What do you like best about Signal?

I love that Signal is encrypted. I have nothing to hide, yet the beauty of having encryption with the option of automatically deleted messages makes every deal that much safer and secure. I would even feel comfortable sending passwords or credit card information over Signal if I had to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

There is little that I dislike at this point. When I'm using the application on my phone, it sometimes gets stuck on a message when I'm using swipe for navigation, but other than that, I'm happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Signal solves the problem of privacy. Sending emails is an insecure process and anyone could intercept and read your email. Many other messengers have invasive protocols that read what you're sending. Signal does away with these constraints easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Signal?

For me! I like the video chat which is working well. rather than other well-known and very famous apps like Wu. where I have never succeeded to make one video call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

I really dislike making a notification sound for every message you receive, even if you are opening the chat. For example, if you open a chat and text someone, and that person sends you a message, your phone will ring to alert you that you have a message. that's annoying a little bit. You can make it silent when I am already opening this chat and texting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Signal:

I advise using signals for anyone opening a business depending on advertising messages. Plus, If you are interested in making good video calls & private texting groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

When you want to make real private conversations in groups. Moreover, I use it as a professional business chatting app. because other chat applications become very cloudy and when you have a business and want to make some promotions on these crowded apps, it will look like a scam.

What do you like best about Signal?

Not a Meta product. Peer to peer communication with text and media. At least the data is in safer hands, even after two sides authenticated the messages in whatsapp gets public, so, it is the best thing about this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

Features are not so standard. The monopoly of software isn't in the community's best interest. Compared to the market standard, it is not up to the mark yet. There is more room for improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Signal:

Best alternative to whatsapp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Peer to peer communication with text and media. The real assurance of having the messages sent or received are private not only in writing but also in action. At this era, the security of data is should be the topmost priority. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Signal?

Signal's messaging is end-to-end encrypted so your data is far safer than when using other applications. I use this with a number of group conversations and everyone that uses it within our groups really likes the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

The main thing I don't like about this application is that is when using android you can choose to use it as your default messaging application for SMS and MMS messages. If you have a contact that has signal installed but doesn't use it very much, the application will default to sending a message through signal. If they're someone that doesn't check signal very often then they won't receive the message for a while. I'd like it if there was an option to set the default sending method (Signal, or SMS) for specific conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Signal:

It can be a bit of of a challenge trying to get all of your contacts to switch to a new chat platform but it is worth switching to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have group conversations with friends that we use to organize events and as a general chat platform. It has been very beneficial to use for connecting with people that are not in the country as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no option to see whoever viewed our sent messages in the group. also, it has some connectivity issues in a low bandwidth network. all other features are perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Signal?

Signal is a very easy platform to use. Starting with the simple user creation process, it feels natural and intuitive to begin adding contacts and start messaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

The only inconvenience I have ever experienced while using Signal involved moving my account to a new platform. When I upgraded my devices, I had to reinstall Signal and log into my account, however, I found that the history of all my messages was gone. This was only a slight inconvenience and highlights the importance of privacy in the Signal platform as all messages are stored locally and not on a corporate server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Signal allows me to easily and seamlessly communicate with any other Signal user while ensuring peace of mind that my communications are being kept private and not subject to corporate oversight or being sold to third parties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
