Hope it would be one the most secure ones

After gather some info on this app, I decided to give it a try instead of always secured signal. Wondering how the calls would sound considering different protocols being used.

Chat

Good

Sent messages won’t sync across devices

Sent messages won’t sync across devices with the same account. No idea why.

It works!

XMPP/Jabber with it without security

Great app, few weird things

The app generally is fantastic to use, the only issue I have is that it doesn’t handle certificate changes very well and you need to manually accept it (which is a Pain for let’s encrypt 3 month refreshes).

Other than that it’s a great app.

Excellent Service

Great. Free. Private. The trifecta.

Amazing app!!

Great xmpp/jabber app. Only complaint is that someone’s notifications aren’t sent until the app is loaded. Please work on the background refresh so notifications always come in when a new message arrives

Nevermind Signal, this is the real deal

Although signal has good encryption technology, it doesn’t have much technology for anonymize yourself behind it like chat secures XXMP + Omemo technology. The encryption algorithms in this app are just as strong if not stronger than Signals, and it DOES not require a phone number like signal. Both are great depending on your use case, but I believe chat secure is better if you want to stay safe from the NSA or from prying eyes. Its great for reporters, high security situations/people, system admins who need to protect their assets or identities from hackers or just anyone in general who wants to stay safer and more anonymous on the internet. In a day where mass surveillance is a real thing, this app is important for privacy of good honest people. This app is simple to use, very stable, and developed by well respected developers. It is not full of features, like telegram, but that is because it’s focus is on security and anonymity. Less code=less flaws. So if that’s what you are looking for, go ahead and ditch the signal app, and the spy driven wikr app, and the crap security telegram app, and start using this well developed, hardened chat app that implements algorithms and technologies much older and more refined/tested than the signal app. Thanks for chat secure!

Some pesky bugs, missing features

Hi Chris,
I like the program, although
1) group notification switch does not make a change (at least in omemo mode);
2) turning off/on trusted keys switch most times does not click, perhaps too much on side on iPhone SE 2016;
3) sometimes keyboard is on, but scroll is below, going to settings and back works until another chat open or kill program to unbug;
4) no image, video, audio saving, might be implemented as hold to share file (iOS style).

I like the software, 3/5 to make it better. Best wishes.
