Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.

Crisp reviews

Replies text cannot be selected, only copied to the buffer, which means you can't use Google translate right in the app itself. I'm not interested in switching between two apps all the time!! There's no option to rate limit notifications: some customers with ADHD make my blood boil by sending messages every 15 seconds. Overall notifications setup is horrible. Either you get swamped with all of them, or not receive any. Also the app crashes every60min. App data is growing like crazy.No fixes ever

For some reason, they have stopped updating the official App for Android for over a month now. It sort of works, but it is also riddled with bugs and painful to use. The official version has stopped being updated in favor of the Beta branch, which is somehow even worse than the official version. It crashes 8/10 times when you try to open a chat, it's missing various crucial functions that the app is absolutely unusable without.

I think there are some bugs in the app because I don't get notifications for messages or when someone is on my site. Please fix ASAP thank you.

Briar reviews

Probably the most secure messaging app out of any available, great idea! Unfortunately it will not be a good replacement for more popular messaging apps anytime soon. There is no way to send a video. Pictures are possible, but only in a chat with one other person and they get massively compressed. Pretty crazy in 2022. I love the idea of my messages not being routed through a central server, but it's not ready to replace my messaging app of choice. I'll check back in a few years.

I would like to see a pop-up chat head. If I'm not looking at the screen I will miss the flash notification across the top. I have missed a reply for hours. I like adding the contact without using my phone number. I was using TextNow and Text free but the constant ads drove me crazy! I think this is a good app.

This is probably one of the best messaging apps ever. I didn't even know a messaging app ever existed without using data . I installed this app into two phones and turned off Wi-Fi off for both of them and only left Bluetooth on. The app worked perfectly and no delayed text messages. I never knew that text messaging apps existed without ever having to use data or a Wi-Fi connection. I'm glad this technology exists because this would be very good in an emergency situations. Love this technology.
