Review summary

Wire - Secure Messenger is praised for security and general usefulness but suffers from recurring reliability problems. Users report startup/setup failures and ongoing waiting-for-network bugs that prevent opening the app, along with login and account access issues and frequent server/connectivity problems that delay or block message delivery. Notifications are also inconsistent. While many reviews still cite the app as good and secure, the dominant sentiment is frustration due to persistent reliability bugs across devices and networks, indicating a need for substantial fixes to stability and server handling.

Pros

Cons

Persistent startup/setup issues (waiting for network) preventing opening or use
App won't open / crashes on startup
Login and account access problems (difficulties logging in, account switches, server errors)
Messages fail to deliver or are delayed due to server/connectivity issues
Notifications not working or not syncing reliably
