I love the app but I have tried the call and video feature with no luck. It will connect but will start showing that it is trying to reconnect amd then drops. a couple times the phone call connected but they said they couldn't hear me. Any suggestions? Also, for the past few months have been experiencing lengthy delays in text messages going through. we have looked at our settings and they are set right. I use and android phone and they have a iPhone. Again and suggestions?

It's secure and useful. Unlike an SMS messaging app, you can add people to group chats and take people off without creating a new chat each time, there's no spam, you can name chats according to their function instead of just having a list of names or phone numbers to tell chats apart, and there's no length limit on texts. I use it with family, which keeps the family texts in a separate app from work, junk, automated, or friend texts. My only complaint is there's no voicemail, just voice texts.

They added suggested responses to messages, which is standard for most messaging apps. Unfortunately, they are intrusive (difficult to dismiss) and usually end up popping into my message. I can't count the number of times I have to erase them before I can send the message that I want. There is no way to turn this feature off. I sent a message to the support team with no response. I only change my review because it is a daily annoyance.

Secure text that doesn't require an email address to sign up for a login. That's a win! The security comes first with this app, which means it is harder to do some simple things like switching phones, and impossible to do others, like using the service on multiple devices. This app is mobile first. Wish there was a mobile version of the desktop app, so multiple devices could work at the same time.

Signal is your #1 choice for privacy! This is the best free app for fully encrypted end-to-end messaging. They don't store any data on you, and they have coded the app specifically to keep data out of their hands. The interface is sleek, responsive and user friendly. Any quibble I have with the app is the natural result of using an app that ensures privacy over convenience. I'd love message recovery, but the app would have to surrender end-to-end encryption to deliver a solution.

A nice alternative to other messaging apps. However, I frequently experience issues with missed notifications, calls don't always ring, call quality can be poor/average, and on occasion, messages don't appear for a period of time (up to 30 minutes). The message then suddenly appears dated/timed 30 minutes prior.

Signal is great, but Google and Apple made it so you cannot use it as a primary messaging app. Now I have to confirm whether my friends have Signal before I message them. Signal has added some unnecessary features, like stories, and I don't think they should try to compete with the less secure messaging systems. Just be you, Signal. You are great as you are.

Excellent messaging app. While I'd like for it to do all messaging (i.e. SMS), there's no better encrypted messaging app available. The only way to make it better would be if it still allowed messaging to/from those who do not use Signal. Also, there are frequent delays in receiving messages between users. Still worthy of a 3☆ rating, although I want it to be a 5☆ app. Gotta be honest, though, and the issues are too significant to ignore.

This app is extremely easy to use and to add photos to your text messages. A keyboard integrates with it easily making it quick and efficient typing out your messages (bluetooth). I was hesitatnt to use it at first, but did resarch on this application. After research, I did not hesitate to start using it. I have not been disappointed.

The lag that occurs when trying to send/receive messages - when it happens, it's at the worst times. The devs barely acknowledge it and say it's the users' fault, even though it happens across multiple devices and various types of networks, even when the devices are on the same network. But yeah totally not the app's issue at all.
