    OptiSigns has made it incredibly simple and practical to manage digital signs. The mobile app functions nicely, and video playback is far superior to the other signage software competitors. Extremely fast to set up. The system's simplicity of use and cloud compatibility is what I like best. It is incredibly simple and intuitive to upload files and switch screens. The TV stick is plug-and-play and requires little to no technical expertise. And less appropriate for me is I believe the scheduling should be improved to allow for more spontaneous additions to the schedule. It would also be helpful if there was a feature that allowed the screen to turn on and off according to a timetable. The sync play feature may be improved. I find it annoying that YouTube playlists must be timed to exactly match their duration to appear correctly. The mobile app should get an emergency message feature.

    Signal is great for high-security applications where privacy is a concern, perhaps because of the sensitive nature of the materials being communicated. For instance, if you are sending sensitive information about a film that hasn't been released yet, and you want to make sure that paparazzi and fans don't get access to spoiler information, Signal is a great way to communicate.

    I've never contacted support but I see that they are on the ball for bug fixes, highly communicative in release notes, and continually releasing updates to Signal that address common user complaints. Given how responsive the development team is, and how they are continually improving Signal, I think their support is top notch.

    Signal is far and away better and more feature-rich. Skype is no longer the app it used to be before Microsoft acquired it, and WhatsApp, while trying to be much like Signal with claims, has too many features that lead to a sense of insecurity as it's too widely used and used for too many things.
