Ratings and reviews

good interface, very secure, allows you to limit people viewing YOUR messages after you might split up, and nice and customizable. more covert than I'm used to though, I keep wanting to make a bio or description or profile for myself before realizing "wait, this whole thing's deal is privacy" that's literally the only thing that could be counted as a problem, and it's just me thinking of something that the app is designed not to do, so over all. perfect!

Literally everything is broken now...I don't know what's happened over the last couple of weeks, but the app is unusable. People that are showing up as members of groups cannot see the group. People that you remove from the group can still access it. Notifications for groups are non-existent and not working too well for individual messaging. Audio messages not sending, recipients can't load them if they do send. Honestly I think your app has been sabotaged. Apple and Android both affected.

I like the concept of this app, but I keep on having to clear my data almost daily because after a certain point my messages fail to send. I'm really tired of having to constantly use my recovery phrase and wait for the most recent messages to be pulled up. Also, it takes forever to get the most recent messages pulled up afterward. It cycles through days of messages as opposed to quickly bringing up where I left off before I had to clear the data. Please fix these issues. I really like it.
