OK.  A friend was anxious to try it, so I installed it.  About 50MB download for
 my Android device.  Friend's android version was too old for the general app, b
ut his linux laptop supported the text (CLI) version.  His install for the lapto
p was only 25MB.

To my surprise the operation/presentation is not like in the website animations 
at all.  It's just like Telegram or Briar or Session on my phone.

But unlike Session or Briar, there is a Re-Edit option for messages.  It even al
lows posting/sharing image files. It also has a live voice-call feature (but I w
as unable to try it cuz my friend's laptop was not set up with sound.)  In any c
ase, it would seem like a fine way to make a private/encrypted voice call.

Like Briar/Session, it allows groups.
