What do you like best about Signal?

I like that Signal is constantly updating and making sure that their software is secure. It gives me confidence every time I see an update that they are staying on top of potential threats. I also like that I can send notes to myself because it makes small transfers between iOS devices and my Windows Laptop a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

I don't really have many downsides other than the occasional disconnection of one of my devices from my Signal account, but they make reconnecting it pretty easy, so it's not a big deal to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Signal:

Make sure you link all of your devices so that you have a seamless experience and get the full benefit of using Signal! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Signal solves the problem of not wanting to use text messages to send images, messages, or small files back and forth to people who have limited IT infrastructure, such as small businesses. It helps make the world a safer place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Signal has solved the problem of having any middle man attacking our data with the verification tag we are now sure that this chat belongs to a particular person.

What do you like best about Signal?

The time Signal takes to deliver media files is very short. Used for a while and have faced no problems. On the matter of privacy, there can't be even a small doubt about Signal, it's really private. It's voice and video call quality is stupendous. I really like the way it's designed. It meets almost all the requirements to be the best messenger application. Using Signal will really make a difference for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

below are the 2 issues which I would like to highlight, 1. Immediate screen lock: It would be better if you can have the immediate screen lock once I left the session rather than the current 1 minute. 2. Unreliable notifications :- Sometimes messages won't be received if the Signal app has been closed for a long time or hasn't been opened after booting the device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ultimate privacy! What I like the most is that other users cannot see when you are online or typing and so cannot just bombard you with messages just because you happen to be online or get offended if you don't or delay responding... that is such a huge relief!!!! Also, contacts don't automatically appear on the Signal page. You have the choice to add them there. And then, of course all the privacy features the App provides!

What do you dislike about Signal?

Nothing at all, I can't complain, just wish more people use it to have more people talk over this application, especially to contact clients, it's kind of weird to ask to have a conversation over an application they don't normally use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
