Seems OK, for folks who can workaround a slightly difficult personal account registration process, and are only interested in communicating to a closed group. Competition probably includes Signal and WhatsApp, where contacts have to be registered also. Was hoping for general purpose app', to replace Google Messages. Appreciated Wire support responses to a bunch of folks struggling with the app'.

The androids started working together again. But iPhones and iPads are not. I've sat down with the iUsers to troubleshoot with them, and even after following the reset push notifications instructions, their iDevices and my android simply do not send notifications to one another. It's like email. I have to open Wire in order to download the messages. So do they. I can't figure it out.

I'm deleting this app because it don't work. I contacted support and they suggested leaving the app open for an extended period of time to see if that would correct the issue. It still don't work. Decrypting messages and waiting for network. It's been like this for at least 6-8 weeks. I'm going back to KIK and that app sucks now too. I guess I should take this as a sign to quit hiding messages. Edit.....I've tried rebooting the phone, force stop on app, check for updates, leaving app open. 👎👎
