Threema. The Secure Messenger App Reviews

I love great security! I love Threema’s commitment to a very secure experience! My only bummer is that here in the USA, I rarely run in to anyone that has heard of Threema and even fewer who use it. Most everyone I know of uses Apple Messages and are so committed to that service.

This app is awesome. Like seriously thank you to whoever made it I think I have been using it for two years. Good job to whoever made it.

I wish the desktop app didn’t require the iPhone to be open and in the Threema app just to use it. Major strain on my battery. Signal and Session don’t require that. Mac Desktop app also needs dark mode like yesterday. Update 2023/09/06: Thanks for the info about the beta. That addresses my issues, and I’ve updated my rating to 5 stars.

Re review here… I understand you need to update apps to keep them relevant. I’ve had this app for years, but I will say all these new updates are making it far more complicated and far harder to navigate than it needs to be. It also is taking far more time to load with every new update. So, In my opinion, which means nothing, I think it was better before all these latest updates.

I'm very happy with the threema app which I use to keep up with family members. My only disappointment is that I cannot join in on the group chats using an iPhone. Is there a projected date for adding capability for group chat with iPhone?

For just about anything I recommend this app to the fullest and was worth every penny. However I wish that when I made a group chat with friends I could choose who mod/admins the group-chat. Other than that perfect app

Message deletion for all parties as well as timed deletion options like signal. Also the desktop app is mostly useless because it requires your phone to be unlocked and the app open on the phone while using on your PC. Perhaps the devs can make some enhancements and make the app better.

Security, privacy, anonymity, what more could you want? The answer is more people using this app.

We need to be able to delete messages from all devices similar to the app session. I’ve been sending all my friends $5 to convince them to join this app, I know it’s not much but I’ve bought about 8 accounts for people and that’s my only major complaint and why I still prefer session. If you can fix this I will be using this exclusively as will many people following me to the app.

For added security I would recommend being unable to screenshot messages like Confide. I love Threema. Keep up the great work.

For example: you can’t listen to a voice message and type a reply while still listening. Because it opens a little window where it plays the voice message. This is not the case with the android version. Why is the ios version so annoying? Also, why don’t I get a notifications that a message wasn’t sent? Why do I have to leave the chat open until everything has sent? Which is also pretty annoying.

Here’s the thing: Auto delete might not be a 100% reliable (/ safe) feature, but not being able to delete messages is certainly 100% unsafe. Inform your users by a disclaimer and go on with it, not hide behind this silly pretense and cause negative reviews by people that either think they know better or are frustrated about messages that are forever saved on someone else’s phone. Just saw your app featured on The Terminal List, so much potential stopped short.

Other than not having gifs to send it’s overall a well designed app.

I really wish I could ❤️ a message. It’s important to me and my boyfriend.

Really needs more reactions options. The ability to “like” or HEART a message would be greatly appreciated. This feature is used by empaths on other platforms extensively. A thumbs up doesn’t cut it.

The last few updates have made it even better. Please add stickers though. It’s the only feature I and my family still want from WhatsApp. Thank you

It does have a better feel after the newest update. Please consider adding stickers, a call log outside the chat window, and making it more responsive and smooth (the new update accomplished that for sure!).

Can you please give us the option to change the apps icon?

Please consider adding stickers to the app as it is the only feature I miss from WhatsApp.

I love the app and the idea of the ID and no contact & email sync but it needs a few features. 1. Expiring photo option (view once or forever). 2. Messages time duration (1hr, 1 day, 1 week etc). Other than those, it’s all good.

It has everything you want and more. And it’s open source. This is the gold standard.

Everyone should buy this to get better privacy.

You should add “Delete For Everyone” feature, or make timing feature at leas.

I like threema because it is fundamentally secure and the model makes sense to me. I'm hoping for more features like being able to react with emojis instead of "agree/disagree". But other than that it's great

you should incorporate AI generated qr codes to every call and message for full anonimity👌✌️ i would pay 5 to 10 dollars if that was incorporated you could dominate britan,germany and china. maybe AI random generated IP address as well?

Doesn’t require number ✅ Doesn’t require email ✅ Most secure chat service ✅ Fully encrypted end to end ✅ Opensource code ❤️ Encrypted video and voice chat 🥰

Web app needs serious work though.

Please add stickers to Threema. It’s the only feature I miss when compared to other less secure and private apps! Thank you for your commitment to privacy and security.

None of the others can compare with Threema’s design and security.

I love Threema. High security messanger app. And Threema sound is very original!

I love the app very much. Privacy rules. But audio and video calls are so difficult. Call drops again and again. Have been sending those anonymous reports every time the call drops but hasn’t been fixed yet. I hope the devs work on this asap.

Threema is the best app to send messages and Media (pics, videos, etc). The original sound for the notification is music for my ears... l love it! Pick Threema up! Sure you enjoy it.

Nearly perfect, but I hope they can include an option for disappearing messages in the near future, like signal does.

This update made the app not opening unless disabled face detection

Signal and others allow one to have messages over a user-definable age automatically erase from the device. Please consider this feature request. It also allows for shrinking the amount of data backed up and helps keep conversations ephemeral.

Can you please add a feature ”replay to a message with a swipe to the right”

I like this messenger for security, privacy and anonymity. One feature i want - message burn timer (like in Signal or Telegram)

when you need security, this is the app to get.

I love this app and love the focus on security. It's recently become one of my favorite apps and I want to convince more people to use it.

The application offers anonymity and security. It does not link to a phone number or email. It uses a separate key.

I am using this app for 6 months now and it is the best ever,, easy,fast,full privacy and i can send anything so fast . Its better than kik which lags a lot specialy on sending pictures.

If there is a web app for Mac this would get a lot better, and compete with telegram.

Arabic & Hebrew language support please & Thanks for the Voice calls

This is a very helpful app and I'm very glad it exists.

Boggles my mind that the Android version is more fully featured than the iOS version. Simply unacceptable. Also, iOS users shouldn’t be forced to use Safari when they want to use Threema Web. Not all of us also own a Mac.
