User Reviews

BrightChat is praised for strong security, privacy, ease of use, and active development. However, multiple users report activation problems, crashes especially on certain Android versions, difficulty adding contacts, and poor video call support. Some find frequent running notifications annoying. Overall, it is a trustworthy secure messaging app but needs improvements in stability, onboarding, and multimedia features.

Pros

Highly secure and privacy-focused messaging with no spying on chats.
Easy and simple to use with fast information sharing.
Reliable and trustworthy for secure communication.
Active development with ongoing improvements and feature enhancements.
Convenient mobile to desktop integration.

Cons

Activation and login issues common, including not receiving SMS authentication code and app freezing after activation code entry.
Compatibility problems with certain Android versions causing crashes and inability to log in.
Limited user guidance on adding contacts and app features leading to user confusion.
Poor or no video call functionality and issues with media sending.
Frequent app notifications stating "App is running" that users find intrusive.

Recent reviews

The only communication app you will ever need. 100% secure. Been using for cca 5 years, before was called differently.

What is the encryption algorithm? It is NOT open source. Per their terms of service, you are not allowed to reverse engineer their software, as it is proprietary. Never trust encryption algorithm that isn't open source!! Also the developer based in 🇨🇳 China. Hmmm...
