Great app, I love it. Regarding native Tor, they did add Tor-only mode which is encouraging, but yeah embedded Tor would be great. Except on devices where you already have Tor running anyway... ? Dunno, Amethyst takes the same approach and I don't see this as a dealbreaker. They are working on sender relays too which will fix transport issues.

The other points are totally valid, especially the UI I think. But the team know this and are working on making things better.

p.s. I would not include Session in a list of best in class private messengers. It's backed by a premined proof of stake shitcoin which is totally unnecessary and opens new threat models - a well funded attacker could acquire a significant proportion of oxen service nodes and start running correlation attacks. In addition they castrated the Signal protocol in a few ways such as removing cryptographic deniability. I could go on.
