Couple days ago Amazon bought Wickr. As with anything else with big corporations wickrs core mission is now most likely compromised.

I do not recommend the use of this app anymore since the acquisition by amaz0n. Amaz0n loves collecting as much information about you and storing it, why would they stop at wickr?
