Ratings and reviews

I like the app but it has a major problem. I have to restart my phone every few days as messages don't always come through. Once I restart, the messages appear. and it's not just my side, many of my contacts have the same issue. I hope they can get this fixed up before I have to move on to something more reliable. Edit: STOP LYING AND TELLING PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE FIXED THIS ISSUE, CLEARLY IT IS NOT RESOLVED

Wire is an excellent messaging app for those who want to talk to their friends or business partners, without the risk of data leaking which Facebook is known for. Tonnes of power and a simple interface. Best part? It's free! I have used wire on Ipad for a few months and it has been undoubtedly fantastic. I found it on android and was delighted to use it on my phone. After a few weeks of good usage, however, an error came up stating that "wire has stopped working". How do I fix this?

The latest update causes entire conversations to be lost, forces you to use a split screen with no option to change it (which makes the remote video tiny), no video options, and if you try to change the camera it just says "not yet implemented". The latest version was clearly not properly tested before being pushed out. If you use this app I would recommend disabling automatic updates so this does not happen to you too.
