What do you like best about Signal?

I like the encrypted chat features and the simple and easy UI functionality. The option to add contacts directly from the phonebook is seemless. The call video and audio quality are just as good as other similar applications. The most important thing on this platform is the safety of personal data, which is lacking in some other applications of similar quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

It's not as appealing as other similar applications like telegram, which on the surface promises to offer a similar service. Another caveat is the fact that not a lot of people seem to use it, and therefore it's not easy to engage in a conversation with other people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Signal:

It's good if you're looking for an alternative to other secure messaging applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Signal solving and how is that benefiting you?
