Comments on Element - Secure Messenger for Android

★★★★★ Telegram is no longer safe for hacktivist groups. Hacktivist group members have left telegram and moved to discord. Maybe one day we will make Element the safest place
★★★★★ Needs "search" functions within rooms and threads, and an easier way to find conversation threads, so they don't get lost. I'll have great conversations in the rooms but then cannot easily find the conversation again without scrolling forever.
★★★★★ Element is a secure and open-source messaging app that offers end-to-end encryption for ultimate privacy. With Matrix protocol support, it ensures decentralized and seamless communication across platforms!
★★★★★ Not for most people. Syncing messages takes ages, sometimes fails completely. Group messages are unreliable and calls often does not work at all. The UI also has a lot to wish for, it's nowhere near as polished as WhatsApp or Telegram.
★★☆☆☆ Video chat doesn't work anymore. Literally, every time I try to go in the video chat it crashes
★★☆☆☆ I've been using it for a few years on my hosted setup. This is really buggy, failed to send messages due to network issues?it will have a permanent bar that says sending failed, and you can't delete the message that it failed to send. Voice and video calls would often get stuck on connecting. If it connects, it gets jittery sometimes. I tried investigating if it's a server issue, but the servers seem to work well. Want to look at photos you've sent via other devices? Nope
★★☆☆☆ I've installed this application across a few devices and the experience is the same: bad. It'll randomly lock up. Space switching is a joke and only works when I clear the cache. The overview will often fail to update leaving me to guess which rooms are unread. It's a messaging app. Come on. It really feels like a microcosm of Matrix as a whole. They're pouring all their effort into ElementX (which still lacks basic functionality) while ignoring the problems that plague Element.
