Ratings and reviews

Wanted to like Wire, but it just feels like a worse version of Signal. The app is clunky, overcomplicated, and not nearly as intuitive. It tries to do too much instead of focusing on being a great secure messenger. Signal is faster, cleaner, and way more reliable. Everything just works, and it actually feels private. Honestly, there’s no real reason to choose Wire over Signal.

Very easy app to use and I would highly recommend it for these reasons. 1. Secure and Private. I used to use WhatsApp thinking it kept my information private but too often it did not I have never had a problem with this new platform. 2. Easy to use and Understand 3. Perfect if you're looking to keep your privacy private. for these reasons above I give it a five star. I've never had a problem with this app. Highly Recommend.

New phone, still the same "setting up the app - waiting for network" bug so I literally cannot access my account and messages lmao My account is cooked, not because it's deleted or anything : wire just refuses to let me connect back to it. After looking online it's clear that this is a widely reported issue but Wire doesn't seem bothered by it as it's nowhere to be found in the troubleshooting guide that doesn't exist. The people behind this pathetic app are a bunch of clowns.
