Ratings and reviews

Was somewhat of a rough start, since regularly messages would get lost; hasn't been the case for a while now. But i've been using wire less and less lately. Now that i'm switching to a new phone, i wanted to try out the conversation backup. But it seems not to work correctly; it's only the backup "loading-spinner" going wild for several minutes until i had enough; only swipe-to-kill gives me access to the app again. There is no feedbavk what is taking so long or if there's a problem.

unfortunately too many bugs to be of practical use. sound quality is good, but the messenger cannot keep up with the claims it makes. it is very slow, messages get lost or delivered with big delays (several hours), notifications do not work always, pictures sent directly from within the app get a wrong mime type and cannot be displayed in the chat and many more...

I have used Wire for 3 years. Every time, I think - this issue will be fixed in the next update, etc. But it just seems to get worse and worse. I got several people to join. Now I'm going to convince them to delete and switch to Signal. 1. Pictures still getting rotated. 2. 'enter to send' broken after last update. 3. Crashes regularly. 4. Switching conversations is so slow. 5. Pictures only show camera pictures - why not all images? Makes me so extra work. 6. So many sync issues. And so on
