Confide - Private messenger for Negative User Reviews
✓ Another One Bites the DustSubscription model. I recommend Signal instead..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Videos are too shortThis would be way better if you could send videos longer than 30 seconds. Also, you can screenshot the messages sent with iMessage so that’s not too helpful.Version: 10.0.3
✓ UselessBEWARE OF THIS APP. You can’t use the app unless you sign up and make your contacts download and sign up. Then both of you would have to pay 80$/year. I’m making a point to to call out apps that aren’t transparent about their pay to use and limitations ahead of time. It’s a shame they hope to charge people who forget to cancel their 7 day trial in time then charge an obscene yearly rate..Version: 9.3.1
✓ No way to contactAccidental purchase following misleading information - have never used and never meant to purchase, charged over $50 for a year in one whack - and instructions on how to cancel don’t match what is written in FAQ. No way whatsoever to actually contact company, so now I’m stuck with something I’ll never use and don’t need, and can’t even figure out how to not be charged again next year. Indications upon sign up were a reduced rate less than $5 (don’t remember the details - four and change) now I’m charged for a YEAR in one hit. What ever happened to customer service?!?.Version: 9.13.1
✓ Stay Away if you need AnonymityThis app requires an email to set up potentially tying you to all messages ever sent and received from the account. And it doesn’t state anywhere that it’s open source, so it’s likely not. Meaning that there is ZERO GUARANTEE that that don’t keep logs or that account hacking can’t happen. There are better apps out there. Do some homework..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Horrible update, no font size control, cumbersomeHave used Confide for years and liked it very much BEFORE this new update and interface. The double clicking to open messages is slow and the font size is microscopic with NO ability to change view. Definitely will cancel my PLUS version if not fixed. The app developers should be ashamed they didn’t account for individuals with sight impairment of any level..Version: 10.0.2
✓ Screenshot can be taken from iMessageSince you guys do charge the customer for premium feature, I found that it’s not worthy since screenshot can be taken from iMessage. If you cannot provide complete module than please take the widget support for iMessage. This is really not acceptable by what you commit..Version: 6.1
✓ Dooped in to downloadShouldn’t be allowed to stand in for another search I was looking. Intrusive.Version: 8.3.1
✓ Update destroyed the AppCan longer recommend or use this product. The newest update shows all past texts and no longer destroys them. There is now a history like a chat which is literally the opposite of why O paid for a Pro level. How unbelievable stupid or has Confide become just another Gov tool? Ended our sub because of this shocking unwanted new approach to hat was a great confidential way to talk..Version: 10.0.2
✓ Not Actually SecureI have seen no information updating the info lThe TLS layer used for encryption can be turned off in some circumstances. The effect is that “it is theoretically possible that [Confide] could man-in-the-middle attack ourselves. Obviously, we would never do this”. This is a direct quote from Confide’s own spokesperson. Individual messages are not actually given unique encryption, and any hijacking of Confide servers would render end users vulnerable. Needless to say this is also not secure against NSA snooping.Version: 9.4.2
✓ Not fit for purposeDoesn't let you retrieve any messages your sent, it's as much use as an old school pager, you know who's after you but your gonna have to call them to find out why!.Version: 3.4.2
✓ Writing textThe writing text is too small and not adjustable..Version: 10.0.2
✓ CostI like this app. My only issue is the costing for plus when telegram is kinda doing the same thing. 99p a month wouldn’t be so bad I guess as some costs need to be recouped. Also we should be allowed more attachments . The limit is stingy..Version: 9.7.1
✓ Updare ruined it!!!This app is still one of the best. But the update really took a few st this s back.Version: 10.0.3
✓ BuggyBuggy. Just deleted messages as I was reading them..Version: 10.0.3
✓ ConfideIt sucks.Version: 7.0.12
✓ Update .. not pleased ..Poor rating !This new update takes away control from sender .. pre this update .. one could see their message before it was read by the Recipient, and also one could make a screen shot of their own message .. now all of that is gone ! One is not even made knows when the other party reads the message.. The element of secrecy has trumped control by sender ! This makes no sense ! Not enjoying this ap any more!!.Version: 10.0.3
✓ Rip offGot conned into buying this and it cost me $84.Version: 9.4.2
