“One big to rule them all. One bug that they refuse to fix. Just one freaking bug, but they’re really good at asking for donations. Swipe right on a message to get its details and then swipe back to go to the chat, and the whole chat is messed up. No input field anymore and all the messages are on top of each other. You have to exit the chat and go back in to fix it. I’ve even sent them a log with screenshots and they just brushed it off.”
“Scams happen here. Was asked to download signal as a way to get off Facebook messaging. I highly recommend not downloading this app if you care about your actual privacy and how much money you have. Lots of people are out there trying to steal it, and this app allows for their privacy to be hidden.”
“didn’t allow me to choose privacy options.. didn’t allow me to choose privacy options when starting, alerted contacts i didn’t want about the username, promptly deleted the app and won’t use it again.”
“Decent. Requesting fixes to the following: - Phone calls often never go through / are very buggy. Will get stuck “Connecting”. - Favorite / pin chats to top. I got to many chats. We need a way to organize them If those two things are fixed, this is a 5 star app.”
“Stop asking for my contacts. Also bugs.. “Privacy minded” yet won’t stop asking for my contacts. What do you need my contacts for huh? Why are you so insistent on me handing over my contacts huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huuuuuuuuuuuuuh? Why do you keep asking huh? I said no. Do you know what “no” means? It means no for now and no forever. New update is buggy and makes the app cumbersome to use. Stop pushing UI updates if you aren't going to bug test them. Gets worse and more broken with every update. Can't edit messages without the app freezing now? Why?”
“Config UI inconsistent and maddening. Every update (Signal or iOS) something breaks and I don’t get or can’t hear notifications. Sound picker dialog has two gray buttons: one X, one checkmark. The gray checkmark does nothing, but the gray X cancels the screen and closes the dialog. It turns out you can’t use the checkmark unless you choose a DIFFERENT SOUND. Then it turns blue. Did every HMI school in the world close? Checkbox lists where you can choose only one. Radio button lists where you can choose many. Does anyone even remember why they are called radio buttons? So Frustrated.”
“Fix this bug and get back your 5 starts. There is this bug that has been sitting in this app for a very long time. I’ve reported it and attached a log and screenshots and they just ignored it. Fix it, please. You click the details of the message you send to see who has seen it and who hasn’t of a group, or whether or not it was delivered, then you swipe back to the main messaging interface and the input field is gone and you can’t type anything anymore. You’d have to exit to the main messages page then re-enter that chat again to get the text field back. Just ridiculous”
“Stop asking to create a PIN!. Was a great app but recently it is asking multiple times a day to create a PIN. I don’t want one, don’t need one, and will not make one. Stop asking!”
“Update ruined sharing pictures!. I’ve loved Signal, but not after the upgrade the app forced me to get yesterday. Since the upgrade, I can’t choose the pictures that are shared in the app. Nothing happens when I tap the pictures, they just stay small in the thread!!. There’s an option list that pops up if I press and hold a picture, but it doesn’t have an option to open the picture, so this means that I can’t enlarge and view pictures in the app. And pictures that are sent in a bundle, you have to save first, before accessing and seeing them!! This feature brought the app down for me…. Why is this feature changed??? That’s not an upgrade, it’s a downgrade!”
“Problem. I have tried to upload a PDF 3 different times and after I tap the send arrow, it disappears. I looked through your “Help” and “Community” and there is no answer.”
