Ratings and reviews

AWS should be ashamed to put out a product like this. Might have the security but it has the ability and look of texting 15 years ago. can't leave a draft in a text because it will delete it. can't send delayed messages like in every other app. again I'm sure it's because of security but you download a freaking document and you can't actually download it in portrait mode because you can't rotate the landscape to actually read it.

kills battery on phone constantly searching for messages, even after setting the application to not do that. when it does deliver a message, while expected in real time, when you are connected to the app....it is provided with significant delay. the quality of this app pales in comparison to common publicly available alternatives. other apps dont damage your battery and are able to provide messages in a timely manner, this app doesn't do either.

This app sends messages. In that vein, Wickr and I can agree that it is indeed a messaging application. However, it can do none of the things even basic SMS can do - you cannot forward messages, photos, or send delayed text messages. In that vein, AWS has failed to deliver a product worth downloading. If there wasn't an implied threat to my free time by my superiors, I wouldn't have bothered downloading it.
