Low reliability + poor support = Silent Circle

{latest update hasnt fixed whats broken & support hasnt replied to silent text messages for two weeks}

My assessment, after two years paid subscription, is Silent Circle remains a functionally impaired communication service with low reliability (Not withstanding their marketing outreach).

Frequent call drops, messages not being delivered and app crashes means this is a effectively a "vanity privacy service".

One might enjoy some privacy- when the app is functioning- but to rely on it as dependable system for communication is begging for disaster to strike, as my team has learnt the hard way.

It was one thing to slug it out as an early adopter two years ago (in support of a privacy focused company with Phil Zimmerman onboard) but this far along one expects some return on investment and faith. Unfortunately, Silent Circle has fallen short.

This latest "upgrade" is a disaster, with functions removed and reliability going down considerably. You cannot depend on it. Period.
