it's amazing, i use it to text and call with my friend who has no phone number, and it genuinely is secure, but the only reason why I'm not giving it another star is because the app itself is pretty limited, you can't edit messages, you can't sign in back into ur account if that account was on a phone that doesn't work or is really bad, and you can't add a bio & there's a lot more things ur stripped of, but still, it's a very secure app and is really good with texting or calling friends!

As a first-time user, I think the platform needs a few improvements. The PC chat should have a minimize/close chat on pc when click (Esc), option like WhatsApp, telegram instead of conversation being exposed when leaving pc on, also usernames should be customizable instead of long ID digits, and message delivery needs to be faster. The calling feature also needs fixing, as call notifications can continue ringing even after the other caller has ended the call. This are my review cmt about app.

Sincerely one of the best tools on the internet. Def the best telecommunication app. Compact, quick, clean UI. Free communication with no personal info, no login account? It seems too good to be true. Not many free apps have 0 downsides or baggage. Donate to Session, folks. Even if it's a $1. This tech deserves support.
