What do you like best about Signal?

I like that you cannot see the status of the person you are talking to, which makes it more private than Whatsapp. Privacy and security are the two most essential things in this online world for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

I wouldn't say I like it when my messages do not get sent quickly. It sometimes takes a while to receive the notifications or send them; they do not get delivered as soon as Whatsapp. This is something that Signal should fix quickly. The one other thing that I would like to mention is the App's UI, it is not at all eye pleasing, its really simple and could be made better as they go along with the app development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Signal:

If you want to protect your privacy in this online world, I would suggest using Signal as a way to communicate with everyone who is on the same platform. Its enhanced security features really attract me personally toward it. The UI may not be very pleasing to the eyes but I believe that Signal will work hard toward making those changes in the future and we all can have a better experience using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was trying to get away from Whatsapp when I read the messages are not encrypted, and anyone could read them, which is the violation of my privacy, or of any user for that matter. This is why I switched to Signal Private Messenger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Signal?

I love the in-app privacy and security that Signal provides. With the PIN verification, I never have to worry about anyone accessing my messages without my consent.

In-app push notifications motivate you to keep your password updated or to recreate one if it's been a while - encouraging me to take online security measures.

Signal has an intuitive user interface that's quick and easy to learn - while retaining highly customizable functionality for more advanced users.

It's well thought out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

It took a bit of used to switching from my regular messaging app. I also got notified every time a new contact joined Signal which was quite disruptive.

However, the high level of customization within the app meant I could easily update the settings to rectify this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Signal:

If you're looking for improved security and privacy for your messaging app then this is the product for you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have been using Signal for around a year. I haven't had any problems with the app to date.

The benefits include improved security, easy access to new and existing contacts.

I've also been able to customize the interface, notification and functionality precisely according to my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Signal?

I installed Signal to talk to one friend that used it while she was on her computer vs. using her phone. That was the advantage for her, since we both have different types of phones (Android vs Iphone) it was a simpler way to communicate and send files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

It is constantly upgrading and the need to restart it, sometimes more than once a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Communication with a friend. There weren't too many benefits for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
