes, there is no right to speak without investigation. The author specially downloaded bullet messages from app Treasure and used them heavily for four days.
The interface is slightly outdated and buggy
The pseudo-object style is a bit out of date
First of all, the interface of bullet message. The materialization of smartisan OS is a consistent symbol, while the status bar of bullet message is pure black, without processing and definition, the same as before Android4.4 (API <19), which is greatly different from the overall color of app. Permissions are acquired once again (target<22). The home TAB may have been made with an ancient tabhost so that switching is stiff, and there are large white bars at the top of each switch, which, combined with the 2013 skeuomorphism, looks out of place in 2018, when Android has been upgraded to API28.
Bugs everywhere.
For example, when I entered a wrong mobile phone number during registration, I deleted one number and re-entered the verification code, and the verification code countdown continued. However, Button’s response event was restored. Under the author’s continuous click, A series of short messages were received several seconds later.
Another example is the group code shared by users. When the group is not full and the TWO-DIMENSIONAL code has not expired, it often becomes invalid, making the original few ways to add friends become more difficult.
Another example is the bug of message notification. The message sent by each person in a group is displayed in the notification bar. When I got up in the morning, I was really surprised by the 56 notification bar messages sent by my friends.
Another example is the exposure of the interface. After the users grab the network interface, they find that the bullet SMS interface is exposed to leak user information. There are all kinds of casual flash back small problems temporarily not table.
Bullet texting can be used in limited situations.
It’s hard to find a second use scenario other than friends and fun (qr codes often don’t work). However, the single form of adding friends often leads to the failure to find someone to chat with when opening the software. Even powerful social acquaintance apps such as wechat QQ also have discovery functions to strive for user retention. Bullet message but only input ID or mobile phone number of these two ways to add new friends, there is no fuzzy search function.
User information leakage, sexual harassment
And at the same time as a result of the exposure of the interface, bring about user information exposure, often the flow of cheater procuress harassment users, sell medicine to sell spring, make the user very headache.
The chat function is extremely smooth, due to the integration of NetEase Yunxin SDK
However, in a variety of bugs and suffocating operation feel, the author found that bullet SMS communication is extremely smooth, instant messaging to achieve such a difficult and technical accumulation. As a small software team, how does Smartisan make the communication kernel so smooth?
With these questions in mind, I reverse-engineered the Bullet messaging APP:
Are in trouble, I see the com. Tencent. StubShell. TxAppEntry, hammer technology upload application treasure, after reinforcement of tencent cloud, this makes the crack work becomes boring to some, is the author to blatantly violence hulled, suddenly thought of usual research (CTRL) in (c) used to code, Forgetting common sense, I opened the bullet SMS APK androidMainfest.xml with AXMLPrinter, and sure enough, I found something:
Bullet SMS androidMainfest.xml
According to the author’s search, this is the appID setting code of NetEase Yunxin SDK
Link.zhihu.com/?target=htt…
Dev.yunxin.163.com/docs/produc…
Yes, it is NetEase Yunxin SDK.
Bullet message announced that it had raised 150 million yuan and was valued at 2 billion yuan, ranking first in Appstore. The core functions were originally modified and recreated based on NetEase Yunxin SDK Demo.
Some pages contain NetEase field, which is suspected to be the demo code of NetEase Yunxin.
We may not understand this meaning, under normal circumstances, choose to call the INSTANT communication SDK APP, chat is its additional functions, such as dragonfly FM is the main function of the audio system. Downwind, the main function is delivery. Zhaopin recruitment, the main function is the talent market classification of big data and so on, their chat is only an additional small function, and the development of instant messaging costs a lot of money, call instant messaging SDK is very normal.
Bullet message, as a specially defined social chat APP, the core instant messaging function is also called instant messaging SDK. And in a short period of time to obtain 150 million yuan of financing.
conclusion
Bullet SMS core function called NetEase cloud SDK, smooth experience. Prove NetEase cloud letter service is still very good. Bullet message itself in such a short time gathered extremely high heat, in addition to the old luo personal brand, the product itself is also a bit of a new idea.
But BUG, the problem of yellow information is not solved, bullet messages will be short-lived.