✓ Hopeless appPlain and simple don't count on this app - it rarely sends any mail out..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Smoke & MirrorsOK it has some neat visual tricks up its sleeve but at the end of the day it's a proprietary app that's based around older encryption technology. Still it's a move in the right direction. Self deleting, eyes only messages are the way forward and Confide implements this well. As for encryption and privacy, I'm not so sure. Based on the limited info available about this product it has some huge issues. Bottom line? I removed it..Version: 4.4.3
✓ Too many NotificationsI get spammed by too many notifications from the developer telling me how to use their app..Version: 4.4.2
✓ No thanksI've heard on the great vine that the information you send and receive is stored on a data base at confide hq. Not what I want to hear about this app..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Make it free no subscriptionIf you want the app go high and get famous then don't charge us, the idea is very good but if there is other app doing the same thing but without paying, This will effect this app and it will go down. At least put it with advertisements..Version: 10.0.3
✓ Glitches matterIf you want confidentiality, it matters if the app works. I have a conversation that’s stuck on one message. Won’t delete it when I leave the screen, won’t let me read any further messages the person has sent by clicking the next arrow. Don’t see a way to delete the thread at all. If this person sends another message, I won’t be able to read it because it’s stuck on that one, un-auto-deleted, message..Version: 9.5.1
✓ Poor search engineClumsy to use, near impossible to find random people for chat.Version: 9.13.1
✓ Love the app but after this update…..…. Has left me asking why?? I’m sure the creators are only trying to make a good thing, great. But the latest update that added the option to keep messages, is no bueno. The settings are easy to accidentally keep your messages when you don’t intend to. That’s the reason I love this app & I thought, was its purpose. You read the message & poof…it’s gone. I liked it much better before. Just my 2 cents..Version: 10.0.3
✓ Not screenshot-proof@Doodle jump suggestions Yeah! I took a screenshot..Version: 4.4.2
✓ RecommendedGood app. Could be a bit less pricey in an ideal world. Also - flip screen would be handy..Version: 7.0.11
✓ So far nor goodBefore I usvur app properly I sent a message to a friend who was aware and she could se it was from me:!! Glad I thought of resting first...I'm told it's free bit I guess that means once I pay money then it's privat e.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Signal is freeNot sure why I would use this paid app over Signal.Version: 9.9.0
✓ 2 starsWhy? Collecting to much information of the users such as contact information and much more you should stop falsely spreading false information or false advertising as it clearly states in your privacy terms you do collect a-lot of data in which is not really secure as many have to believe..Version: 9.12.1
✓ WowTo leave a review here is bad enough as it wastes your time with nicknames. The app itself CRAP !!.Version: 3.8
✓ Last update was too badThe last update made the app significantly slow.Version: 10.0.3
✓ Wanted to Like This AppLoved all of the features, but it wouldn’t allow me to enter contacts manually. It wanted to send invites from the email connected to my iOS and I didn’t want clients having my personal email address. It absolutely wouldn’t let me send a message to anyone without trying to get into my contacts. Deleted app and searching for another one that allows me more privacy..Version: 9.4.1
✓ Subscriptions ConAbsolutely no way I agreed to pay and they took the money ! Impossible to get hold of anyone to try and receive a refund.Version: 9.4.2
✓ ConfideCannot delete contacts.Version: 8.3.3
✓ Ok butSeem ok but hate the way it feels the need to text you every time you get a message, leaving a trial of texts saying you have a text from So&so , I still have to delete these to hide the fact I'm messaging another girl from my wife so I just as well be texting her! Doesn't work like whatsap like I'd hoped.Version: 3.1.2
✓ CarefulBeware if you think you’re downloading a free app. The $59 subscription will be billed to your account days later and Apple will be unable to issue a refund since Confide abides by Apples policies. You can avoid being charged if you cancel the auto renewal in your Apple ID subscriptions tab: settings, Apple ID, subscription, Confide. Unlike most subscriptions that tend to offer a prorated refund, Confide, by default, locks you into a year of service. I emailed Confides customer service and was told that Apple handles all refunds. I was hoping to love this app but it’s difficult to convince other recipients to pay to receive messages, especially when they’re at risk of unintentionally signing up for a $59 service that they thought would be free, or at worst, be billed $4 for a month of service. $59 billing surprises can’t be a smart business model..Version: 9.3
✓ SucksSucks.Version: 10.0.3
✓ False security hypeThat gives a completely full sense of security, I'm able to screenshot all conversations. Confide uses open SSL version that dates back to 2014 and has been obsolete for years. Confide employs no cryptographers or security experts. Pure snake oil..Version: 4.4.2
