Comments on Signal Private Messenger for Android

★★★★★ Vijay Venkataraman · May 9, 2026
Great app for chat and discussions, very stable.
★★★★★ Tala Heya · May 29, 2026
No issues. Except, I wish it could be used as my main text platform. I think contacts must also have this app in order to communicate 🤔. I'd love 💕 to only text through signal. I love the features, like editing text, bold italic, etc.! Omg l o v e 💖. Cheers.💐
★★★★☆ P G · May 12, 2026
Needs to have features like WhatsApp but maintain the sole of SIGNAL
★★★★☆ Rock Roll (Rocker) · May 15, 2026
Works Decent enough. Nobody but drug dealers knows about using it though. So mine stays unused between knowing them. It's like snack chat. You've got someone special? Boom you're on the app. Otherwise?
★☆☆☆☆ Nathan Aguiar · May 12, 2026
I don't get notifications outside the app, tried everything, turned everything on and to urgent, but no luck. Only using this cause some captain wants something to add to his OER. Will be uninstalled once my terminal leave starts. Edit: reinstalled for a capstone project, this app is as my useless as my capstone group.
★★☆☆☆ Kabyl · May 27, 2026
Signal is great for secure communications, and I have been using this app for years now but there is a new problem with the app for months, there is a delay in sending and receiving messages, the messages are delivered after some minutes, and sometimes it takes hours to deliver even though the internet connection is fast and strong. Please retify this problem as this makes the experience more frustrating and annoying.
