My mom wasn't able to use an English version, add Arabic please... ### 5/5 — Awesome messenger *2023-01-24, version 1.5.3* A couple of touches are missing, such as, edit your sent message within a timer, that would be awesome. Another one is to be able to slide right/left rather than tap and select would be much easier. ### 5/5 — One thing confused *2023-01-23, version 1.5.3* Giving four stars. Everything is good but there is no search for the text option to search through chat history on the phone version. I'm not sure if this is the result of the decentralized product structure. **Developer response:** Thanks for your query. You're right, this is a result of decentralization. WireMin, a decentralized messaging app, stores encrypted messages locally on a user's device for privacy and security. This makes a search feature resource-intensive or dependent on a central server, hence it's typically absent to maintain privacy and performance. Hope this clarifies. Best Regards, WireMin Support Team ### 5/5 — The Future of Messaging *2023-01-22, version 1.5.3* It is exactly what I envision a message application to be. This is The Future of Messaging, with the ability to protect our communications and data from being snooped on. **Developer response:** We're thrilled to hear you value our commitment to privacy! At WireMin, we understand how important it is to secure our users' data. Your trust is greatly appreciated. Best Regards, WireMin Support Team ### 5/5 — More Emojis Pls!!! I *2023-01-21, version 1.5.3* It works and I like it!! It would be better if it could add more emojis! Please consider in upcoming updates, team! ### 5/5 — Enjoy using it *2023-01-20, version 1.5.3* There are some minor improvements possible but I'm enjoying using it with my family. I hope that in 1-2 years, this app will develop as the best. Cheers 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — One thing missing *2023-01-18, version 1.5.3* SELF DESTRUCTIVE messages are a must. Other than that the app still deserves 5 stars. Other messengers forces you to link phone numbers, in WireMin I am totally anonymous. Self destructive msg plz! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! Your satisfaction is our top priority. We have received your suggestion and will keep improving our app to provide the best user experience. If you have any other suggestions or encounter any issues, please don't hesitate to contact us on WireMin at (https://i.wiremin.com/invite/?g=k43385907552). Best Regards, WireMin Support Team ### 5/5 — Good web2 alterternatives *2022-08-08, version 1.3.1* Needs some work but this is going to replace Web2 social I can already see it. Needs a discovery feature to find random stuff/accounts. Also maybe change the name to something more catchy. It's hard to discover accounts without already knowing them and searching. ### 5/5 — Decentralized social network *2022-08-08, version 1.3.1* By far the most decentralized social network, it's not perfect but the team is making progress towards perfection ### 5/5 — Solid app, could use some improvements *2022-08-05* As far as I know, WireMin has the best security and anonymity implementations amongst other chat messengers. Unfortunately, it has not been perfect for moving from phone to phone though without losing messages. That said, it's been a solid app. I can share big files between my laptop, iPad and phone without missing a beat. **Developer response:** Hey MTDR, we're really glad to hear your feedback! Yes, user privacy and freedom of speech are of the utmost importance at WireMin! Also thanks for pointing out the problem, however, losing messages shouldn't have been a problem. Could you email to baron.swartz01@gmail.com to let us know more about the issue, we are always here to help. Best regards, WireMin Support Team ### 5/5 — Top notch *2022-08-05* Top tier for privacy, but still has some bugs. Sometimes, I won't receive notifications until I open the app. WireMin also seems like to dislike certain types of videos. Sometimes they send very fast, sometimes can be late. **Developer response:** We're really glad to hear your feedback Yawnpoon! At WireMin, user privacy and freedom of speech are of the utmost importance! And we hear your suggestions, the team is working to optimize file/media file transfer and the notification. If you have any suggestions or problems, do not hesitate to email us at baron.swartz01@gmail.com, we are always here to help. Best regards, WireMin Support Team ### 5/5 — Отлично *2022-04-06, version 1.1.0* Отличный мессенджер ### 5/5 — Privacy & Security Means a lot *2022-01-29, version 1.0.7* So far it s an amazing app-the best private and secure IM I’ve ever used. The user interface is simple. Easy to use and register. No central server or data collection- trustworthy. Several things to improve: 1. Voice and video calls 2. Bigger DM group 3. An official Tech discussed group ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 4/5 — I hope to increase the support for callkit and Chinese. *2024-04-24, version 1.8.5* I hope to increase the support for callkit and Chinese. ### 4/5 — Not to connect in iPhone *2023-09-20, version 1.7.9* It can't be connected in iPhone app. There always shows "connecting to internet...". ### 4/5 — Voice call service is not working *2023-08-31, version 1.7.8* Just displayed Ringing and then dropped ### 4/5 — CANT LOG IN DESKTOP *2023-07-04, version 1.7.3* i can't use wiremin camera scan desktop version to log in is that something wrong? ### 5/5 — разработчики идут на контакт *2025-06-12, version 1.9.8* Сеть существует за счет пользователей, никакой коммерческой подоплёки Сама идея WireMin выглядит мило и привлекательно. ### 5/5 — разработчики идут на контакт *2025-06-12* Сеть существует за счет пользователей, никакой коммерческой подоплёки Сама идея WireMin выглядит мило и привлекательно. ### 5/5 — Does what it promises *2025-06-12, version 1.9.8* So far it’s simple and fast. Appreciate the privacy-first model and I can use it without giving out my phone number. ### 5/5 — One of the few places left where you can truly spe *2025-06-12, version 1.9.8* Love the space it creates for open conversation. It’s completely anonymous, which is rare these days. ### 5/5 — MacOS Apple silicon ARM *2024-09-25, version 1.9.0* Support please macOS Apple silicon ARM The version for the Apple chip is needed, not for Intel ### 5/5 — update *2024-09-24, version 1.9.0* hi, can you release update with new interface features? it would be cool, thanks ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Очень крутое приложение *2024-04-21, version 1.8.5* Разработчика респект! Молодцы, аплодирую стоя!!! Развития вам и приложению!!! ### 5/5 — Авансом 5 звёзд *2024-03-31, version 1.8.5* У меня просьба. Думаю я тут не один такой. Если сутки не заходить то вылетает на введения пароля. Можно рассмотреть альтернативу в настройках. Сам замысел понятен. Но вод срочно нужно зайти написать или посмотреть а тут бац и вспоминай свой пароль, а это не очень удобно. Спасибо. P. S. Классное приложение для конфиденциального общения. Так держать. Ждем звонки и видео. ### 5/5 — Лучшее приложение *2023-08-11, version 1.7.6* Спасибо за приложение, интересует вопрос, будут ли видеозвонки? Relay? ### 5/5 — My 1st review *2023-01-26, version 1.5.3* I love it and I'm happy to make new friends and get help and support from the kind-hearted locals when I immigrate to a new country. The WireMin Space members made me stay, I like everything they offered there. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
