It seems really cool but I'm a bit wary of it due to the crypto stuff.

Things I didn't like about Session when I looked at it:

Small group size limit
Forward secrecy has been removed
Isolated, app-specific onion network seems destined to forever be inferior to something like Tor, at least where privacy is concerned
Immature codebase (time and dedication could solve this, of course)

Unclear that their profit model will work out for them
