What do you like best about Signal?

First, I love that I can use this and feel pretty secure about my messages. I know it's not perfect, but it beats anything from Meta.

Second, I love that I can run a support node so that people can use the app in a sort of decentralized fashion.

And I enjoy being able to send voice, video, and pictures to my friends and family . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

The thing I like least is also why it's positive. When I upgrade my phone, I lose all the previous message history. Not that I really need it, but my notes to myself I wish would be sticky forever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Easy, private messaging app that works on all my devices and gives me a sense of security that someone isn't reading my messages or listening to what I say and serving me ads based on that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
