How safe and anonymous is Wickr as a mode of communication?

Have began to see an uptick in the amount of buyers and vendors using Wickr as a mode of communication. I was curious as to what the consensus was around the community on the safety of this app is.

Just use Signal

Wickr is alright but not open source so you never know what they could do with info you spout. I would never recommend a vendor use it to communicate with buyers but if you are a local small-time dealer you should not have many issues if you set time deletion and all that

Bad.

I've never heard of anyone getting busted in any way from using Wickr. I'm really not sure why using is bad. Obviously, there is always a way despite PGPs, encryption, decryption, cryptocurrency that people still get busted. So, what's really that bad about using Wickr?

Edit: Also, someone could use Wickr and NeVer go on any darknet. Seems that is even safer.
