It is a very secure messaging app. If you want to be sure nobody ever gets access to your data, Threema is an excellent choice. The push notifications didn’t work on my Galaxy A8 at first, but there’s a troubleshooting page that explained how to fix it and they work now. Using multiple devices with […]

Dear Threema team, Please add an option to disable auto-play for voice messages in the Android app. It would be very helpful to have more control over audio playback. Thank you!

The app looks solid, but we’re missing a couple of key functions, like reacting to messages in group chats and the ability to have a link/qr/whatever to invite other people in the chat (which can also lead them to the store to buy the app, you know) , overall nice experience, but not many people […]

Waste Of Money. Only two of my contacts use Threema, so pretty pointless having it. Plus it was impossible to verify my phone number. Never received a code by text or phone. Seems I have just flushed £5+ down drain, as I am sure I won’t get a refund?

Laggy. Messages often don’t arrive unless I open the app. Considering this is paid for I expect it to at least be as good as free messenger apps. Functionality is underwhelming. Do something exciting and fix the delivery delays. Make it better please.

I thought I had finally found my secure communicator, but I am not able to make calls from it. Every time I call, I turn on the video call by touching the phone to my head. Why isn’t the option to enable Video call at the bottom of the screen, but at the top???? I […]

Damn right 👍, this is the best one out there I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and I gotta say I’m really not disappointed at all thanks to the team!!!

Great App, but I highly don’t suggest getting it from either Google Play or apple store. because then you are still filtering your data through it, meaning your messages aren’t safe. if you want to download the good version I suggest just getting it off of the [threema.ch] website. Otherwise, you might as well just […]

Been using Threema for many years. Since a few months, when I open a chat and start typing (using MS SwiftKey Keyboard v9.10.63.16) I often have the problem that the chat window suddenly closes and the typed text is deleted. So basically, Threema causes SwiftKey Keyboard to crash und exits back to the Threema-Homescreen. This […]

when I changed to a new phone I had a lot of trouble with the backups it’s way too complicated and inconvenient (people who don’t have a PC or Laptop loose all their stuff cause you have to do the backup that way 👎) I keep having the problem that the app doesn’t send my […]

recently I keep having a bug where when I try to call it is stuck on “Initializing”. Have to keep uninstallinng/ close app and reopening just to have a call go to “Ringing”.

Works great, it’s affordable, and no phone number or email is required. One drawback is there’s no multi-device support. It’s been something like 5 years since they announced they were working on it but there’s no viable solution yet. I would still like to see ephemeral messages. I understand the argument against it but I […]

Threema is worth paying the money its the best encrypted secure msg app out there n I’ve used them all. Was an avid Session user till found Threema I even pay for it so my customers can use it to contact me now to stop using Session. If you are looking for reliability, quick response […]

I really like the private nature of this messaging service. For this, 5 stars. However, this is the second [4th time now] time that it crashes almost every time I reply to a message (often losing the message I am in the middle of writing), and have to start again. It would be nice if […]

App regularly closes a chat by itself after i started typing, and you cant highlight more than one entry inside a chat (to delete only selected part). 90% of the time i cant call ppl, but they can call me without issues, and it happened on 3 different phones with different OS, so i know […]

My wife and I use this exclusively and have peace of mind. She’s on iPhone too so it’s nice to have all the read receipts and better quality videos that you can’t send over text. The one downside that doesn’t actually have to do with the app itself, but comes up when using it is […]

Can’t recommend this enough. The only thing it’s missing is self destructing messages, but that’s not really as reliable as you might think. You should always be careful of the things you send no matter what and that you full trust the person on the other end. If you care about your security and still […]

Desktop and Web clients does not allow you to edit a message after it was sent, while mobile app does. Why? The mobile app does not support voice typing! WHY? EVERY other messaging app supports voice typing! You cannot watch a video inside the app on a desktop! You need to download it to your […]

Consistently exceeds expectations! I have used Threema for years and, if they had stayed with the earliest versions of the app, I’d still purchase it! In addition to the encryption and security, they have continually added features that aren’t seen elsewhere with the encryption and security Threema provides. If someone with whom I regularly communicate […]
