Threema. The Secure Messenger

What happened??? This used to be a great little app but since the update, it’s just been completely frozen. I can open the app but that’s about it. When I tap on anything (chats, profile etc) nothing happens. I REALLY need to contact someone on this app asap but it won’t let me do anything 🤷🏼‍♀️

i have been trying to access a very active group chat and every time i open the app i get more messages loading in, but can’t actually enter the chat. works fine if it does open, but as for now can’t access anything.

I like the app but the storage management is broken. I’ve deleted all messages and media but the app still used a 4.64GB of storage for data. Please fix this.

Absolutely love this app, using for years now. After latest update, time next to read icon is not when the message was read, but when it was sent, would be great to get it back as it was, so it’s clear when recipient actually saw message. The other thing is, would be good to have more options on reacting to message or media, not only “like” or “dislike”. Adding some emojis would do a big difference. Overall 10/10.

Threema is an unbearably poor messenger service that merely survives on the back of the reputation of its E2E quality and open source backend, but the truth is none of this matters if the actual app services are so incredibly poor. The servers are slow and lack capacity, and the encryption is not even close to what others can do, meaning a voice call will always require peak connection of both devices, meaning the app will probably only send 2 out of the 5 photos you want to send first try and also forget the caption, meaning don’t even think about a video call. Furthermore, the owners can probably not remember the last time they’ve invested in app features, meaning the app will not be remotely close to the messaging features (polling, questions, reactions, sharing locations, interactions with other apps) of competitor apps. Meaning the app will have issues with your Bluetooth devices and cause other synchronisation issues. Meaning it’s a sad excuse of a WhatsApp competitor and I could have gotten half a coffee for my money.

I love the encryption settings on Threema which is the main reason I've been using it alongside WhatsApp (difficult to get around) for years. But also for years it's not running well on my iPhones or those around me - it crashes and freezers frequently and stutters along quite often. It also doesn't allow for group video call on iPhones which is a shame. Hopefully and given the number of iPhone users out there this can be improved over time.

Simple as the title says. Without burn messages, only takes the pigs to grip you and you’re done for. Baffles me how something so simple can’t be implemented! App is useless without it

Messaging is OK, probably secure, but calls get stuck at initialisation 80-90% of the time.

Not bad but still lacks what are these days basic functions. Please add the ability to make admins on groups, and timed messages on chats! Features which both Signal and WhatsApp have and make total sense. Also more reactions than thumbs up and down for individual messages would be a nice to have. Keep up the great work!

I like threema a lot and would give probably 5 stars but can’t as on private chat freezes then need to be completely restarted app. PLEASE FIX IT
