The fact that it's still down after all this time is unprecedented. They have an army of some of the best and brightest engineers, it's incredible. 
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

That's a personal opinion, nothing to do with the features
That it is a communication platform not a entertainment platform
In what way?

That is the main reason. Everyone has What'sApp. So you need it anyways. Almost everyone on Telegram has What'sApp too, so you can communicate with them on WA without needing an additional app to keep on top of.

If you want the most technically featured communications app get Signal not Telegram.

I haven't gone through the app store to see what's the best app possible...but as many more ppl have begun to sign up for Telegram, I can't wait for the day that it becomes the default message app.
