best mobile messaging apps?

I was curious which one of these following 3 mobile messaging apps would be the "best" to use in regards to security:

  1. Wickr Me
  2. Telegram
  3. Signal

or is there another app thats better than those?

any input is appreciated. Thanks :)

Signal. Best encryption and the most established developers.

Signal for actual texting, Wickr for private messaging on Wi-Fi

I suppose one could also make use of Privnote/Temp.pm in conjunction with the app for an extra layer of obscurity, but I can't comment on whether or not it would make a worthwhile difference
