Nevermind Signal, this is the real deal
Although signal has good encryption technology, it doesn’t have much technology for anonymize yourself behind it like chat secures XXMP + Omemo technology. The encryption algorithms in this app are just as strong if not stronger than Signals, and it DOES not require a phone number like signal. Both are great depending on your use case, but I believe chat secure is better if you want to stay safe from the NSA or from prying eyes. Its great for reporters, high security situations/people, system admins who need to protect their assets or identities from hackers or just anyone in general who wants to stay safer and more anonymous on the internet. In a day where mass surveillance is a real thing, this app is important for privacy of good honest people. This app is simple to use, very stable, and developed by well respected developers. It is not full of features, like telegram, but that is because it’s focus is on security and anonymity. Less code=less flaws. So if that’s what you are looking for, go ahead and ditch the signal app, and the spy driven wikr app, and the crap security telegram app, and start using this well developed, hardened chat app that implements algorithms and technologies much older and more refined/tested than the signal app. Thanks for chat secure!

Sounds Great!
Unfortunately I’m not really much of an advanced tech in any ay shape or form and find a lot of advanced tech mumbo-jumbo painfully confusing even though I find many types of advanced technology somewhat interesting as well as I usually have or try to use it the best and most up to date stuff when I can regardless of if I even know what I’m doing! Lol! With that being said, when I don’t necessarily understand something all that well I try to at least learn where or what the reputable resources are and The Tor Project is one regarding privacy/security so the fact that they support ChatSecure and list it on their site with direct links to download it means it should be pretty good for secure chatting purposes so once I begin getting more familiar with it I can add more about it!

Amazing app!!
Great xmpp/jabber app. Only complaint is that someone’s notifications aren’t sent until the app is loaded. Please work on the background refresh so notifications always come in when a new message arrives
