G+_Dan Lo Fat Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Possible that MyShake although has my vote, it is only for those in Cali. Really only based on the fact that each time the app reacts to a quake and you open it, the default view is Cali, even if you have a quake in OKLAHOMA - come on, dudes!

G+_Dan Lo Fat Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Connections shouldnt be on here: too many bolier plate Support Answers in comments: "We have made great progress in stabilizing the app and would love early users like you to try out again" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dan Lo Fat Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Forex is a Muuuuch better Exchange system, been around a lot longer, BUT THIS one has the Metal prices ASAP - Forex doesnt do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Moses Temu Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Been trying to convert everyone I know to telegram for months now. App inertia though. Feel like a lot of other cool features got skipped but at least it's got the lead (for now?). Love Telegram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Chris Clark Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I voted for Connections - Contact Notes. I don't live in an earthquake area, I don't need currency conversion and the last thing I need is another messaging app. The contact notes app is at least something a little different.

G+_Coty Weil Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I wish I could at least try connections before I vote but it says only available in India. Tried to side load it but it didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eric Philbrook Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 With Connections not available , I gotta vote for Telegram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_William Hunt Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Voted Telegram since connections would not allow access. Too bad cause it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_D Nguy?n Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Another message app that spams all your friends to join in order to use it. It's annoying when I get it and no one is on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Henry Adams Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Steve Gibson really does not like Telegram. He thinks its security is questionable and has tried to talk Leo out of using it on few occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Chris Nacca Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 In telegram try typing "@gif" into the message box , they are called inline bots, you can search for gifs right there and then ... some others include "@pic" "@imdb" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Adam Rattray Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Henry Adams Agree, Telegram is a terrible choice for encrypted messaging as they developed their own encryption scheme instead of using an industry standard (unless they have fixed that, it's been a while since I've looked into it). Although the message destruction feature is really cool, reminds me of Inspector Gadget. ;-) If your goal is end-to-end encrypted messaging, Threema is a much better choice (and Steve Gibson recommended).

G+_MA Sierra Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I just don't understand messaging apps... I have SMS which doesn't require all my friends and family to be using the same app. I've yet to hear a compelling argument to make me even consider using one?. Could someone on here educate me on the hype of Telegram and WhatsApp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Henry Adams Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 MA Sierra Signal Private Messenger by Open Whisper Systems, you have the best of both worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Adam Rattray Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 MA Sierra I don't understand it either. Maybe it's my age, who knows. I use SMS, everyone I know uses SMS. And for those few people for whom I don't have a phone number, Facebook Messenger works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Adam Rattray Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Henry Adams I think you're missing the point. To get the full benefit of any third party messaging app, especially one that encrypts messages, the people you are messaging have to be using the same app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Gurjit Soggi Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Ron Richards?? you missed one of the best Telegram features! Bots!!! ?This app is awesome. ?And transfer any file type of somewhere over a gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ned Jeffery Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Henry Adams it's security is no worse than hangouts or Facebook messenger. And people use those without a care in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
