Great and easy to use

This would be a great app, and it is, when it actually works. Myself, and several other friends have all had the same issue. Signal either won’t notify of a new message, or messages will be sent but not delivered. It also doesn’t ever seem to auto update, it feels like I have to manually update it every few days. It would be a great app, if I could ever rely on it to actually send and receive messages.
