Second thing is that the app doesn’t seem to have a delete contact or block contact option so I can’t remove my ex friends and stuff. Everything is so good and nice but I have one request please atoeast try to fix these things and make skred more simple as I find it hard trying to find specific buttons and stuff <3 ### 4/5 — Как удалить контакт собеседника *2025-11-14* Приложение вроде не плохое , только не понятно как удалить собеседника или добавить в черный список ### 4/5 — Ok no *2025-11-11, version 21.2* I think it is veryyyy good but soooo laggy ### 2/5 — Liste de diffusion *2025-11-04, version 20.8* Bonjour, j’aime bien cette appli, toutefois il me manque un élément essentiel ! Une liste de diffusion! Elle me permettrait de communiquer mon message à tous mes contacts ET que les réponses de certains ne viennent pas polluer la tranquillité des autres. Est-ce en projet? Merci ### 3/5 — Call for free *2025-10-25, version 20.8* We need to call for free like why do we need to pay please fix problem ### 4/5 — Lagging internet messages 🌊☀️⛱️ *2025-10-24, version 20.8* So my problem is that when I send a message the message wouldn’t fully send in time even tho I have AMAZING 🤩 internet so I am counting on you guys to please please change this error and make SKRED a better community for all your company can benefit a better rating if u could change this error in your next update THANK YOU I HOPE YOUR READING THIS 🌊⛱️☀️🌅 ### 3/5 — Please read this *2025-10-05, version 20.8* I was calling my best friend and I closed the cal but I wanted to call her again I wanted to enter the app but it said error 17 ### 4/5 — I love the app *2025-10-04, version 20.8* I love the app. It was the app I‘v been finding. I found it. I wrote it four out of five because we couldn’t. call more than one people. ### 2/5 — Проблема отправки сообщений *2025-09-30* Не отправляются сообщения, даже когда включён vpn и значок показывает secure activated. Сообщения просто висят с серой галочкой. Использую разные рабочие vpn - не помогает. **Developer response:** Hi, you and your contact must have enabled notifications and background data usage in order to let the app to sync when you are both online but not with the app on the foreground. ### 2/5 — علق علي ما طاع يفتح يقول في مشكله كود ١٧ ما اعرف ليش لوسمحتوا عدلوا المشكله بسرعه *2025-08-25, version 20.6* 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 دانة: ### 4/5 — Stickers *2025-08-10* Только установил и пока не понял.. но работает и на Mac и на iphone xr… но очень жирный Минус- совсем нет стикеров… или они где то спрятались? Добавьте please если можно… ### 3/5 — It’s honestly bad *2025-08-03, version 20.5* With all the bugs and stuff I don’t like it lol But also I can’t send a message to one of my friends but the rest i can it’s so annoying and bad I do NOT recommend that app ### 4/5 — Cute *2025-07-16, version 20.4* I was looking for a European alternative to chat and found this app. It's a lil clunky; not all motions are really fluid (yet!) but I really like this app. I love the customizability of profile(s) and the way that all major features are free to use. With a few tweaks and updates, this could be an even greater app! ### 5/5 — مريم بنت سعيد الكعبي كعبيه وافتخر اماراتيه وافتخر *2025-04-26, version 18.4* المهم التطبيق زين وحلو بس لا تحطو صوركم الشخصيه عادي يستوي هكر بس ما استوالي فا سمعو مني ولا تسمعو من حد ثاني ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fix *2025-12-11* Why is it hard for me add new friends that I referred skred app too she send me the link but I can’t add her what’s going ### 1/5 — Не работает *2025-06-27* Не хочет создавать аккаунт,просто бесконечно грузит и всё **Developer response:** Извините, но некоторые российские операторы блокируют Skred, и это полностью вне нашего контроля. Вы должны иметь возможность использовать VPN. ### 1/5 — Pas convaincu *2025-04-25, version 18.4* J’ai un doute sur la crédibilité de confidentialité de Skred pour moi rien n’est sécurisé ni crypté car c’est français (UE = DICTOCRATIE ) Pourquoi avoir séquestré le patron de télégramme en France sur un motif tordu? Et pas celui de Skred ? À mon avis SKRED c’est l’appli espion gouvernemental comme WhatsApp = NSA D’ailleurs tout les produits Google Je pars du principe que en Europe il n’y a ni liberté ni démocratie ni droit de l’homme S’était Juste un mensonge que l’empire du mensonge ( L’occident) à servi au monde pendant longtemps avant de se faire rattraper par la vérité et l’éveille de consciences des peuples ### 1/5 — I need more transparency about the operation of this app. *2025-03-19, version 18.2* If we compare Signal and Skred based on technical security criteria and privacy policies, Signal is the more secure option for several key reasons: 1. Encryption and Security Technology • Signal uses its own end-to-end encryption protocol (Signal Protocol), which has been audited and verified by security experts. This protocol is also used by WhatsApp and Messenger for their encrypted modes. • Skred also claims to offer end-to-end encryption, but there are no public independent audits to confirm its security. It does not provide clear technical details about its encryption algorithm. 2. Transparency and Open Source • Signal is open-source, meaning anyone can analyze its code to verify the absence of vulnerabilities or hidden backdoors. • Skred is not open-source, meaning its security cannot be independently verified despite the company’s claims. 