1. "The Snappening" was due to a breach of a third party service with no actual ties to Snapchat. This is like saying Bitcoin is insecure because of Mt. Gox's breach(es).
2. Most apps have documented or undocumented APIs. Writing a client to consume them does not indicate insecurity. It's only a security issue if the undocumented API exposes something that the company did not actually intend to expose (which, to be fair, is fairly common).
I have serious doubts about Snapchat's security due to the username <-> phone number leak discovered by GibsonSec, but the other things you listed say nothing of their security posture.
