What do you like best about Signal?

The UI is very beautiful. I think for work, it is the best replacement to WhatsApp for me. I trust the app's private security features. People can't see when we are online which helps in a business/work related context. I think if someone wants security, this is the app to go forward with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

Camera quality is very poor. My phone has a very good camera, but somehow when I click photos within Signal, the quality becomes poor. Also, sometimes notificationa do jot come until I open the app. So this needs to be fixed. Also it takes up more storage than other messaging apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Signal helps me message my colleagues in a work environment. It is suitable as a working environment app, as it is secure and has features supporting privacy. The UI is very good and simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing is that it does not have ads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