3. Data Storage • Signal does not store any messages or metadata on its servers. The only data it retains is the phone number (for verification), but not message contents. • Skred claims not to use centralized servers and that data is stored only on the user’s device. However, without independent audits, this remains unverified. 4. Audits and Trustworthiness • Signal has undergone multiple independent audits from security experts, proving its reliability. • Skred has no known independent security audits. 5. Adoption and Expert Recommendations • Signal is used by organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and journalists worldwide for secure communication. The FBI has confirmed it can obtain very little information from Signal. • Skred is less well-known and lacks endorsements from major security organizations. Conclusion Considering all these facts, Signal is objectively the more secure choice because: ✅ It uses a verified encryption protocol. ✅ It has open-source code and independent audits. ✅ It does not store metadata or messages on servers. ✅ It is trusted by leading security organizations. Skred may be a good option for anonymity (since it doesn’t require a phone number), but its lack of transparency and independent audits makes it a less secure choice compared to Signal. If security is your top priority, Signal is the better option. ### 1/5 — I am sarah i have a problem *2024-06-23, version 15.3* Peace be upon you, I am Sarah. I have a problem with this incident. It is that every day I send something, it does not send it and it deletes the conversations in its soul. I mean, I was talking to my friend, then I went away for a while and came back to find that the conversation had been deleted and her account was no longer with me. I tried to search for it, but I could not find it. ### 1/5 — ! *2024-04-26* After the update there was a constant problem with the microphone! you need to call back several times so that the second subscriber can start to hear you! **Developer response:** Hi, do you still have this issue? Is it on group call or one-to-one? ### 1/5 — delays in China *2023-12-06, version 11.6* If you’re in China you will have big delays in getting messages. Sometimes it takes a day or two. Get Kedr which sounds almost the same but it’s better. ### 1/5 — twinme와 같은 앱으로 보입니다. *2023-06-13, version 8.2* 3년전에 앱을 잠깐 써본적이 있는데, 그때는 메세지 발신수신쪽 자체에 문제가 있어서, 못쓰고 아마 바로 지운거 같고. 지금은 버전이 많이 업이 되었네요. 찾아보니 twinme라는 회사와 합병이 되어 기술공유가 이루어진거 같습니다. 특이하게도 두 앱의 화면과 방식이 완벽하게 동일합니다. 자동삭제 기능이 있어서 프라이버시쪽에 유용하지만, twinme와 마찬가지로, 자동삭제 기능을 켜면, 메세지를 받을때 발신자와 메세지 내용이 표시가 안되고요. 그게 아주 크게 불편합니다. 복사도 안되는거 같고요. ### 1/5 — I can’t sign up *2022-10-30, version 4.2* Help ### 1/5 — Became worst before the update *2022-08-24* Well i’ve used thos app cor almost 1 month and half Then I can’t make no calls or nothing It just rings in my ears and the receiver wont be able to receive even on call never … Why is that ? :- Yes the only thing i like about this app is that no one can add you by your phone number even tho they can see that you have this app But still your gonna have to send them the link in order for them to call you or even text you ,this app to me os number one private and keeps your privacy **Developer response:** Hi, as replied by email, it's not a bug of this update... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pls *2026-06-22* If it was an account, then if we delete the app, everything we added will be deleted. ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2026-06-12* Was looking for an "Open Source" P2P EU-based private messenger. Didn't expect this to be so great! Slick app. Fast. Mostly intuitive. Loads of useful features. Great video calling, including internationally. Lots of useful privacy-centered features. French engineering FTW! (I'm confused about the link to Twin.me and the icon for this app is really unattractive) ### 5/5 — Great! But! *2026-04-19* Overall SKRED is a great app love everything except four things when I exit out of the call there should be a box of the call on your screen. Music sharing should be standard though i think it’s exceptional Group calls should definitely be free Screen sharing should be a thing Overall I love this app and the privacy!!! ### 5/5 — Incroyable *2025-12-14, version 21.6* Je discute avec mes amis autant que je veux juste les appels de groupe c’est pas gratuit et ça ce n’est pas ouf mais sinon j’aimerais que vous rajouter les Story comme sur Snap Instagram et tout merci j’ai adoré votre rappel, je vous le conseille fortement ### 5/5 — Skred *2025-12-08, version 21.6* So my cousin told me about this app and I downloaded it on my iPad since my phone has low storage and this really helped me connect with her since she lives far from me so I give this app 5 stars ### 5/5 — GREAT! *2025-12-07* This app is so good, it’s great to call others ### 5/5 — Amazing Shred🍁🍵🥨 *2025-11-09, version 21.2* This app really helps me talk with my friends and I really enjoyed it and thank you so much. It’s the best app ever if you really didn’t do this app, no one could talk to anyone so you’re the best app to do and you hope one day that you can get so many views :)🍁🍪🍵 ### 5/5 — Goog *2025-10-14, version 20.8* Nice and all new botim I’m for kids ### 5/5 — Nice but happened *2025-08-27, version 20.6* Something keeps happening and I have to delete the app then add it ### 5/5 — CALL *2025-07-20, version 20.5* CALL AND SEND TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
