| 2024-12-05 |  | | In the past it happened many times that either i or the recepient don't receive the messages. For awhile everything worked great. But now, again, my messages aren't arriving to the destination. |
| 2024-12-03 |  | | Simply perfect, yeah, there are many features that someone could think about and propose but in its purpose it's simply perfect |
| 2024-11-20 |  | | Perfect. Just need ability to force delete for everyone. Since now u can delete only for yourself chats. That seems not very secure if someone can force save messages and later usem them as proof sending from that account. Idk 😅. But overall very good app. Currently most secure app |
| 2024-11-16 |  | | It's very secure and easy to sign in and use. I love that we can change the appearance and colors, but we can't still do that with the texts, they have to be just black, I hope we can have that option in the future. |
| 2024-11-12 |  | | The best alternative to Signal in my opinion. But it also has a different use case. It is highly recommended by privacy and security focused people. |
| 2024-10-29 |  | | Made by a Russian, now don't get me wrong I'm sure they good people and all, don't have any objective information against them but in light of recent Russia ban on simplex it reminds of a time when telegram and durov personally were considered freedom fighters in russia while hosting basically vk #2 with all data on server side by default. My point being, Russian made security and privacy oriented products aka kaspersky, adguard (which I used for a decade) suspicious, including FOSS ones. |
| 2024-10-26 |  | | Seems like a legit, straightforward app that's completely centered on rights to privacy. No complaints so far. Highly recommend! |
| 2024-10-19 |  | | The videos shared will only download half the time. What's the use of having a app to share videos of half the time they won't download!! |
| 2024-10-18 |  | | Honestly, a bit overkill for most people . Don't get me wrong , I love it . But you will not have easy conversations with non tech savvy people. If you are considering this , you need too consider upgrading your environment as well . Custom ROM , and divorcing Google. It does what it does very well though and should be the go-to when signal becomes not trusted anymore . |
| 2024-10-16 |  | | Needs optimisations on battery side. Also, the pc app should be improved for better cross platform usability. We should be able to use the mobile app and PC app at the same time. Moreover, when you drag and drop an image into PC app, it sends as file, not as pic, which is kinda annoying. I also would like to have the option to hide the notification when I set the message notifications to *instant*. That said, the app has been steadily improving quite fast, full support :) |