✓ Man whoever uses this is as dumb as trumpNever trust a program that isn't open sourced . This is the worst choice. Search Wire messenger or Signal and don't use this crap if your serious about privacy . This is such a joke it's funny. Almost as much as the president lol.Version: 4.4.5
✓ That’s a great conceptI tried the free subscription and I was kind of bummed out by the fact it notifies me in the regular messages that I have a confidential message coming through the Confide app. I am bummed out because I want to be able to use this app without anybody knowing if they were to come across it on my phone or see it by accident. If there’s a way to notify me without messaging me, that would be awesome I would be back..Version: 10.0.3
✓ You all ruined ConfideThe default messaging should be the way it used to be. The change to having the default as disappearing after 24 hours was a mistake. Furthermore, having the message as concealed to then have to open in a separate dialog box was also a poor move. Confide used to be 5-star..Version: 10.0.3
✓ Good idea but faulty if used within the iMessage appThe reason I am rating this 1 star is because I tested it out within the iMessage app and it doesn’t prevent screen shots for texts or pictures. Within the Confide app itself, it works the way it’s supposed to, but the other person would need to have the app downloaded as well and not everyone is going to do so. So if I want to send a confidential message to someone who doesn’t have this app, and so I choose to use this application via the iMessage app instead, it’s 100% faulty. If this were fixed I’d rate it higher. But for that reason...I’m out. A good alternative to this is the ‘Off the Record’ app which functions properly within the iMessage app as far as sending confidential messages or pictures, self destructs, and prevents screen shots, etc..Version: 9.5.1
✓ If you want to tell something confidentially, trust the person you’re telling...This app was good at the beginning... when I used the app and tested the free message demo, I tried to see if taking a screenshot would work, it didn’t. It showed the fact that you’re not allowed to take screenshots. That part worked good. But when I used it to tell my sister something on iMessage she screenshot it. She then sent me back a message, I screenshot it. DO NOT GET THIS APP..Version: 9.3.2
✓ Terrible changesThe new format is terrible.Version: 10.0.2
✓ Bf00Terrible ..Version: 9.4.1
✓ FeaturesNo ability to block a person.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Not Screenshot ProofI could take a screenshot of a message, this isn't as protected as they make it out to be..Version: 4.2.2
✓ Needs optionsThe idea of burn after Reading is great but time delay options of varying times would be good and so would not having a destroy after reading setting being the only setting even fir the paid version. Encrypted messaging with no recording or screenshot allowed is in need still, but with other flexibilities when desired..Version: 9.13.1
✓ Auto renewal subscriptionA 7 day free trial for a Plus account auto renewals for an ENTIRE year subscription costing $75. That’s insane. Would not recommend this app..Version: 9.4.1
✓ Don’t downloadTrial turns into a $71 payment. No thanks.Version: 8.2.4
✓ It's okayEvery time they do an update I cannot log in with my fingerprint. It's a real pain in the you know what..Version: 5.0.6
✓ MissNot happy because I got charged for app that didn’t say I had to pay for a thought I was getting a free one and you charge me out of my iTunes account which I had to pay for it I wouldn’t have I’ve never had to pay for a nap because I always choose the free one so I give you zero stars never got a email to say that I chose at the gonna get charged by three dollars. So I’m not happy at all I would like my money back I can’t afford an $83 app and have my mate had to pay for it that I want to tell me to put get it I barely getting by paying my everyday bills.Version: 8.3.4
✓ Worst app ever in the marketSpent money on getting confide when all of a sudden my account was blocked an suspended .I still have messages I cannot read ,I don’t know what the reason is for ripping me off but they have no right to say anything cause they should know nothing about my likes an dislikes as it’s encrypted isn’t it.Version: 9.6.3
✓ App crashesApp crashes few seconds after it loads up. I can't use it..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Is there a bug?Confide uses my Apple ID instead of mobile number to send messages within iMessage. There is no way to get support from Confide..Version: 4.0
✓ Dumb and pointlessWhile your reading this take the time and think what your going to use this for... Absolutely nothing stupidest app.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Horrible updateThis update made this app go from easy to use and safe, to making me wonder if all the easy to mess up settings are actually keeping me safe. And I have to click a conversation like 4 times to see the same message. Cancelling my two paid subscriptions I’ve had for years if this isn’t fixed.Version: 10.0.2
