What do you like best about Signal?

Signal-This is a simple messenger. With Signal, you can exchange messages and make calls with subscribers from your phone book. All information is encrypted and even the creators of the application can not access it. To prove this, the application has a fully open code. Signal is attached to the phone number, and works in all countries. It is possible to send less important correspondence to the archive, where they will be stored until the moment you need it. Developers promise the absence of advertising and any ways of monetization in the future Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

In my opinion this is an excellent messenger and the most important thing is safe. I did not find any shortcomings. I like very much and advise everyone! Security and confidentiality above all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Signal:

However, many people looking for similar messengers with complex protection algorithms, self-destructing messages and encrypted calls. The Signal application is for this purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

At work I correspond with employees and we solve small working problems, I also inform about events, meetings. I conduct video conferences, invite for interviews Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Signal?

I like how simple the interface is. It is basically like messenger without the distractions of facebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

I think it would be nice to categorize conversations. Having a tab where we could store all our attachments would be a plus as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Signal:

This is a great program to use if you are one to forget things. Using it as a conversation app will help you to save those ideas that your team come up with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Saved conversation with coworkers. We have workers outside of our offices that are sometimes lost to what we are doing. Signal allows those workers to feel included and connected. That is probably the biggest thing that signal helps us with, the connection with workers outside of the office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Given that we discuss student information, we cannot do this via email or text because of privacy laws. Signal lets us do this without worry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Signal?

If you’re like me, you take your privacy very seriously. I don’t trust big messaging app platforms like iMessage, Allo, Skype, or WhatsApp (Facebook) or Messanger (also Facebook!). Signal is a good alternative and simply does everything I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

The user interface could be a bit more seamless with regular messaging apps like that of iMessage. Otherwise I love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Signal:

Honestly, just get it while it’s still free. This app should charge people to use it as it’s really all in 1 messaging, video, secure, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I’m able to send confidential info pertaining to my business securely and have the peace of mind nothing bad will happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
