| 2025-01-22 |  | | WHAT THE HELLO IS WRONG WITH YOU!? The new update brings new like/dislike icons. That are not clearly visible now! Before thy where green and Orange NOW they are Unrecognizable blend. AND they take waaay more space now and the chat list ist longer Don't update to the now version CHANCE THE APPEARANCE! |
| 2024-12-20 |  | | Awesome 😎. Keep making it more secured. Please lock the application immediately once a user leaves the application to make it more secured just like What's App does instead of minimum time of 30 seconds as for now. |
| 2024-11-30 |  | | Why was the option to choose the LED color for notifications removed in the last update :-(. That was the only way to tell between notifications from different messengers without having to turn the smartphone screen on... |
| 2024-11-25 |  | | One of the best and most secure 21st messaging app. I'm torn between this and Signal. They seemed to have cured the previous unreliable voice and video calling problems. |
| 2024-11-24 |  | | Great security and privacy. No need to share any personal data. Sometimes connectivity is a bit flaky, and calls hardly work ever... And now (2024-11) the notification LED stopped working for Threema. Can't configure it anymore, and it doesn't flash upon new messages. When in silent mode, this makes Threema a bit pointless to use. Non read status for group messages. |
| 2024-11-13 |  | | Safest app- just be sure to make a backup! My friend has lots of issues with the current iOS version when sending audios,they often don't work. Hope that will soon be better |
| 2024-11-13 |  | | Threema is okay for direct messaging. They update the app occasionally which is good. But consider these: There is no "online" or "last seen" marker. Groups do not have read reciepts and typing markers. Links do not embed, not even for YouTube or GIFs. |
| 2024-11-05 |  | | Since the Sept 2024 update the app crashes more and more while writing a text (and yes. Text is then lost!) And suddenly switches to the overview page. It used to be very reliable/stable, but has got to a point where we are considering using another chat app. I really hope the developers are fixing this before we are forced to move elsewhere... |
| 2024-11-02 |  | | I used to be totally convinced by this app but it's more and more loosing its advantages. E.g. the hassle to operate it on more than one device was acceptable as a workaround a few years ago but is starting to get ridiculous. When will there finally be a proper multi-device solution? |
| 2024-11-01 |  | | Pretty cool application for encrypted messages, security is important to me but Threema is missing out on a huge opportunity to compartmentalize an SMS platform and offer the best of both worlds. I know the intention is to not cause confusion, but there are ways to mitigate that from a GUI perspective to differentiate the two services and it's disappointing to see such an expensive application that is missing out on that opportunity. |
