I played with this application with a friend and it is horrific, don't waste your time. You inexplicably can't communicate between the different platforms without having isolated accounts on each one. The very first thing it does as an "encrypted" "private" communication system is call home over plaintext HTTP with a UUID. https://i.imgur.com/HPadlpr.png https://i.imgur.com/HPadlpr.png Total failure right off the bat.
- lucidstack 11y agoA fantastic and widely recognised alternative is Signal for iOS, (and its counterpart for Android, TextSecure), created by Open Whisper Systems. People like Edward Snowden have been praising it. iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/signal-private-messenger/id874139669?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/signal-private-messenger/id8...

- steckerbrett 11y ago> Signal uses your existing phone number and address book. Failure, why restrict your users to their phone numbers?
- brianclements 11y agoWhatsApp does this too. I find it very inconvenient since I have many devices. I think it's not for security as much as theft/identity. It's a lazy way of forcing what is essentially 2fa on a user. Just give me real 2fa and let me use all my devices please.
