[How it works]
Signal app is based on Wi-Fi peer-to-peer technology which enables the android devices (Android 4.0 and above) to connect directly to each other via WiFi without any intermediate access point. Wi-Fi peer-to-peer technology is also known as Wi-Fi Direct.
Signal app on start-up sends a signal to discover nearby devices. User can send additional signals by swiping the available list. Once the devices are found they appear in the available user list. Grey color signifies no connection while colored blocked is the indicator for connected device. Once the devices are found signal app establish the connections between the devices.

The stars are in middle as I can't yet rate the app. I'm not sure how to connect the wifi direct signal via the app. I've allowed all permissions yet still can't locate the phone next to me. However I am using an updated android version and the phone says it's for earlier versions. However the concept is a great idea. Developer let me know if you update.
App is not bad. WiFi peer to peer connection as opposed to cumbersome hotspots. But come on, it's very limited in what it can transfer. It has no provision for transferring videos, documents, music etc. I would have given five stars.
Profile screen doesn't show full message. Username must be greater than 5 characters but less than 14. Add pic after creating account or it makes you start over. Tried a few times and it works. Could be more user friendly.
Doesn't work between android 6 and 9 devices in close proximity. Imagine how confusing this would be for others with varying android versions. In time of crisis this app would just create more chaos. Should be removed from market until it's fixed.
The idea is very good but: 100% offline messages. The bad part is that we need to be connected to a network to make it work... And sometimes that network is connected to the Internet witch might not be trusted
I time and time again have had trouble with text free apps and needing internet access this is a very convenient app it processes with only Wi-Fi and very convenient thank you for this app Signal.
cant get it to work, minimal instructions, it sees the other phone and both see each other but just keeps saying the stupid "looks like your not connected"
It doesn't support my phone. I installed it and made a username but it crashes when I try to open it. Android 4.1.2
It fails to create a account in the first step. Cannot add photo and when I click the button it shows an error message which is not readable.
it needs an update, but its a great app. it allows you to communicate without internet connection, which is its purpose.
I have high hopes for this app & unlike FIRECHAT which requires internet to make an account, this does not. Very good feature.
I cant get passed the name and about you screen ill uninstall it if its not fixed soon . Edited i see the last time this app was updated was in 2015 maby thats why it dont work :(
Just installed on my device (tablet). Apprise me of the existing users or let me know how to access them. I look forward to a meaningful usage of this wonderful concept. My best wishes to Team SOM!
Doesn't stay connected across the room. Only one phone out of two will attempt connecting.
I expected more from this app, as I took my picture it came out and when I tried to go back in it logged me out and I had to restart.
it's not working it won't pull up names or anything and it kept shutting out when I went to set a profile picture
WiFi is switched on on two phones but they don't see each other...
Didn't find in it any friends. ..didn't want to continue and see the contact. ..there's a problem ? Thanks
Im not mean guys.. But im just saying that this app needs and update i guess? Or they have to improve this a faster connection..this app is good. Im just suggesting 🙂
It says my phone is too new for the app. I have an android phone less than a year old
It's a great app but it crashes everytime I try to upload my profile picture
The world continues to put forth things potentially great for many. Now, if we all can address the need to preserve ethics if & when a true global disaster rocks us... If we dont prepare, our most vulnerable will suffer far more than the random acts of sickness today. If others' well being doesnt motivate you, think of the fact all, even those most buffered, will suffer.
It doesn't work with out wifi.
Please make the app a little more attractive and effective
Its awesome so far, ill need to go outside and see if it stays connected,!! Thanks y'all!! Marry Christmas,!!
great app! is there a way to get a notification when a text cones in?
It is not working oin hotspot mode.
To be honest I'm confsued on what this app is supposed to do. When you have made your account and whatever that's when it got so confusing. You scroll to the right for contacts but then there are two sections. Blocked and Friends. Nothing pops up. What is the point? I don't recommend, it's a waste of time and it's stupid and confusing. Wouldn't ever try this app again, even if there was an update.
